Hi Ian, thanks for yet another top guide! I've just built this on our server and it works great. I made a couple of small additions now we're in 1.21 (I'm only interested in making honey blocks, not honeycomb, so my farm is outputting only honey bottles): 1. Hooked up the output hopper to deposit into a crafter that generates honey blocks from the bottles produced 2. Set up another item filter to draw out the empty bottles from the crafter output chest, fed those bottles into a new dropper linked to an observer clock that only fires when the dropper has 42+ items, which then sends 3-4 empty bottles at a time into a bubble column leading back into the bottle injector, and thus back into the farm cycle. It's completely automated, completely self-sustaining, and all I need to do is pull out the honeycomb blocks from the output chest when I need them. In theory the system would only break if I allowed the output chest to fill with honey blocks, and that would take a long time!

Jeez it's one of the best Redstone channel I've ever seen, I mean sure there is a lot of super impressive technical Redstone builders out there, but building a single one of them if minecraft is not your full-time job is out of reach of the vast majority of players Limited ressources combined with unlimited creativity and outside the box thinking...

He has decent designs and targets his videos at casuals. Thats the only reason hes sucsessful. Its really hard for real tech players to have a successful channel with actually doing what they like. Which is much more complex and interesting things
I have built this farm today on my 1.19.2 realm and it's working really good! This is the first design i found that doesn't require crafting 10000 bottles, and this viseo saved me. Thank you sm for coming up with this idea and posting a video!! Rlly looking forwars to your next vids
This farm may break in 1.20.5 because today's snapshot made it so that solid blocks act like composters when placed on hoppers and stop the hoppers from picking up items. This may potentially mean that honey bottles will glitch out without being picked up by the hopper below the bee hive. I haven't tested this yet. Edit: Nevermind. Mojang just made a change in the latest snapshot so that the bee nests or hives won't disable hoppers.
i was breeding bees for about 13 hours now AND NOW I SEE THAT THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FARM FOR HONEY WITH A BREEDER? i just give up you are the best at designing explanations and overall just the BEST
These videos make me happy that this sort of thing is possible and incredibly angry at how much time I have wasted on more complicated farms with fewer drop rates
Thank you so much. My current design just sucks. I've gotten maybe 1 stack of honey from it over the last week with many hours of it in loading range. Keeps getting stuck. Definitely going to try this
using flowering flowering azalea leaves instead of flowers makes the farm a tiiiiiny bit more efficient, since the bees will fly one block further away, before returning ;)
@@M4XD4B0ZZ when bees go to the flower they also have to move down but if its flowering azalea they dont have to move down. Prolly a 0.4 second difference but hey more efficient is better. Flowering azalea isn't expensive also
Just built a 36 hive version in a new survival world running on the 1.21 experimental stuff, and was loosing bottles out of the side overnight. Good to see that this is because of spawn chunks and not a change with any mechanics in the next update. Also, the auto crafter is great for reducing the number of bottles you need. I currently have it hooked up to sort out honey bottles, craft them into blocks and recycle the empty glass bottles, and works like a charm with ~16 bottles for 36 hives.
Wanted to elaborate on the issue of bottles being spat out of the farm as I was able to replicate the issue and know exactly what is causing the issue. When the dispenser facing into the hive fires, it must have the first slot available in the following hopper. When that hopper is either locked or occupied, it will spit the item out to the side. In my case, I was feeding recycled bottles back into the hopper, and every so often the hopper would receive a recycled bottle just as the dispenser was firing, causing the dispenser to spit whatever item (honey or empty bottle) out to the side.
@@wyattbrooks3712 Ah, that's interesting, thanks. I'm running 1.20.4 with the 1.21 crafter, and whenever I log in, my bee farm has emptied pretty much all of the bottles out. I've never caught it in the act of ejecting a bottle, so I'd assumed it was just a bug in the server. My farm is...um.. 15 hives I think, in a single chunk and in the spawn chunks. I'd tried everything else, but that hopper slot issue is probably it. I'll try massively reducing the number of bottles and see if that helps.
Your farms and tutorials are absolutely awesome. Most of the time i do end up modifing it a bit to suit me but no one should be hard time following them or understanding what is actually happening.
