Hydrated 9x9 Crop Plot

The classic 9 by 9 farm: 80 farmland around one water block, framed with logs and lit at the corners.

Water hydrates farmland up to four blocks away, so one centre source keeps the whole 9 by 9 plot moist. That gives 80 plantable blocks for wheat, carrots, potatoes or beetroot.

How to build the Hydrated 9x9 Crop Plot

  1. 1

    Frame

    Place an 11 by 11 ring of oak logs on the ground.

  2. 2

    Water

    Dig out the centre block of the 9 by 9 inside and pour in one water bucket.

  3. 3

    Farmland

    Till the remaining 80 dirt or grass blocks with a hoe.

  4. 4

    Light

    Put a lantern on each corner log.

  5. 5

    Plant

    Plant seeds, carrots, potatoes or beetroot seeds on every farmland block.

Builder tips

  • Cover the water with a lily pad or a slab so you do not fall in. A slab must be waterlogged to keep the water.
  • Jumping on farmland turns it back to dirt.
  • Crops grow faster in rows with different crops beside them.

Materials

Exact counts for every block in the build. Stacks are 64.
