Improved Gravel Farm

[Lime]

Ik this was kinda looked into vaguely on the old forum, but I think it would be nice to have an above ground gravel farm. Why? It's not a problem for me considering I have aqua-affinity and efficiency V, but some people don't have aqua-affinity, so it can be really hard to farm gravel. A lot of people will probably think 'well the gravel isn't above ground', but gravel has a whole biome dedicated to it - Gravelly Mountains. This is official in the Gamepedia Minecraft Wiki too :p

I think having a gravelly mountain themed farm would just be way easier for people to gather gravel and to farm it, as I literally had to buy all of my gravel before I got aqua-affinity - I think this would be a useful change for new players needing this sort of block to say, make concrete.

I so understand where this is coming from too.
I have scuba, Eff V and DS boots and can stay under indefinitely, which makes it easier for me to get.
But I have also reverted to (may I say) other places to get my gravel from just because of the contending with the water thing.
I too don't like the underwater gravel farm and was also wondering if the water could be removed from the pit?
Thanks.

Psst Lime... Do a poll to see how many want no water in the pit.

Would something like the gravel mountains work for this kind of situation?

Yeaaaah but... its gravel :p

But you need gravel for concrete, and concrete in itself is tedious to make in bulk.

A Gravel mountain wouldn't be a bad idea :p

I agree

Yeah, tell me about it.

I like the farm we have but without water and maybe just add some climbable accesses to walls and the centre hub.