I tested a lot with technical minecrafting and how to make farms more efficient and compact. I mean really a lot. When I found your channel I was crying over how beautiful, easy, cheap and compact your farms are (In a good way!) and that I didn‘t think of that. I truly respect your dedication to design these farms and that they are so cheap. This is way better than some copied farms by other TH-camrs getting more views from it. Thank you
Holy cow, this is what I’ve been needing. All my farms are made with the cheapest materials I can do because I’m solo and don’t need to make massive farms like Scicraft because I just need a few doubles chests total.
Just built this in 1.18.2 and it was an easy build and works perfectly. I with with simple extractors for now since only have enough glass for 126 bottles anyway. Your video voice is fantastic. Both in pacing and resonance. I added a nighttime sensor to this in the overworld so it would only run when the bees were exiting the hive.
Very nice design. I built mine as 2 separate pods with 6 hives each, both powered by the same clock. 1 pod is for honey bottles and the other pod is for honeycomb. I built it on a platform above the ground so I could put a small sort system under it to collect the output. The whole thing is about 9 x 7 x 8 blocks tall, including the chests.
I discovered your channel recently and all of these tutorials are fantastic! I love the focus of easy to build yet scary efficient - would love to see your take on a shulker farm!
Combined half of cubfan135's automatic honey block contraption to this, which crafts me honey blocks and sends the bottles back to run around in the farm. Only 42 bottles for 36 beehives.
Every time I come up with what seems to me a simple, effective, and efficient redstone design, there is always someone who has already done one many times better
I loved the farm itself, and the breeding setup... But the best part was how you showed how to quickly catch the bees that leave their nest so that you can get the nest without waiting for the night. Thank you for showing that. :P (I had a feeling it was that simple...)
Materials list-For those too lazy to just look and find it :) 16 dispensers 10 hoppers 7 repeaters 16 Redstone 5 walls 2 comparaters 1 Redstone torch And about 30 building blocks just to be safe. *Btw this list only includes the main part and not the small sorting system. Though if you really need that aswell than just grab a little bit more Redstone dust comparator and another hopper.
EDIT: It works, just some LWC plugin was interfering with the droppers. I’m playing on a 1.17.1 server, and I believe I have followed everything correctly. The dropper right above the comparator in the sorting system does not even trigger, only accumulating filled/empty glass bottles.
@@ianxofour I found the solution just now. It appears that the server I’m playing in is using a plugin called LWC, which protects the contents of containers like chests and dispensers. I just had to type in the right commands to enable each dispenser to retrieve items from the hoppers! Thank you very much though for your prompt replies!
You can replace the solid wall blocks and the dirt/flower with cherry or flowering azalea leaves and place spore blossoms in the open gap for a bit more efficiency
After a bit of tweaking (literally just pushing a hopper minecart into each beehive), I’ve gotten this farm to work on bedrock edition, I don’t know if it’s 100% reliable, but I have yet to see a bee escape. Result seem promising though 😁
the bottles fly out because the last beehive shouldn't have a repeater if it has a repeater the bottle fall out {the beehive near the comparator shouldn't have a repeater @4:26}
If you make this farm on a Java edition MP server after 1.18 (or 1.19), it is a good idea to use walls between the single cells as well (between the flowers). This does not seem to impact efficiency, even though the bees get pushed more to the side their center is still on the flower block and they work as normal. Doing this will prevent the rare bug that bees spawn slightly to the side to the front of the hive. If there is a solid block they may take suffocation damage (and eventually die), and if it's a transparent block (ie glass) they may glitch upwards until they leave the farm. I also built the farm slightly different, to avoid the hives on the side (which would have the bees rarely spawn inside the hive to the side). So I placed 4 on each side and no hives on the short side.
@@ItsTank_ I think we can't really say Shulkercraft steal, as they often (if not always) mention & put the link of the creator Name/ TH-cam Channel ... But ShulkerCraft & Mystic Cat aren't Farm Creators that's for sure, They are only tutorials maker ! (Btw thanks you Ianxofour this is some amazing discovery !)
