Most of us know mud blocks are in the game but did you know they’re not a full block? And did you also know you can plant sugarcane (and bamboo) on them?

You no longer have to lose 50% of your harvest to drops not making it to the line of hoppers in front of the pistons. When making a piston-style sugarcane farm, plant your sugarcane on mud blocks and place your hoppers directly under the mud. Lossless!!

Note: I know large scale flying-machine style farms exist but flying machines and chunk loading gets finicky not to mention the output is often overkill. Also, yes, minecarts would work but…it’s more to craft and I like simplicity!
