  • The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 3 continues in Minecraft 1.20.4!
    In this tutorial, we begin converting a Soul Sand valley Nether Fortress into a highly productive Wither Skeleton farm!
    First I explain why a Warped Forest or Soul Sand Valley biome are ideal locations for a wither skeleton farm, and we cover the basic tenets of spawnproofing your nether fortress.
    With that task done, we gather some snow from a snow golem, then return to the End to farm some Wither Roses using a very simple design inspired by IanXOfour: • Minecraft Elegance: In...
    Returning to the Nether, we cover where to build your spawning platform, the perils of leaving Fire Tick on, how to disable blaze spawners if they're too close to your working area, and we find out how productive a single wither rose platform can be!

      Yeah, my favorite "Pix is a beast" moment was in the original Empires series, when for storytelling reasons he walked away from everything he'd built, leaving behind all his gear and everything, went off alone into the desert in nothing but his skin, and just a couple of episodes later was already building a high-efficiency ghast farm. Because of course, when you're starting from nothing in the desert, *obviously* a high-end ghast farm would be one of the first things you'd do, that's just common sense, right?

      @jonadabtheunsightly Right ?? We don't see much of it here on the Survival Guide, because its a slower pace. And while I'm a huge fan of that, I love the small glimpses of just. what he could be capable of. if he was allowed to just go and pursue whatever project he decided was fun that day

    Hi Pix. I've played Minecraft for many years, in many iterations and I still come back to your survival guide series. Inevitably I learn something I never knew before, but even if I don't, I'm always entertained and impressed by your presentation. I seldom comment on other people's work but just wanted to drop some appreciation and thanks for the care and effort that you pour into your work and the many hours of value it has provided.

    Another cool episode Pix.
    It's common to see in vids builders running out of blocks.
    TIP
    A stack of 64 blocks covers an 8X8 area, or 4 stacks covers one chunk.
    I haven't seen or heard mention of this basic math fact in ANY Minecraft videos. So, I charge you with the task of spreading knowledge of the 'Four stack chunk rule'. I know it's clear after you've been told, but everyone I've pointed it out to has been surprised at how they missed something so obvious.
    Also, put a hopper under where the snowmen land, preload with one sheared pumpkin in each slot, and stand closer to the hole, it's annoying loosing pumpkins. Around the snowman hole I replaced an endstone block with snow so as to middle click pick block.
    Well done explaining the bounding boxes without using a mod to show them.
    Finally, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this, please join the next 'Life' series with the Hermits and Empires cast.
    Keep up the great content ❤

    I made a wither skeleton farm and spawnproofed a fortress that had lava lakes around it but also a lot of Nether Wastes and a bit of Chrimson Forest.
    To put it into perspective how long it took to spawnproof as much as I needed to I must mention that I listened to the audiobook "Thousand Sons", which takes nearly 20 hours to go through.
    I am confident that I listened easily through the entire last fourth of the book and was still not entirely finished with spawnproofing.
    And I also think that I actually started building my farm when I was just halfway through the book, but I listened to a chapter or two when I wasn't playing Minecraft.

    The bounding box of crossroads is 19x19 (7x7 extra blocks in each corner)
    hey require 361 blocks (5 stacks & 41) each to fill (so 361 netherrack, 361 wither roses, etc.)
    in the vertical space of a bounding box, 3 floors with a height of 3 can fit if you go to the bottom like at 16:13
    Any lower/higher won't be in the bounding box, but CAN spawn fortress mobs if on nether bricks

    Sticky piston to move an observer in front of another going straight into the dispenser for the carved pumpkins. They won’t place unless there is something there to receive it, like making a snowman or an iron golem. The dispenser will just click empty until you build a double high snow block for it to dispense a carved pumpkin onto the head of.
    Add a hoper to the bottom of the tunnel and you’ll go 100% lossless when it comes to carved pumpkins.

      The way that pack spawning works in soul sand valleys and warped forests means that there are only a small number of spawns outside the fortress so doing a large amount of spawn proofing outside the fortress is not necessary.

      @jonadabtheunsightly 2 місяці тому

      If they're spawnable space, then getting rid of them will improve the efficiency of the farm, at least a little. (The larger they are, the more relevant that is.) But since the Sci-Craft server already exists, you don't need to create it; and that means you don't necessarily need to achieve the very highest efficiency possible. At some point, the law of diminishing returns kicks in and you decide that your farm is efficient enough to meet your needs, and putting in several times as much effort in order to boost the farm's rate by another 10%, may not be worth it, when you can just afk at the farm 10% longer instead. Exactly where that line is drawn will vary from player to player because, among other things, it depends on how often you're going to be using the farm and for how long. If you're trying to fill a double chest full of shulker boxes full of beacons for an upcoming project and expect to have more projects like that in the future, then you're going to care a lot more about the wither skeleton farm's efficiency than if you only expect to need maybe a couple dozen beacons total over the course of your entire time in this Minecraft world.
