Since the experience crystal may be expensive early game i use the XP drain from Mob grind utils. You can step on the drain and then use a bucket to extract the XP!
A bit late, but i highly recomend using a rotten egg from the mob utils mod on 7x7 dirt for the floor, then placing vector plates on top. This ensures you get slime spawns and such while keeping the rest of the farm in optimal condition

Under the bridge, in the area dotted with water, moss, and stalagmites, there will be 4 spawners summoning Evoker Fangs. These spawners can be collected and changed per usual. They are veeeery fast. 4. Just a note, the Catacombs are full of other spawners, but they're not nearly as good as the broken bridge spawners. They just make the whole place rather dangerous if you're doing this early game. 5. If you're having trouble finding the broken bridge room, just remember to listen as you explore. When you're close to the room, the Evoker Fangs will start firing, and they make a lot of noise.
if you have trouble finding a cave creeper for the swab, find a mushroom field biome and go into the caves underneath! They can still spawn there so there are a TON

This is a great video. I built a lower-tier version of this farm on ATM9 since I'm still fairly early-game and don't have all the resources to make it go fast. Three mashers, no upgrades to them, and I'm only able to put some of the upgrades on the spawners (most notably, I don't have dragon eggs yet). I'll continue upgrading things as I get the resources. A few footnotes: 1. Based on my testing, I think the redstone link powers all adjacent blocks in any direction. With only a single redstone link powered, I get activity not only on the spawner it's attached to, but also one spawner above and one spawner below that one. Not a disaster since I don't really need to activate them one at a time, but worth bearing in mind if you try to get clever with redstone links. 2. My cave creeper spawner doesn't seem to work no matter what I do. I suspect this has some requirement on it like biome or the like that I'm not aware of. I'm looking forward to seeing if a dragon egg fixes this. All of the other spawners work fine without. 3. I think I worked out the reasons for choosing the mobs that you did, but I think it's worth calling out that adding skeletons, vanilla creepers, and slimes will produce all the Reliquary drops needed for fertile essence, for those wanting to also follow your video on building the perfect Mystical Agriculture farm. This farm is gonna solve most of the resource problems I'm having in my current run. Thank you!

I wouldn't say this build is easy when it comes to what you need for the farm but it is really cool. It's a nice little project. Getting all the things you need for your farm and the process of upgrading it. You still need to kill 5 dragons and 5 withers for this. Very worth it in the long run though
I come from the perspective of speedrunning, so I look at things to be a little easier than others lol Getting to the max upgrades can take some time for sure, but with Witches you can speed up the entire process!
I haven't seen anyone mention this (from a quick scroll). With functional storage, you can lock/unlock all the drawers linked to a controller by using the configuration card on the controller.
Subscribed !! Bro you helped me a lot, i'm new on ATM 8 so i dont know how to use many mods. Your video was very clear and well teached. Today I did on my world the mekanism melon farm following your video and was a real success ! Thank man keep going !
Hello! I followed all of your steps and most of it has been going smoothly... the one thing that has me stumped though is that my backpack isn't sucking up any mob drops despite me having all three magnet upgrades. I also copied the void upgrade steps so I have no idea what the issue is. I built my farm exactly like yours so I would really love to know what the issue might be. Edit: Not my brightest moment... i hadn't switched the magnet upgrade on... my farm is working great thx for the tutorial
Always heard of the Cardboard box , but never thought about it o.O Thank you so much for the tutorial.... my wife and i will the mob farm tonight out :D
I have a question someone might be able to answer, hopefully. I made this farm and it works great. i am still early game so i dont have all the things to make it spawn like crazy. My question is: how do I get my items from the drawers? Awesome tutorial btw. I hope you keep making videos like this.
I followed that tutorial to make the mob farm, size of the farm and everything except the dragon egg because I'm still too early in the game to get those. The problem is that the blaze spawn everywhere, not only inside the zone of the farm, which makes it really annoying because I can't let the farm going without being there to kill the ones that spawn around the area. Second problem is that not all the items are being collected, some of them get stuck at the first line of the mob masher. But the tutorial is still good, thank you for your work !
