If you are building this on 1.16, switch the pressure plates to buttons or signs. The items now get stuck on pressure plates, but not in buttons/signs.
This works great! A couple of tips for others to improve the farm to near zero loss and general efficiency. 1) Use single track hopper minecarts for the entire farm. Having them on alternating sides means no repeaters. - I found about 20-40% of the bamboo was being left on the ground as the hopper minecarts didn't have enough space. (and my testing farm was half the size of the videos) - This makes the farm way more expensive (more than doubling the amount of iron needed) 2) Having the hopper minecarts stop on blocks with hopper minecarts in them, dramatically decreases the unload time of collection. - This makes the farm way more expensive (more than doubling the amount of iron needed, again), and one block taller. 3) It can be shortened to 9 blocks wide, and not need the glass blocks on the edges if you take an output from the machine leaving or whatever clock you have it on, instead of using the observers to "see" it pass. P.S. make sure the blocks at the height of the farm are leaves or similar, otherwise it'll break. - No real advantage to this, other than fitting it in a smaller area, or making it more pleasing on the eye. 4) It takes a piece of bamboo about 3 minutes go grow by one (at RTS: 1). Resulting in 30-45 mins for full growth. If you want a clock, that's about 5 cycles of a 256 item hopper clock. Otherwise you can set up a couple of despawn timers one after the other, might be easier to sort out. 5) Don't have random tick speed to high, if a bamboo grows in between the flying machine can break.
@YggdrasilAE simply because if you have one cart per track, then there's almost no chance that they are going to overfill. With one cart for two lines in my experience it led to a slight loss. Having said that, if you want to save on iron and redstone, this loss isn't something that is going to ruin the farm, it was 5-15% if I remember correctly, but with the quantity of bamboo the farm produces, unless you have furnaces running 24/7, it should be more than enough.
@danielfitzgerald8514 why would you.. bamboo doesn't grow faster if it gets taller. There's no harm in harvesting every 5 minutes or so. Harvesting sooner also means you don't overflow your hoppers. I don't really understand why people want to grow them to full height? A harvest doesn't actually cost anything.
My God, it took me like 3 days to build this from scratch in my survival world, such a grind but now I have a ridiculously large amount of bamboo, great tutorial
I made this farm in a bedrock realm and i have had multiple crashes within the self-efficient cutter every other time i activated it and it crashes mid-way through or around the start of activating it. I understand that it is most likely to work even today with less flaws on a singer player save, but it is so frustrating that I've wasted my time researching and building this
My school account i totally use for school - This is the exact reason I turned this video on. I have one set up now, but it’s cumbersome and ugly, and no flying machines
I just built a nice blaze farm for the same reason. I wonder which gets you more fuel per hour? Blaze rods fuel 48 times more operations per drop, but this thing has far higher yields.
Just built! Works great! Unless I built it wrong, the observer to trigger the collection at the end only triggers once. I copied it to the starting end and ran a redstone line to connect to the other side in order to get three triggers (1 when it leaves, 2 when it hits halfway, and 3 when it returns). Definitely helping with the return rate! Thank you for this!
Thinking maybe you might have a repeater set wrong because the return is immediate for me. I’ve never done flying machines with terracotta so I was sure to build it the exact way silent did, works great

If you are still using this design like I am, there is a small but fixable flaw in it. If you are running it and it suddenly stops and you have to go in and get it started again, remove three rows of bamboo from where the observers are. Whats happening is that the bamboo may suddenly grow up in front of the observer while it is moving away or towards it causing a change in block status that basically turns off the flying machine. Its not much to lose over all, but it will prevent the flying machine "getting stuck" or "stopped randomly".
@@RustSplash if it does stop working, then go to the where the observer is and place a dirt block and activate it again. If it only moves one, then try the other side. You have to stay nearby when it’s working or it will stop working. Try not to make it too big where it goes into unloaded chunks.
I’ve watched so many tutorials and I even struggled with this one but that’s only because I placed one of the observers wrong but this was the only one that worked. I didn’t think it would because the video was made 5 years ago but it does and I’m happy to have it in my world

Still works, very nice flying machine! FYI if you make this smallish, and use the Ethoclock to AFK harvest, then Silent's minecart system is probably overkill. I made mine chunk aligned and only two chunks long such that the flying machine never leaves the two chunks (i.e. the two leaf platforms are inside the chunks too). My Ethoclock has 5 full stacks, but the bamboo only grows about 2-3 tall before the flying machine fires. So, one single minecart looping around under the whole thing only really ever half fills on a harvest. You could probably make this four chunks long and one minecart would still be adequate before bamboo despawned. Having one unloading station saves some resources and build complexity. However, if you harvest with a button rather than a clock, then you'll want Silent's minecart system because the bamboo will be very tall creating A LOT of drops!
i like using a day/night sensor and a redstone lamp to set a clock for this farm. i find the time it takes for a day to go by the bambo has gotten to a really good hight.
