Farming is another great profession villagers can take up. Farmer villagers can work in a crop farm since they can automatically harvest crops and plant seeds. After harvesting, they can drop those crops in a collection area as well. This way, players can create an automatic crop farm.

Furthermore, they can buy various crops like wheat, carrots, and beets. If players create a crop farm with carrots and beets, they can simply collect them from the storage and sell those very crops to the farmers to earn emeralds. This will change how they can create a great emerald farm from a crop farm.