@@xXKongRiderHacker yes, they add links, but compare the view count Shulkercraft’s videos the to the original creators, they have change due to being called out, but by putting just links in the description is not good enough. Most TH-camrs say when they use a farm design “this farm was made by x and you should go check him/her out and drop them a sub”
Another excellent farm! I just wish it came out before your trident farm. I built the 64 beehive version and in place of the flowers, I used Flowering Azalea leaves, and I also used them for the dividing block between the bee cells so the bees pop out into a 1x1 cell with most having 3 flowering opportunities, and it works great. I also like that with no dirt under the leaves, the farm looks really cool from below. I built it above the Nether roof, and I was going to use a chunk loader, but I AFK’d overnight and I am set for a while! I can’t wait to see what’s next!
As of snap shot 24w06a and the hopper "optimization" this is unfortunately 100% broken. all bottles now exit the system onto the ground. Since i have a chunk sized bee farm it makes a mess in very short time. a chunk loader does not help the "glitched out" bottles.
Check out 27W07A, they fixed this issue with hopper of interacting well with hives. If you're playing in snapshots to use the 1.21 experimental stuff, consider playing in 1.20.4. An existing world can be migrated just fine, including turning on experimental features if needed in an existing world, but it took me a google search and reddit post to figure that one out.
You good sir is out of this world. Been holding up to build the signal strength based monster bee farm. Now i dont need to sell my soul to get the bottles. Absolutely brilliant
unlike like most farm tutorials yours can be made in early game which is something I appreciate you got something for a early game guardian, shulker shell or enderman farm?
Endermen farms are actually super easy. Check out logical geek boys wither rose farm. Just build it in the void and without any of the bottom bits. You need a little over 1000 blocks, a fair bit of carpet/leaves for the void bridge, a few stacks of ender pearls, a minecart and a few rails, 2 trapdoors, 1 iron bar, and 1 nametag. I recommend bringing extra nametags and ender pearls if possible because endermites are a pain.
(Edit) This solution is flawed, please see my comment below (end edit) If you want honeycombs instead of honey bottles, I suggest to reconfigure the desired amount of beehives by filling the dispenser with shears and having the dropper at the bottom point sideways towards the next hopper. This allows you to easily set the number of beehives producing honeycombs. If you add shears to the some dispensers, these will fill up with empty bottles because the dispenser without shears will always pass bottles. You can add shears equally to all dispensers of course, but then the math for the ratio of honeycombs to honey bottles becomes complicated (as it depends on the number of empty bottles circulating).
Thank you! I was just wondering this and your comment was just what I needed to know! It does seem like honeycomb occasionally pops up on top of the nest instead of being harvested through the dropper/hopper system with the dropper pointing sideways however. The only other design change I made was with the use of flowering azalea leaves in place of where the flower goes as well as for the spacing in between bee hive slots where the smooth stone would have gone.
@@aerodin7853 Yes, I'm seeing the same thing. I believe the best way is to separate the beehives where the bottles circulate from the beehives that you use to get honeycomb. I showcase the (hopefully better) solution here in my video: th-cam.com/video/Q1e3xT1xJ0M/w-d-xo.html
Actually... The solution I sketched is flawed, because the hopper seems to be in cooldown sometimes when it should pick up honeycomb. I showcase the (hopefully better) solution here in my video: th-cam.com/video/Q1e3xT1xJ0M/w-d-xo.html
This works for 1.21.1. Two thumbs up. There are huge builds, complex builds, but nothing portrays elegance as this does. I added the new autocrafter to make honey block and the empty bottle is fed back to the loop, making it totally self-sustainable build & forget farm.
works very well altough i have sometimes a few items dropped out the system, its far more convenient then farms that need to fill dispenser with thousand bottles, excellent work once more :)
I've been scratching my head when I'm trading glass for crafting thousands of bottle from villager and was thinking want to do the recycling bottle thing like what Xisuma done in S7, and this pop out, really mad lad respect ur video, very helpful my friend
your tutorials are always my favorite :]. I've been learning technical MC stuff a lot in the past year but i never got to honey farms until a while ago where I watched ilmango's vid on it. This video introduced a really nice concept that makes it a lot more doable in an early game setting, and easier to manage. Thanks for this vid dude :]
Apparently I came to youtube at just the right time to look up honey farm tutorials. Nothing I've seen before seemed worth the bother, but this is just so simple I can't refuse it. I even came back here because I built my second version of this farm on a paper server and the baby bees popped out of the farm, and what do you know it's addressed in the description!
