Minecraft 1.8 - Melon and Pumpkin Farming with Pistons

Since pushing a pumpkin or melon with a piston causes them to pop, an entire farm can be wired to harvest with the flip of a lever. You do have to manually re-plow the land they were on, but any that weren't grown don't get unplowed by pushing the block. (I ended up with 168 melon slices from that harvest.)

The texture pack is Redwood. http://is.gd/G6JtsE

@MrN00B1N4T3R What, for the world? I did this on a private server, not in single player, so I don't have one. It's not that hard though; the hardest part was distributing redstone repeaters properly to propagate the power, since it won't go more than 15 blocks without one. Repeaters can feed directly into pistons though, which made it easier. (Also the pistons need to be sticky, so they will pull the dirt blocks back down.)

@m2pt5 Well when i place down the repeter closest to the water. The water always destroy it >.<

@MrN00B1N4T3R You don't put any repeaters near the water. I actually use the switch backwards - the outer row of pistons have redstone torches under them, disabled by repeaters feeding into the blocks below them. When it goes off, the torches go on, powering the pistons above and repeaters powering the blocks under the inner row of pistons. The same setup is mirrored for the other half of the farm. Here's a wallhack view: i imgur com 3mEMy.jpg (dots before and after imgur and a slash after com)