After 2 years of playing Minecraft in Bedrock while getting my redstone from youtubers who play Minecraft in Java version... i think it's safe to say I'm going to be subscribed to this channel now.
"There's an ingredient list in the description..." cool, gonna need a few dispensers, ok I'll just craft a bunch of those then. "Place a dropper..." GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@redyr4744 You're missing the point, it's annoying as hell crafting that many dispensers (on PS4 especially) if you can just get the same job done with droppers.
Thanks for the idea and demonstration! I just made a small version of this, worked perfectly. By small I mean the bamboo growing area is just 13x3x16 (minus the area to put in the machinery to get the flying machine working), chunk-aligned. This way I can add a small circuit to set the flying machine in perpetual motion. Because the growing area is so short, I can add enough glowing pumpkins right above the growing area so that the bamboo grows 24x7. As there is no sudden surge of harvested bamboo, I just have a row of hoppers sending the harvested bamboo in the minecarts to a collection area (for me it is a dropper that fires whenever it is non-empty, with a guiding pillar dropping it to the fuel input of a furnace through a double chest). It is not impressively fast, something like a bamboo every 2 seconds on average. But because there is no need to switch anything off any time, it is very useful. You just do whatever you want in your area be it mining, farming or building, and after an hour or so when you come back you have more than 1k new bamboo waiting for you. For those wondering, yes it is in 1.17. By the way, the farm shown in the video needs chunk alignment, for the rails. Otherwise the minecarts can stop in the middle as you wander around loading and unloading the chunk, which is really painful to fix.
@@justinparry5197 Kinda yes. They extend from the walls and are right above the flying machine. But it is not a complete roof, I only have one row of roof every three row of space, and only have 4 pumpkins for each row (the remainder are some kind of stone). This way if the flying machine stops in the middle (yes that happens, but not frequently) you can walk above it and fix things by manually triggering the observers of the flying machine.
@@isaaclearningtominecraft4751 let's be honest, you would turn off the machine anyway , because leaving the chunk it's in will break the flying machine and rails . So no need for chunk alignment if you just turn off the farm when you leave the area.
@@ammarahmed219 I really let it run continuously. The rail poses no problem due to chunk alignment, the flying machine sometimes stops when I come back and I'll place a torch above an observer facing upwards and get it moving again. No other issue.
Finished a 10 long mini-version for our Realm this evening and really chuffed with how well it's working :) It's right near our central spawn area and where one of our members has built a huge castle so I'm hoping it'll be running the whole time they're on working on that ;P Thanks again for an excellent tutorial, think it's a bee farm next post-Nether update so I can hopefully take advantage of having beehives spawn on planted trees instead of trying to find them naturally generated.
On my X-Box One-S (bedrock 1.16.201) just built the flying machine and the bamboo (need to auto-smelt a chest of glass for the walls and mine for iron for rails). Test flew the flying machine and it worked perfectly! Just remember to put the start button on that one block! Thank You Silent!
@@mikemally1295 I’m on IOS and it worked spot on first time so it should work on PS5. The flying machine is a bit laggy and half of the machine appears to be left behind but it sorts itself out. I’ve run it about 7 times and no issues.
@@ld_raine4247 the water stream continues to a bubble elevator, up into a house then it used to flow over 2 hoppers at the top of 4 double chests. It would back up a bit on the end hopper so I added 2 more hoppers into a square shape with a glass pane in the furthest corner hopper. This makes the water flow into 2 corners rather than one. I’d post a screenshot but I’m 11k blocks from it at the moment
Lot of people in the comments saying this doesn’t work. It absolutely does, just built it recently for the first time. It’s a little tough to put together, things will likely break along the way if you’re not really careful, but if you follow silent’s steps exactly you’ll get there. And keep trying. You’ll learn from your mistakes. Couple tips for beginners like me. 1) Don’t forget to replace the solid block on top of the observer after you put together the hopper timer. 2) The machine is designed to work with a delay due to the hopper timer, so wait for the items in the hoppers to go fully back and forth a couple times before you declare the machine broken. 3) If you use the minimum number of power rails then beware wild animals and wandering merchants can come along and push your mine carts under the bamboo, where they can get stuck, which is annoying. So try to cover everything up with glass or leaves early if you can so nothing can get at the minecarts. 4) Use power rails at the end of every track, not just over the hoppers, so the carts will be sent back to the hopper side when the red stone powers up. 5) For the last track (the one that’s a single row) put a power rail with a red stone torch next to it at the far end opposite from the hopper, so that the mine cart will return to the hopper when it hits the block. 6) If you get things working, turn off the farm every time you leave the area. I left it on and when I came back the machine was broken (though it only took a couple minutes to fix). Thanks for the excellent tutorial Silent. I used this farm to create enough bamboo buttons to put together your creeper farm, which is also excellent. I have more fireworks, tnt, and scaffolding than I know what to do with, and I’m over level 200, thanks to you!
