Detector Rail Bamboo Farm
The Short Answer
How Fast Is This Minecraft Bamboo Farm?
9,475 bamboo per hour from a single chunk at 20 TPS — 9,427 per Etho Hour once the rate is normalised for lag.
It harvests with a hopper minecart running on detector rails, so it uses no observers and no slime blocks. It is fully tileable, fits in one chunk, and survives chunk loading and unloading — the minecart simply resumes when the chunk reloads, with no reset needed.
Vanilla Minecraft Java 1.21.10+, no mods. Free world download.
