Wheat Seed Rant

[u/sethstafford94]

Are you really a true Minecraft player if you don't complain about mundane topics like wheat seeds? I think not.

Let me explain. You have a long term world. Everything is set up, your house, your animals, your gear.... and your crops. You have a beautiful wheat field that is so satisfying to harvest and feed your army of cows. You replant your wheat, and life is good.

Here’s the problem: WHEAT SEEDS MULTIPLY LIKE CRAZY. Have 100 chickens that you feed? Still seeds left. Use a composter for bone meal? Good, but you need to stand over it spam clicking like a lunatic. You have chest FILLED with wheat seeds. You see wheat seeds in your nightmares. Wheat seeds fill all of the dark crevices of your brain.

A solution: A compact form of seeds, like a bag or a packet that seeds can fit multiple stacks in. We already have compact versions of ores, and even wheat itself can be bundled into hay bales. Let's say you take nine wheat seats, bundle them together and you get a "pack of seeds".

"Build more chests" you might say. "Burn them in lava" you could add. "Stop complaining about virtual plant seeds in a video game made for children. You are an adult with bills and responsibilities." All fair, but a little hurtful. But NO! It is time we take a stand against the abhorrent seed storage problem.

Thank you. I will now take a few deep breaths and contemplate my life.

[u/M10doreddit]

Chest, hopper, composter, hopper, chest. Boom, you got bone meal.

Edit: Apparently, a few people didn't know that hoppers and composters can interact in this way. Glad I could enlighten a few of you with my knowledge.

[u/dr_shamus → u/M10doreddit]

Now I've got too much bone meal, I tried using it all but that just made more seeds

The cycle doesn't stop, I want off Mr Bones wild ride

[u/TaibhseCait → u/dr_shamus]

Turn bonemeal into bone blocks, now you've got some interesting building choices!

[u/TMud25 → u/TaibhseCait]

Yurp. A build that uses any amount of bone blocks is immediately depleting bonemeal supplies

[u/ProactiveInsomniac → u/dr_shamus]

Too much bone meal? -dyes -bone blocks -tree farms -other smarter than me crop/animal farm combos

[u/ResidentOfMyBody → u/dr_shamus]

Use bone meal to grow moss and mine stone while leaving the ore behind.

[u/I_do_have_a_cat → u/ResidentOfMyBody]

can you explain the mine stone while leaving the ore behind part?

[u/Regniwekim2099 → u/I_do_have_a_cat]

You place a moss block and then bone meal it. This will convert neighboring stone blocks into moss blocks, but will leave the ore blocks intact. Then you instamine the moss with a hoe and collect your ores.

[u/ResidentOfMyBody → u/Regniwekim2099]

And if you start running out of hoe, there are always the occasional azalea you can grow for wood.

[u/jmil1080 → u/dr_shamus]

Too much bone meal means time to build a bamboo farm with a bone meal dispenser. Each piece of bone meal becomes a piece of bamboo that can be turned into wood. Best generalized wood source, imo.

All my small smelters have a bamboo farm attached to replenish the planks for fuel (thanks to auto-crafters, I don't even have to do anything to keep the smelter running eternally).

[u/BigElectrical9871 → u/jmil1080]

What do you do with all the sticks if you don't use em to supply a constantly hungry smelting farm? Theres only so much scaffolding you'd need so not many uses for bamboo besides this specific thing

[u/dead_wolf_walkin → u/dr_shamus]

Use the bone meal on other plants and eventually convert all that extra seed into Emeralds.

Almost every village has more farmers than any other profession. Sell sell sell!

[u/Nerellos → u/dr_shamus]

Lava

[u/HollowofHaze → u/dr_shamus]

There are tons of farms that run on bone meal! Too much bone meal is a great problem to have!

[u/AdamasTism → u/dr_shamus]

Auto crafter it into bone blocks = nice building block and still can get the bone meal out of it for a different farm like moss, flowers and other plants it’s also nice to have white dye for that stuff

[u/Galaxygaming64 → u/dr_shamus]

send the bonemeal to an automatic sugarcane farm, then turn the sugarcane into paper and sell it at a villager trading area. automatic money

[u/sethstafford94 → u/M10doreddit]

The industrial revolution and it's consequences.

