If the kelp doesnt float right away. Its because the pistons interrupt the water but the kelp growth returns it to a source block state. When the next kelp grows the previous kelp will float to the top again.
@@TrevorBronowickireplace the glass on the piston level with stairs. The stairs should face the pistons. Put water into the stairs. This will make water source blocks that the pistons can’t interrupt
works very well ! u can get dried kelp and normal kelp(remove the smoker and modify the collecting area) good luck,and 1.20.4 works fine,vanilla/modded ! thanks a lot.
I used this farm - I’d recommend you extend the water sourceblock layer (where the observers look at) 1 more block or more, unless you have observers throughout the whole observer layer. Having observers every other layer will occassionally result in a 4 block high kelp in between observers that actually disrupt the water flow for collection.
If you want to ensure that the water stream never gets disrupted , Create that one block of sourcewater above the observer line like I said, and in that line place signs. Items go through signs but kelp blocks cannot grow in them. Only place signs on the vertical columns where there are no observers. Heres a visual: Kelp source: K Observers behind water blocks: O Signs on building blocks(waterlogged): S Normal block: N water stream layer: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ n s n s n s n s n s n o n o n o n o n o n o K K K K K K K K K K K
For anyone wondering why it doesn't work as advertised: Since minecraft 1.21 pistons remove water source blocks when extended. Water source blocks are important for buoyancy, and if a source block is not present, the kelp will sink to the next source block. Having that said, in Java edition, Kelp will replace that very same source block when growing back. The tricky part being that kelp grows on average every 426 seconds, or every 7 minutes. Some before, some after. Items despawn after 5 minutes. Which means that you will lose a lot of kelp too despawning. There is also a 50/50 chance if the kelp drops or floats to begin with, meaning that half of the kelp you farm is guaranteed, the other half has a very slim chance. In conclusion, kelp farms work at anywhere inbetween 50-75% efficiency compared to 1.20.
I feel a good point to mention is Mending, the EXP will repair anything with mending, this is especially helpful for Silk Touch tools as you can not get EXP by mining with it.
This can eventually lead to an issue where the 2nd highest row of kelp grows to the top, creating an infinite water source. If you're building these farms and you have any quartz/redstone at all for 1-3 observers, then you should have enough, or be able to get enough, to finish it. If you skip every other observer, you *may* be able to get away with it, but again... 1 quartz and 2 redstone dust per observer. Pretty trivial at that stage.
Not sure I understand the reason for the gates. But I do have a question. If you double up on smokers with lever in between (double barrels and hoppers to feed in.) could you not theoretically double overall so gains?
For those wondering the easy farm does work in Bedrock edition not sure about the efficient farm yet as I don't have the materials yet but will update this comment when tested
I wanted you to extend it vertically but it seems that the kelp grows 1 block higher and stops right before the observer , preventing the observer to detect the kelp and collecting it . Does anyone have any idea how to fix it ?
Same, I can't figure out why, I could replace the bottom blocks with soul sand, but I'd rather avoid that to prevent lag, kelp is supposed to float just because, I don't see why it get's stuck, I ended up just switching to the second design.
Idk if this was already said but your item list is way off. I had the perfect amount of resources according to the list but I’ve been short on a few things, block, pistons, observers, fence gates. I’m super thankful for the design and the video, but please address that!
place water first and then place redstone. and then when the pistons activate and water is deleted, the kelp wil eventually grow there and then it will come up if you place soul soil in the base
@@swanky_jesus place water first and then place redstone behind observer. make sure that there is water source block in all blocks. and then when the pistons activate and water is deleted, the kelp wil eventually grow there and then it will come up if you place soul sand in the base its ok if the water bubbles are not there when piston activates, it will eventually get fixed

For anyone with kelp not floating issues, manually activate the pistons and waterlog them when they are extended.
omg, I'll try it now! you saved my farm omg [well, a farm in creative that is but doesn't matter]

You have just solved so many problems I've had
i spent hours trying to fix it.... but i didn't need to. thank you
This didn't work for me, the leftover kelp ended up despawning

I'm pretty sure that using 1 dispenser each floor or for the entire farm will save you a ton of materials