Commenting in March of 2020, can confirm this still works. Thanks to the fact that Bedrock Edition allows minecarts to travel under water, I have adapted this to both a sugar cane farm AND a bamboo farm.
Omg thank you I had a lot of materials to do nothing about but no coal so I looked up bamboo farms and I had struggles along the way but hey it works I’m definitely dropping a like and sub
I do have a problem now it works but the returning system messes up I’m on Xbox but it hits the obsidian and then the observer detects but the piston won’t go off do you have any idea
Never mined it works just replace the block behind the observer with red stone and the it works and make the red stone lead in the repeater and put the repeater on 4 ticks thanks
Another tough one, Silent! Those flying machines are intricate and cumbersome especially when predicting where they will end up on the other end of a field. BUT when a single haul is measured in the thousands, it is so worth it!
so i am prepping for the 1.20 update and im like ok i need a real bamboo farm now. I watched this video like 20 times because i was all messed up when you added the extra space for the minecart launchers. I almost pooped myself when it worked. awesome build. a little confusing for us non linear thinkers. but i love that you do so much bedrock stuff. appreciate it
Still works great. Built one by an 1.18 ore vein in a badlands biome, so I can smelt my 1000+ iron ores and all the gold. It was smelting it’s glass while I was finishing it. 😀
You know, the hardest thing to do wasn't actually the farm, it was placing the rails so that they would face the right way and not connect to each other
Just built the farm ran into a few issues. Then once I made all the bamboo at least 2 tall the first time it worked only to find out I have way too many of your wonderful farms in the area. So now I have to move it lol. Lag + flying machine = problems. Keep up the good work.
I built this in my Survival world, but couple blocks smaller. It was tough job to get materials and to build as I needed to pause pretty usually. But I am happy that this works! So far I have got around 8 stacks, which is better than the farms I normally build, so I am satisfied. (Also PieIsTheBest, I always read the description for material list)
Thank you so much for this video!!! I have seen many farms involving bamboo, and I wanted to make one, but the flying machines never worked because they were for Java edition, so thank you so much!!! This is the coolest thing ever!
Awesome flying machine design, pro tip: if you wanna automate this place an observer where one of the solid blocks on the flying machine will connect to when it goes back, and connect this to a repeater timer that loops back to start the machine again
As of 1.19 The flying machine has stopped working and after testing a believe the cut bamboo underneath the flying machine wants to stick to the slime and adds to the piston block pushing count and exceeds it. Edit: The ungrown bamboo sticks to the underside of the slime blocks, not the cut bamboo. Bone meal any ungrown bamboo to fix
Hmm, about to trial this build. I have not worked with flying machines yet. One experiment to try is lift the machine a block and put slabs or something on the bottom.
This was awesome! Worked for me when none of the other farms worked. Def recommend it to other people and it might take a while to build and gather the materials but it works really well
You should make a sugarcane farm and bamboo farm mashup with 2 lanes and 2 flying machine where 1 lane harvests sugarcane and another lane harvests bamboo with redstone, and anyways keep up the good redstone builds.
How can I stop the powered rails from connecting when I don’t want them to. Every time I try to place the returning power rail it connects to the rail on top of the hopper.
Figured it out. You have to place a block extending one out from the hopper, and place a rail on it. Then place the rail next to the one where the block is raised that’s supposed to stop the minecart. Then delete the block that the extra rail was on there you go
@@GamerAxolotlALT Mechanically, how does it fly backwards? Sticky pistons only push glazed terracotta. There's nothing to make it go backwards or stop clocking.
Puts a materials list in the description that isn't even close to accurate, and then marks out build boundaries and builds leaves four blocks over them. The builds are great but the tutorials are so frustrating.
I am very like redstone,but when you do like this and you put rail at the wrong side and you must break all of the redstone it was very tired (Ps:at survival mode)
13:33 That moment.. when the machine looks odd.. so you so turn it on.. forget that you haven't actually build a a return station or anything at all to stop it...