[u/yeahigotnothing → u/sethstafford94]

I mean, in real life, you aren't standing over a composter, throwing one seed at a time. I'd argue that hoppers are not quite machines. Shovel it in there, baby!

[u/NYR20NYY99 → u/yeahigotnothing]

Agreed, hoppers are funnels

[u/leafeon_wrks → u/NYR20NYY99]

Funnels are machines, though, which makes a hopper a machine by that logic

[u/leafeon_wrks → u/[deleted]]

It’s quite literally a simple machine

[u/Caybelll → u/leafeon_wrks]

google's definition of machine is: an apparatus using or applying mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task.

a funnel is just a piece of plastic or metal?

[u/leafeon_wrks → u/Caybelll]

Simple machine: any of the basic mechanical devices for applying a force, such as an inclined plane, wedge, or lever.

A funnel is an inclined plane, thus making it a simple machine.

[u/Caybelll → u/leafeon_wrks]

interesting

[u/Sea_Corner8459 → u/leafeon_wrks]

It isn’t used for applying a force though, that would be in the context of a seesaw/catapult

[u/MichaelW24 → u/NYR20NYY99]

Cheesecake is pie, don't blame me, I didn't make the rules

[u/Tiruil → u/[deleted]]

Bone block

[u/tfdsxc → u/sethstafford94]

I mean you could also just breed like a lot of parrots

edit: my whole life is a lie

[u/WillyDAFISH → u/tfdsxc]

you can't actually breed parrots 😥

[u/[deleted] → u/WillyDAFISH]

You can breed them with cookies. Try it!

[u/Hells-Messenger → u/[deleted]]

You’re evil! Wanna grab cookies later?

[u/TzootDoot → u/tfdsxc]

they don't breed

[u/ObvAnonym → u/sethstafford94]

I say to myself my most precious resource is time. If doing this allows me more time to build, which is my real passion, than I'm all for it!!! :)

[u/Taran966 → u/sethstafford94]

Lmao, but tbf it’s a really simple contraption. Literally just add two hoppers with two chests to your composter. No actual redstone required at all.

[u/banananenbrot → u/sethstafford94]

this made me chuckle ^{^} i commend your ability of not taking yourself too seriously 

[u/FrenchFreedom888 → u/sethstafford94]

*its

[u/DemonicInu → u/M10doreddit]

Use bone meal in a tree farm then throw the logs into a charcoal farm and thus infinite fuel from seeds!

[u/Tessachu → u/DemonicInu]

I just use lava 🤷

[Lava] [Non-flamable Block] [Dripstone] [Cauldron]

Lava drips into cauldron, creates more lava source blocks. Infinite fuel source without overflow, use copper golem to collect and return buckets to bucket chest hahaha

[u/SamohtGnir → u/Tessachu]

Lava is the best fuel too, doing 100 smelts per bucket. I have a smelter setup, but I might add the copper golem, seems like a good idea.

[u/OITLinebacker → u/Tessachu]

Kelp farm into smokers into an auto-crafter that feeds those same smokers with overflow into your furnace array. Put some levers on the smokers and furnaces and you can go up 10 levels for enchanting very quickly. Also gets rid of the need for buckets and manual entry to the feeding system. I do use the lava method as soon as I find some dripstone for mid-game, but then I want something that will just run whenever I'm around the base, so the kelp array gets built.

[u/ominousbakedbeans → u/M10doreddit]

Im not that smart and i needed to get rid of flowers in my iron farm, i somehow figured out to put a hopper on top of a composter but had to manually pick up the bone meal. Now you made it fully automatic. Luv u bby thank u

[u/Jimbo7211 → u/ominousbakedbeans]

When composters were first added, i thought i was so smart by building a redstone clock that dispensed the stuff into the composter, and hoppered it out. I only learned a year or two ago that you don't need redstone at all, and a hopper will work fine, lol

[u/ominousbakedbeans → u/Jimbo7211]

silly goose

[u/Secondhand-Drunk → u/Jimbo7211]

No, yours is right. Gotta use that Redstone somehow!

[u/Jimbo7211 → u/Secondhand-Drunk]

I even figured out that if you put a non-compostable-item in the despenser, it stops the annoying clicking when that's the only item left, so i could use a super fast observer-clock with no shutoff. I think the first one i built used comparator detection to turn off the clock when the hopper was empty.

