AUTOMATIC SUGARCANE FARM

A zero-maintenance sugarcane farm. Observers detect when sugarcane grows to height 3 and trigger pistons to break the top blocks. Items fall into water channels leading to hoppers and chests.

Dimensions: Varies (tileable, typically 1x8 per row)

  3. 3Place pistons behind each sugarcane, at height 2 (they will break block 3).
  4. 4Place observers above each sugarcane position, facing the sugarcane.
  5. 5Connect each observer output to its corresponding piston.
