  First farm with mud under the sugarcane.  Hoppers under the mud. Water source under the block the pistons are on. Glass box next to sugarcane. 100% lossless.

  Your camera angles and explanations on this one were excellent. Bouncing between overhead and 1st person was seamless and super helpful. Thanks for this guide, Eye!

  It pains me so much that half of the sugarcane is wasted, never using the standard farm design again

  My quick and easy &quot;fix&quot; for my sugarcane farm was always to add 1 bamboo with an observer in the mix. Saves all the observers and triggers often enough to not waste sugarcane.<br>Daylight detector with observer sounds much cleaner though

  I can&apos;t tell you how long i&apos;ve been playing with redstone, before just now learning you can switch minecart track directions with a lever...

  Plant it on mud blocks and put hoppers under them. &nbsp;Put the water under the pistons, not part of the collection system. &nbsp;The planted part of the farm can be 1 block wide, plus block walls and redstone around it, with no loss.

  I’ve always wondered why people didn’t put the water on the other side under the block. It stops wasting and if you use mud and a hopper chain it’s even faster. Basically the same design works with bamboo and kelp as well

  Or just replace the daylight detector with a hopper clock for underground use. 1 stack of 64 items in a hopper clock gives you one trigger every 25 seconds for example.

  I don&apos;t like going to the nether so I&apos;m trying to cut down on the number of observers and comparators I need, but this guide convinced me to go poke my head in there for just a few quartz, excellent build guide!
