Potato Farm

This may look excessive, but typically potato farms are an essential part of the world. We use them to trade with villagers for emeralds, which then can be used to buy many necessary items like armor, enchanted books, weapons, etc.

The design of the potato farm is something I came up with a couple of years ago, and it draws inspiration from several common potato farm designs. I basically wanted a trader in the middle to trade with 4 villagers in each direction. After a lot of testing, this design takes care of everything I want. And although the storage system is a bit bloated, it serves its purpose and never clogs!

Storage system

The middle villager does not pick up any potatoes thrown at him. Instead, the hoppers underneath him pick up the potatoes and filter through the storage system. Hoppers extend to the side and all merge into a single lane, and eventually rotten potatoes are sorted out and thrown into lava.
