Sugar Cane Farm (2024)

FAQs

Why doesn't my sugar cane farm work? ›

The block must be directly adjacent to water and not merely above or diagonal as with crops. If a plant's water source is removed, it breaks when it is next updated. In Bedrock Edition, the sugar cane is updated with its water, so it breaks immediately.

The best soil for growing sugar cane is one-meter-deep moist, not waterlogged, soil. To grow sugar cane, the ground must be well aerated, which means that after a heavy rain, its pores are filled with air by more than 10% ^{Sugarcane. Land & Water. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. www.fao.org}.

One of the most efficient ways for players to farm sugar cane is standard manual farming. While there are many ways to do this, players can create one row of water, then one row of sugarcane, and repeat this as large as they would like the farm to be.

Gummosis and leaf scald can cause severe damage in sugarcane and other plants in the Poaceae family. The bacterium Xanthom*onas axonopodis pv. vasculorum causes gummosis and the bacterium Xanthom*onas albilineans causes leaf scald.

But yes, farming fortune works on the top and middle pieces of sugar cane.

Sugar cane can generate naturally near water and ice, as two (¹¹⁄₁₈ chance), three (⁵⁄₁₈ chance), or four (²⁄₁₈ chance) blocks tall. Rare taller sugar canes can be found if the world generator places two smaller canes on top of each other.

So far I only know that regular farmland crops (potatoes, wheat, carrots) only need 2 plots while farming 4 at the same time horizontally on water. And pumpkins and melons require 4 plots to be fully infinite.

In Minecraft, just like your backyard garden, sugar cane thrives better with light. However, it doesn't need direct sunlight to grow. Any light source will do the trick, so don't worry about planting your sugar cane crops outdoors; they can grow indoors too, as long as there's enough light!

It will grow faster than wheat, as while wheat grows in stages, sugar cane will just grow another sugar cane block. Sugar cane grows at the same speed on either dirt and sand. Sugar cane that has a tall enough stalk can block a Skeleton's line of sight, preventing it from shooting at a player.

What is the best pattern to grow sugarcane in Minecraft? ›

Dig long horizontal trenches and plant sugar cane along the banks. This method isn't the best use of space, but it's very easy to harvest. Plant four sugar cane crops around a single tile of water. This technique is the best use of space but can often be a pain to harvest.

Sugar cane cannot be grown on Farmland. Instead, it has to be placed on a Grass, Dirt, Sand, or Red Sand block that is adjacent to water. It can spawn on Gravel but can't be placed on it. It will not grow on a block that is not next to water.

It takes four days for sugarcane to grow and, by watering it, you'll increase the amount of sugarcane you'll receive per plant. Sugarcane will grow automatically without being watered, but it will only wield a small harvest if you do this.

Sugarcane grows comparatively slowly in dry mass during both the early and the late part of its growth period. Rate of leaf production increases less with temperature than in other tall warm-climate grasses. This leads to a comparatively low rate of tillering, and a delayed start of stem elongation.

Each sett can shoot up to 12 stalks, forming what is known as the stool of sugarcane. In warm and sunny Queensland, it takes nine to 16 months to grow a cane crop. Growth is slower in cooler climates like NSW, where it takes 18 to 24 months to grow a cane crop.
