To make a sugar cane farm in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Choose a location: Sugar cane can be planted on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, podzol, mycelium, sand, red sand, moss blocks, or mud. The block must be directly next to a water source[1].
- Prepare the base: Place 7 blocks of dirt or its alternatives in a straight line. This is where the sugar cane will grow[2].
- Plant sugar cane: Plant sugar cane on the dirt blocks next to the water source. Make sure the area is well-lit to ensure proper growth[3].
- Automate the farm (optional): To create an automatic sugar cane farm, you can use Redstone and pistons to break off the top and middle sections of the sugar cane, leaving the bottom block in place to regrow[4]. You can also use an Allay to collect the harvested sugar cane[2].
Here’s a simple design for an automatic sugar cane farm:
- Place pistons: Place pistons one block above the sugar cane, facing the sugar cane.
- Add observers: Place observers facing the sugar cane, with the output facing the pistons.
- Connect with Redstone: Connect the observers and pistons using Redstone dust.
- Add a collection system: Place hoppers or water streams below the sugar cane to collect the harvested items.

Remember that sugar cane will only grow if you are nearby, so it’s best to build your farm close to your base[13]. Happy farming!
