Minecraft - Tutorial: Water Spawner

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 21 вер 2011
  • Today I'm just showing off another idea I plan to incorporate into my possible survival map. Pushing the mobs into the water with pistons forces them to swim.
    Monster spawners stop spawning mobs if there are 6 or more mobs of that type within a 17x17x9 area centered on the spawner. Placing the water spawner in water 3 or more blocks deep prevents this limiter because the mobs will always swim outside of that range on their own. This makes it possible for these water spawners to continue to spawn many many mobs if the player is within range of them.
    The TNT self destruct feature is meant to keep things fun and fair.

    really nice video Etho my man. I know Guude and i are anxiously waiting for your first cake walk....i mean...adventure map.

    Surely i would just swim down and block up the mob exit holes?

    @dartemis7690 16 blocks in 3 dimensional space. Think of a 16 block radius sphere around the monster spawner (it is not a cube).

    Why yes that is terrifying :D Moreso if there weren't TNT or glowstone (monsters issuing forth from the murky depths), and I don't think brick blocks look the part. A slowly increasing number of spawners sounds like someting integral to a difficultly arc. Awesome work Etho!

  • @Sauce8186
    @Sauce8186 13 років тому

    terrifying idea... have a player complete a puzzle while one or more of these sits close enough to spawn enemies hidden behind a wall. The spawned monsters get water funnelled into a room next to the puzzle room. The longer you take to complete the puzzle the more enemies you must face after!

  • @Bear5177
    @Bear5177 13 років тому

    That's a great spawner there. I imagine something like this placed near the entrance of a particular dungeon or temple to produce "guards" or something. Depending on the difficultly set for the map, and how quickly the mobs would spawn, this could be very challenging for players to deal with.

    This is awesome! Though you know how you just have mnster spawners? maybe you could also use Keirshar's Practical SMP Monster trap AND monster Spawners,
    as the Practical monster trap doesn't totally rely on how far away you are ;).

    @Spoonforkable 11 років тому

    Don't listen to the people telling you that it is part of single player commands. It was a feature of beta 1.8 where when you were in creative mode you could hit a mob from a huge distance. They removed it in minecraft 1.0.

  • @Faestingman
    @Faestingman 12 років тому

    i think that if you do make an adventure map, then you should use the self destruct tnt thing, but also hide a chest inside with really great goodies, so that if the player does manage to get in without use of the self destruct button then they get a tasty reward (if the destruct button was used, then the chest and treasure would be destroyed).

  • @flussence
    @flussence 12 років тому

    Those new fence gates are a million times easier to use for mob manipulation stuff than signposts.

  • @LB_

    It was a creative mode feature in early renditions of the creative mode.

  • @IdhrenLives
    @IdhrenLives 12 років тому

    @dracius0keep That's because of a recent update (1.1 I think) that makes fence gates controllable by redstone (Etho covers it in one of his LP episodes). This video was made in 1.8.1

  • @mormengil
    @mormengil 13 років тому

    yeah you can TNT it.. or you can block the holes with blocks. I know this is for adventure maps, where block placing is against the rules, but until adventure mode is implemented, cheatproof designs do have a place.

  • @Myaggic
    @Myaggic 13 років тому

    @tombaalhuis1 if you use risugumi's spawner gui you can change what the spawner spawns. very helpful

  • @mormengil
    @mormengil 13 років тому

    @MrAlexerz in that case you can just block the holes. Dive from afar, swim underwater, plug a hole, rince repeat. Mobs won't be able to get you cause they have to swim up.

  • @Elkestra
    @Elkestra 13 років тому

    @jakesterlicious Actualy in some current Adventure maps you are allowed to break/place blocks - the Super Hostile series being obvious examples.
    And yes, plugging up the holes would be one way of dealing with this - though it'd take longer than just htting the pressure plate.

  • @adognamedsally
    @adognamedsally 13 років тому

    You know what, instead of allowing you to detonate the device, the pressure pad should be above a block of mcedited sand and then above a drop to bedrock with something to stop the water, so you just fall to your death. I like that idea better. More devious.

  • @the2ndcomming

    With single player commands. Look for that on minecraft forums when you find it look for reach distance in the post.

  • @stavik96
    @stavik96 13 років тому

    i know what would be cool. at the start it was 3 preassure plates. one for hard, normal and easy. if you go on the easy 3 of the holes is closed by pistons. so it will be like that the less difficulty the less they spawn. what do you think about it? also i loved the spawner you made

  • @mistayumyums

    Of course I expect any and all clay deposits on your map to be a horrifying trap.

  • @5lnine
    @5lnine 13 років тому

    Seems it would be fairly easy to just plug up the holes, unless you're planning on making the type of map where the player can't place blocks.

  • @sneaselboy
    @sneaselboy 12 років тому

    @laxbro62 most people who make survival/adventure maps use a map editor, or at least I think most do, so you could easily place a mob spawner

  • @TetraluxOnPC
    @TetraluxOnPC 13 років тому

    @Darkness4910 You cannot choose which mob they spawn at the moment. All spawners will spawn pigs if a player places them. To do what you suggest, use a program called "MCEdit" to place the spawners. Double-click on them and then you get a menu for the mob you want it to spawn.
    Hope this helps.

  • @TheUKMagpie
    @TheUKMagpie 12 років тому

    In Beta 1.8, mobs used to still attack while you were still in Creative mode - so as a way to defend yourself, they added an extended attack feature where you could hit things from further away. Voila.
    No single-player commands, just Beta 1.8.

  • @rsquared421
    @rsquared421 13 років тому

    Etho I just had a great idea for these basically make a giant room filled with water except for a platform in the center with a diamondblock the platform is connected to the entrance by a bridge when the player mines the block it activates a bud switch which closes the entrance with a hidden piston door and sets of tnt hidden in the bridge then the mobs start coming out of the water and the player has to find four levers around the room when he does the spawners self destruct and an exit opens

    No. Survival is 5 block reach, creative is further. In early versions of Creative mode, you could hit mobs from hundreds of blocks away, but not place or break blocks more than 4 blocks away.

  • @TotalExcessGaming
    @TotalExcessGaming 13 років тому

    i have an idea maybe hook up a redstone up to all the fence gates which i see thats possible and connect that to a lever and you can hide the lever in the water under a block somewhere and then the hit the lever it shuts the fence gates and then the mobs cant get out!

    When you make your map you should have rooms that delay the player near the spawner so that they cannot just rush it.