You need to use Blaze Rods to reduce the spawn distance on the Blaze spawner. You can get it down to 1 or 2, and that should stop them from spawning everywhere. The backpack should be close enough to pick up those items if that's what you are using as a collection system, so that's weird that it doesn't pick it up. Hope this helps!
Thai video was insanely helpful, you definitely have gained a sub! I appreciate the help as I’m about to dive into this pack and start my ATM adventure!! Do you have a let’s play of this? Id love to watch you play this awesome pack (as a tutorial for myself 😂)
A lot. I mean a lot a lot. You can easily add more spawners, or specifically just spawn things that drop the most experience. I know during my playthrough I easily got thousands of levels just letting it run.
I used armory cabinets myself, but found there is a bug with them, if you extract from them with a pipez pipe or a few other types of pipe, and there's nowhere for the item to go, instead of staying in the cabinet it gets voided. I was using the nbt filtering option of pipez to sort items based on whether they were enchanted/had apotheosis prefixes, or were damaged. This way I could auto-disenchant them dumping the enchants into an enchantment library, the apotheosis equipment I could manually scrap for rarity materials, and the damaged stuff I could maybe dump into a colossal blood chest or something to repair them. You can use extra armory cabinets to make sure there's enough storage on the receiving end, and there are some transport pipes that don't void the items.
Hi Alfred, I stumbled upon your ATM8 mob farm video few days ago, and it definitely drawn me to watch the full series (tbh I was looking for how can I get a companion like Body). As many comments said, you deserve so much more subs, I subbed when you have 6.20k, and I sincerely hope you will get much more! To save me some time, I written the steps with timestamp for easy reference, if you haven't watched the full video, please do since I intentionally left out some tricks. 😉 ============================================================== Important Material List (not including general building materials): 5 x Spawner and Spawn Eggs (can be more) 9 x Redstone Glasses/Block 9 x Mob Masher (with upgrades) 6 x Redstone Link (number of spawners+1) 2 x Ender Inhibitors ============================================================== Steps with timestamp: 0:18 1. Get spawners (at least 5), using Mekanism's Cardboard Box, or Silk Touch 1:34 2. Get spawn eggs using Mob Swab method: Blaze, Cave Creeper, Enderman, Witch, Wither Skeleton 3:06 (Tips: use chicken spawner to have infinite chickens🐔) 3:22 3. Build 9x9 square exterior (7x7 internal spawn area) 3:48 4. Build the killzone, 5 blocks wide, 4 blocks from one side (i.e. 4x3 internal area), 2 blocks deep, lowest layer being redstone glasses/blocks x 9, and a layer of Mob Mashers x 9 (can start out 3 if early game then expand) 4:52 5. Entity Convery/Vector Plates x 52 to move mobs to killzone 5:48 6. Build the tower with heights of 11 blocks (3 spacers + 5 spawners + 2 spacers + 1 top) 6:05 7. Build the killzone with heights of 4 blocks (3x3 windows at the front), ethereal glasses x 9 at the front. The tower should now be 9x9 exterior with 11 blocks height. Killzone is 4 blocks out and 4 blocks high) 6:52 8. Start from the center of the 7x7 area, with 3 block spaces starting from the ground, the 4th block will the first spawner (use redstone comparators to give redstone control to spawers), stacks the other spawners on the top, 2 blocks (e.g. vertical slaps) in the spacer and reached the ceiling 8:00 9. Use Create's Redstone Links x 6 to give wireless control, 5 on the spawners, 1 on the killzone side wall 8:40 10. Place 2 blocks over the top Redstone Link so mobs won't get stuck 9:00 11. Set the spawners to desired mobs 9:13 12. Put Ender Inhibitors x 2 at the front and the back 10:00 13. Upgrade all spawners (dragon egg, nether star, sugar, clock, blaze rod, chrous fruit, wool), note that don't use chrous fruit on slime spawner 13:23 14. Set up the collection system, at least gold backpacks 13:50 15. Apply Advanced Magnet Upgrade, Tank Upgrade (for experience), Advanced Void Upgrade (set on "Works in GUI as well", "Void Overflow", "Block"), Stack Upgrade (optional) 16:00 16. Extract item and experience
After using it for a while, it does make the server TPS dropped quite a lot, ~8 in my case (normal should be 20). I believe tweaking the entites count might help but I haven't tested it out, if you wish to have it running in a sustainable way.
