I suppose I should get started on my cactus farm again :3 Last one got raided by an ally (which is what happened to the one before that) because my faction didn't get the memo that when you tp an ally, chances are they will take everything you have and destroy your massive money making farm!
Oh well :3 Next one will be for me and a close friend only.
Thanks for the statistics @Kris !

Or you could make this on a larger scale (all depends on the redstone you can afford):

This mechanism is quite common, it doesn't look very nice but it works (you can place blocks in front to prevent the items from falling outside the water, I removed them for taking the screenshot) and it's all automatic, the only flaw is that the number of pistons you can reach with 1 furnace is limited as you can see in the picture (last two blocks aren't powered), I'm working on a solution for that.

As alternative you can just use a lever:

Sometimes the melon/pumpkin fall on the ground rather than the water, but you can fix it enlarging the duct, it's still faster than manually doing all the job of gathering anyway. Both methods can probably be optimized, these are just concepts I put together in Creative, while I was waiting for Survival to come back online.

Hey guys,

So the faction server just reseted with a new economy, and i was really curious to find out what is the best money making methode at the moment, in this tutorial i will show you how to get 1 mil with the different farming methodes ( i will look at the time/afford it takes)

NOTE

i used only 1 Claim/Chunck ( 16x 16) and only 1 layer (you can obviously expand it)

cactus!

So i started of with making a cactus farm which is 7x7 and has 49 cactus:

A cactus grows every 2-4 mintus, so ill take the middle which is every 3 minutes, that means that you get 49 cactus every 3 minutes, Now lets do some of my favourite subject in school MATH: 60/3 = 20, so every hour you get 20 x 49 cactus = 980 cactus per hour,

64 cactus costs 80 $ 80 /64= 1,25 $ per cactus, 1,25 x 980 = 1.225 = 1,2 k,

This obviously doesn't seem like a lot for a hour, but if you build another layer, you're already close to 2,5 k per hour,

So to get 1 million ingame $ you'll need 800.000 Cactus (Wow!)

800.000 / 980 = 816,32... Hour of afking!

REMEMBER

If you make another layer you can already half the time!

Now lets say you got 4 of these layers, which will make you (980 x 4) 3920 cactus per hour, you'll need
800.000/ 3920 = 204,081... hours

8 layes will already be 100 hours,

Conclusion!

cactus farming is easy, you build a layer once, and you'll never have to do anything about it again, making 1 layer like this will only take you like 5-10 minutes, think about if you have 32 layers (which will take you like 5 min ) = 2 hours to build and you'll make around a mil every 25 hours! of Fully afking.. doesn't seem that Hard!

sugarcane!

I started making a Sugar cane farm in 1 chunck, it contains 15 x 7 = 105 Sugar cane per layer!

as you can see a very simple farm.

I coudn't find the time it takes to grow 1 extra Sugar cane, so instead i used a timer and waited till 15 Sugar cane (1 row) was fully grown, it may be different with ur Sugar cane but ill use these times for the tutorial.

After 10 minutes all but 3 are fully grown, but for the sake of me being lazy, we'll go with 10 mintus, Every 10 minutes you get (105 x 3) = 315 Sugar cane, it also takes like 1-2 minutes to farm so we'll go with 12 minutes per run

60/12 = 5 run per hour which means 315 x 5 = 1575 Sugar cane per hour.

64 Sugar cane = 160 $ 160/64 = 2,5 per Sugar cane

1.000.000/2,5 = 400.000 Sugar cane! 400.000/1575= 253,96... hours

And ofcourse, if you make more layers the time will be much shorter=

4 layers = 63 hours

8 layers = 31,5 hours!

To make 1 'layer' you'll need i guess 5 minutes max, its really not that hard, you only need to get a flat area and some space to put the water in.

Melon!
yes melon333 its ur turn,

So again i made a simple farm

If fully grown there are 6 rows of 15 melon, so there are 90 melons, Every melon drop 3-7 melon slices, so we'll take 5 melon slices per melon ( For max money making use a silk touch!)

After 11 minutes, all the 15 melons are grown, if you instantly farm them you'll get 90 x 5 = 450 melon slices per 11 min, per hour you can do 5,454545... full runs 450 x 5,45 = 2452,5 melon slices, 2452 / 9 = 272 melons per hour, 160 / 64 = 2,5 $ per melon 272 x 2,5 = 680 per hour ( wow this is quite bad TBH),

For 1 million, you'll need 400.000 Full Melons 400.000/272 = 1470 Hours!, jeez

and ofcourse if you make mulitple layers, it all goes faster

4 layers = 367 hours

8 layers = 183,8 hours

16 layers = 91 layers

You can ofcourse make it semi-automatic (maybe full auto but i don't know the design),

CONCLUSION

Some farming methodes are easier, some are fully afk-able some are not, in my opinion is cactus the very best, you can fully afk and with 32 layers you'll make a mil in 25 hours, which is pretty sweet since its full afkable, also i think melon/pumpking needs to be a bit buffed, cause i don't think its fully worth it !

TL; DR (mostly for aXed)
Cactus :

1 layer = 816 hr

2 layers: 408 hr

4 layers : 204 hr

8 layers : 102 hr

16 layers : 51 hr

32 layers : 25,5 hr

64 layer : 12,8 hr
(FULLY AFKABLE)

Sugar cane:

1 layer : 253 hr

2 layers: 126,5 hr

4 layers: 63,25 hr

8 layers: 31,625 hr

16 layers: 15 hrs
(CONTINIOUS PLAYING CAN'T AFK)

Melon:

1 layer : 1470 hr

2 layers: 735 hr

4 layers : 367,5 hr

8 layers : 183,75

16 layers : 91,875 hr

32 layers : 45,9375 hr

64 layers : 22,96 hr
(REQUIRES TON OF WORK (probably a silk touch)AND CAN'T AFK)

Pfew, i took me around 2 hours to figure out everything and make this thread

I Hope this was usefull, Leave some suggestions

Goodluck in the new reset
