Minecraft has a plethora of unique resources, and almost every one of them can be farmed. While items and blocks can be obtained manually, automating makes everything less tiring and more efficient.

Using redstone and applying game mechanics, players can create farms to gather tons of resources easily. Farms can be categorized into automatic, semi-automatic, and manual types.

Manual farms are simple farms where everything needs to be done using hands. Players can use an auto clicker in semi-automatic farms to make the work less tedious. Automatic farms are the best as Minecrafters can perform other tasks while the farm runs in the background.

In the early days, players may often experience a food shortage. To avoid this, building an automatic food farm is highly recommended. All kinds of food farms are possible in Minecraft.

Villager-based food farms are usually the go-to choice as they produce crops. These crops can be turned into food, used for trading, or breeding animals.