@@AlfredGGMC I just updated the pack to 1.0.18 and I am not sure the exact reason, but it seems the farm (with 6 spawners) is now running fine without disturbing the server tps, which is surprising.
Not really sure whats happening i built the farm and everything how it should be and for a while it was running fine but now my slime spawner is not spawning anything i followed the video exactly and did everything like using the egg to ignore conditions but now nothing is spawning (slimes were spawning for a while and now they just arent) i havent changed anything with the spawner and im just confused any help would be great
Probably very late to comment this, but if you want to set up a farm with glass but arent strong enough to get a dragon egg yet, use the tinted glass from mob grinding utils mod.
For anyone wondering you will need to create 72 swords for the mob mashers alone and to max out the sharpness it will cost 360 swords so 432 all together hope this helps
Is there a limit as to how tall it can be? I need a MASSIVE amount of spawners for all the types of mobs I need to grind. Also love the vids! Keep it up!
Definitely amazing video here's a few changes that I would personally make at the start of the game when you're first building the farm don't have a lot of resources like dragon egg etcetera build the structure out of whatever you want to as long as the inside is dark I prefer to use dark glass and dark ethereal glass then again using whatever conveyor or vector plate you want to direct everything in like you did except only use one mob Masher that's all you really need put a redstone controller at the bottom of that as well that way you can turn it on and off remotely and personally I like to use the absorption Hopper going into a chest on one side and a tank on the other then from there sort the loot out however you want to here's a bit of a question for you in previous packs the backpacks have been unstable and lose inventory sometimes when placed on the ground which is why I avoid them like the plague any idea if that's been fixed again loved the video
I’ve managed to use a very small 2 spawner setup that’s basically maxed without piglich hearts (spawn count). They just take longer to generate resources, it’s not too bad.
Nice and easy. Gotta think if i want to redo/upgrade mine, coz i made dreadful dirt + spawners for those specific mobs that are not spawning from it(Vindicator, Blaze,Wither Skel) + Tinted ethereal glass so its dark inside ,but i can go through .
I have a question about the mob drops, is there a way to auto smelt the raw iron and raw gold coming from the cave creeper with something like the mekanism one in the quest book? Thanks for the mob farm I'm loving it so far
You don't need either of those things in the early game. If you stay near it, you won't need Nether Stars. You won't need Dragon Eggs as long as the conditions meet. Slimes need to be in Slime Chunks, or you can build below ylvl ~40 to make cave creepers work without the Egg.
@@AlfredGGMC yeah, i realised that the farm works just fine if i make the walls obscured glass and use sugar and stuff on the spawners, i dont really need it to be more efficient as of right now. Thanks, great guide!
Quality planning and fine execution for top tier mob farm, although it's prolly not gonna be your first mob farm (one prolly cobbled together from bamboo spikes and mob fans over dreadful dirt ^^;)
You can set up a less functional version of this earlier in the game with less complexity by putting a stack of redstone controlled spawners (selecting your spawners for which mobs you want) in an enclosed (dark) 9x9 room (tall enough to have 3 blocks below and 2 above the stack) with water placed on the floor to push mobs towards an exit. I don't think it works with blazes or flying mobs, sadly. Then you can have a 1 block wide kill tunnel/box where you either manually hit them, or have 1-2 mob mashers. You can even set the mob mashers up to be toggleable by placing redstone links on the bottom of them. Definitely not as fast but it can be done earlier, and upgraded once you have more resources.
For all the ATM9 players: This is such a great tutorial video! Very detailed and easy to follow. I was hoping this would be working for ATM9, but it seems like both the witches and creepers are spawning outside the box. I'm thinking of making it a 11x11 box, and hopefully that can resolve the issue.
I made this in ATM 9 and not having any trouble at all with the spawn range, even though I didn't reduce it at all. I used tinted glass and the area outside the spawner is well-lit.
Very nice detailed tutorial. When I saw your original one on your ATM8 Let's Play series, I create one just like it. Is there a trick to get Slime Cubes to spawn with this type of setup?
