Wattles how are you placing hoppers and chests and stuff without having to shift because clicking a hopper or something like that normally has you opening it. Is there like a secret hotkey for that? Would be really nice to have a Minecraft Hotkey video!
You can bypass the sorter as well by changing your collection system to stationary hopper minecarts on top of hoppers instead of the rail line and sorter. Each sheep's wool goes straight down in its own chest. Your system will be a bit cheaper as well (compared to the sorter).
I would recomend putting unbreaking 3/2 on the shears if you have a villager that sells the unbreaking 3/2 book to make the farm last longer before you have to restock it with shears
Instead of all those item sorters have a hopper minecart sitting on a hopper going into your chest storage for each sheep pen. This keeps all the colors separate in their own chest storage.
On one of Prowl's tutorials, a viewer suggested putting the minecart rails on scaffolding...i did this for my rails used in my melon/pumpkin farm...it works great when you need to restart the cart...
I've been using a modified version of this farm since I found a version like it over 6 months ago. A few notes of changes, improvements, or answers ro questions I've seen quite a bit of on here. 1) biggest comment I've seen is that it uses a lot of hoppers. Which is true, and it could be done differently. I, personally, put a hopper 1 block below the grass block the sheep stand on, and put a rail and hopper minecart on top of that for each sheep (then put glass or some block on each side of the cart to hold it in place). I am not sure whether this is any more lag efficient though. Yes, it uses way less hoppers, but hopper minecarts process items (and therefore affect lag) 8 times as fast as a regular hopper. I just have a decent computer, and don't feel affected by it at all. It does completely circumvent needing a sorter, and avoid all that other redstone dust that affects lag, though. So, pick your poison. 2) You can make this setup smaller by eliminating that middle row. All you have to do, is move 1 row of sheep to the side, then closer to the other sheep by 1 block each. If you are tight on space, this will save some room. However, this could lower your rates slightly, because the sheep will each share a corner with each other. This means less grass blocks to spread to the sheep for eating, and therefore slower spread on average. Most average players will still get more wool than you know what to do with even with the lowered rates. 3) Restocking the dispensers should rarely be needed if you fill them all. However, a couple things you can do to prevent ever needing to are fairly simple if you have easy access to the materials to do so. First, is put more shears. Fill all 9 slots in each dispenser with shears, and that is good for around 2400 uses each dispenser. You can extend this even more if you enchant them with any level of unbreaking (which actually still works when a dispenser is using them). You can also put a hopper in between each dispenser facing 1 into each. This is another 5 shears you can queue up, and even allows you to put s barrel above each with ANOTHER 27 shears. This is a total of 41 shears you can easily have ready for each and every dispenser (which is INSANE, but should guarrantee you not need to refill for a couple years of playing). Supercharged if you also put unbreaking on them all. This location also doesn't acrually increase the size of the farm, since it just utilizes unused space. Note: disable farm when you want to dye the sheep by just breaking the redstone dust.
Rather than using plain glass, you can use stained glass. It doesn't affect the grass at all. My sheep farm is rainbow colored as all of the pens are the color of the sheep inside. 😊
You can eliminate at least half the hoppers here by using a dropper and a water stream to carry the wool. This would actually be preferable, because hoppers are much more demanding on processing and if you have a bunch of other machines nearby, your game can lag more easily when you have too many hoppers. And also, watching your wool blocks being carried by water is just more fun.
Auto Sheep Farms look better on Bedrock because the sheep are speckled their respective colours when sheared. I wish Java had that, I can't imagine it being that hard to code.
It is hard actually, but as a starter in c language and Java language, I find it very tough but for experts I personally think it shouldn't be that hard.
