Create a Renewable Resource Farm Using Anvil Crushing

Setting Up an Automated Crusher

Anvil crushing can generate renewable resources like deepslate and packed ice. To automate this, you'll need redstone, pistons, and a repeating setup.

Basic Farm Design

1. Create a platform where blocks will spawn or be placed (depending on your target resource).

2. Position an anvil above using a piston or by stacking blocks.

3. Set up a piston to push the anvil downward onto the block below.

4. Add redstone with a repeater to cycle the piston on and off.

5. Collect output with hoppers beneath the crushing area.

Optimization Tips

• Use a clock circuit (repeating redstone pulse) to automate the crushing cycle.
• Stack multiple crushing stations vertically to process more blocks simultaneously.
• Place hoppers and chests below to collect crushed results automatically.
• Ensure the source blocks respawn or are supplied by another farm for true renewability.

Testing Your Farm

Start small with one anvil and one block type. Once you confirm the recipe works, expand the design. Monitor the output to ensure your farm is producing resources at a useful rate.
