Automatic Brown Mushroom Farm 

I love building automatic farms. This is dope. Thanks.

No, it's fun to explore even the tiniest of game mechanics we've taken for granted or forgotten/ignored for years. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, ilmango :).

Passive auto farms are my jam in Minecraft. Yes, if I need some brown mushroom, then I can plant a few, fertilize them, and chop them down. Then, with mushroom in hand, the job is done. But wouldn't it be COOLER if there was a massive tower dedicated to producing brown mushroom all by itself? Even if it took a bit longer to get that initial stack or two of mushroom in return, wouldn't it be COOLER to have double chests full of mushroom at the base of a massive farm? What about this do people not understand? It's cool, and you also just have mushroom for everyone!

I saw a video of someone who said "[…] but this isn't automatic, and I want it automatic", and that was not very long ago, maybe a week

Please fix the litematic on the nether tunnel bore video or provide a world download. It's missing the bottom most layer and doesn't work without it.

Your face is overrun with mushrooms

I always loved this scenario :D quite sad when the limit became so restrictive.

Oh my god the bots think this video is about shrooms 😭

@@thepeanuts55 indeed :( I keep reporting them.

It can still happen occasionally thanks to Endermen, as underneath my base they were establishing their sprawling fungal domain without my knowledge. Then one day I dug into the network and the ruse was up, but I kept it around afterwards just because of how impressively expansive it was and the low odds of it occurring.

Probably true, but likely not worth the effort of two separate signal towers, unless you build it wider as he mentioned, in which case having the two sides desynched could be done for free.

Good idea, but I think @Nevir202 has a point . I think I'll design one with a different Redstone system that uses your alternating idea.

I agree. This could be useful to push the rates, but I would expect that the extra effort might not really be worth it. It might be easier to just make a bigger farm with more modules than trying to squeeze everything out of a certain area. edit: I'll do some testing

@@Nevir202 If the torch tower went side to side instead of front to back, you could use that to invert the signals for basically free.

@@skylerlehmkuhl135 I thought about that but you don't want one side to always be on, you just want the pulses desynched.

i accidetally reset the scoreboard a couple times xD . in reality these test were run like 3 times over

ilmango has a good point: for max brown mushrooms / work-hour up to a fixed amount, bonemeal is probably the best bet. This kind of farm is one you build and let run for a month.

So I need like four for nice potion brewing. Good to know

It's similar to the spreading of mycelium or grass

Its also play out. Like years ago.

@@freighter1097 You bring joy to everyone around you I am sure of it...

@@cw4963 Yes, actually, I do. My friends and I also don't go around repeating old shit that hasn't ever been funny.

Tu a raison vieu moi

Oh yeah, because the torch would power a block instead of directly powering the dust. Nice catch!

@@volbla Yep! Lone redstone crosses are quite useful when you want to direct dust cheaply. Especially when your main wire isn’t dust (in this case it’s torches, but repeaters and observers work the same)

the contradiction of writing : "this isnt the best, use this or that, bad compared to x" you do realize you only have that knowledge bc some1 tried and tested this ?

Did you feed bottles to the guardian farm manually or use witch dropped ones?

What are the better ways to farm brown mushrooms?

@@WillemLawyer big brown mushroom farm growing them with bonemeal

Yeah but that's not necessarily easier to automate, especially on servers that might not allow things like TNT dupers.

Indeed, I kind of miss the old mushroom farms and the caves/nether totally full of mushrooms xD

Same lol

Use weakness arrows. Sure you’d have to grab dragons breath, but to get a boatload of that would be easier than going through the process of mushroom growing (Or if you’re on bedrock: 1 stack of arrows can be tipped in a full cauldron of X potion).

@@antibull4869 thanks man, i didn't know zombie villager's healt gets restored when cured, i'm gonna use the arrows for sure

@@antibull4869 can't believe I hadn't thought of this before, I made my trading hall today and am gonna be using them too.

