@JustD3fy Lol, the wrong use of the word impractical is costing me dearly >.< When I said impractical I was leaning more towards the inefficiency of the set-up, not insinuating that the device is useless. To harvest large quantities of wheat and cacti, you're MUCH MUCH better off using a water flooding set-up which would only use a single piston rather than many you would use with this set-up.
@thingthug Ah ok. That's true haha. If you are worried about inefficiency than i suggest putting a wall above the water so half the wheat doesn't fall off.
@iambored404 The wrong use of a word makes a world of difference. I was leaning more towards insinuating inefficient rather than say that the set-up is useless. A cacti and simple wheat farm would be more efficient using a water-flooding system which would only make use of a single piston to harvest large amounts of items. This could only be practical to use with sugar-cane.
@iambored404 Damn, you are right. I don't even know why I made this video anymore. -__-
This design is applicable to cacti and sugarcane. It's not efficient in it's use of quantity (12 blocks per pair of pistons), but it's fine. I'm so sorry for engaging you in useless banter.
@thingthug No no, this was a fun video. Pistons use four resources: Wood, cobble, iron, and redstone. None of those are even remotely scarce. Overdoing things like this is part of Minecraft!
@iambored404 Lol, I've been like this since a uploaded a video of like the most inefficient farm on my channel and people down-voted the hell out of it. Anyways, if you're interested, I just uploaded a new video of a revised automatic-cacti farm. I would appreciate if you would be so kind to give me your input on it! Good night my friend.
I can't tell with your texture pack, but does the dirt block stay fertile?
Also, it doesn't seem useless at all, just make rows alternating "Water, Plants, Water" and wire up the redstone underneath so that 1 lever switches half off and half on at the same time, and make a little collection area that all the water pools into. Or, if you have to re-hoe the land anyway, walking on the dirt to collect the stuff wouldn't matter, so you don't need the water at all.
@meshunderlay Yes, the farm-land stays intact after being displaced. 12 blocks of farm operated using 2 pistons doesn't seem very practical/ efficient, does it? I don't mean that the set-up is completely useless, it can work with sugar-cane. But for cacti and crops, a regular water-flooding system is A LOT more practical and efficient as you can harvest a large amount of materials using a single piston and some water.
Hey dude, can you make more videos?!

@MrMinecraftminers Soon, soon. :D But there will be a video up in 3 or 4 hours, so keep an eye out for that!

If you connect an inverter to one piston you dont need two switches.

it isnt rendered useless by the 15 block limitation. you can have several of these things hooked up to a single switch :)

@JustD3fy I'm not too worried about the wheat, if you are interested I have a video of my wheat farm design on my channel. :)

While the block limit is limiting, I wouldn't say it makes this useless.
you could also push the blocks up using (many) more pistons, and have no limit on the size of your farm.

@thingthug How are you using water on a cacti farm? I didn't think cacti unplanted themselves when faced with water.

Pistons have a 12 block limit, not 15.
