Items to have

Making a simple glow berry farm is extremely easy and it needs only a few items to execute. Players will need to make a small redstone contraption, hence some redstone blocks are also needed. Here are all the essential items needed for the farm:

  • Observer
  • Piston
  • Redstone dust
  • Hopper
  • Chest
  • Glow Berries
  • Any block for building
  • Glass blocks

How to build the farm setup

First things first, players will need to build a redstone contraption which will keep an eye on the glow berries growing. Players can place a piston and an observer on top ensuring that they're facing the same direction. Players must then connect them with redstone dust on a block behind. This will ensure that the piston breaks the glow berries the moment they start growing.

After this, players will need to make a collection station with hoppers and chests. Players can place a hopper at the bottom and place a chest beside it so that they connect with each other (make sure the hopper gets connected to the chest).

After this, players can place glow berries on the ceiling of a glass block, right in front of the observer block and above the hopper. Whenever the glow berry grows, the piston will push and break it, and the hopper will collect the glow berries and keep it in the chest. This is how players can easily build a glow berry farm in Minecraft 1.18.