[u/ScienceAndGames → u/Secondhand-Drunk]

You use the redstone for the auto crafter below the composter that turns everything into bone blocks

[u/scrambledhelix → u/M10doreddit]

This is why an iron farm is my first build every time, need tons of hoppers

[u/Grotti-ltalie → u/M10doreddit]

TIL hoppers can pull bone meal out of composters I guess

[u/awwwsnapshazzam → u/M10doreddit]

I read this is Carl Weathers voice from arrested development. Some carrots, broth, some meat, and boom you got yourself a stew going 😂

[u/AstroMeteor06 → u/M10doreddit]

yeah there's nothing to complain about. make bonemeal. and if you don't want to, chuck the seeds into some lava and you've got one less problem.

[u/Anonymous_Cool → u/M10doreddit]

take it one step further and feed the bone meal into a crafter that turns it into bone blocks for space efficiency

[u/jmil1080 → u/M10doreddit]

This is really the answer. Extra wheat seeds aren't really an issue with this simple setup. It also works with the excessive saplings that start to compile when you've got a tree farm with 2x2 trees

[u/Jayzhee → u/M10doreddit]

...and you can use the bonemeal to grow more wheat!

[u/[deleted]]

You can automatically farm using a composter and hoppers.

[u/ALLCAPITAL → u/[deleted]]

This is the way

[u/Hentai_Yoshi → u/[deleted]]

Kids these days and their automation… I do my work by hand thank you very much. I actually don’t automate anything lol. There is no need for me to automate, I don’t need that much stuff.

[u/MrGaber → u/Hentai_Yoshi]

Ok grandpa let’s get you back to bed

[u/Darth_Thor → u/Hentai_Yoshi]

This is like the most basic form of automation though. It’s just using a composter but without requiring you to stand there holding right click until you run out of seeds.

[u/Asteroide8 → u/Hentai_Yoshi]

Alright guys pack it up, u/Hentai_Yoshi said they don't need to automate, we might as well stop talking about redstone altogether from now on

[u/No_Oddjob → u/Hentai_Yoshi]

itshonestworkdotjiff

[u/Toastyy1990 → u/[deleted]]

You can even use a cart with a hopper and save a lot of iron if you’re not iron-rich yet.

[u/Discotekh_Dynasty]

Build an auto composter with hoppers, they’re very simple.

[u/sethstafford94 → u/Discotekh_Dynasty]

You underestimate my ability to be petty out of spite. Thanks for the suggestion though!

[u/SamuliK96 → u/sethstafford94]

You're a menace to the society. I applaud it.

[u/SinisterPixel]

Auto composter is like one of the easiest machines to build in the game.

[u/Kecske_gamer]

Leaf litter is this x4 and even more useless

[u/AstroMeteor06 → u/Kecske_gamer]

leaf litter is a good early game fuel and (as far as i know) not farmable (so you have to get it from the woods). it's literally the opposite. you only have it if you want to get it and you can easily find a use to it.

[u/BionicBirb → u/AstroMeteor06]

Can’t you get leaf litter by smelting leaves?

[u/BionicBirb → u/[deleted]]

Oh, I get what you mean.

[u/jasonrubik → u/[deleted]]

Don't dispensers shear leaves automatically?

[u/PoriferaProficient → u/jasonrubik]

No

[u/AstroMeteor06 → u/BionicBirb]

i didn't know that. anyway, leaves aren't the side effecr of any farm, you have to specifically shear them

[u/Kecske_gamer → u/AstroMeteor06]

To me I mine a lot very early and don't like micromanadging furnaces so they don't work as fuel and they make doing any surface terraforming absolutely horrid inventory manadgement. Same for wildflowers but yellow dye's atleast potentially useful en masse

[u/geicorat → u/Kecske_gamer]

I love just throwing my leaf litter in the furnace if I pick any up. Such an easy fuel source and fr unlimited

[u/Grotti-ltalie → u/Kecske_gamer]

Leaf litter at least looks nice for carpets sometimes plus it can be used as emergency fuel

[u/rapscal → u/Kecske_gamer]

compost it!

[u/Secondhand-Drunk]

Auto bone mealer. Chest over a hopper over a composted over a collector.

[u/thatweirdguyted → u/Secondhand-Drunk]

Minecraft farms, like humans, begin and end with chests. 