Just found your channel today and your minecraft videos are great! The detailed explanation for the mechanics of each build is such a good choice. Most of MC tutorials don't explain how to farm works and as such are hard to make your own improvements upon! Please keep making more of these videos!
I forgot I had this video on a different tab and it started playing automatically. I heard noises of someone walking around and placing blocks but I thought it was coming from my game. Once Ian started speaking I had the biggest heart attack. Good farm though.
my favourite bee breeder is taking over a villagers house and putting dirt floor and flowers, use the walls to place a handfull of hives to get a good amount to start breeding, when nigthfall comes place empty hives for the baybees to go to sleep
for people having bottle spit out on loggin in on servers, now in 1.21.2+ (pearls disappear and reappear in the world when you are not online or you are online) you can hook a pearl stasis chamber to the block where the lever is, detecting the pearl in stasis with a tripwire hook, inverting the signal. So when you're online the machine is on, when you go offline it turns off.
I decided on a 14 hive one to test it just with honey, works great, I setup mine near my mob farm in the overworld, so have setup a light sensor to turn it off at night when the bee's sleep, I just put 1 redstone down where you put the lever for on/off, then a inverted sensor after that, then a block ontop the block where you placed the lever in your vid and put lever on that 2nd block instead for an additional switch (besides being able to rightclick the sensor and invert the signal).
this farm is so efficient that by the time I built the filter, an auto-crafter and a storage I had already enough honey I needed :-D Confirmed working in 1.21.3
Full of background relevant alternative information, great videoing and a really good controlled voice over. Thanks Ian, only just found your channel but I can see it's one of the best, if not THE best tutorial channel around.

Jeez it's one of the best Redstone channel I've ever seen, I mean sure there is a lot of super impressive technical Redstone builders out there, but building a single one of them if minecraft is not your full-time job is out of reach of the vast majority of players
Limited ressources combined with unlimited creativity and outside the box thinking... You are brilliant!
He has decent designs and targets his videos at casuals. Thats the only reason hes sucsessful. Its really hard for real tech players to have a successful channel with actually doing what they like. Which is much more complex and interesting things
@@glowsquidmc if real tech players are making youtube videos because it's what they like, then they shouldn't mind not having lots of attention.
@@glowsquidmc ALSO HAVE YOU SEEN HIS GOLD AND WITHER SKELETON FARM??? THEY'RE CRAZY DUDEEE
Easiest, compact yet efficient honey farm i've seen so far, thank you for the tutorial
I have built this farm today on my 1.19.2 realm and it's working really good! This is the first design i found that doesn't require crafting 10000 bottles, and this viseo saved me. Thank you sm for coming up with this idea and posting a video!! Rlly looking forwars to your next vids
This farm may break in 1.20.5 because today's snapshot made it so that solid blocks act like composters when placed on hoppers and stop the hoppers from picking up items. This may potentially mean that honey bottles will glitch out without being picked up by the hopper below the bee hive. I haven't tested this yet.
Edit: Nevermind. Mojang just made a change in the latest snapshot so that the bee nests or hives won't disable hoppers.
You can also use stairs because they arent completely solid
@@Ayunders You need the block to be a bee nest or a bee hive to work. If you replace it with stairs, then it won't work.
i was breeding bees for about 13 hours now AND NOW I SEE THAT THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FARM FOR HONEY WITH A BREEDER? i just give up you are the best at designing explanations and overall just the BEST
These videos make me happy that this sort of thing is possible and incredibly angry at how much time I have wasted on more complicated farms with fewer drop rates
Thank you so much. My current design just sucks. I've gotten maybe 1 stack of honey from it over the last week with many hours of it in loading range. Keeps getting stuck. Definitely going to try this
using flowering flowering azalea leaves instead of flowers makes the farm a tiiiiiny bit more efficient, since the bees will fly one block further away, before returning ;)
I don't really see the difference.. Could you explain?
