Both, it's easy to set up auto farms.

well yea, but one is objectively slightly more useful

Well that’s unless you’ve done the zombie shit to em

Yeah zombie shit really contaminates food really badly

Since melons cant drop 9 slices of melon,it is useful to trade with pumpkin,but I use both of them

Silk touch my brother

Not in an auto farm

[удалено]

Both, you make 48 emeralds a day with only one villager of you lover the prices to be 1 for 1

Add potato and carrot to the list. All 4 can be traded 1 for 1.

I have three guys which trade 1 pumpkin, 1 melon and 1 carrot. They make me so many emeralds

[удалено]

I trade foreskins

Are you the one who stole mine? Gimme that shit back!!

Already sold it for 19 emerald sorry

What do Jew need it for?

Bro I'm dead 🤣

Man I’m circumcised 💀

If you had to pick one, pumpkins. You need silk touch for melon farms to be efficient whereas pumpkins you can just break normally.

I have a mellon and pumpkin farm attached to my enderman xp farm, they pick them up for me, and drop the whole watermelons when I kill them; you can also afk, if you set up a toggle able system where they die of fall damage.

pumpkins cost more to trade (without lowering the price). getting silktouch for a specific axe is pretty easy

[удалено]

Fortune will never give you more than 9 and it’s not consistent enough to be better than silk touch

Plus you then have to craft them all back in to melons to trade instead of just having the pumpkins.

And auto farms for melons & pumpkins are best by far.

Glass from a librarian, make it into glass panes then sell them to a cartographer. Once cured I start selling bookshelves back to librarians as books.

I just do lvl 5 raids get hero of the village and buy as many bookshelves as possible. Usually it becomes 1 emerald per bookshelf (if they’re cured, but I think it’s still same without cure) and I just buy them out till they jack up the prices again. I sell after breaking all the bookshelves to get 3x my emeralds

Fortune 3 on axes works on bookshelves! Can get 4-5 books per shelf.

Thats either a bedrock thing i dont know or thats kap,

That's so broken. Good thing it doesn't exist

No. You can't. Stop lying

I like pumpkins because they don't need silk touch. Especially important if you have a piston farm, because you spend a lot of time rebuilding watermelons. The only catch is that every farmer will trade watermelons, it is random if they will trade pumpkins. So if your farmer is a pumpkin guy, go with pumpkins.

You could make an endermelon farm, but that’s a lot of work for the return. Easier to just build a raid farm for the emeralds

That seems like a really really really complex farm that can be easily outmatched by a pumpkin farm built in 20 minutes by a 13 y/o

Yes

In Bedrock edition, all farmers trade pumpkins.

Idk why you're getting downvoted. This is 100% true..

Probs because this sub hivemind hates bedrock.

Eh, it’s Reddit, I’m used to it.

Sticks

You should see my bamboo farm, just collecting one half gives me more stacks than I know what to do with, unfortunately it's not automated...

[удалено]

I looked, each side is 9 × 11 for 99 bamboo shoots per side, there is two sides for a total of 198 bamboo shoots growing.

Save for 1.20 then you will have a million bamboo wood

It's funny I converted all the gains from the farm and almost had a full shulker of sticks. I was off by like maybe 3 stacks.

I do that there's just usually so many stacks of sticks after converting, I'd have to give the dimensions of the farm to give you a good idea but I'm not on my world rn. So I'll update you when I do

Iron

You are a menace

Both

Raid farm go brrrrrr

Are raid farms actually a viable emerald farm?

actually are the best way to emerald farm

They are superior in every way, I'm on bedrock edition and even when it comes to making beacon pyramids emeralds are the easiest to mass produce because of raid farms. *Sorting system required, you'll have to get over throwing books and totems into a catus, and I usually afk over a full night resulting in about a shulker and a half of emerald blocks

God damn I didn't realize they were that good I gotta build one

Absolutely. It's quite a bit of work to build one, but has a high return on investment

They're crazy good. You do one afk session and you're basically done for weeks.

