Wheat and Sugar Cane farming is WAY to easy. And so is planting a garden of flowers and keeping them in perfect condition forever. The garden weed is a predator to your crops. Why not add garden weeds to Minecraft to make farming more difficult.
Garden Weeds generate randomly on grass blocks. Weeds will spread-fast. They can spread to other grass blocks 3 blocks away. The weeds will spread to your farm. You can pull the weeds out by hand, but that takes as long as punching stone. A sword will cut down that time and make it easier.
What does a garden weed do to your crops? Soon after there is an adjacent weed to a flower, wheat, sugar cane, cactus, or mushroom, it will be destroyed. Flowers, sugar cane, and cactus will become collectable. Wheat is harvested, ready or not.
Garden weeds are also perfect for fully-automatic cactus and sugar cane farms. You set up a line of 1 block high sugar cane. Behind it and up higher is a line of garden weeds. Once the sugar cane reaches the height of the weeds, the top pops off and falls into a water stream. The sugar cane eventually touches a wooden pressure plate and sends off a series of note blocks and flashing redstone torches to bring you over and collect it. The sugar cane will eventually regrow and repeat.
Who agrees this a great way to add difficulty to farming?

I am meowing at my lung’s fullest. I would even argue that the echo that reverberates back to me is the voice of someone I know…
It's a good idea, but if i'll make the whole place of stone or every other but dirt material, and only the farm place of dirt, will it still grow?
I mean like this:
And on the grass i'll put the farm.
I'll make it so weeds only spawn under a light level lower than 12, not spread. As long as you have a torch in there and make the stone wall 3 blocks thick, it will be IMPOSSIBLE to have a weed in your farm! :biggrin.gif:

Good idea, very good. but I don't like the idea of it jumping. you should be able to stop it from growing in your garden altogether - maybe you could make weed killer from mushroom and lapis lazuli? it could be a tool with 200 durability, that could be placed on a block and the grass would appear slightly tainted - maybe a more blue colour?
Or how about they die under a light level of 15?

I've weeded a garden before, and to get one weed out doesn't take 8 seconds to pull. But in real life it does take close to instantly to pull a weed, and I can see how that would be over powered. I think it should be the same time as punching wool.

Yes! Sheep will have a new use.
