This is the main hub of the Golem farm.

Golems are produced here and pushed through a tube into my castle.

 

 

 

 

 

The tube flows above my tree farm and drops them in a container for harvesting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the Enderfarm I created with the help of my girlfriend. It has both kill mode and XP mode. Very fast leveling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks again Doc for your tutorials!

Poor Lydia.  Always tries to do her job but doesn’t always make the right decisions.  Guess its time to reload.  Is this when you reload the game?

I’m definitely more of a builder of utility than outside appearance. 

The large room on the lower left will be a large farm which will have trees, melons, pumpkins and reeds.  I will probably create another room that does cactus by itself though as I can funnel the drops into the big room.  If there is room I may also try to get wheat in there as well.  I will use pistons to harvest the reeds, melons and pumpkins as it can be done fairly easily.  I have yet to figure out a way to collect the items after auto-harvesting (without re-planting).  Stay tuned for updates to this minecraft construction.  Please let me know if you have figured out a way to collect the harvested items with reasonable efficiency.
