Best Skyblock Farms for Money
What to build first, what to build next, and how to make every farm earn more
Short answer: The best Skyblock money farms are the ones that keep working while you're away. On Complex Skyblock (hub.mc-complex.com), sweet berry fox farms are one of the best money makers right now, higher-tier crops like nether wart sell for more once you can grow them, and automatic farms like cactus farms earn without you breaking a single block. Boost them with island upgrades and the Greenhouse rune, then sell smart with the dynamic economy.

What makes a good Skyblock money farm
On a Skyblock server your island is small, so every block of space matters. The best money farms:
- Run without you: farms that harvest themselves keep earning while you do other things or go AFK.
- Grow fast: the faster a crop grows, the more you can sell per hour.
- Sell well: higher-tier crops are worth more per item, and on servers with a changing economy, crops that fewer people sell earn more.
- Scale up: a good design is easy to stack higher or wider as your island grows.
The best Skyblock farms for money
1. Sweet berry fox farms
Foxes harvest sweet berry bushes on their own, so a fox farm keeps producing berries without you right-clicking every bush. Sweet berry fox farms are one of the best money makers on Complex Skyblock right now, and they're a great first big build.
2. Higher-tier crop farms (like nether wart)
As you progress, you unlock higher-level farming. Crops like nether wart are worth more per item than early crops, so switching your farm space to them is one of the biggest upgrades you can make in the mid and late game.
3. Automatic farms (like cactus)
Automatic farms break and collect crops for you. Cactus farms are the classic example: cactus breaks itself when it grows into a block, and hoppers collect it into chests. They're cheap to build and earn nonstop.
4. Minions
Farming minions work your crops for you while you play. Pair them with your farms for even more output. See the
Skyblock Minions Guide.
How to make your farms earn more
- Island upgrades: islands have hopper and entity limits, and island upgrades raise them so you can build bigger farms. Upgrades can also speed up crop growth.
- The Greenhouse rune: a mythical rune that boosts your crops.
- Fertilizer: boosts your whole island's crops for an hour.
- AFK alts: crops only grow in loaded chunks, so you can use up to 4 alts per player to AFK your farms. See the Network Rules for what alts can and can't do.
- Stay close: farms only run in chunks near a player. Learn more in our guide to simulation distance.
Selling your farm loot
Complex Skyblock uses a
dynamic economy: the more an item is sold, the lower its price drops. If everyone is farming the same crop, switching to a different one can earn you more. Sell with
/sell, sell wands, chest shops or the auction house (
/ah). For every way to earn, see