@@sheacasby393 do u know wat particular Y level .. cause I am badly needing slime to spawn and I cant get them to spawn at all ... I don;t know if slime spawner can go in with all the rest or do I have to make a seperate mob farm just for them .. really want slime pearls badly lol I could care less about the other mobs lol need slimes
Im playing atm9 and the items get transfered very slow (from storage controller/backpack to the drawers), is there any way to speed it up or why is it much slower than in your video?
So idk if anyone else has this same issue but, i was unable to get the cave creepers or slime without being in certain areas. My slimes would only spawn in swamp biomes and cave creepers wouldn't spawn unless below y -10(didnt test much in between Y 80 and -10).

Hii is it possible for you to mention all the mods used. I m not making this build in all the mods 8 but in my personal custom world. Also can u tell what mod did u use for the mob spawner upgrades
worth noting that the spawners actually dont work if you're outside the 128 block radius if you're in the same dimension. yes they still spawn entities, but those entities just flash into oblivion due to the vanilla spawn conditions. to bypass this, just put your mob grinder in a different dimension than the one you most frequent
@@AlfredGGMC Not even 30min after I posted this I saw a post online about someone mentioning a slime pearl. I had only 4 slim balls and now I have a diamond chest full of them! Also this farm took me a while to make but it is beyond amazing! So many levels and goodies! Thank you so much!
I'm certain that I missed something in the video, but I'm having difficulty getting the armour to void out of the system on its own. Seems to clog up my storage pretty quickly. Can someone explain where I went wrong here? I am using Backpack void upgrade and storage drawers void upgrade, still the armour and tools build up in my backpack.
should this also work in all the mods 9? Im trying to modify the spawners with sugar and clocks etc. but the only one that works in the dragon egg, anyone know a fix?
@@killuamexe ATM 9 made changes you can go to JEI and then @apoth to see the mod spawner changers. They made some changes to be more expensive. Lowering the min time now takes Allthemodium and the max takes vibranium. Also the minimum is set to 100 instead of 20.
You should definitely do more self contained videos like this one for ATM 8. The pack specific tutorials are amazing.

@@AlfredGGMCWhy witches? What do they do?
Witches are dope! They drop redstone, glowstone, spider's eyes, sticks, and more!@@tangomango8474
Amazing tutorial, again, thank you!
Thank you so much! This worked super nicely and looks clean!
unreal Pack and unreal experiences. Love the content of tutorials 🔥
I haven't seen anyone mention this (from a quick scroll). With functional storage, you can lock/unlock all the drawers linked to a controller by using the configuration card on the controller.
I never would have never thought to use the backpack!
Subscribed !! Bro you helped me a lot, i'm new on ATM 8 so i dont know how to use many mods. Your video was very clear and well teached. Today I did on my world the mekanism melon farm following your video and was a real success ! Thank man keep going !
Love your stuff man. Tyvm! I learned a lot of new things! Thanks!
This helped me so much im subscribing
Hello! I followed all of your steps and most of it has been going smoothly... the one thing that has me stumped though is that my backpack isn't sucking up any mob drops despite me having all three magnet upgrades. I also copied the void upgrade steps so I have no idea what the issue is. I built my farm exactly like yours so I would really love to know what the issue might be. Edit: Not my brightest moment... i hadn't switched the magnet upgrade on... my farm is working great thx for the tutorial
I can't tell you how many times I've done this exact thing lol Glad it works for you!!!
You can also use the vacuum hopper from mob grinding units
@maybe_me3223 I'll check it out, thanks for the tip!
For some reason mine isn’t picking up xp and it’s not voiding my excess of witches hats. I’m on atm 9 tho so some things may have changed
i might not be playing ATM8 but this is still good info as most modpacks use these mods
Alfred, will you be making guides on ATM 9? Now it’s not at all easy to create such farms, especially where to get so much unobotanium from?
Always heard of the Cardboard box , but never thought about it o.O Thank you so much for the tutorial.... my wife and i will the mob farm tonight out :D
That's awesome! I love the cardboard boxes. They move chests too!
very well explained just an amazing tutorial
I have a question someone might be able to answer, hopefully. I made this farm and it works great. i am still early game so i dont have all the things to make it spawn like crazy. My question is: how do I get my items from the drawers? Awesome tutorial btw. I hope you keep making videos like this.