A note for the end when you mentioned making sure not to drop whatever block you use into the sorter as it will break it. To prevent this issue, it's best if you actually name the blocks that you use. For example I name all the blocks I use "Filter". That way if for whatever reason you accidently drop that same type of block into the sorter, it will not fall into the filters and break them, rather just simply travel to the end. Another thing, if you plan on leaving this running for some time, add an extra hopper at the end for overflow so that your system does not get clogged up if your chests finally start to fill up. If you want, you could use a dropper to just drop the contents into a cactus and dispose of any overflow.
there's a (probably) cheaper, less noisy alternative way to do this. build a 17x3 grass block platform, then place 8 of any full building block down the middle, one space apart, and one space out from the edge. they should be perfectly centered. place a piece of redstone dust on top of each of those elevated blocks. then place an observer on either side of each of those building blocks, facing outwards. then build a 17x2 grass platform going out from the observers (so one block higher than the initial platform). place your dispensers on top of the observers to create the shearing system, and build your glass pods for the sheep. now you'll have one piece of redstone dust powering two shearing systems at once. you can use trap doors on top of the glass pods to help get the sheep in there and prevent them from falling into already occupied ones. for lighting, you can do whatever but i like to use shroomlight or glowstone on top of the redstone with slabs in between so i can walk on top and refill the dispensers as needed. for the collection system, on ground level (one block below the initial platform), dig out a 3x1 hole under each pod starting from the block the sheep will be standing on. place your double chests on the outside of each one, then add a hopper going into the chests. you'll probably need to dig out a small trench on the inside to get these in, but you can refill it later if you want to. on top of each hopper, place a rail and a hopper minecart. i like to block in the minecart to make sure it doesn't go anywhere for any reason, but make sure to use something that will let you open your chests. i go for upside down stairs. if you need more storage, you can always expand your chests downwards with additional hoppers. then you can use item frames or just dig a hole in front of the chests and place a piece of colored wool in the hole. it's a little iron-heavy, but less so than a traditional sorting system, and way less redstone. if you really want to get crazy you can add an additional sheep that doesn't get sheared for display and name it jeb_ with a name tag :)
Use waterlogged rails, to slow down the minecart and two hoppers per sheep/chest, plus one extra spare between the sheep's. Makes the farm wider but no sorting necessary! So it is cheaper! 😊
Great video, Wattles! I just built a sheep farm in my world, but was on the fence about adding an auto-sorter (mostly because I forgot how to set one up lol). I'll be adding an auto-sorter later today
I set one of these up in every world. Instead of constantly having a minecart running and possibly filling up depending on how fast the sheep get sheered I have individual minecarts with hoppers sitting on hoppers under the grass block the sheep are set on. Less noise. Only downside is you're going to want to have a ton of iron for the hopper chain.
Just run it straight into a chest from the sheep that got sheared, no hopper chain, no sorter. Having built a few wool farms, this whole thing is just overcomplicating things with a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles .
@@emmdeekaysays173 I have a couple sheep in each farm that are dyed the same color. I don’t mind the hopper chain and sorter. It actually makes my game feel more smooth when I do that. I just don’t like the noise. I’ve probably built the same set up in different styles in each world on both platforms.
Just a thought. But if you didn't want to use so many hoppers. Wouldn't you be able to push a minecart hopper into the grass block the sheep is standing on Then place a hopper under that going into it's very own chest. That would only use 32 hoppers. (16 hopper minecarts and 16 regular). Sorry my iron farm is running lean. And that amount of hoppers scares me 😉👍
oh my gosh.... i mean that isnt a terrible idea at alll!! The more minecarts (even if completely idle) might cause more lag & would still cost quite a bit of iron but that could be SUCH a nice alternative
For the dummy blocks that you put in the hoppers, you can just rename blocks on the anvil. So where you put slabs you could just rename those slabs and then put them in the hoppers. So now it wouldn't matter if you put sllabs in the system.
That is such a nice compact design. I designed mine around how a dairy farm looks. 2 Rows of 8 with a walkway in the middle leading down to storage. Makes for a great barn style look to it. I was actually inspired from your wool farm from last season survival guide with the bee farm in the middle.
4hrs later... Searching for the materials, make this sheep farm and it works! Thanks a lot. Ofcourse you can use water instead of hoppers. But... who cares? Iron Farm and voila haha. Thanks a lot again and keep up the great work!
