    Hello!
    This tutorial is going to teach you how to build an automated cactus farm.

    DIFFICULTY: | | | | | VERY EASY

    Step 1: MATERIALS
    For every cactus you want to plant, you are going to need:
    • A chest
    • Some hoppers
    • Some blocks
    • 1x sand
    • 1x cactus
    • 1x fence
    Step 2: BUILD!
    NOTE: You can look at the screenshots attached for guidelines.
    1. First things first, we need to build a layer of hoppers linked up to a chest. Build it however large you want.
    2. Next, we need to build up walls using your choice of block. It needs to be high enough so that cactus doesn't fall over the edge.
    3. We now need to build a grid of blocks, as seen in the pictures. Place sand on each block.
    4. Finally, place a fence two blocks above and one block to the side of each sand block, before planting the cactus. We're done!

    Step 3: EXTEND!
    When extending, you might want to acknowledge the fact that it can be difficult to obtain all of the required hoppers for this build; you can use water instead:

    Thank you for reading, and I hope that you find this tutorial helpful!
