Improved Bone Meal Farm 1.18+

How do you fix the water?

Don’t waste your time, it doesn’t even work

Scam

@ilmango please pin this or copy it into description so other people can fix these possible issues.

Ok so I just made the two tile version in my 1.19.4 fabric world (although version doesn't matter I don't think). I had some problems and here are some solutions:

1. Before operating the farm, make sure that you have plenty of bonemeal in each dispenser. They DO NOT have to be completely full when it starts up as the farm produces it. Just maintain them.
2. THIS IS IMPORTANT. Moss CANNOT generate on cobblestone. Make sure that the lava flow above the water is generating STONE. To do this, block off the lava flow (not the source) that is not allowing the stone to form (the side close to the moss) and let the lava flow to make stone. Break the lava dam block, and get some bonemeal!

Can anyone help me the stone generator creates all the time cobbel stone please help me

heyya!! One side is producing only 2-3 rows of moss and the other side is using all the stone to turn into moss, any idea what I did wrong? I read on reddit the timing for the water/moss creation is off and the water is above the stone right before the moss spreads!

Does it work in bedrock edition???

This farm works amazing BUT breaks all the time. sometimes for no reason at all, sometimes cause you forgot to turn it off before unloading the chunk. i'm fixing it practically every single day

What are the rates? Also, does it work on 1.20.2?

This is a wonderful machine. Perhaps more accurately, it's a collection of machines all working together. Multiple ingenious timers, stone generator, collection system, moss generator, auto-composter... it's really incredibly how it all goes together.

Hey ilmango, I found one of the weird cases where the farm breaks on unload while running and one side of the farm stops making moss. The solution was to break and replace the observer that is being pushed back and forth to trigger the bonemeal on that side, but I don't know why that fixes it. Do you know from a technical perspective what happens with that observer that it doesn't give proper timings anymore?

Feels like you missed the very obvious add sticks to limit dispenser bonemeal

Chunk unloading, a server lag, accident disconnection break the farm and you should re-place lava and stone under it. Also it causes some cobblestone which should be removed... Is it possible to fix somehow?

does anyone know how to place the signs that are on top of the hopper line in the middle
I tried easy placing them in but the sign just stand up and isning floating like on the schematic

GERMAN?

y does the lava keep turning into cobble and one side of the farm just not insync with the other side

did I do anything wrong? My hoppers clog up with seeds/azelia/moss etc, the output as well as the ones feeding the dispensers. Anyone had this too?

Illango I built it and it breaks all the time produces cobblestone

WARNING! never leave this farm on in an unloaded chunk, it'll shit itself. same with closing the world with it on.
to start the farm put a stack of bonemeal in each hopper that feeds the dropper that feeds the moss (only the 2 on the water line)
besides that i just used the schematic and it worked perfectly.

does this work on 1.20.1 multiplayer?

for those wondering, its still working in 1.18.x to 1.21

Thia farm is breaking constantly for me in 1.20.4 for no reason in multiplayer now. Just constantly needing fixing while it's running for some reason all of a sudden. It used to only break when unloaded.

@ilmango I built this and everything works, but the amount of moss that is generated is about 6 blocks per bonemeal, but I tested your farm in the downloaded world and the moss covers most of the stone with each bonemeal.

i have this problem with hopper not moving items fast enough on a multiplayer server, and it keeps making cobblestone and then removes the lava, any one that had same issue but found a solution?

do this still work on 1.20?

Hi, i've been using this farm for a few months in 1.20.4. Now i've updated my minecraft server to 1.21 and i wanted to inform you all that my farm broke. Pistons pushed stone upwards, removing the lava, and idk how but some trapdoors managed to slide 1 block to the center of the farm.

one timing is off on the right side of the larger farm and i have no clue how to fix it the water comes before the bonemeal fires

Still works in 1.21! just turn it off before unloading the chunks

works 1.21?

is there a litematica file?

Is it just me or is this farm like, INCREDIBLY laggy. I'm running on a 4070ti with a 5800x3d on 1.21 Fabric singleplayer world and my god the amount of lag is insane.

Edit: fixed it, check this comments' replies it might fix it for someone else who's experiencing this

where do i get the bone meal after its all done

it works in 1.20.1?

Does this farm work on 1.20.1 Spigot servers because on my world the piston that pushes the stone into the middle is pushed onto the sticky pistons that pulls the stone down from the generator and then the farm stops working. Any tipps how to fix this?

does it work in 1.21

is there a way to make this farm server safe? I have re made it block by block MULTIPLE times and I just cant seem to make it work. I'm guessing its because its on a Minecraft server but I'm so frustrated!!!

Hi, to make in sort that the farm don't break when we leave the area of the farm can we add a chunk loader??

My piston is pushing stone into the lava and ruining it. How do I fix? I'm on 1.21 dafult tick speed

As always superior work! Thank you so much for sharing - works perfectly fine in 1.21 (even with carpet mod slightly edited) <3

This farm will not work on some servers, stone gets pushed into lava and ruins it, pistons push trapdoors ahead. Tried to fix it 5 times and dismantled it. It's more of a single player or lag-free server farm.

This farm isnt unload proof sadly :c

had this built for a bit now for moss blocks rather than bone meal and it's so strong the hoppers can't seem to keep up with the items coming in.. even managed to put 10 item droppers on it to try speed things up getting through hoppers but just still keeps blocked a little

how we start this farm

Don't log off while running this farm. the stone will potentially get pushed up into the lava

Built the 5 module one off this as off 10/23/24 Paper server 1.21 no issues with it works perfectly drops my client FPS but doesn't affect server TPS built an auto crafter system turning it into bone blocks and then feeding them into a shulker box loader just a tip the occasional moss item flows through my water stream so an auto sorter would be wise i didn't consider this when i built the auto craft and dont want to redo it a few blocks down so instead i put a hopper before the autocrafters hhoppers and put one of each item i dont want into it and will just manually remove them from that hopper another thing i did was put a comparator at the last chest on my shulker box chest so when its empty it send a signal to the bonemeal machine to turn it off i also built at build limit (not sure if it would make any difference building it that high) Thanks

I would not wear armor and turn on a beacon. I woke up to no armor but was still alive because I had a beacon

is it possible to replace the concrete with deepslate as building block

this farm worked perfecly in my survival world, no problem 100% recomend. way simpler than the theysix design

i downloaded the world i cant find the farm