I build something similar but without the item sorter, each sheep just had it's own hopper to collect and into a chest... slightly larger overall but no noisy minecart and less hoppers
I made this farm on the server 2b2t, same exact size except all the sheep are purple. It is amazing and produces so much purple wool while I AFK fish! I produce thousands and thousands of my banners to leave around 2b2t for people to find & for many years now I have hand sheered all the banners taking me sometimes days to fill a bunch of shulkers of them. I actually went to sleep last night right after I built it and AFK fished while I slept, I woke up to multiple double chests full of wool. This farm has changed my life, so freaking amazing!
Two Things: 1. Ahhh! 😃 This set-up was one of the Very first of your video's that I watched when I was Just learning "how to play". 😊 It's a GEM and I try to Always place one at my Forever Home. When dabbling in the Create Mod world I added a Funky conveyor belt system to move things from my Critter barn 2 buildimgs away to the Aggie Bldg. It looks fantastic. 2. 🤪 REALLY REALLY wish I knew a Faster way to load the shears in the dispensers, it drives me BONKERS & I so Strongly dislike doing it I save it for the Absolute Last Thing I do! Glad to see this all still works seamlessly so I can get mine up & going.
Presentation is a bit long for my taste, but with good humor and spirit. The information is sound and was helpful as I construct my solution. Thank you!
You’ll probably want to put a sorter on the last chest in using an Impulse sorter. His sorter differentiates itself for its overflow protection. If you don’t have the sorter on the last chest, it will become the overflow bucket and the system will eventually break.
Got so tired replacing just 9 sheers I put hoppers with chests on top full of sheers above the dispensers. Runs for months now before needing a refill. Iron farm is a must to keep up with need.
I added a hopper system to restock all the dispensers with sheers. After hundreds of iron bars later, it is good to go for a very long time and i only need to check and stock one hopper.
I set up a big auto wool farm in my world a while back along with an auto-sorter for the wool. With the way I laid my farm out i couldn't do the minecart running in a circle, just going back and forth. So to make it a little more efficient I added a redstone comparator circuit that stops the cart, empties it, and then sends it back on its way. It was a circuit used in one of your previous worlds for emptying a minecart you used to empty your personal inventory when mining from way back in like 1.15 or so. It's still super handy!
Do you have any advice?? I’m playing bedrock and made the entire thing but my hoppers will not item lock this into the bar at the top, it just auto sorts anything I add.
Seems like the only reason to do it this way would be to use fewer hopper minecarts or because of space restrictions directly under the sheep themselves, but with all of the redstone and hoppers for the sorters you're probably going to get more lag not less. Honest opinion, why bother building a sorter when you can funnel directly from the source and use much less material?
In my friends world I have a pen full of sheep because reasons and everyone who plays on it says I have too much sheep I'm probably gonna need to build this
It must be a Java thing. Dispenser w shears. Sheep Observer < block of grass. Hopper in a minecart One track. Hopper going to chest. Glass all around for two high. Repeat for each color.
I am about to make a comment listing a bunch of stuff including this. However, hopper minecarts are a much bigger contributor to lag than regular hoppers (which are themselves a big contributor). Since, they work at 8 times the rate of a regular hopper, the game processes at 8 times the info for each one. So, it's more accessible to limit hopper minecarts when designing a build.
@@sixolddereks true tho a hooper can't pull through a block, that's why a Hopper with minecart is the only way. And as it's not moving you don't have an issue with lag. And both designs are only as fast as the sheep eat the grass.