Works great on 16.5! just make sure you replace the pressure plates with signs in the water path way. and make sure you follow every step exactly. I made it one block shorter by accident it was stuck for an hour trying to figure out why it wouldn't work. I went back and looked and saw that the block layer was a little bit short so I added an extra layer into it worked! Thank you to much
I would advise anyone building this now to use *crafters* instead of droppers/dispensers. Also, at your desired height, add an observer facing into the farm so that when it reaches max height your farm will automatically harvest. Cheers
You can also set up a double crafter system that runs off an observer output gained by a little observer chain from the original observer to transfer them straight into planks for optimal fuel.
This is probably your oldest video I've seen and my goodness man your voice is super different! It's cool to go back and see a youtubers old videos. Like ethoslab is a different guy nowadays haha.
I’m having an issue with the flying machine where it gets stuck at the launch station and won’t move forward even if the observers are updated. I end up having to rebuild the flying machine every few days as this is the only fix I have. Is anyone else having this issue?
For anyone wondering if this works is 1.17. Yes it does i just made it in my world and just had to make some slight adjustments in order to make the returning machine work
@@kiyanpancholi7155 this is going to be hard to describe but il try my best. so basically for the flying machine on the left side I dont know if I made the farm to long but I had to make the slime blocks 7 blocks long on both sides. And for the returning system I had to line up the obsidian at the end with the front observers so it will actually send it back. And I had trouble getting the powerded rails to stay straight. It's gonna be a little hard to describe this part but when ur placing the rail normally doing the loop and u gwt back to the other end go back 1 blocks break the powerded rail on top of the hopper place, 1 powerded rail on where ur standing and infront of u then place the powerded rail back on the hoppeer. I know it was long but hopes this help and was easy to understand
tl,dr: about 95k bamboo in 20hours afk (~4.5k per hour) alright alright i finished building this thing yesterday. btw you can plant bamboo on mud blocks and simply put hoppers under the mud. that way you dont need any of the rails or hopperminecarts. basically build one layer of just hoppers, then one layer of mud on top. thats it. (items that are dropped on mud get picked up by the hopper) i noticed that the bamboo takes about an hour to grow really tall. about to the limit (i think bamboo is 12-16 blocks) i hooked the flying machine up to a hopper clock that triggers it every hour. after one night and a normsl workday i just came back to exactly a full double chest of shulkerboxes of bamboo. thats 93.312 bamboo if my math is correct. thats INSANE. lol. absolutely worth building. only thing that gave me some struggles was the flying machine. it was my first one so maybe me being a noob was the problem. it broke a couple.of times because i messed up the timing of my hopper clock. when you send it flying with just a button like in the video everything should be fine.
If anyone's return machine for the flying machine isn't working, make sure that the solid blocks you are using aren't glass. If you look it up it says that glass is a solid block but for some reason it does not work when building the return machine.
Make sure to turn the machine off when you are going to leave the area, i left mine on and it messed with the moving part and kept it still in the middle and i had to rebuild it.
I build this farm on 17/04/2023 on minecraft bedrock 1.19.60 and it works. But make sure the slimes arent touching any leaves or just blocks. So make it so that the flying machine is floating in the air. Also when the machine suddenly stops its because the bamboo grows right in between the terracota and the sticky piston when the flying machine flys past. Just place a redstone block on the furthest observer and it works again.
Do the same exact thing but add water for the sugar cane every where needed and the rails go where there is no water, add leaves over the top of the water.
i gotta say i was concerned i got about 3/4 done and read all the recent comments and they all said it wasnt working cuz bamboo was getting stuck i've only been running it for about 30 min now but it's running fine i followed everything he did down to the T even used smooth stone and it's working for me i will post again if it ends up getting stuck but for now it's running as it should for me so thanks alot silentwisperer i appreciate it

Thanks, I need this to craft scaffolding blocks for your other raid farm! You channel is super useful every since minecraft PS4 switched to bedrock.
i like using a day/night sensor and a redstone lamp to set a clock for this farm. i find the time it takes for a day to go by the bambo has gotten to a really good hight.
After 2 years of playing Minecraft in Bedrock while getting my redstone from youtubers who play Minecraft in Java version... i think it's safe to say I'm going to be subscribed to this channel now.
"There's an ingredient list in the description..." cool, gonna need a few dispensers, ok I'll just craft a bunch of those then. "Place a dropper..." GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you need droppers instead?
@@giuliocusenza5204 cheers Captain Obvious.
@@Arkesus it isn't obvious if you need droppers instead of dispensers everywhere or if only in some cases, that's why I asked, Captain Hilarious.
Dispensers work too lol 😂
@@redyr4744 You're missing the point, it's annoying as hell crafting that many dispensers (on PS4 especially) if you can just get the same job done with droppers.