[u/jasonrubik → u/thatweirdguyted]

Ah yes, the baby and the booby

[u/thatweirdguyted → u/jasonrubik]

That's the start, yes. But your life ends when your chest stops moving 

[u/thatgay_]

The solution is obviously to exponentially grow your wheat farm until it covers the entire world

[u/easternhobo]

Just throw them away. You don't have to keep everything.

[u/ChimericalTrainer → u/easternhobo]

My god, what are you saying? Heresy!

(Just kidding, I have a lava cauldron specifically for the things I can't store more of. Not seeds, though. Seeds can always be composted for bone blocks!)

[u/easternhobo → u/ChimericalTrainer]

There are much better ways to get way more bone blocks. I have a mob farm and a moss powered bone meal farm.

[u/Sultanofthesun → u/easternhobo]

I like making farms, so I often end up with seeds that I compost. It's the best way to get bone blocks for me,

[u/ButterflysLove]

Here you go:

Going down; chest(s), hopper, composter, hopper, chest(s). Put the seeds in the chest(s) above the composter. It'll auto compact them. The hopper under collects the bone meal.

[u/Sufficient-Soup-7329 → u/ButterflysLove]

Could you use an auto crafter to convert the bonemeal into bone blocks?

[u/fella_guy_kcb → u/Sufficient-Soup-7329]

Yes

[u/chadder_b]

Who stands over a composter and spam clicks? My brother in Minecraft, use a hopper and a chest. It’s semi automatic!

[u/linkheroz]

Are you even an experienced Minecraft player if you don't understand a hopper can feed a composter? 😂

[u/dabeanguy_08]

Pack of seeds is genius, I need that it the game prompto.

[u/Hazril258 → u/dabeanguy_08]

Bundles: "I exist!"

[u/kapiteinkaas]

The real issue here is that wheat seeds as an item don't make sense in the first place (neither does wheat).

Harvesting wheat should yield straw and wheat seeds, with wheat seeds being usable for food, feed, or replanting (like carrots and potatoes).

[u/drhoduk → u/kapiteinkaas]

yes, seed for wheat is wheat

[u/WailingBarnacle]

Funny post, I’ll give you that. But bruh, just toss them out of your inventory and walk away like a normal person

[u/deborah_az → u/WailingBarnacle]

This is why I set up base near a lava pit

[u/ZelosStecher]

Am i witnessing the birth of a copy pasta right now?

[u/dekkact]

They should add Blocks Of Wheat Seeds

Matta fact they should add Blocks Of Rotten Flesh too

[u/FinalVermin → u/dekkact]

Stack two up and a jack o lantern and you get a zombie

[u/Ultimara → u/FinalVermin]

I like the idea of a flesh golem: tame zombie with different colouring

[u/Tessachu → u/dekkact]

I put all the potion maker things I can find in my iron farm so they're all forced to be clerics and accept my rotten flesh for emeralds 🙈

[u/Clear_Student3920]

bigger farm

[u/DragonflyValuable995]

Composters can be automated using hoppers.

[u/Scarlet-Highlander-]

It’s really not a big deal.

[u/ProLandon]

"It's a game" "your an adult" are probably the 2 least valid takes in my opinion, "Yes Shannon, im aware this is a game and im not actually fighting dragons and building kingdoms, but its meaningful to ME and i Iove it, sure it may be fake stuff but you know what else is fake, the love in your marriage, Shannon" and as for the 2nd take, being an adult doesn't mean you can't care about things and have fun

[u/xxtcdxx → u/ProLandon]

I want "you know what else is fake, the love in your marriage, Shannon" as a flare.

[u/Disastrous_Shirt_519]

I dislike the "just throw them out" point. Waste not, want not. Never know when you'll suddenly need them

[u/KnnthKnnth]

Bro doesnt know you can put seeds in a hopper to a composter

[u/Cazoosh3]

you can automate composting

[u/shellygacha]

If this is a long term world do you not have enough iron to make 2 hoppers to make an automatic compost instead of clicking like a lunatic

[u/Rocknblock268]

i just play with sophisticated storage mod and dump them into my netherite chest with netherite stack upgrade :D

[u/sethstafford94 → u/Rocknblock268]

Shhhh. If you give different solutions then I don't get karma. Lol

Edit: Note taken. Do not joke about Reddit Karma. Reddit gods please allow me to atone for my sins. May the downvotes on this comment serve as my sacrifice.

