Latest release on GitHub

Simple Auto Farm is open source. Its newest release on GitHub is 1.5.2 — no more empty batches, published on Nov 9, 2026.

Fixed

  • Mobs whose loot rolls "0 or 1" (phantom, and any table that only drops when a player lands the kill) could still produce an empty batch. The expected-value fallback now rolls with the killer in the loot context, and if every roll still comes up zero it produces one item from the table instead of nothing.
  • Both 1.21.1 and 26.1.2 builds are included.

Before that: 1.5.1 — sample fix, material cards, second output page (Nov 9, 2026), 1.5.0 — Fluid Farm & Mob Farm (Nov 8, 2026).

Description from the author on Modrinth

Simple Auto Farm adds a line of compact, easy-to-automate farming machines: each one produces a whole category of resources from a single block, with upgrade slots, internal energy storage and optional AE2 output.

Machines

  • Simple Auto Farm — grows crops and produces their drops.
  • Simple Auto Ore Farm — generates ores.
  • Simple Auto Beehive — keeps bees and collects honeycomb/honey.
  • Simple Auto Fluid Farm — 9 independent tanks with their own level bars. Put a fluid container in a sample slot and that tank fills automatically; buckets in the container slots are filled in place. The inner block renders the real fluid texture, so you can read the tank contents from the outside.
  • Simple Auto Mob Farm — produces mob drops without spawning mobs. Feed it a spawn egg, a spawner item, a mob jar or any modded mob container; it runs the full death pipeline (loot table, affixes, gems, global loot modifiers) and stores the results in 27 output slots plus 27 overflow slots.
  • Simple Generator / Generator Pro — burn fuel (Pro also accepts lava) to make FE.
  • Void Singularity — deletes items.
  • Water Source — an infinite water block.

Mob Farm: entity cards

  • Entity Card — right-click a mob to bind it, then kill that mob yourself to fill the card. The requirement scales with the mob's base health and is capped at 32 kills. Once complete the card works as a sample. Craft it with paper to wipe it.
  • Animal / Monster / Boss Entity Card — every batch rolls a random mob from that category, so you never know what you get. These always produce something: if a roll comes up empty the machine retries, then falls back to the expected value of that mob's loot table.

Samples are never consumed, and any mob container that stores an entity id in its data (spawner items, mob jars, …) works out of the box.

Upgrades and automation

  • Speed, efficiency, yield, fortune and combined speed/efficiency upgrades in four tiers, plus a creative upgrade.
  • Machines store FE internally and can push their output into an adjacent inventory or an AE2 network.
  • Output-only for pipes: samples and upgrade cards can never be pulled out, and generators accept fuel without giving it back.

Config

An in-game config screen (NeoForge built-in) exposes the mob farm options: death simulation, using a real player as the killer, and allowing a fake player when nobody is online.

Notes

  • Requires NeoForge. Builds for 1.21.1 and 26.1.2 are provided.
  • No other mod is required; AE2 and Apotheosis are optional integrations.
