3rd generation of wool dying videos from Pixlriffs and I'm still full of childish wonder for the rainbow colours and simple set up of these farms. lovely stuff
Pro tip: keep a bunch of cobblestone and redstone near your hostile mob farm, then you can use all the bows from the farm to make dispensers. You never know when you might need dispensers, and it's a good way to keep from wasting the bows from the farm. Keeping the materials nearby means you can make stacks and stacks without having to transport the bows somewhere else for crafting.
@@jujoya TNT is far preferable - yes you have to mine sand (unless you’re ok with end portal duping) but it’s far better controlled and less dangerous. Direct TNT duping to a tunnel bore is also an option - but far more work than TNT.
Something nice about Bedrock edition for this specifically is that dirt doesn't count as a full block and so a hopper can just pull the item through without having to mess with the hopper minecart set-up.
Ever since I first learned about Wool Farms, I've made sure to include them in my worlds. I play Bedrock & tend to use the; powered loop of rails with hopper minecart just below the grass - version that I first learned. It's probably a LITTLE cheaper in Iron costs. Also, I tend to buy a ton of shears from Shepard villagers to further reduce cost. (then sell them back the wool for more emeralds. . .to buy more shears! Ah, capitalism. :) ) Entertaining video anyways.
It is also faster because you put multiple sheep into a single always refreshing grass block. But if you mix colours I find the yields to be skewed towards a particular colour. Not sure if it's purely luck or if that particular sheep is a glutton 🤣. Oh and pix's design looks nicer
I'm guessing this design will work on bedrock then? Coming back to minecraft after about 10 years and really trying to learn the basics again so all the simple farms are great
A great introduction into the woolly world of hiding minecarts in blocks. Fabulous colors to dye for included. Plus this video breeds up a whole lot of new information on 1.20 mechanics for getting your colored sheep on. Once again a great video from the Minecraft Survival Guide, where you are guided to do more than just survive. Come for the education, but stay for the pun!
Because my early Minecraft experiences involved watching your s1 survival guide my play style has been heavily influenced by you; I like to be as prepared as possible. So when I saw that you found an ancient city my first thought was “Oo, wool farm coming soon”
Nice video Jonny! Just a reminder to those that turn "mob griefing" off to stop endermen stealing blocks; don't do it. Sheep eating grass is also counted as mob griefing so if you do turn it off, you'll never have wool.
As one who doesn't feel like I constantly need a lot of every color available, I've taken to only making a few cells of this farm, and then changed the color of the sheep when I want a different color of wool using the handy trapdoor at the top. The only problem is that you can't re-dye a shorn sheep, but there are two easy solutions for this. Either temporarily remove the shears or break the redstone dust to allow the sheep to regrow their wool without getting sheared. Then, put everything back and one manual shearing to get things going again, I'm back to collecting wool.
This is one of the first farms I made back when I started my persistent world in 1.16. Since then storage beneath got filled and expanded to where each sheep now has 9 large chests (not double chests ;) ) for a total of 144. I'm probably around 80% of the current 1/2 million wool block capacity since I don't actually use it all that much. But it's still a colorful, interactive farm in my base I enjoy.
I love the storage idea for the color coded areas. Multi-colored items are always a pain for auto storage, so this is a great solution to that pain point. Will have to implement that into my own world. Thanks!
Another fun guide video. I kind of half listened through last seasons but having just watched last season's Ancient City guide, I understand the need for more wool :) I do have a suggestion on your color wall/color floor storage system. Instead of making both walls and floor the same pattern, set the floor pattern first, then build the wall pattern to match the floor based on your facing orientation to that wall. This would provide an easy to see guide at your feet at what chest is what... that is, until, you replace it all with dyed shulker boxes. :) Thanks for all the work and guides. Your work helps expand my education on a lot of Minecraft mechanics.