Usually, you just left click to pull items out.
@@AlfredGGMC ok thank you i will try that
I followed that tutorial to make the mob farm, size of the farm and everything except the dragon egg because I'm still too early in the game to get those. The problem is that the blaze spawn everywhere, not only inside the zone of the farm, which makes it really annoying because I can't let the farm going without being there to kill the ones that spawn around the area. Second problem is that not all the items are being collected, some of them get stuck at the first line of the mob masher. But the tutorial is still good, thank you for your work !
You need to use Blaze Rods to reduce the spawn distance on the Blaze spawner. You can get it down to 1 or 2, and that should stop them from spawning everywhere.
The backpack should be close enough to pick up those items if that's what you are using as a collection system, so that's weird that it doesn't pick it up. Hope this helps!
@@AlfredGGMC yes, thank you very much for your answer, it's working fine now ! 😁
love the pack specific tutorials
Thai video was insanely helpful, you definitely have gained a sub! I appreciate the help as I’m about to dive into this pack and start my ATM adventure!! Do you have a let’s play of this? Id love to watch you play this awesome pack (as a tutorial for myself 😂)
I do have a playthrough! And I'm also doing another one soon!
you can stack the stack upgrade to up to 4 million items per slot! (with just four of them)
I was waiting for the tutorial
Edit: one question, how much XP does the farm generate?
A lot. I mean a lot a lot. You can easily add more spawners, or specifically just spawn things that drop the most experience. I know during my playthrough I easily got thousands of levels just letting it run.
@@AlfredGGMC wow ok didn't expect it to give you so much xp
thank you
I assume this is still valid for atm 9?
Yes! You will just need different upgrade items.
Great tutorial, the best… take my sub!
I used armory cabinets myself, but found there is a bug with them, if you extract from them with a pipez pipe or a few other types of pipe, and there's nowhere for the item to go, instead of staying in the cabinet it gets voided. I was using the nbt filtering option of pipez to sort items based on whether they were enchanted/had apotheosis prefixes, or were damaged. This way I could auto-disenchant them dumping the enchants into an enchantment library, the apotheosis equipment I could manually scrap for rarity materials, and the damaged stuff I could maybe dump into a colossal blood chest or something to repair them.
You can use extra armory cabinets to make sure there's enough storage on the receiving end, and there are some transport pipes that don't void the items.
Hi Alfred, I stumbled upon your ATM8 mob farm video few days ago, and it definitely drawn me to watch the full series (tbh I was looking for how can I get a companion like Body). As many comments said, you deserve so much more subs, I subbed when you have 6.20k, and I sincerely hope you will get much more!
To save me some time, I written the steps with timestamp for easy reference, if you haven't watched the full video, please do since I intentionally left out some tricks. 😉
==============================================================
Important Material List (not including general building materials):
5 x Spawner and Spawn Eggs (can be more)
9 x Redstone Glasses/Block
9 x Mob Masher (with upgrades)
6 x Redstone Link (number of spawners+1)
2 x Ender Inhibitors
==============================================================
Steps with timestamp:
0:18 1. Get spawners (at least 5), using Mekanism's Cardboard Box, or Silk Touch
1:34 2. Get spawn eggs using Mob Swab method: Blaze, Cave Creeper, Enderman, Witch, Wither Skeleton
3:06 (Tips: use chicken spawner to have infinite chickens🐔)
3:22 3. Build 9x9 square exterior (7x7 internal spawn area)
3:48 4. Build the killzone, 5 blocks wide, 4 blocks from one side (i.e. 4x3 internal area), 2 blocks deep, lowest layer being redstone glasses/blocks x 9, and a layer of Mob Mashers x 9 (can start out 3 if early game then expand)
4:52 5. Entity Convery/Vector Plates x 52 to move mobs to killzone
5:48 6. Build the tower with heights of 11 blocks (3 spacers + 5 spawners + 2 spacers + 1 top)
6:05 7. Build the killzone with heights of 4 blocks (3x3 windows at the front), ethereal glasses x 9 at the front.
