How to build a wheat farm (simple)

Here we will build a simple wheat farm in Java edition 1.21.5.

This is a simple wheat farm that will produce wheat but will have to be done completely by the player. To get wheat to grow it is essential to plant them near to a water source. Once you have located a water source you will need to hoe out from the water source so that you can plant the crops. Also for best results ensure that there is a light source close by this will mean that the crops will also grow at night as well as in the day.

To make this farm we will plant seeds and naturally let them grow. We will also have to harvest the wheat ourselves.

Wheat can be used for the following things:

1. Food - wheat is used for cows, sheep, goats and mooshrooms. When holding wheat all of these animals will follow you and you can place them in a pen.

2. Breeding - wheat can be fed to cows, sheep, goats and mooshrooms to encourage breeding.

3. Healing - wheat can heal a horse 1 health or lower its temper by 3% when attempting to tame it. It can also decrease the time it takes for a foal to grow by 20 seconds.

To make wheat we first need to get wheat seeds. These are got from breaking long grass which will drop the seeds.

In this section we will discuss the materials and the ingredients that we need to make this build. This will give a concise list of the items and the recipe's to make them.

Bucket

Torch

Hoe

Gate

Fence

Here we will explain in detail how to build a wheat farm (simple) in Minecraft. Please follow the instructions carefully.

1. The first step of this build is to dig a 1 block hole and place a bucket of water into it.

2. From the sides of this block take your hoe and hoe 4 blocks out and then create a square.

3. It should look like the picture.

1. Here we need to place a block of any description above the water block and place torches on each of the flat sizes.

2. This is for 2 reasons the first one is that it will stop bobs spawning on our new farm layout.

3. The second reason is that it will mean that the crops will grow even at night.

1. Then we need to plant the crops.

2. Crops can grow on their own or can you can use bonemeal on them to make them grow faster.

1. The next step is to place fences all around the farm. Please ensure to leave one block free.

2. The fences will mean that mobs cannot just wander around your wheat and destroy it.

1. Next place a gate on the block that we left earlier. This will enable you to be able to get in and harvest and replant your crop.

1. Here is the finished build ready to be harvested.

What can go wrong - crops getting trampled.

• Ensure that there is a fence built around the crops with a gate and ensure the gate is closed.

How to make this build easier - place 3 blocks in the middle above the water, this will enable you to place the torches on the highest block. You can then destroy the other two.
