In this video, I walk through basic game mechanics and how kelp grows in Minecraft. Then I show how I simulated clock-based kelp farms in Python in order to determine the best timings and configurations. Finally, I detail my findings and provide equations that anyone can use to find the efficiency and rates of any clock-based kelp farms. Here are the two equations: Efficiency: E(x) = ( )x^4 + ( )x^3 - ^2 + + 99.3, where x = harvest cycle time Total Kelp Harvested: K(p,x,t) = [( )x^4 + ( )x^3 - ^2 + + ]*p*t, where p = number of kelp planted, x = harvest cycle time, and t = farm run time Video Sections: 00:00 Intro 00:17 Game Ticks 01:28 Chunks 02:07 Random Ticks 03:10 Kelp Mechanics 05:09 Observer-Based Farms 06:33 Clock-Based Farms 08:09 Code Walkthrough 12:00 Results: Overview 12:20 Efficiency Data 13:27 Lag Considerations 14:17 Efficiency Equation 15:32 Example Efficiency 16:40 Kelp Harvested Equation 17:07 Example Kelp Harvested