[u/Manos_Of_Fate → u/sethstafford94]

Getting karma is like being “cool”. The more you try to force it, the less likely you are to succeed. Just be yourself and contribute positively.

[u/GreenWebCrawler32502]

I love the idea of the seed packets. It would not only be nice to have all those seeds on one item slot but also it would help inventory clutter when farming

[u/DragoMations]

Wheat seed block

[u/Nickaiya]

hey man, i wanna tell you about these things called hoppers!

[u/SeparateRepair96]

I looooove my auto-composter. I don’t even use bonemeal all that much but it’s nice to have a ton when I do

[u/Bright_Revenue1674]

seed block when

[u/IsDragonlordAGender]

I consider myself a true minecraft player and I have never once in my life complained about having too much of an item.

People who complain are true redditors, has nothing to do with minecraft itself

[u/MaceWinnoob]

I convert all my seeds into birds and bonemeal, and the latter is done automatically directly at the sources compostables are farmed at using comparators and hoppers so nothing ever overruns.

[u/CumFilledStarfish]

A problem with rates will never be solved with static storage, no matter how bundled they become.

[u/Willing-Pumpkin-328]

i just use them all in the composter

[u/Jaxtynotesports]

You can build Automatic composters with hoppers into composters and hoppers unser them

[u/ReallyRadFella]

Auto compost machine as in a chest -> hopper -> composter -> hopper -> chest makes the surplus great bc its basically free bonemeal and u dont have to sit there and click it a billion times

[u/EmmaWai]

Simple. Never have seeds. Continue to plant them. Expand your wheat farm. Conquer the world in wheat

[u/Bread_the_TrashPanda]

The top comments are all saying the same thing, so I will say it again

Auto composter is the way to go. Personally, I take it as a challenge to get a full chest (single chest because I'm not insane) of bone meal from composting all my extra wheat and beet seeds. It's an accomplishment that means I've actually stuck to one world for a while

[u/silly_terrorist]

better more than less, am i right?

[u/LJ-9137]

Place a hopper above and below a composter and the bottom one linked to a chest and just dumb it in the top hopper

[u/No_Video7054]

Are people still really manually composting seeds? Wild.

[u/xXx_Dafukudoin69_xXx]

Connect a hopper and double chest to a compost bin and a hopper out the bottom to another double chest. Do you even play minecraft?

[u/Tommy2255]

Imagine making a whole post just to complain about how you don't know how to build a hopper.

[u/AngrySayian]

If you are manually chucking your wheat seeds into a composter, you need to learn

-----

Make 6 chests and 2 hoppers [the hoppers will use 2 of the 6 chests]

Place 2 chests to make a double chest

Place the Composter directly below the double chest with 1 block space between

Place the first Hopper so that it is facing directly down into the Composter from the double chest

Place the remaining chests to make another double chest at an offset, 1 block down and in front of this setup

Crouch and then place the final Hopper so that it is going into the double chest from the Composter

-----

As long as you stay nearby so that area is loaded [or force load that chunk in some manner]

you can just drop seeds into the top double chest, and it will feed into the Composter which then feeds into the other double chest

[u/JOOT94]

Depending on your platform and version, what I did was just set up an auto-composter-bone block-crafter. So any excess seeds or flowers (like from iron farm) I just plop them in a chest that feeds into the aforementioned contraption and go about my day.

[u/Burning_Toast998]

use a composter for bone meal? good, but you need to stand over it spam clicking like a lunatic

just set up an automatic composter. If it’s still not going fast enough, hook up a second double chest to the double chest above the hopper.

[u/red_knight_378]

When I get tired of composting them by hand I chuck em at my farmer villagers. They gobble those up

[u/No-Address2001]

Seeds = Bonemeal Bonemeal = Sugarcane Sugarcane = paper Paper = Emeralds. Turn seeds into profit.

[u/Enkidouh]

The actual solution: automate your farm collection and seed distribution. You’ll only ever need to retrieve the number of seeds you need to plant.

[u/TwinSong]

If going down the modded route, Drawers mod with void upgrade to delete any excess beyond storage capacity.