@@M4XD4B0ZZ it doesnt actually make a difference anyway, just don't do it lol
@@M4XD4B0ZZ although it does make the farm more compact, because you don't need those extra dirt blocks under the flowers
@@M4XD4B0ZZ when bees go to the flower they also have to move down but if its flowering azalea they dont have to move down. Prolly a 0.4 second difference but hey more efficient is better. Flowering azalea isn't expensive also
@@Kino-Imsureq thx bro
Just built a 36 hive version in a new survival world running on the 1.21 experimental stuff, and was loosing bottles out of the side overnight. Good to see that this is because of spawn chunks and not a change with any mechanics in the next update. Also, the auto crafter is great for reducing the number of bottles you need. I currently have it hooked up to sort out honey bottles, craft them into blocks and recycle the empty glass bottles, and works like a charm with ~16 bottles for 36 hives.
Wanted to elaborate on the issue of bottles being spat out of the farm as I was able to replicate the issue and know exactly what is causing the issue. When the dispenser facing into the hive fires, it must have the first slot available in the following hopper. When that hopper is either locked or occupied, it will spit the item out to the side. In my case, I was feeding recycled bottles back into the hopper, and every so often the hopper would receive a recycled bottle just as the dispenser was firing, causing the dispenser to spit whatever item (honey or empty bottle) out to the side.
@@wyattbrooks3712 Ah, that's interesting, thanks. I'm running 1.20.4 with the 1.21 crafter, and whenever I log in, my bee farm has emptied pretty much all of the bottles out. I've never caught it in the act of ejecting a bottle, so I'd assumed it was just a bug in the server. My farm is...um.. 15 hives I think, in a single chunk and in the spawn chunks. I'd tried everything else, but that hopper slot issue is probably it. I'll try massively reducing the number of bottles and see if that helps.
Your farms and tutorials are absolutely awesome. Most of the time i do end up modifing it a bit to suit me but no one should be hard time following them or understanding what is actually happening.
I tested a lot with technical minecrafting and how to make farms more efficient and compact. I mean really a lot. When I found your channel I was crying over how beautiful, easy, cheap and compact your farms are (In a good way!) and that I didn‘t think of that. I truly respect your dedication to design these farms and that they are so cheap. This is way better than some copied farms by other TH-camrs getting more views from it. Thank you
Hi Hamsteriges! This comment made my day! Thank you!
Holy cow, this is what I’ve been needing. All my farms are made with the cheapest materials I can do because I’m solo and don’t need to make massive farms like Scicraft because I just need a few doubles chests total.
Just built this in 1.18.2 and it was an easy build and works perfectly. I with with simple extractors for now since only have enough glass for 126 bottles anyway.
Your video voice is fantastic. Both in pacing and resonance.
I added a nighttime sensor to this in the overworld so it would only run when the bees were exiting the hive.
This is so simple and logical, yet I would've never thought of that 😂 Love it!
Just finished building the 64 hive farm and its working great! Thanks!
how much per 1 hour hobey blocks
You simply fail to disappoint it's incredible! Every video contains so much out-of-the-box thinking, it's truly amazing! Keep it up :)
Very nice design.
I built mine as 2 separate pods with 6 hives each, both powered by the same clock. 1 pod is for honey bottles and the other pod is for honeycomb. I built it on a platform above the ground so I could put a small sort system under it to collect the output. The whole thing is about 9 x 7 x 8 blocks tall, including the chests.
I discovered your channel recently and all of these tutorials are fantastic! I love the focus of easy to build yet scary efficient - would love to see your take on a shulker farm!
Shulker farm is up next, in about a week
This channel was the reason i switched to java. Unbelievably efficient and cheap with thorough comprehensive explanations
Wow! flattered. Thank you.
Combined half of cubfan135's automatic honey block contraption to this, which crafts me honey blocks and sends the bottles back to run around in the farm. Only 42 bottles for 36 beehives.
Hi, any chance you have a screenshot or anything of that sort for this? I'd be interested in adding it to my farm.
