so i'm starting a new challenge, like the one hour diamond challenge.
this time it's wood. given that wood is that one item that no one ever has enough of and is fairly annoying to collect, i want to see who has the most efficient farm and mining style.
rules:
1. as short or as long a time as you want. but i would recommend at least 15 minutes or so to ensure the variance of your estimate is low
2. you should leave your farm as you entered it. so if your usual strategy is to chop down a bunch of trees and then replant, you need to count the replanting time. if you're doing it in a forest and don't usually replant, then you don't need to count replanting time. if you like to use tnt to blow up trees, better count the time you spent setting up the tnt. etc.
3. measure rates in items/minute for easy comparison
----
anyway i tested my old tree farm from like 2012 and got around 97 wood / minute. since i spent around 10-20% of the time climbing ladders, i feel like using an enderpearl elevator would probably increase efficiency by 5-10%. other than that, the design is pretty solid, although it's a very simple plant and harvest farm.