Hey Pixl, Now this was a great eps! I don't know about the dirt/grass block pushed in to a hopper minecart and WOW the idea for the "wool wall" is impeccable! specially for the shulker boxes. Thanks so much and see you in the eps, Cheers
15:40 Here is a thought. If you place the wool on the floor in a grid pattern, repeat said grid pattern on the walls, you could look at the floor and know the color of the item in the corresponding wall grid location. Also it would look better IMPO, be symmetrical, and not set off my OCD, LOL.
I just made a wool farm the other day on my server. We have an unbreaking 3 villager in our trading hall, so all 16 stalls have 9 sheers each enchanted with unbreaking 3. I spent a lot of time at our skeleton XP farm to be able to enchant 144 sets of sheers. Glad it's all done though!
I remember watching your sheep farm tutorial from survival guide season 1, I had just started learning about automation and you explained it in a way I could understand. It really blew my mind and I think about that every time I make a sheep farm 😂😊
I'm not a person who has ever messed with automatic farms in my worlds - I usually don't have much of a need for them, to be honest, and I honestly enjoy most material gathering as a nice sort of brainless activity I can do to unwind. But wool is one of those things that I just never seem to have enough of to do what I want with it. So on my newest realm with my friends I finally made a wool farm with all the colors! I think they'll always have a special little place in my heart as my first ever auto farm lol. I really like the way you did yours with the different colored glass, I might have to add that to my bedrock one!
I know this video was posted a while ago but I just wanted to say thank you! I love following your survival guide and have had so much fun playing Minecraft for the first time
16:42 for the bedrock folks, you cant put 2 single chests next to one another, because they will connect. The workaround for this is to alternate trapped chests
I love rainbow wool farms. Pushing the dirt/grass block into the same space as the hopper minecart was new to me - thanks! My next wool farm will be more compact.
I love building episode ! I realy hope someday we are going to have a tutorial on litematica or world edit and you use the opportunity to transfert the museum of season one that nobody got to see completed in this world and incorporated the messing element of the newer update ! ;)
One way to improve the efficiency of the sheep farm is to dig out the dirt layer under the grass and put torches to light below. The grass will spread down to the dirt beneath and then spread back up to the block under the sheep, making it grow back more quickly.
I do hate to wait. But fortunately I didn't completed the season 2 before went inactive from Minecraft. So I can enjoy s2 while s3 gets new episodes. Hope it comes faster.
just finished watching the live stream and a good comment came up about the End. The sky dimension should be introduced that will allow fast travel from over world to end locations. introduce a new block to construct sky portals in the end. Sky dimension would also be maybe the best place to use elytra for the first time. Use it to get around sky islands more efficiently. New mobs can be introduced there etc.
You never teach me anything new because I know everything about vanilla Minecraft and it's mechanics but I still watch every video just because it's enjoyable and soothing. It's like my daily dose of happiness. I wish I enjoyed Minecraft as much as I enjoy your videos but I find that I get bored pretty quickly with Minecraft. Glad to see the survival series back up and running, looking forward to seeing where to take this world. ❤
In my mind, I was thinking, just place the rails on top of the barrel and gently nudge the cart forward. It does work however, doing it that way, the cart is more likely to stick out towards you, but when the rail is on the hopper and gets removed, the cart changes its position to be sideways. It was still showing outside of the block tho, but not as much as doing it the way I wanted, with putting the rail on the barrel. I'm in bedrock, on the Switch, so I just wanted to see which way would be better for me, and if we could even do auto sheering for bedrock. The matching colored glass is a cute idea.
I know it has almost been a year, but 9 shears would produce more than 33 stacks, since a sheep can be sheared for 1-3 wool at a tome. If we take two as the average, 9 shears would produce around 67 stacks of wool
If I recall correctly, dirt blocks must be exposed to the sky for grass to spread to them. Transparent blocks, such as glass, do not block the sky, but solid blocks do. So, if you enclose the sheep farm inside a structure, be sure to use only glass blocks above the grass and dirt under and around the sheep. You can also replace the wood blocks at the front of each sheep stall with grass to improve the dirt block conversion rate. Place trap doors over the side face of the grass blocks for a more aesthetic appearance.