Kelp doesn't float because after one movement of all piston, the water flow is changing and is not on the center... something is wrong
Brooooo amazing tutorial thanks a lot
The K in Kmond stands for kelp
I spam emojis for the memes
These comments are getting weirder every time I upload
Thank you!
DID it exactly like the video and it messed up 5 different ways, I ended up just making my own design at the end through fixing all the messups
TY IT WORKS
Thank you now i can smelt ore for my beacon
built the efficient one and it hardly produces more dried kelp than it uses
I also had the same problem, just build a carpet duper and connect it to the barrel, using hoppers, that's it 😉😉
@ I was using this for fuel so i ended up just making a lava farm instead
@@snoman2017 lava is good but, it's not convenient, I am thinking to stack this farm like 5 times for insane rates
Not sure I understand the reason for the gates. But I do have a question. If you double up on smokers with lever in between (double barrels and hoppers to feed in.) could you not theoretically double overall so gains?
The gates block the water from above, allowing the bottom flow to feed into the hopper.
Even soul sand won’t work. Any ideas on how to make the kelp float?
The pistons get rid of the bubbles
When the kelp grow again, the water will become source again and they should flow now
For those wondering the easy farm does work in Bedrock edition not sure about the efficient farm yet as I don't have the materials yet but will update this comment when tested
Include items per hour in description. You can use carpet mod with hopper counter and tick warp. Anyway, great videos!
I was looking for an alternative to the sand based kelp farm. I will test this on bedrock
did it work
Been sick so I havent tried it yet. Ill come back here to report when I do
amazing, but what if i want to make 3 block distance over my own farm single piston with observer ? any video ?
I wanted you to extend it vertically but it seems that the kelp grows 1 block higher and stops right before the observer , preventing the observer to detect the kelp and collecting it .
Does anyone have any idea how to fix it ?
why extend it vertically?
@@rbad6215I'm thinking, this way it'll produce more kelp before the piston breaks them.
Only a piston with an observer goes off... even after adding the redstone
What do I do if the hoppers are connected to the smoker correctly but the items won’t go into smoker from the hopper
My kelps don't float up to the surface any idea what to do?
Same, I can't figure out why, I could replace the bottom blocks with soul sand, but I'd rather avoid that to prevent lag, kelp is supposed to float just because, I don't see why it get's stuck, I ended up just switching to the second design.
@@ichigoteguzz place soul sand not soul soil
Will this work on bedrock
The kelp keeps floating to the top and not flowing to the hoppers, how do I fix that?

When I put the water in the farm it makes the pistons activate which deletes the water
place water first and then place redstone. and then when the pistons activate and water is deleted, the kelp wil eventually grow there and then it will come up if you place soul soil in the base
Do this work in bedrock
bro the water is getting full cause of the kelp how to fix this?
Can you make a iron farm but in bedrock edition
Also the video was helpfull
yes
first on i find very good great return on investment and as a bonus you can esily stack them by having them all flow to the bottom smoker
the farm canot work with this design anymore on java, the piston break the water...
What can you doo with kelps ?
Kelp blocks are a amazing source of fuel, some people also like to use kelp blocks in their builds 😄
Anyone know if any of these will work in 1.21?
Both will work also add the crafter to the kelp collection chest to make direct dried kelp blocks .
im guessing this is stackable.. right?
you are wasting my one sign
I was affraid i was only one wondering that
@@Katsurisan this comment is old, so i forgot the meaning ToT
@@breax0909 on first listing it shows you need sign but creator neber uses it on the build
here❌ he✔
fail. kelp doesnt float
the piston is supposed to make the kelp float, it works for me
place soul sand in the base
@@siddhantvora2010the pistons get rid of the bubbles when I place the soul sand. Any fix?
@@swanky_jesus place water first and then place redstone behind observer. make sure that there is water source block in all blocks. and then when the pistons activate and water is deleted, the kelp wil eventually grow there and then it will come up if you place soul sand in the base
its ok if the water bubbles are not there when piston activates, it will eventually get fixed
Terrible design, Spent all this time making the build for it not to work
