Botania | Automatic Tree Farm | Tutorial

This design is ideal for a beginner to Botania or just a passive early game tree farm. I did come up with this design myself for the intentions of a cheap and simple tree farm, bearing in mind to keep it relatively cheap, and simpler, while not having a messy build. This completes the tree farm challenge but not the advance version, that one is yet to come.

Explanation of function:
The Idea is that the mana powering this farm is produced by the munchdew's, that uses a path with the force relays and lenses to break the logs of the new trees. The height of the munchdew is intentional, to keep some leaves to de-spawn for saplings. The design avoids large trees growing and will function continuously. The hopperhock collects all the dropped items and, in particular, the open crate is there to keep the saplings always available for the rannuncarpus to plant. The issue without redstone timing the hopperhock, is that the hopperhock and rannuncarpus will compete for the saplings, and drop the efficiency of the farm.

8 years after this video was posted and im still using this setup! Love the list of items required at the end too, so helpful.

[bigmclargehuge]

Oh my god this is amazing! A great setup, a tutorial that teaches what i need to learn without taking 30 minutes, and a list of all the items needed?? Possibly one of the best minecraft tutorials I've ever seen.

[nepocrates]

I love how quickly and full of info this video is -- thanks

[GeneralAtrox]

Awesome video, nice and quick, all set up, everything I need to see, love the simple layout of the video, no jumping around, straight to the point and a great list at the end just in case you missed something.


Will be returning for more.

[TheCrimsonBeat]

You make really good, clear tutorials. Please keep making them :)

[AdagioWoW]

Short tutorials are great, keep it up!

[CSCrimson]

Short sweet and too the point. Not to mention clear and well organized. Well done.

[arturgama]

I didn't notice it was already finished lol I was expecting a long tedious video but this is better!

[bigmclargehuge]

By the way, this video and the explanation of how all the pieces worked was not only enough to help me set up an automatic tree farm(something I've never even tried before), but ALSO, taking the lessons this and the automatic milk farm video taught, I'm able to automate other tasks on our server. Thanks so much!

[timonlukas]

Awesome video! I like that you keep it so short. You have earned yourself a new sub. :)

[lukeoslund]

I like the speed tutorial, thank you.

[dsddoesminecraft]

Very cool.... love the speed! works well.... :) top job

[ElliotMinorFan]

Very good. Compact, self sustaining and very easy to build...going to incorporate this into my botania build I think :D

[Jansey]

I just had a great idea to increase the efficiency for this farm, I don't know why I didn't do it before:
Use a redstone mana spreader above the mana pool, with a hovering hourglass (set around 1-2min), pointing at a drum of the canopy (between the top force relay and the mana spreader).

[ColonelMundane]

I love the idea of short tutorials, this is perfect! I noticed some people mentioning that this may be more advanced than the "beginner" position for botania, so maybe you can have video titles that show that? I.E., "Botania | Automatic Tree Farm | Intermediate Tutorial". (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) Just a thought.

[sargetun]

hey great gude and really helped thanks! I did a really cosmetically ugly version of this, I just moved the two chest, two blocks up and the open crate as well, the hopper and the hourglass/redstone, I added a wooden pressure plate under the open crate, hooked the redstone wiring back to the open crate, so each time a sapling is on the pressure plate, no more will fall. Now for the sapling storage, I simply up a hopper on top of the crate and a jabba barrel on top of that, upgraded it twice and threw a void storage upgrade onto it so after it fills up itll just delete the excess. Its running perfectly, I could switch out the setup for a drum setup like mentioned alot here, but this setup is working well enough that I don't need to do anything else with it. Thanks for the video! if anyone's not understanding my horrible explanation of this and actually want to try my setup, just comment and ill post a imgur link

[nathanlamberth]

It was too fast for someone that doesn't no this mod (that's me), but that's okay I'll return for this when understand the components. Love it, do more

[malhavok]

If you use oak saplings with a caping block to prevent the super oaks from generating, you could get apples to feed to a gourmaryllis.

[condoslime]

So you can bind a flower to a mana spreader? Because that is a great Idea to use like you did clearly in this video. :)

[cupcakeosauruss]

Ooh! Yeah this works great. Have it feeding the wood to my endoflames. Although I do have a question, how would I add more trees for the farm, or would I just make another farm a little farther away from it.
