Today I will show you how to make an egg farm.
To begin, make a 3x4 hole, 3 blocks deep.
This hole can be any size you choose, anwhere from 1x1 to 100x100, just be sure to have the hole 3 blocks deep!
Pardon the lag :P
You may want to fence the pit off after you're done.
Next, we will make the 'grinder'.
Dig a hole on one end of the pit from one side to the other. This one will be three blocks wide.
I'm digging out other blocks to make the collection point.
You will need water blockers (Sign, ladder, pressure plates, etc.)
I will be using wooden pressure plates, as they can be triggered by the falling eggs.
Now to make a way in and out of the collection area.
You can do this many different ways, such as: ladders, water elevator, etc.
Next we will place three water blocks across the width of the pit opposite of the water blockers (the pressure pads).
This completes the actual trap, from here place chickens in as possible via pushing them in, or throwing eggs. I will perform the latter.
You're supposed to be in the trap!
After 5-10 minutes, your chickens will begin to lay eggs. For our sake, I'm going to throw eggs in, to save time.
There you go! From here your collection of chickens can grow exponentially.
Be aware, however, that if you stray too far from the trap, some or all of the chickens may despawn.
Please ask any questions in the comments so they're available for all to see! Thanks for watching!
