Greetings to you all!
minecraft_cactus_gets_no_love__by_germzr-d4a4ccr.jpg
I bring you my newest project, the biggest cactus full auto cactus farm.
And here I will bring you my plans for it! Woho, be happy.

Backstory!
Spoiler! :
Back when we only had 1 world, Terra, I build my first giant cactus farm, full auto, but at that time the farm was poorly planned and people lagged to death just being there.
I tore it down... and made my bigger and much better cactus farm, about 4-5 times as big.

But now it is time for a giant. full. auto. cactus. farm.

And here you have some info about it,

The farm in itself will be 53x49 and bedrock to hight limit.

This will mean,
30x30 cacti on each floor = 900
One floor is 4 blocks high.
That will say 58 floors.
Making a total of 52,200 cactus in the farm.

Material info.
  • Cactus = 52,200 = 815 stacks
  • Redstone torch = 52,200 = 815 stacks
  • Repeters = 450 = 7 stacks
  • Pistons = 52,200 = 815 stacks/15 Double Chests
    OR 90 Stacks of Iron Blocks and 90 Stacks of Redstone Blocks
  • Sand = 52,200 = 815 stacks
  • Netherbrick =52,200 = 815 stacks

The work place