@@craveliving681 That is good to know. In some previous version I had difficulty with that but will certainly give it another try in my current MC world. Not having that limitation greatly expands the possibilities. Thanks!
I wish there was a way to make an item sorter that went by just "wool", "terracotta", etc. without having to be specific to "white wool". "blue wool", etc. That would make it worth doing. I've also always thought it was weird that you can't combine blue and yellow dye to make green dye.
I use a version of this where a single minecart runs under all the modules and brings the wool back to a single unloader. I find it easier than going to all 16 to collect the wool I need. And less iron, minecarts get expensive, but I have more rails than I'll ever need from raiding mineshafts.
I play in java realms. Not sure why but sometimes when I smash the dirt block into the hopper minecart the mincart disappears like in your vid, other times the mincart turns black and looks like the hopper inside gets displaced with the dirt block. It still works as intended just a surprising graphic glitch.
That's something they should port over from bedrock for a life improvement. I play bedrock so the head of the sheep remains with the color, plus (if memory serves me) the "speckles" of wool that remain are also colored accordingly.
@@joshhus154 you found me out 😂 those pesky British spellings vs American are usually a dead give away. But I do use the Grey instead of Gray (typically considered American).
Hey Pix, you know you can just leave the rail under the hopper minecart and then just don't push the grass/dirt block down? Hopper minecart will still pull through a complete block.
@@gatoleyo7739 Saving space, totally agree, good point. More aesthetic, well you can close up the gap left by the minecart. I mean you will make a 1 block higher farm anyways. If you are ok with the noise and have enough gold and redstone, a minecart track might be a good solution, too. Surprised me that Pixel didn't even mention that alternative.
Embedding hopper minecarts in blocks is common practice for stationary item collection to make things more compact. BTW: You can embed hopper carts into non-movable blocks with some rail trickery. You can use a regular rail that is either sloped downward or curved towards the side of the block, put the minecart on top and let it roll down the slope or push it around the curve. Very useful e.g. for embedding the hopper minecart in a nether portal frame, or if you don't want to bother with pistons.
Things that can come in 16 colours: - wool - carpet - beds - glass - glass panes - concrete - concrete powder - dye - shulker boxes … so, using the shulker boxes as storage, there are 8 things for 8 matrix displays on the corners. And if I’ve missed anything, the wool can stay where it is 😊
Banners are also available in 16 colours. But things like carpet and glass panes are by-products of other blocks, so I doubt I’ll need a full chest of those unless I’ve got a build planned
I just find it slightly amusing that everyone I have seen making a tutorial or a let's play series makes a wool farm. It seems like a right of passage. But thing that amuses me is I RARELY see any one use the wool for anything other then just minor builds. They end up with massive amounts of wool in several chest, but thing that amuses me is I RARELY see any one use the wool for anything other then just minor builds.
A bit of feedback. This might be an unpopular opinion but I think the frequency of your video uploads is too high. It's easier to follow if it's once or twice a week. Usually when I miss an episode or two I lose context then lose interest very quickly. Nevertheless, great quality work.
Appreciate the feedback. The series usually slows down later on, when I start taking on larger projects. For these smaller episodes, momentum is really important to me and it’s quick to make a focused episode on one topic.
Out of interest, can the sheep farm be made automatically if a villager is placed there or will it also work if a zombie is placed there under shade? Or am I wrong in thinking that it can be made automatically?
Love this farm, it works great most of the time. But on my bedrock world unfortunately im having to replace sheep frequently. Finding cooked mutton in the barrels. Thinking they might be getting struck by lightning a lot, I don't know. Any thoughts on this, anyone?
I know there will be an iron farm video later that may explain parts of this, but I would like to point out that simulation distance (as long as it's set to at least 10) does not increase the random tick range. Random ticks happen in any chunks with the center closer than 128 blocks horizontally from a player. If a chunk satisfies that condition, the entire chunk (from the bottom of the world to build height) will receive random ticks. This "blocky cylinder" is where random events will happen, such as grass/mycelium spreading (btw: grass and mycelium only compete for dirt, they do not overgrow each other or different dirt-like blocks), crops growing, copper aging, snow layers forming, water freezing or ice melting. Again, these things *only* happen around players. Chunks that are farther away or are loaded for other reasons (such as the spawn chunks of the overworld) do not receive random ticks on their own.