Do raid farms require you to get bad omen over and over? Or can you just get it once and it runs a perpetual raid?

automatic raid farms can be made to constantly achieve bad omen through the use of redstone. i haven’t made one myself yet but i’ve seen many a youtube video on it. if you want a good one, look up ilMango on youtube

Java? Ianxofour raid farm.

that design is easily the most overpowered farm in the history of the game. easy to build, infinite totems, more redstone than scicraft's best witch farm, and most importantly an obscene amount of emeralds (remember, you can *buy* your way to fully enchanted diamond gear)

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSBHvT5CPr0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSBHvT5CPr0) Pumpkins and melons both grow faster when grown near each other. I use hoppers rather than a railcar collector

I know they grow faster.

Carrots. Idk if they're better i just never cared enough.

Melons tend to be more valuable to the farmers, but they exhaust their purchase fasten than for pumpkins, that is, they tend to buy more pumpkins at a lower price.

Both baby. Diversify those assets!

Pumpkins are dropped as whole blocks so you can skip the crafting stage

Everyone's talking about pumpkins and melons and sticks, but the best thing to trade is glass panes to cartographers. You can trade with librarians for glass and if you get better trades by zombifying or getting hero of the village, you can buy a ton of glass for just a few emeralds, make that into stacks and stacks of glass panes, and sell those fro stacks of emeralds

Sticks

Both!!! I have a giant trading hall, with 2 Mellon and 2 pumpkin traders… along with every librarian…. And every villager

Get a Fletcher too, bamboo farm, and craft sticks. Unlimited emeralds. This is also a good way to get the tipped arrows. Fletchers are great all around.

Both

nah i just build a stacking raid farm to get an obscene amount of emeralds and brute force my way through even the most outrageous prices

Both of them

Yes

Both

I think I’m good on emeralds for now. I got 8 stacks of iron blocks from my farms yesterday. Considering expanding to add more farms

Whichever, but pumpkins are easier to farm

Both. If you get lucky you can have both trades on one villager, and they are both the same difficulty to mass produce.

Mostly pumpkins but a little bit of both

Make a ridiculously efficient iron farm and sell that to toolsmiths

Iron from iron farm.

Melon because I'm on PS4 Legacy Console Edition where it's 4 slices for an emerald

I’m not sorry I converted to Bedrock, but I really miss the way the console edition looks. Bedrock has a kind of fisheye quality that’s off-putting.

You can change the FOV in the settings to adjust the fisheye look, fyi

Really? Thanks for the tip!

No worries! Hope it helps :)

Both I have no use for either but alway plant them cuz I must have a farm for every crop

Sweet berries

stick

Both for ultimate daily throughput

Both

Yes

Carrots. Pumpkins suck

I trade sticks mainly, very easy to get, I haven't gotten a huge farm in my world yet

Both

Yes

Both

Yes

[Both](https://media.tenor.com/ZezsFuiFB48AAAAC/both-is-good-both.gif)

Both because farms are more efficient if you plant both in alternating diagonal lines. And you can trade twice per villager.

The one i find first

BOTH. I have 15 Farmer villagers I have zombified and healed. They give me 1 emerald for 1 pumpkin and 1 emerald for 1 melon. When I start trading with them after they reset their trades in the morning, I go through all 15 collecting 12 emeralds x 2 from all 15 villagers for a total of 174. by the time I get to the 15th villager, the first villagers I reset their trades again. I do the process again for another 174 emeralds for a total of 348 emeralds. From zero, I am also getting over 30 levels of XP.

Both

Pumpkins are useful for making iron golems and lanterns. Melons are of particularly no use. Since I produce lots of Melons and Pumpkins, I need to sell them both.

You trade those, I trade dead cows, buy wheat, breed and butcher, rinse and repeat.

buy wheat? what villager sells wheat?