Thanks for the idea and demonstration! I just made a small version of this, worked perfectly. By small I mean the bamboo growing area is just 13x3x16 (minus the area to put in the machinery to get the flying machine working), chunk-aligned. This way I can add a small circuit to set the flying machine in perpetual motion. Because the growing area is so short, I can add enough glowing pumpkins right above the growing area so that the bamboo grows 24x7. As there is no sudden surge of harvested bamboo, I just have a row of hoppers sending the harvested bamboo in the minecarts to a collection area (for me it is a dropper that fires whenever it is non-empty, with a guiding pillar dropping it to the fuel input of a furnace through a double chest). It is not impressively fast, something like a bamboo every 2 seconds on average. But because there is no need to switch anything off any time, it is very useful. You just do whatever you want in your area be it mining, farming or building, and after an hour or so when you come back you have more than 1k new bamboo waiting for you.
For those wondering, yes it is in 1.17.
By the way, the farm shown in the video needs chunk alignment, for the rails. Otherwise the minecarts can stop in the middle as you wander around loading and unloading the chunk, which is really painful to fix.
I’m curious about your design specifically the lighting. Are the pumpkins the roof of your farm?
@@justinparry5197 Kinda yes. They extend from the walls and are right above the flying machine. But it is not a complete roof, I only have one row of roof every three row of space, and only have 4 pumpkins for each row (the remainder are some kind of stone). This way if the flying machine stops in the middle (yes that happens, but not frequently) you can walk above it and fix things by manually triggering the observers of the flying machine.
@@isaaclearningtominecraft4751 let's be honest, you would turn off the machine anyway , because leaving the chunk it's in will break the flying machine and rails . So no need for chunk alignment if you just turn off the farm when you leave the area.
@@ammarahmed219 I really let it run continuously. The rail poses no problem due to chunk alignment, the flying machine sometimes stops when I come back and I'll place a torch above an observer facing upwards and get it moving again. No other issue.
Can it be 2 chunks long chunk aligned?
One of the great things about this farm and the kelp farm is you can set them both up so you can have an XP furnace bank
Finished a 10 long mini-version for our Realm this evening and really chuffed with how well it's working :) It's right near our central spawn area and where one of our members has built a huge castle so I'm hoping it'll be running the whole time they're on working on that ;P
Thanks again for an excellent tutorial, think it's a bee farm next post-Nether update so I can hopefully take advantage of having beehives spawn on planted trees instead of trying to find them naturally generated.
On my X-Box One-S (bedrock 1.16.201) just built the flying machine and the bamboo (need to auto-smelt a chest of glass for the walls and mine for iron for rails).
Test flew the flying machine and it worked perfectly! Just remember to put the start button on that one block!
Thank You Silent!
You don't need the start button, that's what the hopper clock is for.
Finally, The two way flying machine I have been looking for
Epic video, as a fellow bedrock TH-camr this video was made super well and im very impressed in the flying machine, much love
Just built this farm in 1.20 and it works like a champ. Thank you💪🏻
Do you know if this works on 1.20 ps5 bedrock? My flying machine keeps breaking
@smilerme
@@mikemally1295 I’m on IOS and it worked spot on first time so it should work on PS5. The flying machine is a bit laggy and half of the machine appears to be left behind but it sorts itself out. I’ve run it about 7 times and no issues.
How do you handle moving these to storage?
@@ld_raine4247 the water stream continues to a bubble elevator, up into a house then it used to flow over 2 hoppers at the top of 4 double chests. It would back up a bit on the end hopper so I added 2 more hoppers into a square shape with a glass pane in the furthest corner hopper. This makes the water flow into 2 corners rather than one. I’d post a screenshot but I’m 11k blocks from it at the moment
Lot of people in the comments saying this doesn’t work. It absolutely does, just built it recently for the first time. It’s a little tough to put together, things will likely break along the way if you’re not really careful, but if you follow silent’s steps exactly you’ll get there. And keep trying. You’ll learn from your mistakes.
Couple tips for beginners like me. 1) Don’t forget to replace the solid block on top of the observer after you put together the hopper timer. 2) The machine is designed to work with a delay due to the hopper timer, so wait for the items in the hoppers to go fully back and forth a couple times before you declare the machine broken. 3) If you use the minimum number of power rails then beware wild animals and wandering merchants can come along and push your mine carts under the bamboo, where they can get stuck, which is annoying. So try to cover everything up with glass or leaves early if you can so nothing can get at the minecarts. 4) Use power rails at the end of every track, not just over the hoppers, so the carts will be sent back to the hopper side when the red stone powers up. 5) For the last track (the one that’s a single row) put a power rail with a red stone torch next to it at the far end opposite from the hopper, so that the mine cart will return to the hopper when it hits the block. 6) If you get things working, turn off the farm every time you leave the area. I left it on and when I came back the machine was broken (though it only took a couple minutes to fix).
