Needle in a Haystack Simulator 🪡🌾

Turn Minecraft Bedrock into a full Idle & Tycoon Simulator!

Spawn on a massive floating hay island, use your vacuum to remove hay and search for hidden needles. Every needle you find earns money that can be spent on better equipment, upgrades and automated machines.

🪡 Find Rare Needles

Discover 10 different needle types, from simple Rusty Needles all the way up to extremely valuable Cosmic and Legendary Needles.

The deeper you dig, the better your chances of finding rare rewards.

🌪️ 8 Vacuum Upgrades

Start with the small Mini Vac and work your way toward increasingly powerful machines:

Mini Vac
Handy Vac
Shop Vac
Turbo Vac
Industrial Vac
Mega Vac
Quantum Vac
Black Hole Vac

Higher-tier vacuums clear larger areas, work faster and unlock rarer needles.

📡 Needle Detectors

Use different detectors to locate hidden rich pockets containing increased needle chances.

Advanced detectors can show distance, direction and even the strength of nearby needle pockets.

⚙️ Build Your Tycoon

Purchase and place machines that automatically generate money while you play.

Machines include:

Hay Hoover
Deep Drill
Pocket Radar
Lucky Beacon
Combine Harvester

Upgrade them through multiple tiers and build your own automated needle empire.

How to install

  1. Download the file below. On iOS or Android, open it from your Downloads with Minecraft; on Windows, double-click it.
  2. Minecraft imports the pack automatically. Enable it in your world’s settings under Behavior Packs or Resource Packs; an add-on usually needs both.
  3. Playing on a Realm or server? Everyone needs the same packs, and the host has to enable them.
  4. Starting a new world? Choose its seed first: the Seed Map shows villages, structures and biomes near spawn for any Bedrock seed.
