This build features a massive 9×2 floor kelp farm, designed to fit within a single chunk and yield approximately 4200 kelp per hour. It utilizes pistons and observers for automated harvesting.
All harvested kelp is processed automatically through six compact smokers with autocrafting capabilities for kelp blocks. An auto-feeding system and overflow management ensure continuous operation. Excess kelp fuels an array of 30 furnaces via hopper minecarts.
Fuel blockers are implemented to send controlled waves of 5 stacks of kelp blocks, preventing saturation and optimizing the smelting process. The entire system is fully automatic and self-sufficient once initiated.
Materials Required
40 block types · 7,603 blocks · 40×48×39
Before You Build
This build uses 7,603 blocks across 40 block types – about 119 stacks in total, or 5 shulker boxes worth of material. It occupies 40×39 blocks of ground and stands 48 blocks tall.
What to bring first
Survival or creative?
Every block in this build can be obtained in survival, so it can be built by hand without creative mode or commands. You will need Silk Touch for Blue Ice, Glass.
How to Place It:
Moving parts
It includes Comparator, Crafter, Detector Rail, Dropper, Hopper, Observer, Piston, Powered Rail, so check the mechanism still works after pasting – redstone state and item-container contents do not always survive a paste.
