A farm is a generated structure in a village used for growing various crops.

Generation

Farms generate naturally in villages. All farms generate with farmland blocks, water, and at least one composter (with rare exceptions). Most farms generate with crops, mostly wheat, but melons, pumpkins, and carrots may also be found.

In addition, village farm plots have a 20% chance to generate with potatoes planted, and a 10% chance to generate with beetroot planted.

Post-generation

A player may create a working crop farm in any biome in the Overworld or The End. A farm needs farmland blocks, which are created by using a hoe on dirt blocks. Given sufficient light, seeds or other crops may then be planted on the farmland and grown to maturity for harvesting. While crops can grow on dry farmland, hydrating the farmland blocks with a nearby water source block increases the growth rate of the crops.

Use

While a village farm is a good ready-made source of food, a village is not required for farming crops. A player with access to water, dirt or grass blocks, and a hoe may create a farm anywhere.

For a typical early-game survival farm, a player uses a hoe to create farmland within four blocks of water, and then plants seeds that were harvested from breaking tall grass. The seeds eventually grow into wheat after a few day-night cycles. Once the crops have matured, they can be harvested and then used for food, trading, leading livestock, breeding livestock, or breeding villagers.

Farmer villagers use a farm's composter as a job site. Farmer villagers can also be seen occasionally harvesting crops.

Structure

Farms generate in different configurations depending on the biome. Some farms have irregular shapes that can vary from the configurations shown below. As seen on the right, it is possible for a minimal farm to generate naturally with one water block and eight farmland blocks.

The crops are stored as wheat blocks, which are then replaced by biome specific crops in a processor during world generation. The processor goes through each possible crop sequentially, so each subsequent crop is rolled only if the previous crops did not get replaced.

As shown in the sections below, additional resources that make up the structure are available beyond the farmland, water, and composter blocks found in all farms.

Desert

There are three variants of farms found in desert villages:

• 
  Three patches of farmland divided by two irrigation canals and a composter.
• 
  Farmland with an offset composter surrounded by jungle trapdoors.
• 
  Large farm surrounded by hay bales, two composters, and a water channel made of smooth sandstone.

Crops

Crop	Chance	Calculation
Beetroot	20%	${\displaystyle 20\mathrm{\%}}$
Melon	8%	${\displaystyle 10\mathrm{\%}\cdot (100\mathrm{\%}-20\mathrm{\%})}$
Wheat	72%	${\displaystyle 100\mathrm{\%}-20\mathrm{\%}-8\mathrm{\%}}$

Additional resources available

• Cut Sandstone
• Hay Bale
• Jungle Trapdoor
• Smooth Sandstone Stairs

Plains

There are two types of farms found in plains villages:

• 
  A large crop farm, with four patches divided by two irrigation canals, and two composters.
• 
  A commonly-found small crop farm, with two patches divided by an irrigation canal, and a composter.

Crops

Crop	Chance	Calculation
Carrot	30%	${\displaystyle 30\mathrm{\%}}$
Potato	14%	${\displaystyle 20\mathrm{\%}\cdot (100\mathrm{\%}-30\mathrm{\%})}$
Beetroot	5.6%	${\displaystyle 10\mathrm{\%}\cdot (100\mathrm{\%}-30\mathrm{\%}-14\mathrm{\%})}$
Wheat	50.4%	${\displaystyle 100\mathrm{\%}-30\mathrm{\%}-14\mathrm{\%}-5.6\mathrm{\%}}$

Additional resources available

• Dirt
• Oak Log
• Water

Savanna

There are three types of farms found in savanna villages:

• 
  Four patches separated by a walkway, and two composters.
• 
  Irregular shape, dotted with dirt paths and a composter.
• 
  Irregular shape, with a single melon and a composter.

Crops

Crop	Chance	Calculation
Melon	10%	${\displaystyle 10\mathrm{\%}}$
Wheat	90%	${\displaystyle 100\mathrm{\%}-10\mathrm{\%}}$

Additional resources available

• Acacia Log
• Acacia Planks
• Acacia Stairs
• Dirt
• Short Grass
• Grass Block
• Tall Grass

Snowy plains

There are two types of farms found in snowy plains villages:

• 
  A farm surrounded by stripped spruce wood with a lantern hanging over the water and a composter.
• 
  A farm surrounded by snow blocks with a lantern between the water and a composter.

Crops

Crop	Chance	Calculation
Carrot	10%	${\displaystyle 10\mathrm{\%}}$
Potato	72%	${\displaystyle 80\mathrm{\%}\cdot (100\mathrm{\%}-10\mathrm{\%})}$
Wheat	18%	${\displaystyle 100\mathrm{\%}-10\mathrm{\%}-72\mathrm{\%}}$

Additional resources available

• Lantern
• Snow
• Snow Block
• Spruce Fence
• Spruce Stairs
• Stripped Spruce Wood

Taiga

There are three types of farms found in taiga villages:

• 
  Two patches separated by a winding path and a composter, surrounded by pumpkins and two torches on pillars.
• 
  A winding path on one side, surrounded by pumpkins, a composter, and two torches on pillars.
• 
  A pumpkin farm with a composter, surrounded by cobblestone.

in Bedrock Edition, these structures also generate in the snowy taiga village variant, and are topped with snow layers wherever there is sky access.

Crops

Crop	Chance	Calculation
Pumpkin	30%	${\displaystyle 30\mathrm{\%}}$
Potato	14%	${\displaystyle 20\mathrm{\%}\cdot (100\mathrm{\%}-30\mathrm{\%})}$
Wheat	56%	${\displaystyle 100\mathrm{\%}-30\mathrm{\%}-14\mathrm{\%}}$

Additional resources available

• Cobblestone
• Cobblestone Stairs
• Cobblestone Wall
• Dirt
• Fern
• Grass Block
• Dirt Path
• Large Fern
• Mossy Cobblestone
• Spruce Trapdoor
• Torch