Thanks for the excellent tutorial Silent. I used this farm to create enough bamboo buttons to put together your creeper farm, which is also excellent. I have more fireworks, tnt, and scaffolding than I know what to do with, and I’m over level 200, thanks to you!
Thanks for a recent reply, been searching for one!
This is gonna be super useful especially after 1.20 and also as of 1.21 you can use crafters to compact the bamboo into bamboo blocks
Tip: make sure that when you put the leaves it replaces the glass not goes infront of it
Commenting in March of 2020, can confirm this still works.
Thanks to the fact that Bedrock Edition allows minecarts to travel under water, I have adapted this to both a sugar cane farm AND a bamboo farm.
You can also waterlog stairs so the minecart doesn’t need to go underwater
Is it working in 1.14 MCPE?
@@Nogitsune1 yes
bro thank you so much ive been looking for ages to find a flying machine that worked on bedrock edition.
12:10 start of flying machine if thats all you needed
12:09 is the flying machine
Pls make a 2x2 vertical two way flying machine. Also if possible, make a realistic elevator with it
Thats not posibble it would have to be 2 by 3 or more
Oh do you mean the height is 2 or ?
Yea, I was tryna do this but couldn’t figure out for Bedrock edition
probaby not possible sadly
Omg thank you I had a lot of materials to do nothing about but no coal so I looked up bamboo farms and I had struggles along the way but hey it works I’m definitely dropping a like and sub
Glad i can help out! :D Welcome to the silence!
I do have a problem now it works but the returning system messes up I’m on Xbox but it hits the obsidian and then the observer detects but the piston won’t go off do you have any idea
Never mined it works just replace the block behind the observer with red stone and the it works and make the red stone lead in the repeater and put the repeater on 4 ticks thanks
They must have slowed the growth rate i had to link 5 full hopper clocks to get a full harvest
Oh yes! It actually worked! You can build so much automatic farms with this flying machine, and now i know how it works! Thank you very much!
I just hava a question for you how did you get the powered rails in the begging by the hopper to stay strait they won't stay straight
I just moved the farm😅 a lot of work i know
Just check if your rails is in the right position and than make the farm
@@poepchinees1250 I figured it out thanks and I can confirm this works in 1.17
Another tough one, Silent! Those flying machines are intricate and cumbersome especially when predicting where they will end up on the other end of a field. BUT when a single haul is measured in the thousands, it is so worth it!
Great farm! I replaced the automatic dropper system with hoppers and storage chests for each module except for 1, which feeds to my main storage.
Thanks for being an awesome Minecraft youtuber!
You are the best bedrock edition TH-camd I’ve found, I really found it hard for farms and exp until I found this channel
Good job! Love the videos
Always happy to help out 😊💙
so i am prepping for the 1.20 update and im like ok i need a real bamboo farm now. I watched this video like 20 times because i was all messed up when you added the extra space for the minecart launchers. I almost pooped myself when it worked. awesome build. a little confusing for us non linear thinkers. but i love that you do so much bedrock stuff. appreciate it
AMAZING SWEEPER DESIGN!!! Worked like a charm! First one I've seen that's bedrock compatible.
bro this guy deserves way more subs than just 52k
Still works great. Built one by an 1.18 ore vein in a badlands biome, so I can smelt my 1000+ iron ores and all the gold. It was smelting it’s glass while I was finishing it. 😀
Eh was there any changes you made to the build in this video to make it work?
You know, the hardest thing to do wasn't actually the farm, it was placing the rails so that they would face the right way and not connect to each other
I rage quit my game the other night because of this
@@hfoxz2576 lol , same , I hate when that is happen
i got to thank you for this. the railway system was hard to make but then all was good. the farm works great!
@Dat Kiddo how did you do the minecart part? Mine keep connecting on the ends
Just built the farm ran into a few issues. Then once I made all the bamboo at least 2 tall the first time it worked only to find out I have way too many of your wonderful farms in the area. So now I have to move it lol. Lag + flying machine = problems. Keep up the good work.
Did your flying machine get stuck on bamboo and if it did, how did you fix it?
I built this in my Survival world, but couple blocks smaller. It was tough job to get materials and to build as I needed to pause pretty usually. But I am happy that this works! So far I have got around 8 stacks, which is better than the farms I normally build, so I am satisfied. (Also PieIsTheBest, I always read the description for material list)
the flying machine part is still working as of 1.16.40. fantastic design.
