How Farmly works
A small, hand-checked set of Minecraft farms beats a thousand random links. Here is what that means in practice, and how the score on every farm is worked out.
What goes into the score
Every farm gets one number out of 10, built from four measured parts rather than a gut feeling. Production is scored against other farms of the same type on the same edition, and every farm page has a ? button that shows the exact arithmetic behind its own score.
How much the farm makes per hour, measured over a full hour on a fresh world. Compared only against other farms of the same type on the same edition.
How hard it is to put together, redstone included. Simpler builds score higher, because a farm you never finish produces nothing.
How expensive and how tedious the shopping list is. Cheap, farmable materials score higher than a stack of obsidian and a wither cage.
How often it jams, breaks on a restart, or needs babysitting. Set-and-forget farms score higher.
Tell us what you measured and we will re-test it. Ratings change when the game does.