@user-us5dr2qi2r the problem is that the hopper minecart is trying to pick up items whether the items are there or not. That is why many redstoners put a composter on top of open hoppers, because it prevents them from checking so often. There isn't a work-around like that for hopper minecarts, and they check 8 times as much. Although, using all those hopper minecrats does eliminate all the redstone dust in the sorters as well. So, I'm not really sure which is more lag efficient.
i followed everything this video setout but my sheep are not eating grass (the grass is not being destroyed turning into dirt blocks in my realm) any tips suggestions
I did the item sorter exactly as said, but it doesn't work. things get sorted half the time, but the rest of the time they get pushed back to the last chest and I get a whole mix of wool there. How can I fix this? I'm on the latest update 1.20
Unfortunately not. Grass spreading is caused by random ticks, and random ticks are only calculated near the player. Spawn chunks don't matter for random ticks
I don’t understand why there’s an auto sorter using so much stuff. Just hopper out of sheep’s grass straight into chest right by that colour ??? Reduce lag maybe from the Minecart running and still fully auto. 😢 .anyway I still got love for ya!
What I was thinking - why do you need an auto-sorter if the wool is technically already "sorted" by color? Just put a hopper-minecart underneath each sheep pen and another hopper directly into a double-chest for each color. No complicated redstone, and much cheaper - 32xhoppers, 16xminecarts, 32xchests for the entire collection system. Though perhaps Wattles was just combining the sheep-farm tutorial with an auto-sorter tutorial (since the design is not specific to this farm)?
I tried to start it up, but I couldn’t do it without anything messing up😢 I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but if someone can tell me what to do it would be really helpful
Can someone please explain why the slabs in the hoppers don’t get taken??? Every time tried a automatic farm design using hoppers I can’t ever lock them. How does that functionality work?
The redstone torch is what locks the hopper, so place that first before you do anything else. The slabs don't get taken because hoppers push their items in the next hopper/chest from the leftmost available inventory slot. That's the slot for the item you want to filter. The comparator reads a redstone signal of 2 if there is at most 45 stackable items in the hopper (and at least 23). That is 41 of the item you want to filter and the 4 slabs (or other item that stacks up to 64), one for each slot. On item 46 (42 in left slot) the redstone signal becomes 3 and the redstone signal reaches the redstone torch. The redstone torch gets turned off, unlocking the hopper. The hopper locks again when the total item count drops back to 45. Note that the sorter can break if you put more than 1 item in slots 2-5 of the hopper (or an item that does not stack to 64). If the system fills completely, your hopper contains at 69+ items. 69 items is the threshold for signal strength 4. If one of the comparators outputs signal strenght 4, the adjacent filter hoppers get unlocked because the adjacent redstone dust lines are connected, and these hoppers get emptied. If slots 2-5 are filled correctly, there will be at most 68 items in the hopper, which is signal strength 3.
my hopper minecart keeps stopping on the track. I changed every rail to powered to make sure it wasn't that and it still stops. Anyone knows why it would stop randomly?
what other tutorials are you currently searching for? 👀
( other than the recent ones in this playlist ofc ua-cam.com/play/PL0oJ2_Q2jPrc_60eVQMRGzu8xl1eH-NL9.html )
the last bee farm was 3 years ago. hope my comment still counts!
Wattles how are you placing hoppers and chests and stuff without having to shift because clicking a hopper or something like that normally has you opening it. Is there like a secret hotkey for that?
Would be really nice to have a Minecraft Hotkey video!
Cleaver use of the ImpulseSV sorter. I got my eye on that Creeper farm of yours... gotta go check it out.
A wither farm pls!!

Nice 👍
I swear if you said mending
baaah
Also I think shepherd villagers can sell shears so you can get shears quite easily
@@tallcowyt iron farms are way cheaper than that
I also like to color the glass according to the color of the sheep. Adds a nice touch to the inside of your buidling

You can rename your sorting block 🚫 on an anvil. This will help keep your auto sorter from failing, if the same block type is put in the system

Got so tired replacing just 9 sheers I put hoppers with chests on top full of sheers above the dispensers. Runs for months now before needing a refill. Iron farm is a must to keep up with need.
I added a hopper system to restock all the dispensers with sheers. After hundreds of iron bars later, it is good to go for a very long time and i only need to check and stock one hopper.
Somehow, for some reason, this made sense to me. I know got it now!!