The tower should now be 9x9 exterior with 11 blocks height. Killzone is 4 blocks out and 4 blocks high)
6:52 8. Start from the center of the 7x7 area, with 3 block spaces starting from the ground, the 4th block will the first spawner (use redstone comparators to give redstone control to spawers), stacks the other spawners on the top, 2 blocks (e.g. vertical slaps) in the spacer and reached the ceiling
8:00 9. Use Create's Redstone Links x 6 to give wireless control, 5 on the spawners, 1 on the killzone side wall
8:40 10. Place 2 blocks over the top Redstone Link so mobs won't get stuck
9:00 11. Set the spawners to desired mobs
9:13 12. Put Ender Inhibitors x 2 at the front and the back
10:00 13. Upgrade all spawners (dragon egg, nether star, sugar, clock, blaze rod, chrous fruit, wool), note that don't use chrous fruit on slime spawner
13:23 14. Set up the collection system, at least gold backpacks
13:50 15. Apply Advanced Magnet Upgrade, Tank Upgrade (for experience), Advanced Void Upgrade (set on "Works in GUI as well", "Void Overflow", "Block"), Stack Upgrade (optional)
16:00 16. Extract item and experience
Love the notes! I forgot to add timestamps myself, and they are added now! Thank you so much for the kind words.
After using it for a while, it does make the server TPS dropped quite a lot, ~8 in my case (normal should be 20). I believe tweaking the entites count might help but I haven't tested it out, if you wish to have it running in a sustainable way.
@@jackytsz This is definitely not meant to be run by a lot of people, mainly used for singleplayer worlds. Mainly at max speed lol
@@AlfredGGMC I just updated the pack to 1.0.18 and I am not sure the exact reason, but it seems the farm (with 6 spawners) is now running fine without disturbing the server tps, which is surprising.
Amazing video, i try this now at ATM9 :D
commenting for algorithm purposes great content!
This is a perfect tutorial thank you sm
Not really sure whats happening i built the farm and everything how it should be and for a while it was running fine but now my slime spawner is not spawning anything i followed the video exactly and did everything like using the egg to ignore conditions but now nothing is spawning (slimes were spawning for a while and now they just arent) i havent changed anything with the spawner and im just confused any help would be great
You probably need to give the slimes more space to spawn, and make sure that the spawn range is at least 3 for them.
@@AlfredGGMC ah it was the spawn range thanks!
This is incredible, thank you for sharing.
Probably very late to comment this, but if you want to set up a farm with glass but arent strong enough to get a dragon egg yet, use the tinted glass from mob grinding utils mod.
Excited for a new video!
For anyone wondering you will need to create 72 swords for the mob mashers alone and to max out the sharpness it will cost 360 swords so 432 all together hope this helps
Best youtuber!
I think the easiest way to get spawners is by the ars spellbook with a ranged+extract+break spell.
Didn't know that works!
Yay alfred its the best thanks ❤❤❤
Amazing video!
if youre using this on a modpack with mahou, you can use the damage spell to increase mahou, works as a good replacement for the smashers
Is there a limit as to how tall it can be? I need a MASSIVE amount of spawners for all the types of mobs I need to grind. Also love the vids! Keep it up!
Hi! I have a question if you use the armory cabinet, how would you do things like breaking down the armors if it doesn't have an interface?
You can still pull things out of it with a pipe
Earned a sub👍 need more tutorial videos For ATM8...very helpfull
A little bit late but i use the absorption hopper to collect items and xp you can connect it to the xp crystall an a chest for the xp and items.
A nice tip is to add redstone links under the mashers so you can turn them off
Definitely amazing video here's a few changes that I would personally make at the start of the game when you're first building the farm don't have a lot of resources like dragon egg etcetera build the structure out of whatever you want to as long as the inside is dark I prefer to use dark glass and dark ethereal glass then again using whatever conveyor or vector plate you want to direct everything in like you did except only use one mob Masher that's all you really need put a redstone controller at the bottom of that as well that way you can turn it on and off remotely and personally I like to use the absorption Hopper going into a chest on one side and a tank on the other then from there sort the loot out however you want to here's a bit of a question for you in previous packs the backpacks have been unstable and lose inventory sometimes when placed on the ground which is why I avoid them like the plague any idea if that's been fixed again loved the video
Thank you so much!
atm 9 nerfed this hard alot
I’ve managed to use a very small 2 spawner setup that’s basically maxed without piglich hearts (spawn count). They just take longer to generate resources, it’s not too bad.
