The 10 Biggest Minecraft Farms Ever Built
Minecraft farming has evolved dramatically, with huge farms capable of producing millions of items per hour. Here are some of the biggest and most mind-blowing farms ever built, showcasing Minecraft engineering at its finest.
1. Raid Farm – 2.2 Million Items per Hour
One of the largest raid farms ever produces 2.2 million items per hour, including 1.2 million emeralds. It features two sections: an overworld side for villager spawns and a Nether side with TNT cannons that annihilate raiders. Its complex design even requires 281 flint and steel per hour!
Key Features:
- Overworld and Nether components.
- Automated shutdown system to prevent damage.
- Survival-friendly design but needs two players (or carpet mods) for maximum efficiency.
2. Iron Farm – 1 Million Iron per Hour
Producing a staggering 1 million iron per hour, this colossal farm is designed with 6,960 villagers spread across 580 separate sections, stretching from y-level -6 to 319. Although highly efficient, this farm is extremely difficult to build in survival mode, requiring massive amounts of resources and villagers.
3. Gold Farm – 990,000 Gold Ingots per Hour
Designed by Nik Is Lost, this gold farm takes advantage of low-level placement to boost spawn rates of zombified piglins. The farm, though challenging to build due to extensive land removal and Bedrock breaking, offers unmatched efficiency.
4. Shulker Farm – 600,000 Shulker Shells per Hour
This ultra-fast shulker farm, designed by Gim, generates 600,000 shells per hour but requires large amounts of TNT. It’s perfect for players needing tons of storage but is very resource-intensive.
5. Guardian Farm – 700,000 Items per Hour
FortuneDiamond’s guardian farm produces 700,000 items per hour and doesn’t even require ocean draining! Built over an Ocean Monument, this efficient design is easier to set up compared to other large-scale farms.
6. Bamboo Farm – 12.5 Million Items per Hour
ToastedSausage’s bamboo farm creates an incredible 12.5 million items per hour. However, it consumes more bone meal than it produces, making it less suitable for survival. A smaller, more manageable version of the farm can still generate millions of items.
7. Cobblestone and Basalt Farm – 2 Million Items per Hour
This ingenious 2-in-1 cobblestone and basalt farm can switch between producing both items at 2 million per hour. The smart redstone design makes this farm surprisingly lag-friendly and manageable in survival.
8. Creeper Farm – 1.2 Million Gunpowder per Hour
This massive creeper farm, designed by Froggra, uses low positioning and Bedrock breaking to reach 1.2 million gunpowder per hour. Though resource-heavy, it’s ideal for large TNT projects.
9. Wither Skeleton Farm – 2,000 Skulls per Hour
Dave Rooney’s wither skeleton farm operates entirely in the Nether, producing over 2,000 skulls per hour. While effective, it requires extensive clearing of the Nether and finding a fortress with three crossroad intersections.
10. Bamboo Farm – 12.5 Million Items per Hour
Toasted Sausage’s bamboo farm is one of the biggest, producing up to 12.5 million bamboo per hour using an automated system with bone meal dispensers and hopper minecarts.
