Introduction

In this tutorial, I will show you how to build an easy string farm using materials that you can obtain on the first day of your survival world. This string farm will help you collect string quickly and efficiently, allowing you to use it for various purposes in the game.

Materials Needed

Before we begin building the string farm, let's go over the materials you will need:

• 31 building blocks
• Shears
• Bucket(s) of water (2 recommended)
• Hopper
• Chest
• Tripwire hooks
• Lever
• 2 pieces of string (more recommended)
• 2 trapdoors
• Shovel
• Temporary blocks

Building the Outline of the Farm

To start building the string farm, we need to create the outline of the farm. Begin by placing a dirt block and then another one on the corner of it. Repeat this on the other corner, forming a curved wall shape. Continue building three blocks high for each section of the wall. Then, add two blocks sticking out from the middle top blocks. Break the middle block of each section and place trapdoors on top of them. Open the trapdoors and remove the blocks above them.

Adding Water Sources

Next, we need to add water sources to the farm. Make an infinite water source by placing water on two blocks behind the trapdoors. Fill the rest of the farm with water to create a flooding effect. This will ensure that the strings drop into the middle of the farm for easy collection.

Creating the Collection System

To collect the string drops, we need to create a collection system. Dig down two blocks from the top middle blocks of the farm. Place a chest on the bottom block and a hopper on top of it. Test the collection system to ensure that the hopper is collecting the drops properly. If necessary, add more dirt blocks on the sides of the farm to prevent drops from flying out.

Activating the Tripwire

To automate the string collection process, we will activate the tripwire. Place tripwire hooks on each side of the farm and attach strings to them. Hold shift and right-click to place the strings. Activate the tripwire by using shears on the string. Flick the lever immediately after the tripwire breaks to reactivate it. This will cause the strings to multiply, resulting in more drops for you to collect.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're having trouble with activating the tripwire, don't worry. The timing can be tight, so it may take a few tries to get it right. Consider adding more strings if you're running out quickly. Experiment with the timing until you find the right moment to flick the lever.

Expanding the Farm

If you want to increase your string output, you can expand the farm by building multiple layers on top of each other. Simply replicate the steps we've covered so far and stack the farms on top of each other. This will allow you to double or even triple your string collection.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully built an easy string farm using simple materials. This farm will provide you with a steady supply of string for all your crafting needs. Experiment with different variations and improvements to enhance your string production even further. Happy crafting!
