Automatic Redstone Farm Schematics

These schematics focus on the redstone that automates a farm: the parts that detect growth, harvest, collect and process items without you. Observers are the most common detector, because they emit a short pulse whenever the block in front of them changes, such as a crop growing. That pulse fires pistons, dispensers or a flying machine to harvest, and hoppers or water streams carry the drops to storage. Crafters, added in Java Edition 1.21, let a farm turn its output into finished items automatically.

Farms only run in loaded chunks near the player, so build them within range of where you spend time. Redstone behaves differently in Java and Bedrock Edition, so check the edition and version on the schematic page before you build. For farms grouped by resource, such as iron, gold or XP, see the farm schematics collection.