Can anyone advise me on how to push the dirt block into the hopper minecart? When I place a piston above the dirt, attach a lever and activate it, the piston doesn’t move. If I remove the dirt from under it the piston operates just fine. Playing on bedrock edition
I play on bedrock edition and I still color coded the glass because it looks cooler than clear. I also named my white sheep jeb_ 🐑 because it seemed so plain next to all the other sheep 😂 Also I waited to set up my wool farm until after I had an iron farm, for sheers and anvils an enchanted book library with zombie discount and the bedrock edition trident killer 100% afk guardian farm by @silentwisperers so I could enchant 3 shulkers of sheers with 3 shulkers of unbreaking 3 books and use up like 4 anvils, but the coll thing was it only took like 10 seconds to go from level 0 to level 3 so I just stayed in the anvil interface and did 18 at a time 😅 it took like 5 minutes after the days of prep 😮💨 lol. But I would do it again cause it was still fun to do.
A specific flower in Botania eats wool, but is picky about which color. You can get insanely complicated farms for feeding them. But most start off with these humble sheep-in-a-pen module.
Btw. because not all colours are on the electromagnetic spectrum, can't make a rainbow with white black or brown etc., how do you guys sort your colours?
@@killianobrien2007 Something I tend to do in my sorting but some how it annoys me that we have from white to pink-red, light blue-blue , lime-green, light grey-grey and at the same time we have blue-cyan-green, red-magenta-purpur. However I fit it, it never satisfies me. I know, 1st world problems, but I just want to know how others deal wit that.
@@christianhohenstein1422 This is the way I do it: Black Grey Light grey White Light blue Blue Cyan Green Lime green Yellow Orange Brown Red Pink Magenta Purple
Ahaaaaa!!!! 😎 Youuu!.. You nearly got me There but you.. You forget the Most important Sheep 😏 THE RAINBOW SHEEP! 😂😂😂 . . . . . . . . . . . (Only for those Who knows!🤫)
Do you have mob griefing switched off? That gamerule disables Creepers from blowing up blocks and Endermen from moving stuff around - but it also prevents sheep from turning grass to dirt when they eat, which is the mechanic this farm relies on. You could always wire the dispensers to a timer circuit or something like a daylight sensor. That would remove the reliance on sheep eating grass. If you don't have mob griefing disabled, you might have just wired the redstone incorrectly. Watch back through the video and see if there's anything you missed!
Just a comment.... I know this is just a game to be expoloited etc but I really felt for those poor sheepses stuck in a one x one block. Sad I know, they get transported that way in RL, but it reminded me about ducklings, 20 or so to a box, on a trailer. I nearly cried waiting for traffic lights to change so I could get away from their quacking and cries... Really felt like jumping out and setting them free!! I'm a carnivorous human but my feelings toward animals are just too intense. Even to watch cartoon animals (entities) to be trapped. Sad I know. some great ideas though, just can't watch this episode. Sorry!

It still works as intended just a surprising graphic glitch.
How about some kind of map wall or map art for the other storage area walls?
it’s high time for minecraft to make it so charcoal gives black or dark grey dye
The 17th color of Shulker box is the default "purpur" color from it's end city palette. Don't know if anyone else mentioned it.
I do like how you explained that the sheep don't keep their colour when they're sheered and the use of coloured glass is a nice touch.😊
That's something they should port over from bedrock for a life improvement. I play bedrock so the head of the sheep remains with the color, plus (if memory serves me) the "speckles" of wool that remain are also colored accordingly.
@@williamludwick77I take it that you're American based on the fact that you spell colour differently 😅. I am Australian by the way.
