I was thinking it would be cool to have a way to get books for enchanting at the end farm. As a added bonus, an auto cow farm can produce cooked beef. I came up with a few designs in my test world for the required farms. An auto wheat farm (really expensive)

A cow farm.

Sugarcane.

What do you think?

I agree with looks over functionality, but for the end it’s different. Plus, I see no reason why there can’t be another section with these automatic farms in them. They can always be made to look good after the function is there. 😉

A few thoughts from my side :
1) If you like to add something to the end farm itself you should consider enderman possibility to teletport there and spawning possibility. If enderman can teleport/spawn there, it could decrease the farm performance.
2) Can be difficult to keep it fancy.
3) So maybe solution is: since you need to go through a few portals to get to the farm, maybe these addons can be built close to some portal but not close to the farm itself. Doing so, you do not need to think so much about above ?

I suppose that would work just as well. I actually have all the ingredients easily accessible at my base, I just get annoyed when I forget to bring books. Does anyone think the wheat and cow farms are at least interesting designs? (If you can see them well enough) Oh, and great work building the end farm, Q.

Another point I didn’t think about before… You need to be around for the cane to grow and the animals to breed and what not, is it really even going to supply enough? My end trips normally don’t last more than 10 minutes. I really don’t feel like you’ll get a lot out of the time you’re there.