Every time I come up with what seems to me a simple, effective, and efficient redstone design, there is always someone who has already done one many times better
I didn't expect a bee breeder
This is insane
I did /tick sprint 5d on the litemamtica file and it worked like a charm, so I can confirm it works in 1.20.4
I am in 1.20.4 but the bottles just are sent flying and never land in the hoppers
Once again, very simple and elegant, and has all the feature a honey farm needs. Very genius!
Looking forward to hooking this up with the crafter when 1.21 drops!
With your focus on simplicity and not going overboard, I'd be very interested to see your take on a storage slice/storage hall.
I loved the farm itself, and the breeding setup...
But the best part was how you showed how to quickly catch the bees that leave their nest so that you can get the nest without waiting for the night.
Thank you for showing that. :P (I had a feeling it was that simple...)
Materials list-For those too lazy to just look and find it :)
16 dispensers
10 hoppers
7 repeaters
16 Redstone
5 walls
2 comparaters
1 Redstone torch
And about 30 building blocks just to be safe.
*Btw this list only includes the main part and not the small sorting system. Though if you really need that aswell than just grab a little bit more Redstone dust comparator and another hopper.
thankyou this saved me so much time :)
its actuly 8 droppers and 8 dispensers
could you make one for the 1 chunk honey farm?
@@luckyducky8165 Just multiply all the materials x 8 and then thats what you need
@@RoxlnnBR thanks (I already built the normal one a super long time ago but thank you)
EDIT: It works, just some LWC plugin was interfering with the droppers.
I’m playing on a 1.17.1 server, and I believe I have followed everything correctly. The dropper right above the comparator in the sorting system does not even trigger, only accumulating filled/empty glass bottles.
do you have the redstone torch at 6:55?
@@ianxofour Yes, I do.
@@toenails_sauce2221 whats in the dispenser? can you send me a screenshot of your setup on discord?
@@ianxofour I found the solution just now. It appears that the server I’m playing in is using a plugin called LWC, which protects the contents of containers like chests and dispensers. I just had to type in the right commands to enable each dispenser to retrieve items from the hoppers! Thank you very much though for your prompt replies!
@@toenails_sauce2221 so glad you figured this out!
Alteast someone who understand what simple means.
You can replace the solid wall blocks and the dirt/flower with cherry or flowering azalea leaves and place spore blossoms in the open gap for a bit more efficiency
So far I’ve made the raid farm, gold farm, wither farm, and the trident farm. Guess what I’m doing today
Iron farm
@@HOHo-ws4mq haha
I have watched this two years ago and forgot how to build it, now I'm watching again and it is sad that I cant like it twice
After a bit of tweaking (literally just pushing a hopper minecart into each beehive), I’ve gotten this farm to work on bedrock edition, I don’t know if it’s 100% reliable, but I have yet to see a bee escape. Result seem promising though 😁
Thank you for the report.
Dude u are a legend. Incredible farm good fix and you respond to every comment. I hope u go viral u deserve it mate
Man just got a shoutout from Xisuma!! GG!
You are renovating minecraft with each upload, Ian.
the bottles fly out because the last beehive shouldn't have a repeater if it has a repeater the bottle fall out {the beehive near the comparator shouldn't have a repeater @4:26}
yeah a new upload! this is awesome. i love how simple and easy it is. what a great channel! can't wait for you to blow up
Clicked so fast.
He is so underrated
Commenting in hopes that the algorithm gives you the exposure you deserve. All of your farm tutorials are fantastic.
If you make this farm on a Java edition MP server after 1.18 (or 1.19), it is a good idea to use walls between the single cells as well (between the flowers). This does not seem to impact efficiency, even though the bees get pushed more to the side their center is still on the flower block and they work as normal. Doing this will prevent the rare bug that bees spawn slightly to the side to the front of the hive. If there is a solid block they may take suffocation damage (and eventually die), and if it's a transparent block (ie glass) they may glitch upwards until they leave the farm.
I also built the farm slightly different, to avoid the hives on the side (which would have the bees rarely spawn inside the hive to the side). So I placed 4 on each side and no hives on the short side.
