What to do here in the guide's order

1Chest and hopper funnel
  • Double chest (x 0, z 0)
Instructions of step 1

In the middle of a flat 21 × 21 area, dig down 3 blocks and place a double chest. Above it build the hopper funnel: two hoppers pointing down into the chest, and around the middle one three hoppers pointing into it. One block higher, four hoppers pointing down – one on each side of the centre block.

  1. In the middle of a flat 21 × 21 area, dig down 3 blocks and place a double chest. Above it build the hopper funnel: two hoppers pointing down into the chest, and around the middle one three hoppers pointing into it. One block higher, four hoppers pointing down – one on each side of the centre block.

    • Double chest
    • Hoppers point down

    On 3 layers: Y 0, Y +1, Y +2

  2. Turn the ground into four 9 × 9 fields with a one-block strip of grass between them and around them. In the centre of every field, replace one block with a water source – it keeps the whole field watered.

    • Water source in the middle of each field
  3. Place a composter on each water source. It is the farmers' job site – each farmer works in the field around its composter.

  4. Plant carrots, potatoes or beetroot on all farmland (one kind per field, or mix them). The farmers keep replanting what they harvest.

  5. Build glass walls two blocks high around the whole farm and between the four fields, so every farmer stays in its own field. Leave the four blocks next to the centre free.

    On 2 layers: Y +3, Y +4

  6. In the four gaps next to the centre, place a rail on the ground and a closed fence gate above it. Put a glowstone block on top of every composter: the light lets the crops grow at night and stops mobs from spawning.

    • Closed fence gate above the rail

    On 2 layers: Y +3, Y +4

  7. Place a hopper minecart on each of the four rails. They sit above the hoppers of the funnel and pick up everything that lands in the middle.

    Place: 4× Hopper Minecart

  8. Bring one farmer villager into each field (an unemployed villager becomes a farmer at the composter) and one more villager into the centre block between the minecarts. The farmers harvest and replant the crops; whenever they have more food than they need, they throw it to the hungry villager in the centre – onto the minecarts.

    Place: 5× Villager

  9. Collect the crops from the chest under the centre. It can take a Minecraft day before the farmers start sharing. Stay within simulation distance; trade with the farmers once so they keep their job.

How it works

Version notes

Farmers (villagers with a composter as job site) harvest mature carrots, potatoes, beetroot and wheat and replant them. Villagers share food: one with plenty throws some towards a villager with little. Hopper minecarts pick up items at their position, and hoppers pull items out of minecarts above them.

A farmer that has never traded can lose its job when it cannot reach its composter – trade with each farmer once. The crops grow on random ticks only near a player (since 1.21.5 in any loaded chunk); the glowstone keeps them growing at night. For wheat Shulkercraft recommends a different design.

~820 Carrot/h — Measured on 26.3 (Oct 15, 2026). Measured with our automated test on a local Minecraft server (fake player at the AFK spot); your rate depends on render distance, difficulty and surroundings.

About the Villager Crop Farm

Farmer villagers harvest fully grown crops and replant them by themselves. When a farmer has more food than it needs, it throws some to a villager that has less. This farm uses that: four farmers work in four 9 × 9 fields, and one unemployed villager stands in the middle between four hopper minecarts.

Everything the farmers throw to it lands on the minecarts, which pass it down through a small hopper funnel into a double chest. Each field can grow a different crop – carrots, potatoes or beetroot.
