Redstone Plating

 

Are you having trouble automating your Minecraft World, because you can't build farms that works using just redstone blocks? So this page is for you!

That's a simple addon that allows you for plating on Minecraft using redstone. Perfect for you that wants to automate your world in a simple way using redstone machines. For planting it adds Plant Block, the one who makes the magic happen.

 

Plant Block

Plant block allows you planting a lot of seeds, all you need to do is feed with the seed you want through a hopper, provide the suitable land for the required seed and connect it to redstone.

 

Structure

To make it works, follow the following structure:

 

• The bottom side (red glass) is dedicated for the redstone signal source
• Put a hopper in any side edges (blue glasses) of plant block (north, south, west, east)
• On the upper (green glass) side just put the suitable land for the required seed

Follow for mode details:

 

Powering Plant Block

Redstone block can be activated exclusively by redstone wire, redstone block and redstone torch.

 

• Warning: The power signal must last at least 11 game ticks (higher than 0.5 seconds)

Positioning Hoppers Correctly

Position the hoppers is simple, all you need to do is, put it in any side (north, south, west, east), pointing for Plant Block, just like in the image:

Note that Plant Block can receive more than a hopper at same time, once in different directions, so it has a priority order for getting the seeds. First to be verified is the south hopper, then west, north and finally east (clockwise). Check it on image:

• Warning: When powering Plant Block, take care to not block hopper flow with redstone signal

Land for Plant Block

You must give for Plant Block the farm place, and it deppends what you want to plant, you can use farmland, sand block or red sand block and soul sand. It works just like the real game planting rules.

• Remember that if you are planting **sugar cane**, also sand you need water for planting it! For farmland plants you don't need water for plant, but plant block will not affect growing rules
