Most Compact Sniffer Farm / Best Way To Farm Torchflowers

You can create a compact sniffer-based torch flower farm by placing a lot of sniffers in one place. Sniffers can detect torch flower seeds from blocks around them, so placing them on slabs above a ring of sniffable blocks with hoppers below can effectively farm torch flowers.

Yes, sniffers can repeatedly detect the same block for torch flower seeds because the "explored position" in their memory is based on their center. As long as their head is positioned over a block that isn't marked as explored, they can continue to detect seeds there.

Having multiple sniffers crammed into a compact setup is slightly more laggy compared to having them in a larger pen. With more entities in one spot, lag increases exponentially, so if minimizing lag is the goal, it might be better to separate the sniffers into several larger pens.

You can expect to get approximately seven torch flower seeds per sniffer per hour. This rate was pretty consistent across various tests with different numbers of sniffers.

Sniffers can farm torch flower seeds from mud blocks as long as they are standing slightly higher than the mud block itself. If the sniffer stands on the mud directly, its head sits too low to detect the seeds effectively.

You can convert torch flower seeds to torch flowers by using bone meal or planting them on farmland. A simple nano farm setup with dispensers can bone meal the planted seeds and quickly grow them into mature torch flowers.

To harvest mature torch flowers without destroying the farmland, you can use a sticky piston with an End Rod in front of it. When retracted, it breaks the torch flower without damaging the farmland block.
