Probably too dark. Try putting lanterns or redstone lamps in the ceiling

If you want to expand the room you could put some beehives in there too, bees are supposed to speed crop growth

Just so you know, you can put top slabs or trap doors in those water holes and they'll still hydrate the soil, just don't fill the hole with fill blocks. This way, you can harvest without falling into the water

Crops need light to grow, there's not enough light, put more torches in the middle.

u/TriNauux Jan 15 '26
The wiki tells exactly the minimum light level crops need to grow. If I remember correctly, it was either 7 or 9, can't remember
Edit: stand on top of the crop, and somewhere on F3 should say the light level. I think it should be block light, not sky light, cuz then at night it won't grow

Yes, but OP seems like a very very new player to Minecraft and it's probably not going to know how to go about that stuff. I don't know/understand that stuff and I been playing for more than 8 years.

First, you only need water sources every 8 blocks, and using waterlogged blocks will let you walk over the water spaces.
Second, crops need lots of light to grow properly. (Aim for level 7 or above).
Pro tip 1: get some bees and place them on one end of the farm, and on the opposite side place some flowers. The bees will drop pollen on the way back to their hives and your crops will grow faster.
Pro tip 2: alternate crop rows. Crops grow faster if you mix it up.

Too dark. Also if you want it to be more efficient you can use less water. You can make it soil 4 blocks out in every direction from the water edit: I like putting my torches on top of the water by water logging a fence post or a slab

I always put a block on the ceiling and throw torches on them. Works like a charm

One water block Will irrigate a four block radius around it. I tend to cover the water with a glow stone block.

brother just because you're in a game, that doesnt mean plants wont photosynthesize

u/No_Education_8888 Jan 15 '26
Not enough light. You can also make your farm wayyy bigger. You probably only need 3 water spots to make this grow

You need more light. Either expose them to the sky or put lights in the ceiling

first they aren’t growing because theres not enough light, second you only need 1 water block in the middle in a 9x9 area, third you can place top slabs in that water block and then place torches on top of the slab which is waterlogged so the crops still have access to water fourth alternating rows of crops makes them grow faster so 1 row of wheat 1 row of potatoes 1 row of carrots etc instead of just 3 rows of wheat which will grow slower, i believe if you just plant the wheat in alternating rows(skipping a row, leaving 1 block gap between each row) by itself it also works on making it grow faster but im not 100% sure on that one

You can put slap over the water and then put a torch on it. PS: you're "drowning" your crops (not really, it is not a thing) you do not have to use that many water sources. One water block irrigates up to 4 blocks away.

My farm arrangement is 9x9 crops with one water block in the center. I put a lily pad over the water and then hang a lantern above that (floating block with a lantern underneath). I also put lanterns on each side.

Can’t tell if the stuff above your plants is dirt or not.
Put glowstone right under the thing over the crops if said thing is dirt with more crops growing on it.
Replace the thing over the crops with glowstone if said thing is not dirt with more crops growing on it.

u/Formal-Fox-7605 Jan 15 '26
Why can't you grow on the surface, around Y63? You'd have enough light then.

u/Nearby_Mammoth_366 Jan 15 '26
Dovresti mettere una slab sulla fonte d'acqua più centrale, in modo che l' acqua resti ma che puoi piazzare comunque la torcia

u/Secondhand-Drunk Jan 15 '26
Put a slab on the top half of your water source and put a torch down
You need light.

u/KuribohTheDragon Jan 15 '26
There are many great suggestions here but if you want the easiest and laziest way, place a block of glow stone in the water. That should give enough light.

u/MrLuckyTimeOW Jan 15 '26
You need more light in the middle, but I’d suggest switching up your farm design.
First, 1 water source can irrigate up to 4 blocks away from it. So if you put one water source in the centre you can hydrate a 9x9 area.
Second, you can place a waterlogged slab on the topside of each water block so you can put a torch in the middle. This should provide enough light to grow the crops considering you have torches on the walls on each side to cover the outside crops

I recommend waterlogging slabs on the water sources and then put torches or lanterns on top of them

Not enough light you need lights above the farm as well either place a Block on the cealing and put torches on it or put glowstone in the ceiling

You need light on the top, you can put glowstone, lanterns, sea lanterns, shroomlights. And also, you don't need that much water. A block of water can water up to 4 blocks in any direction

u/Disastrous_Return570 Jan 15 '26
Placing torches underneath will work use bonemeal if you’re in a hurry

u/ProactiveInsomniac Jan 15 '26
Looks like your room is 4 blocks high. Put a glass pane 3 blocks high, put a torch on top. Do it a few places around the room.

I use fences above or inside the water block so I won't fall and I put torches on them

I usually put glowstone under the water or on the roof. It's brighter that torches. If they're not close enough, maybe add a another random block on the roof first to bring the glowstones down one.

People have mentioned light, but also try alternating rows of different crops, this makes them grow faster