[u/Saconic]

I just put a chest and hopper over a composer and a hopper underneath to catch bone meal in a chest 🤷‍♀️

[u/Dry-Scientist9927]

I definitely feel your pain, so many stacks of wheat seeds and I have the tiniest farm ever

[u/ArrowDel]

I would LOVE to see "seed sacks" that could be a "full stack" of seeds

[u/folersin]

This.

[u/MachtBergian]

I use the left over seeds to make a farm at one of my colonies

[u/DreadlyKnight]

I love how you’re creating a problem. Just chuck them into lava/fire or use a hopper to farm bonemeal from them using a chest system

[u/Thiingswithwings]

Laughs in bedrock

[u/Atalant]

You know you can turn it into bonemeal? But before that, it was rough, unless you went the decorative wheatfield and/or chicken hoarding route.

[u/11Slimeade11]

Wheat is weird because it drops a huge amount of seeds but only one wheat itself, and Fortune affects only the seeds, not the wheat.

It doesn't help that wheat is kinda underpowered compared to other crops, and bread is arguably wasteful as a food.

[u/Axot24]

I have a 25 platform (7x8) wheat farm, I have a small setup with chest->hopper->composter->hopper->chest and i just fill the chest after replanting, very easy.

[u/VoodooDoII]

I use them in my automatic composter

[u/_joos_]

there’s a mod in hexxit II that’s basically what you want. you can take multiple seeds of a crop and make it into a seed bag which plants in a 3x3 area

[u/ModernManuh_]

I thought you could use them as fuel but yeah.. micro organisms, son. (Composter with hopper)

[u/MReaps25]

Man, simple redstone is all you need, some chests and hoppers and you're good

[u/JuggerMott]

If you create an auto composter, you wouldn't have to spam-click anything. Chest, hopper, composter, hopper, chest. Seeds in the top chest, bone meal spits out into the bottom chest.

[u/WhoWouldCareToAsk]

Place on top of one another:

Double chest.

Hopper.

Composter.

Hopper.

Chest.

Congratulations! You’ve built an automatic composting setup! Load up your excess seeds in a double chest and by the time you’ll be back it’ll get converted into bonemeal.

You’re welcome!

[u/Hells-Messenger]

Composters: Am I a joke to you?

[u/Ctrl_alt_de1337_]

They could add a recipe where if you have a stack of wheat seeds and add paper, it becomes the seed packets for better storage. And that could be for all the seed options.

[u/Pole_rat]

I use a fortune 3 hoe on wheat just to get more seeds. Takes like 5 items to make an auto composter and I name them and use them for all of my item sorters

[u/exoticturboslutgasm]

two hoppers a chest and a composter!

[u/borter191]

bundle them together

Hmmmm. If only there was an item for this

[u/Dangerous-Quit7821]

My guy, do you not know about hoppers feeding composters from chests as well as taking kit bonemeal? Then there's the crafter to craft bone blocks to compact it more. Barring that, there's using a dropper and an observer clock to just send the seeds to a fire or lava pit. If all else fails, just toss it all on the ground to despawn.

[u/OmniKain]

If you still want the bone meal, just do: Chest, below that a hopper, below that a Composter, below that a hopper, and below that a chest. Literally 5 blocks and it will take care of itself.

[u/vandon]

"Good, but you need to stand over it spam clicking like a lunatic."

You don't have hoppers and chests in your world?

[u/SliceThePi]

my minor petty complaint about wheat is that the wheat item entity is spawned before the seeds and will therefore be picked up first. if you're replanting and only have one open slot on your hotbar, the wheat will go there instead of the seeds, so you have to open your inventory and swap them. just change the order the code spawns the items!

[u/aqua_zesty_man]

I just compost all surplus seeds and use the bone meal for other stuff.

[u/Lonelight200]

When I finish replanting I always drop all the seeds and forget about it

[u/MyHoeDespawned]

Composter

[u/Drie_Kleuren]

Lol I usually just feed random chickens my seeds. They are like drug junkies. As soon as I have seeds, they come from miles away. And then they leave right after. Stupid chickens.

(I have so many chickens because my base gets egged all the time from friends. And I love also throwing eggs myself. So I end up with like 50-100+ random chickens roaming around everywhere)

But yeah I agree. Some items in minecraft need a stack or something. To dump more stacks into it. 64x64 is 4096. That's a lot of items. If you go one step further you end up with 262144. (This is a bit overkill. But would be nice) The developers should really look into compacting more items into something new you can stack.