Great! I was wondering if it still works.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I have seen many farms involving bamboo, and I wanted to make one, but the flying machines never worked because they were for Java edition, so thank you so much!!! This is the coolest thing ever!
This don’t work for PS4?
@@ethandelacruz3009 it does
Liked, subbed, rang bell and watched whole commercials. Great video and nice to see you read and responded to a ton of questions:)
Awesome flying machine design, pro tip: if you wanna automate this place an observer where one of the solid blocks on the flying machine will connect to when it goes back, and connect this to a repeater timer that loops back to start the machine again
As of 1.19 The flying machine has stopped working and after testing a believe the cut bamboo underneath the flying machine wants to stick to the slime and adds to the piston block pushing count and exceeds it.
Edit: The ungrown bamboo sticks to the underside of the slime blocks, not the cut bamboo. Bone meal any ungrown bamboo to fix
doing God's work
Hmm, about to trial this build. I have not worked with flying machines yet. One experiment to try is lift the machine a block and put slabs or something on the bottom.
@@danieln.7625nah he isn’t it works really well
Love this design, it certainly beats my dual observer and piston farm.
Do you have to use the slim blocks in his farm or just solid blocks
@@JakeBSmith slime
This version of the flying machine still works in 1.12 incase anyone was wondering.
Thanks
thank you
Do you know it the blocks on the pistons have to be slime?
in 1.12.1 mobile any flying machine wont work hmmph
It doesn't work on 1.12 for me I WASTED SO MANY RESOURCES cri
This was awesome! Worked for me when none of the other farms worked. Def recommend it to other people and it might take a while to build and gather the materials but it works really well
You should make a sugarcane farm and bamboo farm mashup with 2 lanes and 2 flying machine where 1 lane harvests sugarcane and another lane harvests bamboo with redstone, and anyways keep up the good redstone builds.
How can I stop the powered rails from connecting when I don’t want them to. Every time I try to place the returning power rail it connects to the rail on top of the hopper.
It’s happening to me can’t seem to fix it at all
Figured it out. You have to place a block extending one out from the hopper, and place a rail on it. Then place the rail next to the one where the block is raised that’s supposed to stop the minecart. Then delete the block that the extra rail was on there you go
@@bradydobson5970yes but then how do you build the second line or them?
I built this Farm in Minecraft 1.20 and it still works.
Thanks!🤌
I can only get it to fly in one direction.
@@RK-ck6pl Well you must have done something wrong or you are in Java Edition.
@@GamerAxolotlALT Mechanically, how does it fly backwards? Sticky pistons only push glazed terracotta. There's nothing to make it go backwards or stop clocking.
@@RK-ck6pl Are you trying to build this in Minecraft Java Edition?
Puts a materials list in the description that isn't even close to accurate, and then marks out build boundaries and builds leaves four blocks over them. The builds are great but the tutorials are so frustrating.
Thank you. All of the tutorials that you have given have been perfectly functional and efficient. I know this one is no different. So thanks.
Edit: it didn’t. Flying machine failure.
Props out to the creator of this sweeper engine, this opens up a lot of farms to build with this engine
Just realized, the observer on the piston are unnecessary, any block would do just fine, it's only a suggestion to save resources
Souless Phoenix was thinking that aswell
It used as a redstone clock
If u use other block it won't create oscillating redstone signal
This is a good design, but you need to slow down a bit, and stop flipping your camera around every two frames.
You can turn down the video speed in the options. If you don’t know how to do that, just check on youtube. Really helps while building farms.
I am very like redstone,but when you do like this and you put rail at the wrong side and you must break all of the redstone it was very tired
(Ps:at survival mode)
Good English you speak
I did this farm and built 3 if them on top of another and 150 blocks long and my loot for a full harvest( not 1hr) was about 2000 bamboo insane farm.
13:33 That moment.. when the machine looks odd.. so you so turn it on.. forget that you haven't actually build a a return station or anything at all to stop it...
thats happened to me too haha 😂
Everyone watching this after bamboo wood is added:
👁️ 👄 👁️
Works perfectly bedrock 1.20
Thx
Built this in my survival realm. And connected the output to my 16 furnace supersmelter. Let's goo, unlimited fuel for my friends and I. Aha
i built this and connected it to my 64 furnace supersmelter. Absolutely insane.
Works great on 16.5! just make sure you replace the pressure plates with signs in the water path way. and make sure you follow every step exactly. I made it one block shorter by accident it was stuck for an hour trying to figure out why it wouldn't work. I went back and looked and saw that the block layer was a little bit short so I added an extra layer into it worked! Thank you to much
I would advise anyone building this now to use *crafters* instead of droppers/dispensers. Also, at your desired height, add an observer facing into the farm so that when it reaches max height your farm will automatically harvest. Cheers
You can also set up a double crafter system that runs off an observer output gained by a little observer chain from the original observer to transfer them straight into planks for optimal fuel.