You could also add a chest and hopper line that auto loads shears into the dispensers so they don’t need to be individually topped up
I did this for my farm… took around 1000 pairs of shears to fill it 😂
Happy to see this pop

I prefer using a hopper minecart for each sheep on a single rail on top a hopper. No need for a sorter.
If you stagger the sheep you can make it with half as many observers.
Señor can we see your take on a somewhat auto farm to gather dyes for sheep or concrete signs etc 😅
Very clear direction on this one 👍 well done!😊
trading hall tutorial would be cool
Buy why did you mix all the wool together and then separate them,you can just collect them one by one(using 16 different chest
I set up a big auto wool farm in my world a while back along with an auto-sorter for the wool. With the way I laid my farm out i couldn't do the minecart running in a circle, just going back and forth. So to make it a little more efficient I added a redstone comparator circuit that stops the cart, empties it, and then sends it back on its way. It was a circuit used in one of your previous worlds for emptying a minecart you used to empty your personal inventory when mining from way back in like 1.15 or so. It's still super handy!
Wattles, i annihilated the like button for you. I sent a full nuke. 👍
perfect
Is that why the like button is absolutely wrecked!? I could barely like the video.
And than dye, felt kind of personal :)
Do you have any advice?? I’m playing bedrock and made the entire thing but my hoppers will not item lock this into the bar at the top, it just auto sorts anything I add.
Can you do a creeper farm next please 🥺
Seems like the only reason to do it this way would be to use fewer hopper minecarts or because of space restrictions directly under the sheep themselves, but with all of the redstone and hoppers for the sorters you're probably going to get more lag not less. Honest opinion, why bother building a sorter when you can funnel directly from the source and use much less material?
Impulse is the man
I just put a single minecart/hopper to chest under each sheep. cheap/easy sorter.
In my friends world I have a pen full of sheep because reasons and everyone who plays on it says I have too much sheep I'm probably gonna need to build this
Wattleful tutorial
Hey Wattles, is it true or false that the grass will regrow faster if the adjacent block is higher or lower??
the wool isn't going into the chest however the sorter works
put gloestone above each pen for light.Hope that helped someone🙂🙂🙂
why above? - it can be in place of glass - glowstone is not a solid block same as glass + makes light

It must be a Java thing.
Dispenser w shears. Sheep
Observer < block of grass.
Hopper in a minecart
One track.
Hopper going to chest.
Glass all around for two high.
Repeat for each color.
That’s what im saying! Works fine on Java so what’s the point with carts zooming round all day and an auto sorter?!
@@RenegadeZulu I know right, my way works on both Java and bedrock. And no auto sorter or noise other then sheep.
I am about to make a comment listing a bunch of stuff including this. However, hopper minecarts are a much bigger contributor to lag than regular hoppers (which are themselves a big contributor). Since, they work at 8 times the rate of a regular hopper, the game processes at 8 times the info for each one. So, it's more accessible to limit hopper minecarts when designing a build.
@@sixolddereks true tho a hooper can't pull through a block, that's why a Hopper with minecart is the only way. And as it's not moving you don't have an issue with lag. And both designs are only as fast as the sheep eat the grass.
@user-us5dr2qi2r the problem is that the hopper minecart is trying to pick up items whether the items are there or not. That is why many redstoners put a composter on top of open hoppers, because it prevents them from checking so often. There isn't a work-around like that for hopper minecarts, and they check 8 times as much. Although, using all those hopper minecrats does eliminate all the redstone dust in the sorters as well. So, I'm not really sure which is more lag efficient.
For some reason this is the 2nd sheep farm i have built and both times the sheep dont auto shear for some reason

UA-cam need to rest a little
Did we make it in minecraft pocket edition please reply
I got tired of 1.20.1 as I am a new player it is too hard finding diamonds and getting netherite so I am shifting to 1.17 now
hi wattles
you know you can just put minecart hopper below the sheep and it will not require sorter
You should see good bedrock wool farms... 7500+ wool per minute with 16 sheep
I used a sim tick wool farm to get 65000 blocks for map art. Got it really quickly
@@raymondstheawesomeyeah it's crazy
Thought minecarts did not drop through rails which are corner rails?? Certainly I have had to change designs because of this.