Thanks frnd I'll use walls💙
Fascinating as always, a simple and efficient early game farm to kickstart any kind of project.
You, Shulkercraft and Mystic cat are the best farm creators/tutorial makers there are thanks, man!
FYI, Shulkercraft steals farm designs
@@ItsTank_ I think we can't really say Shulkercraft steal, as they often (if not always) mention & put the link of the creator Name/ TH-cam Channel ...
But ShulkerCraft & Mystic Cat aren't Farm Creators that's for sure, They are only tutorials maker !
(Btw thanks you Ianxofour this is some amazing discovery !)
@@xXKongRiderHacker yes, they add links, but compare the view count Shulkercraft’s videos the to the original creators, they have change due to being called out, but by putting just links in the description is not good enough. Most TH-camrs say when they use a farm design “this farm was made by x and you should go check him/her out and drop them a sub”
I am dumbfounded by the ingenuity of this farm, and the presentation of this tutorial. Bravo!
Finally dude, thank you. I'm gonna be here till ur channel dies... In other words, for eternity 💖
hes channel never gonnaq die bro new update new farm ............ our king always gonna return with his epic vids
Another excellent farm! I just wish it came out before your trident farm. I built the 64 beehive version and in place of the flowers, I used Flowering Azalea leaves, and I also used them for the dividing block between the bee cells so the bees pop out into a 1x1 cell with most having 3 flowering opportunities, and it works great. I also like that with no dirt under the leaves, the farm looks really cool from below. I built it above the Nether roof, and I was going to use a chunk loader, but I AFK’d overnight and I am set for a while!
I can’t wait to see what’s next!
NICE
Could you make a like a schematic with for example litemica?
As of snap shot 24w06a and the hopper "optimization" this is unfortunately 100% broken. all bottles now exit the system onto the ground. Since i have a chunk sized bee farm it makes a mess in very short time. a chunk loader does not help the "glitched out" bottles.
Check out 27W07A, they fixed this issue with hopper of interacting well with hives. If you're playing in snapshots to use the 1.21 experimental stuff, consider playing in 1.20.4. An existing world can be migrated just fine, including turning on experimental features if needed in an existing world, but it took me a google search and reddit post to figure that one out.
You good sir is out of this world. Been holding up to build the signal strength based monster bee farm. Now i dont need to sell my soul to get the bottles. Absolutely brilliant
unlike like most farm tutorials
yours can be made in early game
which is something I appreciate
you got something for a early game guardian, shulker shell or enderman farm?
Endermen farms are actually super easy. Check out logical geek boys wither rose farm. Just build it in the void and without any of the bottom bits. You need a little over 1000 blocks, a fair bit of carpet/leaves for the void bridge, a few stacks of ender pearls, a minecart and a few rails, 2 trapdoors, 1 iron bar, and 1 nametag. I recommend bringing extra nametags and ender pearls if possible because endermites are a pain.
those farm are generaly mid game farm
Thank you so much for this video. I've watched several "Bee" videos and they are all so complicated and convoluted. This is simple. Thank you.
Amazing. I came here from Xisuma.
i can't believe how simple and elegant this design is.... absolutely crazy.
(Edit) This solution is flawed, please see my comment below (end edit)
If you want honeycombs instead of honey bottles, I suggest to reconfigure the desired amount of beehives by filling the dispenser with shears and having the dropper at the bottom point sideways towards the next hopper. This allows you to easily set the number of beehives producing honeycombs.
If you add shears to the some dispensers, these will fill up with empty bottles because the dispenser without shears will always pass bottles. You can add shears equally to all dispensers of course, but then the math for the ratio of honeycombs to honey bottles becomes complicated (as it depends on the number of empty bottles circulating).
great comment! saw your upgrade to the wither skel farm. youre doing great stuff
Thank you! I was just wondering this and your comment was just what I needed to know! It does seem like honeycomb occasionally pops up on top of the nest instead of being harvested through the dropper/hopper system with the dropper pointing sideways however. The only other design change I made was with the use of flowering azalea leaves in place of where the flower goes as well as for the spacing in between bee hive slots where the smooth stone would have gone.
