Auto String Farm
by GenGu233
Auto String Farm adds a craftable Fabric block that produces Minecraft string without a multi-part technical farm to build.
What it does
The block produces two string per second and stores its output in a 27-slot internal inventory. When that inventory fills, production stops until items are removed. A player opens it like a small container, and hoppers can pull string out of it. It can be mined with an axe, and the mod includes its own creative mode tab.
Traditional string farms depend on direction, layout, water flow and free space for entities, which makes them slow to set up. This block replaces that arrangement with one placeable unit. Fabric API is required. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, not open source. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, with the 1.0.0 build from 2026-05-21 as the latest.
Key features
Single production block
One craftable block replaces a traditional string farm and needs no water channels or mob spawning space.
Steady output
The block yields two string per second while its inventory has room, then halts when the 27 slots are full.
Hopper extraction
Hoppers can take string from the block, so it can feed an automated storage line.
Creative mode tab
The mod adds its own creative tab so the block and related items are straightforward to find in creative inventory.

Use cases
Automated string supply
Players who need a steady string supply for crafting can place the block and collect from it or route a hopper line into storage.
Who it’s for: Players who want string without building a traditional technical string farm, and server owners who want a compact alternative for their survival world.
How it compares
String Duper Revived is a client and server Fabric mod for 1.21.3 under the MIT License, not open source, and it targets a different Minecraft version than this block. Custom Client Brand is client-side only, CC0 1.0 Universal and open source across 1.20 – 26.3, so it differs in both environment and version range.
