    Hey you,

    I'm super glad you decided to read this. At least I would be if I could see you. But that's besides the point. You're obviously here for a reason; you want to know which farms on Skyblock Economy are going to help you make bank, and which ones would more likely break the bank. Before I get into the list though, there's going to be a few things of note, of which I'll go through now:
    1. This guide is for items sold per stack at ‘/warp shop’ on Skyblock economy, including details from my perspective on how effective/ineffective a farm is overall.
    2. Any items listed in the sell price will be per stack (AKA - 64 items total).
    3. Average price to set up means the lowest cost to make said farm vs the highest (minimum) cost to make it effective
    4. Return rate means how effective it is at making you money back for the parts you bought to make the farm work
    5. Crop hopper compatible means ‘can a crop hopper be used’. Note: Crop hoppers can auto harvest whatever crops are listed on it within a given chunk
    6. Auto, Semi-Auto or manual means the farming method. Namely, can the farm be auto harvested, can it be semi-auto harvested, or, does it require some good ol' manual labor to make it work. All factors to consider when getting farms
    Now that all of that is out of the way, here's the first one


    Snowball farm:

    • Sell price: $3.84
    • Average price to set up: $615 to $1,000

    • Return rate: Hopeless

    • Details on farm: With the snowball farm, you can turn snow golem trails into snowballs, which can be turned into snow blocks, or almost snow slabs for decoration.

    • Crop Hopper Compatible: No

    • Crop Hopper Level required: N/A

    • Auto, Semi-auto or Manual: Manual, Shovel

    • Positives: Infinite snowballs, extremely effective against fire based mobs like Blazes, and Magma Cubes; ideal for decorating purposes; snowballs can also be used for snowball fights on here

    • Negatives: Regardless of type or enchantments, shovels will quickly wear out, and likely be destroyed easily; terrible return rate on money; can accidently hit snow golem to kill them; snow golems only have 4 HP overall, so are annoyingly weak, and are also damaged by rain and heat, requiring shelter to survive, as well as a block over their head

    • Tier level: Pathetic

    • Final thoughts: While the snowball farm is alright at making snowballs, you need a steady supply of shovels to make it useful. And, there’s no way to make any good money from this. You’d likely spend more money on maintaining the farm than you would actually making a profit. Not recommended for money earning.
