Q & A

What is the purpose of the AFK farm shown in the video?

The AFK farm in the video is designed to automatically gather materials while you are away from the game, allowing you to gather resources without needing to actively play.

Which version of Minecraft does this AFK farm work in?

This AFK farm works in Minecraft 1.21.9 and is also expected to work in most future versions.

What are the materials needed to build this AFK farm?

The materials needed are two chests, a hopper, a fence, a heavy weighted pressure plate, a water bucket, an iron trap door, a note block, oak planks (or any block of choice), and a fishing rod.

What is the first step in building the AFK farm?

The first step is to mine out four blocks where you want to build the farm.

How do you position the chest and hopper in the farm?

Place a double chest at the location where you'll be standing, and then position a hopper facing into the chest. Make sure to crouch while placing the hopper to ensure it faces the chest.

What role does the fence and heavy weighted pressure plate play in the setup?

The fence is placed on top of the hopper, and the heavy weighted pressure plate is placed on top of the fence. This setup ensures that items can be pushed into the hopper by the water flowing over the fence.

How is the water used in the farm?

The water is used to 'waterlog' the fence, which causes the water to stream into the hole below and push any dropped items into the hopper.

What is the purpose of the iron trap door and the note block?

The note block is placed on the fifth block of the setup, and a block is placed above it. The iron trap door is then positioned underneath this block. The note block emits a sound when interacted with, triggering the AFK farm to collect materials.

How do you use the AFK farm once it is built?

To use the farm, stand on the side of the chest and hold down the right mouse button while pressing against the note block. The materials that are collected will automatically be funneled into the hopper and stored in the chest.

What additional steps should be taken to ensure the farm works safely?

To ensure safety while AFKing, it's recommended to build a structure around the farm to protect yourself from any hostile mobs while you are away.