@@aerodin7853 Yes, I'm seeing the same thing. I believe the best way is to separate the beehives where the bottles circulate from the beehives that you use to get honeycomb. I showcase the (hopefully better) solution here in my video: th-cam.com/video/Q1e3xT1xJ0M/w-d-xo.html
Actually... The solution I sketched is flawed, because the hopper seems to be in cooldown sometimes when it should pick up honeycomb.
I showcase the (hopefully better) solution here in my video: th-cam.com/video/Q1e3xT1xJ0M/w-d-xo.html
This works for 1.21.1.
Two thumbs up.
There are huge builds, complex builds, but nothing portrays elegance as this does.
I added the new autocrafter to make honey block and the empty bottle is fed back to the loop, making it totally self-sustainable build & forget farm.
Can you show how you did the autocrafter?
@@sheekshow
I added 1 wide autocrafter from here.
OMGcraft
"3 Minecraft auto crafter builds from basic to pro in Minecraft 1.21"
why are the empty bottles just flying out of the dispensers?
works very well altough i have sometimes a few items dropped out the system, its far more convenient then farms that need to fill dispenser with thousand bottles, excellent work once more :)
Just to save someone else some time this doesn't work in bedrock the bottles pop out of the side of the bee nest
Ah bedrock, the weirdest wackiest redstone version.
happens on Java too just when in a different dimension
I've been scratching my head when I'm trading glass for crafting thousands of bottle from villager and was thinking want to do the recycling bottle thing like what Xisuma done in S7, and this pop out, really mad lad respect ur video, very helpful my friend
your tutorials are always my favorite :]. I've been learning technical MC stuff a lot in the past year but i never got to honey farms until a while ago where I watched ilmango's vid on it. This video introduced a really nice concept that makes it a lot more doable in an early game setting, and easier to manage. Thanks for this vid dude :]
Apparently I came to youtube at just the right time to look up honey farm tutorials. Nothing I've seen before seemed worth the bother, but this is just so simple I can't refuse it. I even came back here because I built my second version of this farm on a paper server and the baby bees popped out of the farm, and what do you know it's addressed in the description!
Just found your channel today and your minecraft videos are great! The detailed explanation for the mechanics of each build is such a good choice. Most of MC tutorials don't explain how to farm works and as such are hard to make your own improvements upon! Please keep making more of these videos!
I had a lot of trouble with the glass bottle, but this farm solved all those problems
Nice farm!
I forgot I had this video on a different tab and it started playing automatically. I heard noises of someone walking around and placing blocks but I thought it was coming from my game. Once Ian started speaking I had the biggest heart attack. Good farm though.
my favourite bee breeder is taking over a villagers house and putting dirt floor and flowers, use the walls to place a handfull of hives to get a good amount to start breeding, when nigthfall comes place empty hives for the baybees to go to sleep
for people having bottle spit out on loggin in on servers, now in 1.21.2+ (pearls disappear and reappear in the world when you are not online or you are online) you can hook a pearl stasis chamber to the block where the lever is, detecting the pearl in stasis with a tripwire hook, inverting the signal. So when you're online the machine is on, when you go offline it turns off.
I decided on a 14 hive one to test it just with honey, works great, I setup mine near my mob farm in the overworld, so have setup a light sensor to turn it off at night when the bee's sleep, I just put 1 redstone down where you put the lever for on/off, then a inverted sensor after that, then a block ontop the block where you placed the lever in your vid and put lever on that 2nd block instead for an additional switch (besides being able to rightclick the sensor and invert the signal).
Built a 32 core version in the end. Works like a charm.
Thank you.
this farm is so efficient that by the time I built the filter, an auto-crafter and a storage I had already enough honey I needed :-D Confirmed working in 1.21.3
I just built this farm AND two of your iron farms. Your designs are awesome. Keep it up!
Full of background relevant alternative information, great videoing and a really good controlled voice over. Thanks Ian, only just found your channel but I can see it's one of the best, if not THE best tutorial channel around.
As always, a compact, simple to build farm, easily expanded. Thanks again for the excellent work.
FYI I just built you’re raid farm and dang, it was easy, cheap and effective