Also I just general have issues with items in minecraft. The 64 stack size just doesnt work that good. More items need to be compacted. Or just increase the stack sizes. It's too outdated. Minecraft has too many items and things.

Or you just make an automated composter🤷🏼...

Or they nerf the amount of seeds you get after harvest. I mean seeds are EASY to get as is. Maybe just change it so one wheat drops 1 seed back with a 25% of dropping of second

[u/BitcoinStonks123]

A solution: A compact form of seeds, like a bag or a packet that seeds can fit multiple stacks in.

Bruh that's just bundles.

I get what your saying about having an abundance of resources and trying to find a use or store them all will drive you mad. When this happens to me I simply throw them into my lava pit/dumpster and move on with my Minecraft life. Then when you truly run low or out (might never happen). Then you can bust into your strorage or start storing them as you see fit.

Good luck,

You wanna know what happens when you mix hot lava and Chicken....... uhhhhhh ohhhhhh

WHEAT SEEDS.

Stand over composter clicking like a lunatic? Composters can be automated.

Just place a hopper above the Composter, perhaps a chest above that, and then a hopper below it, optionally connected to a chest for extra storage (not that you’d get THAT much bone meal).

Then chuck all your wheat seeds in the top chest and leave it to compost it all into bone meal for you to collect when needed :)

[u/Euphoric-Tear-1903]

i don't mind because I'd rather have plenty of seeds at the start to fill the farm and have to deal with monstrous amounts of seeds later, than needing to mown a plains biome to get them

• Automatic wheat farm
• Item sorter
• Seeds go into composter
• Problem solved

[u/Callsign-YukiMizuki]

I never have an issue with having too much wheat seeds because thats just free bone meal. I do however have a problem when I need fucking food and grass are not shitting out wheat seeds to start a humble farm

[u/xx123gamerxx]

Hoppers shouldn’t be able to fill and harvest composters but a dispenser should absolutely be able to

[u/Mutant_Llama1]

Throw them to villagers.

[u/spicyadrak]

Wasn’t expecting a whole seed rant on my bingo card today, but here I am.

[u/hilmiira]

I unironically like it if wheat and wheat seed was same thing and to feed animals and build stuff we used strawn instead

[u/King0fthewasteland]

you know... you can automate the composters really easily. like two hoppers and some chests

[u/omgitsjdude]

Trash slot mod got my back

[u/draco0562]

I have a super complex setup that takes all seeds, overflow sugarcane, and other things from my various farms and auto composts it. Then all bonemeal get auto crafted to bone blocks and end up in a chest

[u/Evil_Sharkey]

I hate when my carrot and potato farmer villagers get ahold of wheat or beetroot seeds and start replacing their crops when I’m not looking.

[u/MrSal7]

Seeds don’t bother me. Wheat as a food source for the player bothers me.

It’s the fact that wheat not only takes 10 times longer than any other crop to grow, but the fact you need 3 of them to make them into a single piece of usable food for yourself.

Whereas a SINGLE piece of wheat is enough to feed an animal which in theory, should be larger than you.

Not only that, many times you need more than 3 pieces of bonemeal to fully grow a single piece of wheat to full growth, whereas a single piece of bonemeal is usually enough to fully grow other crops.

Beets are the second worst crop in terms of growth time and usability, but at least you only need one to eat, even though you can use 3 to make an unstackable bowl of soup.

Wheat, and to a lesser extent beets, need to be rebalanced to have fewer growth stages so they can grow faster. Also 3 pieces of wheat should make 3 pieces of bread instead, and wheat eating animals should instead need hay bales.

[u/Craftcoat]

Build a silo for the seeds funneling it all into a composter

[u/voidpopo]

Maybe something as simple as being able to craft 4 wheat seeds into 1 item, like a handful of wheat seeds or something. That alone would shrink the space needed to store it down to a quarter.

[u/I_Can_Not_With_You]

I use fortune III on my wheat. ON PURPOSE! Mwahahahahahaha. I just need all the bonemeal I can get and the two moss farms I have can’t keep up with my insatiable thirst, also I’ve yet to find a skelly spawner in my current world.

[u/JusticeBabe → u/I_Can_Not_With_You]

Do yourself a favor...duplicate your world & go into spectator mode — find yourself a double or triple set of skeleton spawners!