Endermen are gardeners in my headcanon ever since their pick-up list got nerfed. :P (I wish they didn't take damage from cactus)

i don't know how sneaking would work underwater

No because it needs to be a long pulse, not 2 short ones because it wouldn’t work

Lmao

The farm may work, but there may be a more efficient way for mushrooms to spread, different from Java.

im anoyed that this doesnt work on bedrock

@@seamus6364 it should do, i built one years ago that worked, i cant see why it wouldnt, it may just be a bit slower

Zero tick farms no longer work on Java, and I assume it's patched on Bedrock too (unless of course this is yet another parity issue)

@@jacksonpercy8044 ahh right i didnt realise it was for java too, thanks

brown mushrooms provide a light level of one and don't block spawning, which helps with slime farms in a swamp. The slimes can spawn at light level one, but no other mob can. if you saw his video on this, I'm sorry to share info you already have. :)

@@jasonhardin8383 I found the vid right after posting this. Debating if I should make one or stick with the chunk farm I just finished making.

If you already took the time to dig one out, I would use that one, as moon cycles don't effect spawn rates there

A big one or a bonemeal one

Or even better look for a full auto villager wheat farm

look up nano wheat farm, using it for an hour gives like 20k wheat or something. You just need a decent amount of bonemeal. Or if you don't need that much wheat just do a villager based farm, but you'll have to be within 128 blocks of it at all times

I don't think you need a fully automatic farm specifically to craft target block for brown mushroom farm, it's not really too much. But if you wanted a lot of wheat, here's a few option. 1.plain big wheat field if you're looking to expanded the farm quicker use fortune when harvest to get extra seeds. 2.micro farm(best option for most mid/end game) Probably the best option if you have bone meals. 3.villager powered fully automatic farm It's the only way to make fully automatic farm without player interaction. But it's quite slow for an automatic farm and not really worth the time. hence why it's quite rare for people to build one. 4.afkable automatic farm.(player needed to operate the farm) Ilmango built one in the peaceful series, there's probably many design. You probably need for map art to be interested in building one of these. Too much effort and too much wheat for normal use.

Wheat is also important for mud bricks

All spawn attempts cancel if there's a solid block above the spawning space. Even though a spider could fit in there, you need transparent blocks above for them to actually spawn.

not easily. if you want to procedurally destroy terrain and collect the items, that is a quarry. quarries generally need side trenches and clear top/bottom layers built in advance, so they're safe from liquids and there's somewhere for the block-breaking/item-collecting machinery to fit. ilmango's ancient debris tunnel bore is an exception: no trenches or clear layers needed, it goes right thru terrain. but, it's very limited: it does not work in the overworld, and storage is limited to a few hopper minecarts. also, it cannot reliably collect anything except ancient debris (other things burn in lava).

@@joevdb9232 mango did make an overworld version of the netherrite miner thing but then comes the flaws that once those reach a certain distance they take too long

Allays

@@takashinew5460 that could work however the issue is that they could be caught up in the explosions

@@skillim7744 you could just make the time between explosions longer

Nostop invisibility

@@MrMaksibon Actually true! I love trolling in minecraft, how did I not thought of that?

The swamp slime farm design he's shown off before takes a lot

@@RealDanteS01 but for 5 minutes of chopping big mushrooms you get at least 5 stacks

I actually think Etho has a farm like this. He waits for a mushroom to spread and then it gets bone mealed. He still harvested that manually, though.

i still dont know, but i just placed constantly updating observers, so it works now

NVM IT DIDNT WTF

It's a pretty standard etho hopper clock. You should be able to look it up and get some answers. Hope that helps!

It's 9x9x3

Around 760 mushrooms if every layer of the farm has 4

ofc such a huge spreading farm is not really smart to make, you would ofc use a bonemeal based one. nevertheless a smaller version can be quite handy for constant harming pot production etc without you having to bring bonemeal, place shrooms etc. and initial input doesnt really matter. you can technically put 1 shroom on every layer and it will fill itself overtime

yep

Yeah, but what would you need red mushrooms for? Rabbit stew, the best food in the game? Oh wait, stews don't stack so they actually suck :(

Swamp slime farms are a lot easier to build. It's also much easier to find a swamp than a slime chunk.

Much easier to build than digging out an entire chunk.

@@joshuarosen6242 Ok makes sense. If I already found a slime chunk would it produce more?

@@KCreations4You Only if you dug out the whole slime chunk and had multiple floors. It's really not worth the massive effort compared to a swamp slime farm.

@@joshuarosen6242 Ok thank you!

Yes, but should work in Bedrock too.

You could just milk a mooshroom with the bowl no?

Shulker box for food would cancel out the stack issue.

@@JewishNoble It still pales in comparison to the amounts of food you can get otherwise. It's just not worth it.

@@DoremiFasolatido1979 fair enough i use a shulker for rabbit stew and just reuse bowls