What changed
To decrease spawn time. Need unobtainium + allthemodium. To increase spawn count, need piglich hearts @@erkamtb
Go to the allthemodium dungeon and get some vindicator spawners they have a min spawn time of 40
Whats the highest XP droppin mob?
Love the tutorial, just need my ATM 8 to stop crashing all the time.
Great videos , worth a subscribe
What mod is the one that lets you upgrade the spawners?
Apotheosis!
Nice and easy. Gotta think if i want to redo/upgrade mine, coz i made dreadful dirt + spawners for those specific mobs that are not spawning from it(Vindicator, Blaze,Wither Skel) + Tinted ethereal glass so its dark inside ,but i can go through .
great video!!!! btw what mob drops diamonds?
Cave Creeper!
THAT EGG TIP BRO
I have a question about the mob drops, is there a way to auto smelt the raw iron and raw gold coming from the cave creeper with something like the mekanism one in the quest book? Thanks for the mob farm I'm loving it so far
Usually I'll hook up an RS system to the drawers via an external storage on the Controller. Then I'll just set up recipes for autosmelting from there!
@@AlfredGGMCThanks!
i love how he tried making this as available for early game as possible, while still including items like dragon eggs and nether stars
You don't need either of those things in the early game. If you stay near it, you won't need Nether Stars. You won't need Dragon Eggs as long as the conditions meet. Slimes need to be in Slime Chunks, or you can build below ylvl ~40 to make cave creepers work without the Egg.
@@AlfredGGMC yeah, i realised that the farm works just fine if i make the walls obscured glass and use sugar and stuff on the spawners, i dont really need it to be more efficient as of right now. Thanks, great guide!
This mob farm is just so insane. maybe 3 minutes and got all the drops i'll ever need. haha.
Hey my spawners don't respond to redstone, how can I change that?
Same. They keep spawning.
@@Warthog1220 same
Quality planning and fine execution for top tier mob farm, although it's prolly not gonna be your first mob farm (one prolly cobbled together from bamboo spikes and mob fans over dreadful dirt ^^;)
very big video, thanks
I have a problem, I have added the redstone links but even with the redstone control thingy, it still doesn’t turn off no matter what I do
Make sure you have all of the redstone links set to receive mode (little antenna thing). If even one is not set right, it'll keep it turned on.
You can set up a less functional version of this earlier in the game with less complexity by putting a stack of redstone controlled spawners (selecting your spawners for which mobs you want) in an enclosed (dark) 9x9 room (tall enough to have 3 blocks below and 2 above the stack) with water placed on the floor to push mobs towards an exit. I don't think it works with blazes or flying mobs, sadly.
Then you can have a 1 block wide kill tunnel/box where you either manually hit them, or have 1-2 mob mashers.
You can even set the mob mashers up to be toggleable by placing redstone links on the bottom of them.
Definitely not as fast but it can be done earlier, and upgraded once you have more resources.
The lever to turn it off isn’t working and I’m confused cause I followed everything in the video but it isn’t working for some reason
For all the ATM9 players:
This is such a great tutorial video! Very detailed and easy to follow.
I was hoping this would be working for ATM9, but it seems like both the witches and creepers are spawning outside the box.
I'm thinking of making it a 11x11 box, and hopefully that can resolve the issue.
Is this happening when the spawn range is reduced to 3?
@@AlfredGGMC I made this in my ATM9 world, not having any problems with it after setting spawn range to 3.
I made this in ATM 9 and not having any trouble at all with the spawn range, even though I didn't reduce it at all. I used tinted glass and the area outside the spawner is well-lit.
was making this farm on atm 9 but i cant use most of the mats on my spawners to make them work
im having the same problem
Ditto
nice bro
Very nice detailed tutorial. When I saw your original one on your ATM8 Let's Play series, I create one just like it. Is there a trick to get Slime Cubes to spawn with this type of setup?