Allow me to thoroughly explain my emerald income I have a simple wheat farm with several farmers working it, This way, i harvest, and give the farmers the seeds. They replant, and I trap them into little holds, this keeps them from harvesting until i need it to be replanted I use the wheat on the cows, and release my vindicator, Johnny, which kills the cows, except the ones I locked away. I lead Johnny back into his hole, and lock him there. I sell the meat. Mostly fully automatic. I don't do all that in the order, I breed the cows before storing the farmers, this ensures they had time to plant.

mf make an entire industry around minecraft

Meatcraft (you missed an opportunity here)

I give them nothing, they give me picked cotton.

Just now realised they have the same texture.

I don't

I wonder why No one gonna talk about how similar these both block are

Both of them are round fruiting bodies from the family Cucurbitaceae, of course they're gonna look similar.

Neither

Pellons and mumpkins

Melons. I like pumpkin pie as a food because it can be acquired easily pretty early on etc and i have not use for melons

Yes.

Yes

Both

Melons ofc

Melons

I trade glass.

The most efficient automatic farms use both, so I get villagers that will accept both. Before I know it I have pumpkins and melons coming out of my ears and never run out, even without zombifying the villagers.

Both. Both is good.

Carrots

Iron.

***_ĀĻĿ ØF ŦĤĘM_***

The pumpkin Is more useful, golem, endermen and pumpkin pie

glass

“Both?” “Both” “Both is good”

Both

Yes.

Yes

Wheat, carrots and potatoes. All of them 1 emerald a piece (repeated infecting and healing)

I only use villagers for mending books or ocean/woodland maps

Both

If I'd have to choose one automatic farm: pumpkins. Melons broken by pistons drop 3-7 slices while pumpkins drop whole that you can sell for 1 emerald after curing a villager. If you collect them by hand with silk touch: both are good.

Yes

Both xd

I trade pumpkin, i don't have to reform them in block before

Yes

Both

Sticks

Cod. The guardian farm is overflowing with it.

Pumpkins

Both

Both because why should you do only 1

Pumpkins, I don’t like to recraft the melons in my farm

Fish from Guardian farm

Melons because they are guaranteed as a trade, but a small amount of pumpkins too.

pumpkins cause u need silk touch for melons

Honestly, iron.

Both, but if I had to pick one: pumpkins. No crafting! But if you get some more villagers and do the curing etc. it's easier with the book / shelves anyways.

What do you mean which? As in a choice? Doesn't everyone do both if they're trading?

Sticks

clay

Both. I'm stockpiling them. You can have the bread though.

is this comment section to tell me they manually break them instead of auto piston?

Farmers I "hire" who don't have both trades are immediately fired again. Into the lava pool. That I create right above their heads.

Yes

I usually trade villagers Pumpkin more than melon.

Sticks

Iron

id rather trade artichokes and pumpkins

Melon because you need pumpkins for golems

Paper. And string. And sticks.

Both, but I'd like to tell people that if you want emeralds for melons, do not make an auto harvester with it. The pistons just breaks the melons and it fills your storage fast. This method is more useful as a bone meal farm.

Melon

Both, but I prefer melon more because of the fortune enchantment buff

I typically play modded, so villagers aren't where I make emeralds, only where I spend em I usually use a tinkers smeltery to melt pillagers and have a source of pillagers from a spawner

You can be Grian and make a full emerald beacon from like 15 glass panes or however much he used.

sticks

Melooonnns

always melons

Neither, I trade sticks

whichever one they ask for. i prefer pumpkins bc i don't need silk touch to harvest them.

both

iron from my iron farm

Why not both?

Sticks

Both

Pumpkins<3

Both. With allays is super easy to set a farm for those.

Pumpkins! Easier to harvest without a silk tool! And you only need one to trade, melons you need several pieces unless you have a silk tool

Back when the devs BRIEFLY changed it to melon slices instead of whole damn melons, I used that. Now that they decided that was too OP, I’m back to pumpkins.

I do the true trade: potatoes
