Farming 10,000,000 Melons in Minecraft

why not go for 100 million

Rare occurrence where the sequel is better than the original LETS GOO

The fact that in the process he got a pretty impressive speedrun time is the funniest part to me

I really think if you do this again you should think about spawnproofing the farm by putting light sources in the ground- would be absolutely worth the slight melon loss to save time on dealing with mobs while your iron farm runs. Also- I'd make every block around your iron farm into path blocks to be sure they ONLY spawn inside the hot tub

Watching him turn his game to peaceful on 16:02 hurt so bad because I knew the zombies in the iron farms would despawn and it took him ages to realise.

Yet in his dismay, he hadn’t realized he mined 3.9mil. 2.9mil more than his previous goal with the same timeframe. True dedication

Absolutely awesome content. Gripping and fun. Some thoughts on the farm(s): - Slime farm worked great it seems. Provided enough slime with minimal effort. I dont think a slime chunk farm wouldve been better due to excavation time. - Iron farms could have been more robust i think. Thats hindsight after seeing rates and needed materials tho. - As pointed out elsewhere, i think spawn proofing the melon farm would be a good idea in any future tries. I would consider leaves or slabs for this task. The slabs may require reworking the farm. Or use buttons (not sure if minecarts are bothered by them). - Human-hoppering is easier with as empty an inventory as possible. - Other melon farm designs may be more suitable, but they may require resources that are outside the scope of this challenge. - Building a manual melon farm above or below to manually farm while staying around to keep it all in render distance.

This guy needs to have a survival series where he makes a farm for every item

The reason you had mined less dirt than you picked up in the statistics menu is that some of your shovels didn't have Silk Touch, meaning that when you mined a grass block it would drop dirt, counting it as having picked up dirt but having mined grass.

Hey, this might not be helpful, but I noticed that you had to count all of the melons by hand. The 'carpet' mod for fabric by mojang employee 'Gnembon' has a feature that allows you to count large numbers of items for farms. Not only would it show how many melons you've farmed, it would also show you the average amount of melons produced per hour, allowing you to figure out how much longer it would've taken to meet your goal if you fail. Love the video, great concept! :D

I LOVE watching you. youre so dedicated to every single video and its just super fun to watch you. keep going!!

So we get a third melon video. Excellent. They get better each time.

rekrap is the technoblade of melons, trying to find the most efficient way to not only farm them but also everything that leads up to them

Can only apologise I didn't know of you sooner . This video alone was the reason I subscribed ❤ can't wait to check out the rest of your channel

This is a good video man keep up!

13:18 My best guess is that grass blocks (he had over 14k mined) drop as dirt blocks unless you have silk touch, which he clearly did not

the sequel we never knew we needed but always did 😆

you are probably the most determined and levelheaded person ive ever even heard of

first: I'd like to say this was a very cool video to watch. I like the idea of hyper farming stuff in minecraft to an extreme degree (and extreme may be too light a word to describe this) but I have a few ideas to improve the situation (were you to try again). also, I'm aware it's been nearly a year since this released and the odds of anyone seeing this are low, but hey: I thought of some stuff, so here we are. 1. it would take extra time, but you could build a villager breeder. this creates more villagers (duh) for the iron farms, but you can also use them for my next idea. 2. this one may be too intensive, but hear me out. in your spawn chunks, build a hut and move 70 villagers there. trade with all of them once, and get them all zombified. this will ensure no more hostile mobs spawn anywhere ever. they take up the mob cap, and since they're in spawn chunks and have been traded with previously, they will always be loaded and never despawn. you do have to make sure you never give them items to hold or nametag them, though, or they won't count against the mob cap anymore. using that method, you could drop some dirt for the zombies in your iron farm so they don't count against the mob cap either. all that will definitely take some time, but I think completely preventing spawns will help with speeding up melon production and also keeping machine failures down. 3. you could use water streams to transport melons faster. again, a bit strange on the face of it, but hear me out. they have to be collected in hoppers for the farm's basic design, BUT you could use observer or repeater clocks with droppers to spit the melons back out, in item form, with synched despawn clocks and in uniform places (so none are lost on the edges). then, you could build water streams to transport the melons across hoppers to grab up the melons and store them in chests, which would cut down on the iron cost significantly (and make storage neater). I think droppers and observers make more sense, since they don't require bows and smelted stone to make and do the same thing here. you would need way more time to build the mob switch, gather redstone and cobblestone to build the water collector, and villager breeder, but I think not having to collect melons by hand would balance out the time. instead of moving melons manually, you have water do it for you, leaving time for the villagers to be bred and converted for the mob switch. there's probably more you could do too, but I can't think of it right now. good luck, soldier o7