I mention this in the video! Just set the spawner to a slime, and make sure the spawner doesn't have "Remove AI" on it!
@@AlfredGGMC I did not have the "Remove AI" on the spawner. I had to use the Dragon Egg to get it to spawn slimes.
@@msbuck007 I think they want a particular y level to spawn
@@sheacasby393 do u know wat particular Y level .. cause I am badly needing slime to spawn and I cant get them to spawn at all ... I don;t know if slime spawner can go in with all the rest or do I have to make a seperate mob farm just for them .. really want slime pearls badly lol I could care less about the other mobs lol need slimes
Im playing atm9 and the items get transfered very slow (from storage controller/backpack to the drawers), is there any way to speed it up or why is it much slower than in your video?
Make sure to use a pipe upgrade!
@@AlfredGGMC TYVM!!
I was happy with a simple spawner or two but now this is like winning the lotto!!!
it's actually insane! and really bad for servers lol
So idk if anyone else has this same issue but, i was unable to get the cave creepers or slime without being in certain areas. My slimes would only spawn in swamp biomes and cave creepers wouldn't spawn unless below y -10(didnt test much in between Y 80 and -10).
I go over this in the upgrading spawners section!
@@AlfredGGMC while yes you went over mobs having certain conditions, didn't specify them for the arguably 2 most important mobs in this grinder. And many of us haven't killed the dragon beyond the first time needed.
@@chuckelz666 if u figure it out let me know ? i could care less about other mobs .. slime r the most important ones at least for me anyway lol and I cant get them to spawn lol
use a dragon egg on the spawners@@larrystevens6536
Hii is it possible for you to mention all the mods used. I m not making this build in all the mods 8 but in my personal custom world.
Also can u tell what mod did u use for the mob spawner upgrades
honestly, the most important i picked up on this video was how to use the void upgrade on the backpack 🤣👍
worth noting that the spawners actually dont work if you're outside the 128 block radius if you're in the same dimension. yes they still spawn entities, but those entities just flash into oblivion due to the vanilla spawn conditions. to bypass this, just put your mob grinder in a different dimension than the one you most frequent
So the xp goes straight into the crystal? Im guessing you can then convert that xp to levels
Yep! And it's super easy to get it out too.
Thank you for this, but man.. some expensive stuff in this. Who knew I’d regret throwing away all those slim balls
Slime balls are SO important! If you have slime pearls, you can convert those to slime balls!
@@AlfredGGMC Not even 30min after I posted this I saw a post online about someone mentioning a slime pearl. I had only 4 slim balls and now I have a diamond chest full of them!
Also this farm took me a while to make but it is beyond amazing! So many levels and goodies! Thank you so much!
شكرا لك، لقد ساعدتني كثيرا في فهم المود وارجوا ان تستمر في هذا🌹👍🏻😊
Holy shit this is saving my ass hardcore
I'm certain that I missed something in the video, but I'm having difficulty getting the armour to void out of the system on its own. Seems to clog up my storage pretty quickly. Can someone explain where I went wrong here? I am using Backpack void upgrade and storage drawers void upgrade, still the armour and tools build up in my backpack.
Make sure the void settings match what I have in the video! Otherwise stick an Armory Cabinet to the output pipe!
u can use armory cabinet it will hold a lot of it and then u can pipe it to another drawer or just destroy it
should this also work in all the mods 9? Im trying to modify the spawners with sugar and clocks etc. but the only one that works in the dragon egg, anyone know a fix?
Same here
@@killuamexe ATM 9 made changes you can go to JEI and then @apoth to see the mod spawner changers. They made some changes to be more expensive. Lowering the min time now takes Allthemodium and the max takes vibranium. Also the minimum is set to 100 instead of 20.
Love the content! Quick question, i built this but mobs are spawning outside of the glass as well
Make sure to reduce the spawn range down to 2 or 3!
Anyone know why i cant upgrade any spawners besides using the dragon egg i cant use sugar or clocks or anything
they changed it to something else i just don't know what.
