How to make Farmland in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft farmland with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, farmland is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to use a hoe to prepare the soil and turn it into farmland. Farmland can then be used to plant wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots and other plants.
Let's explore how to make farmland in Minecraft.

How to get Farmland in Creative or Survival Mode
You can make farmland in Creative mode or Survival mode by preparing soil with a hoe. So, let's get started!
