Like in real life, players can cultivate crops in Minecraft. Seeds can only be planted on tilled dirt blocks. After a seed is planted, it takes a certain amount of time to mature into a plant.
Minecraft players can automate and farm all types of resources efficiently. Automatic crop farms rely on villagers to plant seeds and harvest the crops. This article will provide a step-by-step guide on how to create an automatic crop farm in Minecraft.

Building the farmland

Plant the seeds and bring an unemployed villager
villager takes on the profession of farmer and is ready to harvest the crops. Now, players have to build the collection system.
Make the collection system
Players can either use a full hopper chain system or make a hopper minecart system. The minecart system is cheaper to build but has one downside. Sometimes, the minecart may get stuck due to Minecraft’s chunk loading/unloading.
Hopper chain system is costly but is easy to build and doesn’t break. To make a hopper chain, place a chest and connect the hoppers leading to it, as shown in the image. The hoppers should be right below the tilled land.

Players can make a simple hopper minecart collection system using some rail tracks, powered rail tracks, and Redstone. Make this system right below the tilled blocks so that the hopper minecart can collect it. Lead some tracks over hoppers going into chests, as shown in the image.
Fill the villager’s inventory by dropping him some seeds, crop, or bread. Now, whenever the farmer harvests a crop, he won’t pick it up due to full inventory. So, the crop would fall on the ground and will go into the collection system.
