We recommend you to check the vanilla wiki about farming first!
- Light spreads up to 7 blocks horizontal.
- You have to use farm plots to grow crops.
- Most blocks/shapes don't let light pass, this includes even water.
- Ladders don't blick light.
- You can stack multiple farms using the same lightshaft.
- The area doesn't need to be loaded to grow your crops.
- You can use the same method to power a solar bank (2nd block from the left side needs to be below the light shaft).