@@joshhus154 you found me out 😂 those pesky British spellings vs American are usually a dead give away. But I do use the Grey instead of Gray (typically considered American).
@@williamludwick77This is the way 😂
Glass rainbow roof would be cool for that
Mud farm soon to come ??? I think your design for a mud farm is the best one outthere right now
Next episode!
@@Pixlriffs That's awesome! I've literally been waiting for you to do another tutorial on your mud farm to build one in my current world 😁
Hey Pix, you know you can just leave the rail under the hopper minecart and then just don't push the grass/dirt block down? Hopper minecart will still pull through a complete block.
i think he did it to save space and to make it look more aesthetic
@@gatoleyo7739 Saving space, totally agree, good point. More aesthetic, well you can close up the gap left by the minecart. I mean you will make a 1 block higher farm anyways. If you are ok with the noise and have enough gold and redstone, a minecart track might be a good solution, too. Surprised me that Pixel didn't even mention that alternative.
Embedding hopper minecarts in blocks is common practice for stationary item collection to make things more compact.
BTW: You can embed hopper carts into non-movable blocks with some rail trickery. You can use a regular rail that is either sloped downward or curved towards the side of the block, put the minecart on top and let it roll down the slope or push it around the curve. Very useful e.g. for embedding the hopper minecart in a nether portal frame, or if you don't want to bother with pistons.
Ohhhh, I smell beep dark episode next 👀
Nice!
Things that can come in 16 colours:
- wool
- carpet
- beds
- glass
- glass panes
- concrete
- concrete powder
- dye
- shulker boxes
… so, using the shulker boxes as storage, there are 8 things for 8 matrix displays on the corners.
And if I’ve missed anything, the wool can stay where it is 😊
Terracotta & glazed terracotta.
Banners are also available in 16 colours. But things like carpet and glass panes are by-products of other blocks, so I doubt I’ll need a full chest of those unless I’ve got a build planned
Candles possibly.

I just find it slightly amusing that everyone I have seen making a tutorial or a let's play series makes a wool farm. It seems like a right of passage. But thing that amuses me is I RARELY see any one use the wool for anything other then just minor builds. They end up with massive amounts of wool in several chest, but thing that amuses me is I RARELY see any one use the wool for anything other then just minor builds.
A bit of feedback. This might be an unpopular opinion but I think the frequency of your video uploads is too high. It's easier to follow if it's once or twice a week. Usually when I miss an episode or two I lose context then lose interest very quickly. Nevertheless, great quality work.
Appreciate the feedback. The series usually slows down later on, when I start taking on larger projects. For these smaller episodes, momentum is really important to me and it’s quick to make a focused episode on one topic.
Out of interest, can the sheep farm be made automatically if a villager is placed there or will it also work if a zombie is placed there under shade?
Or am I wrong in thinking that it can be made automatically?
It seems that no matter how hard I try I cannot make green from blue and yellow dye. xD
Perhaps the next armor type will be crafted from wool?
Love this farm, it works great most of the time. But on my bedrock world unfortunately im having to replace sheep frequently. Finding cooked mutton in the barrels. Thinking they might be getting struck by lightning a lot, I don't know. Any thoughts on this, anyone?
I know there will be an iron farm video later that may explain parts of this, but I would like to point out that simulation distance (as long as it's set to at least 10) does not increase the random tick range.
Random ticks happen in any chunks with the center closer than 128 blocks horizontally from a player. If a chunk satisfies that condition, the entire chunk (from the bottom of the world to build height) will receive random ticks. This "blocky cylinder" is where random events will happen, such as grass/mycelium spreading (btw: grass and mycelium only compete for dirt, they do not overgrow each other or different dirt-like blocks), crops growing, copper aging, snow layers forming, water freezing or ice melting.
Again, these things *only* happen around players. Chunks that are farther away or are loaded for other reasons (such as the spawn chunks of the overworld) do not receive random ticks on their own.
