	Because bamboo breaks in almost the same way as [[Minecraft:sugar cane]], [[Minecraft:Tutorials/Sugar cane farming\|a sugar cane farm]] can be easily adapted to this use. While water is not needed with such a farm, some spacing is recommended if the harvest is done manually as mature stalks are solid. Flowing water makes it a lot easier to collect the bamboo though and eliminates the need for space between them for collection.

Flowing water makes it a lot easier to collect the bamboo though and eliminates the need for space between them for collection.

	Bamboo can be farmed infinitely in a closed cycle even without automation, as a [[Minecraft:wooden sword]] can break 30 bamboo plants, but only costs 11 bamboo to make, thus enabling the player to farm 330 to 450 bamboo per sword ([11 to 15] × 30). A crafting table is required to make the bamboo blocks and the sword.