It was working at first, but it keeps breaking. I'm on latest version on realms.
I totally didn't come here just for the flying machine.
Totally
Ur a villain so i believe you
Cant figure out the red stone clock it just keeps the items in 1 hopper after a while and prevents it from going further
This farm is amazing! Thank you Silent!
This is probably your oldest video I've seen and my goodness man your voice is super different! It's cool to go back and see a youtubers old videos. Like ethoslab is a different guy nowadays haha.
I’m having an issue with the flying machine where it gets stuck at the launch station and won’t move forward even if the observers are updated. I end up having to rebuild the flying machine every few days as this is the only fix I have. Is anyone else having this issue?
How did you start it, i can’t start mine!
For anyone wondering if this works is 1.17. Yes it does i just made it in my world and just had to make some slight adjustments in order to make the returning machine work
Would you mind describing these adjustments please
@@kiyanpancholi7155 this is going to be hard to describe but il try my best. so basically for the flying machine on the left side I dont know if I made the farm to long but I had to make the slime blocks 7 blocks long on both sides. And for the returning system I had to line up the obsidian at the end with the front observers so it will actually send it back. And I had trouble getting the powerded rails to stay straight. It's gonna be a little hard to describe this part but when ur placing the rail normally doing the loop and u gwt back to the other end go back 1 blocks break the powerded rail on top of the hopper place, 1 powerded rail on where ur standing and infront of u then place the powerded rail back on the hoppeer. I know it was long but hopes this help and was easy to understand
tl,dr:
about 95k bamboo in 20hours afk
(~4.5k per hour)
alright alright
i finished building this thing yesterday.
btw you can plant bamboo on mud blocks and simply put hoppers under the mud.
that way you dont need any of the rails or hopperminecarts.
basically build one layer of just hoppers, then one layer of mud on top. thats it. (items that are dropped on mud get picked up by the hopper)
i noticed that the bamboo takes about an hour to grow really tall. about to the limit (i think bamboo is 12-16 blocks)
i hooked the flying machine up to a hopper clock that triggers it every hour.
after one night and a normsl workday i just came back to exactly a full double chest of shulkerboxes of bamboo. thats 93.312 bamboo if my math is correct.
thats INSANE. lol.
absolutely worth building.
only thing that gave me some struggles was the flying machine. it was my first one so maybe me being a noob was the problem.
it broke a couple.of times because i messed up the timing of my hopper clock.
when you send it flying with just a button like in the video everything should be fine.
that is so many hoppers and so expensive/laggy lol, please dont xD
How did you make a hopper clock that triggers every hour?
This is amazing, thanks man but now we have allays this will be an amazing update for this farm
If anyone's return machine for the flying machine isn't working, make sure that the solid blocks you are using aren't glass. If you look it up it says that glass is a solid block but for some reason it does not work when building the return machine.
Can i use different block rather than terra cota block?
yes
Afaik you cant because only glazed terracota cant be pulled by the sticky piston
Still works in 1.20 confirmed. Happy Bamboo farming everybody!
Thank you so much!!
I was checking for this comment.
Make sure to turn the machine off when you are going to leave the area, i left mine on and it messed with the moving part and kept it still in the middle and i had to rebuild it.
It still works and you can easily make adjustments to the flying machine for the width and stuff so it's good
I build this farm on 17/04/2023 on minecraft bedrock 1.19.60 and it works. But make sure the slimes arent touching any leaves or just blocks. So make it so that the flying machine is floating in the air. Also when the machine suddenly stops its because the bamboo grows right in between the terracota and the sticky piston when the flying machine flys past. Just place a redstone block on the furthest observer and it works again.
Can you make a similar sugar cane farm?
Panzer Cztery I think he has
Do the same exact thing but add water for the sugar cane every where needed and the rails go where there is no water, add leaves over the top of the water.
The flying machine still work on 1.13 to 1.14 mcbe if someone wondering.😁
Minecraft Redstone Z Cheers
Anybody else having a hella hard time placing the rails😂
Fr they kept joining sideways it was a pain lol
i gotta say i was concerned i got about 3/4 done and read all the recent comments and they all said it wasnt working cuz bamboo was getting stuck i've only been running it for about 30 min now but it's running fine i followed everything he did down to the T even used smooth stone and it's working for me i will post again if it ends up getting stuck but for now it's running as it should for me so thanks alot silentwisperer i appreciate it