Can anyone advise me on how to push the dirt block into the hopper minecart? When I place a piston above the dirt, attach a lever and activate it, the piston doesn’t move. If I remove the dirt from under it the piston operates just fine. Playing on bedrock edition
make sure you destroy the rail first. I had the same problem and that was why
The builds lately are using a lot of iron. Are you still using the iron from the iron veins or do you have a makeshift iron farm?
Nevermind. It got answered on 10:45 lol
If you could get any color wool from a Jeb_ sheep
Hello 👋🏻 from Morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
I wish sheep color breeding worked on bedrock. And i was heartbroken to discover the dye in my cauldron no longer has subtle shades😢
I play on bedrock edition and I still color coded the glass because it looks cooler than clear. I also named my white sheep jeb_ 🐑 because it seemed so plain next to all the other sheep 😂
Also I waited to set up my wool farm until after I had an iron farm, for sheers and anvils an enchanted book library with zombie discount and the bedrock edition trident killer 100% afk guardian farm by @silentwisperers so I could enchant 3 shulkers of sheers with 3 shulkers of unbreaking 3 books and use up like 4 anvils, but the coll thing was it only took like 10 seconds to go from level 0 to level 3 so I just stayed in the anvil interface and did 18 at a time 😅 it took like 5 minutes after the days of prep 😮💨 lol. But I would do it again cause it was still fun to do.
This is insanely useful in certain mods... Ahem, Botania.
A specific flower in Botania eats wool, but is picky about which color. You can get insanely complicated farms for feeding them. But most start off with these humble sheep-in-a-pen module.
@@waveclaw IK. I always try and design something on my own.
Good Morning
Btw. because not all colours are on the electromagnetic spectrum, can't make a rainbow with white black or brown etc., how do you guys sort your colours?
Brown is a shade of orange
@@killianobrien2007 Something I tend to do in my sorting but some how it annoys me that we have from white to pink-red, light blue-blue , lime-green, light grey-grey and at the same time we have blue-cyan-green, red-magenta-purpur. However I fit it, it never satisfies me. I know, 1st world problems, but I just want to know how others deal wit that.
@@christianhohenstein1422 This is the way I do it:
Black
Grey
Light grey
White
Light blue
Blue
Cyan
Green
Lime green
Yellow
Orange
Brown
Red
Pink
Magenta
Purple
I sort them the way the game does.
@@MantisFoxx2 How does the game sort them?
Are you going to go back to a Monday-Wednesday-Friday rotation?
My grass block never changes to dirt when the sheep eats, so the observer never ticks
For anyone who has this problem, I had mob griefing turned off to protect my builds. The sheep couldn't modify the block to activate the redstone!
With all the iron being using, an iron farm might be in order.
For me its not working. It is just pushing the scissors out of the dispenser. Can anyone help?
Ahaaaaa!!!! 😎 Youuu!.. You nearly got me There but you.. You forget the Most important Sheep 😏 THE RAINBOW SHEEP!

Hi
What, no unbreaking on the shears? Pff, whet ever! 😜
Did anyone’s not work? Can’t seem to get mine to do anything
Do you have mob griefing switched off? That gamerule disables Creepers from blowing up blocks and Endermen from moving stuff around - but it also prevents sheep from turning grass to dirt when they eat, which is the mechanic this farm relies on.
You could always wire the dispensers to a timer circuit or something like a daylight sensor. That would remove the reliance on sheep eating grass.
If you don't have mob griefing disabled, you might have just wired the redstone incorrectly. Watch back through the video and see if there's anything you missed!
who is the first player figure out this sheep farm?
For once I am actually early!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Just a comment.... I know this is just a game to be expoloited etc but I really felt for those poor sheepses stuck in a one x one block. Sad I know, they get transported that way in RL, but it reminded me about ducklings, 20 or so to a box, on a trailer. I nearly cried waiting for traffic lights to change so I could get away from their quacking and cries... Really felt like jumping out and setting them free!! I'm a carnivorous human but my feelings toward animals are just too intense. Even to watch cartoon animals (entities) to be trapped.
Sad I know. some great ideas though, just can't watch this episode. Sorry!