Can you make this underground so long as you put glow stone above for the grass to grow?
glowstone is not solid block, you can place glowstones as pen separation blocks and they will do 2 jobs - separating and lighting
14:35 colourbetical order. 😂
How are you doing lad🗿
im ok u?
Im doing well thanks for asking @wattlesplays🗿🗿💪💪
Keep the great work going
is it available as schematic?
i followed everything this video setout but my sheep are not eating grass (the grass is not being destroyed turning into dirt blocks in my realm) any tips suggestions
I use a fishing rod to start the minecarts if they stop
why do u need to rows of chests? Isn't 1 row enough? The bottom ones (+hoppers) seem pointless to me
I did the item sorter exactly as said, but it doesn't work. things get sorted half the time, but the rest of the time they get pushed back to the last chest and I get a whole mix of wool there. How can I fix this? I'm on the latest update 1.20
I reset my base to be worldspawn. Would that allow the farm to run even when not loaded?
Unfortunately not. Grass spreading is caused by random ticks, and random ticks are only calculated near the player. Spawn chunks don't matter for random ticks
sadly what mathpi said is correct ^ 😒
Other than Waxfraud who really needs this?
People who explore lots of ancient cities and bed bomb for netherite
@@raymondstheawesome it can be done with any colour and without sorting - ancient cities have enough wool in to use
By the time you can afford all this, you probably won't need it
I don’t understand why there’s an auto sorter using so much stuff. Just hopper out of sheep’s grass straight into chest right by that colour ??? Reduce lag maybe from the Minecart running and still fully auto. 😢 .anyway I still got love for ya!
What I was thinking - why do you need an auto-sorter if the wool is technically already "sorted" by color? Just put a hopper-minecart underneath each sheep pen and another hopper directly into a double-chest for each color. No complicated redstone, and much cheaper - 32xhoppers, 16xminecarts, 32xchests for the entire collection system.
Though perhaps Wattles was just combining the sheep-farm tutorial with an auto-sorter tutorial (since the design is not specific to this farm)?
What, and run around the farm yourself to each of these chests?
@@jdotoz its 16 blocks 😂
@@RenegadeZulu Suit yourself, peasant.
Baaah (bottem of the description)
I tried to start it up, but I couldn’t do it without anything messing up😢 I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but if someone can tell me what to do it would be really helpful
Fun Fact: The video hasn’t ended
so true
Some of my dispensers aren’t cutting the sheep
Does this work on bedrock?
Can someone please explain why the slabs in the hoppers don’t get taken??? Every time tried a automatic farm design using hoppers I can’t ever lock them. How does that functionality work?
The redstone torch is what locks the hopper, so place that first before you do anything else.
The slabs don't get taken because hoppers push their items in the next hopper/chest from the leftmost available inventory slot. That's the slot for the item you want to filter.
The comparator reads a redstone signal of 2 if there is at most 45 stackable items in the hopper (and at least 23). That is 41 of the item you want to filter and the 4 slabs (or other item that stacks up to 64), one for each slot. On item 46 (42 in left slot) the redstone signal becomes 3 and the redstone signal reaches the redstone torch. The redstone torch gets turned off, unlocking the hopper. The hopper locks again when the total item count drops back to 45.
Note that the sorter can break if you put more than 1 item in slots 2-5 of the hopper (or an item that does not stack to 64). If the system fills completely, your hopper contains at 69+ items. 69 items is the threshold for signal strength 4. If one of the comparators outputs signal strenght 4, the adjacent filter hoppers get unlocked because the adjacent redstone dust lines are connected, and these hoppers get emptied. If slots 2-5 are filled correctly, there will be at most 68 items in the hopper, which is signal strength 3.
my hopper minecart keeps stopping on the track. I changed every rail to powered to make sure it wasn't that and it still stops. Anyone knows why it would stop randomly?
