    This farm is made for Java edition (I have not tested in bedrock, so please don't ask me if it works there or not--you could test it in creative and find out if you want). While the crafters are for 1.21 only, the rest of it should be compatible with many previous versions.
    If you have a question about the build, search the help channels in my discord and get help there! It's much easier than commenting here: discord.gg/VMPjqa5NxF
    If you want to learn more about the spawning algorithm or are confused about some of the terminology I use, Nico has a great video on the mechanics that I would highly recommend watching here: ua-cam.com/video/ShrG24eWC7g/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

      Boat clock is probably the only thing that may not work, but spawning mechanics are vastly different in Bedrock so this may not be the optimal design and rates will be significantly lower regardless of design. Building multiple towers spaced out by 4 chunks would increase rates in Bedrock due to density checks.

    An easy way to distinguish copycats and content farmers is to go into the comments, if the comments are only praise and how incredible and mind-blowing the design is you can safely leave, in almost all the respectable channels you can find a trove of information and suggestions for improvements and genuine discussion with the creators and mentions for other people's designs and ideas which can be used to improve everyone's experience, the bad ones always remove those comments and simply shadow ban anyone criticizing or suggesting alternatives

      @@AyaanThe0ne I figure the same. In the one I built in a test, I omitted the glass bottle storage for R/F. I figure that it doesn't cost anything to include it in the storage, and if you don't use it, once the chests are full, it will just burn anyway, so there's no real reason not to save at least some of it.
      IMHO, this is a late early game farm. At that point in the game, you're usually still needing emeralds, and if you can breed up a good amount of clerics, then RF is great for this. Iron works too, but its a useful resource, so I prefer not to trade it, sticks are good, but to get a decent enough amount, you either need a huge bamboo farm, or manual spruce cutting.

You also showed every alternative route the design could have taken during the process of changing every aspect of the farm y why they wouldn't work or why they would be worse.

    Have you considered tripwire hooks for triggering the flushing of the kill platform? You could use a small pulse extender and start the flushing about 3 seconds after the last mob triggered a tripwire hook. This would avoid any sync issues between the two clocks, wouldn't it?

      Edit: I tested this out and got it working on my mob farm q&a stream. It ended up being a little more complicated than I thought (maybe someone could make it less expensive?).

    After that video, I made my own dye farm in a chunk wide footprint. Every dye had full toggleability with automatic dye crafting, and restockability. The original design inspired one of my proudest redstone creations at this point.
    I loved working on that project and look to re-work it in the future to be most optimal for me!
    Imaging hooking a farm like the one shown in this video to a dye farm with things like auto craftable concrete and other colored blocks! So much potential!

    A cheap farm is an underground farm I made.
    Below ground, carve out a 16x16 two high chamber with a two wide chasm in the middle. On each end is 16 trapdoors holding water sources. At the bottom you have a water source that floats the mobs to one side. You can make a creeper mob farm next to it and position them so that you can get skellies to shoot creepers for records. One thing I am working on is one platform that separates the mobs so the creeper only is not needed.
    The nice thing is that as you dig, you find the other stuff like iron and redstone you can use later.
    Repeat each layer 4 levels down. This allows one redstone torch column to trigger all of the water-logged trapdoors.
    The mobs drop 19 levels, just enough to let them die with one sword smack.

    I like how this covers an umbrella of things from the mobfarm content meta to the actual game mechanics and how each thing works. I don't normally sub to minecraft creators/content, but videos like these with this level of detail and history are worthy of a sub + more.
    I will definitely refer to this as a basis for intel on my own farm projects, great job!

    9:39 issues with the signal propagating upward are completely resolved if you use slabs over each dispenser, thereby waterlogging each slab when activated. The slabs will prevent backflow of water when the source is removed; for such a simple solution it is vastly superior to have the signal travel from the bottom upward, especially for early game with no access to elytra and how much it saves on build time for a water elevator, ladder, or otherwise redstone torch tower to toggle the farm all the way at the top.

    I started playing in 2020 and it was a jungle to get into with all those fake videos and stolen designs (at that time especially from Shulkercraft). I did learn though, as I got so addicted to Minecraft, and today I'm a MC UA-camr myself - I actually found my dream education as an Electronics Technician through Minecraft, since I found that I was pretty neat at Redstone.

    A member of my Discord community recommended this to me, and I am glad they did! The insights about UA-cam search and users rehashing the same farm designs explained a lot to me. Because I have posted lots of questions, trying to understand things, and gotten no real answers.
    When I built an iron farm I took what little I knew and the facts that Logical Geek Boy explained, and made my own design. I wanted to understand the various aspects of the farm. I never tried to do that with a mob farm, but you have explained things very well here, and now perhaps I will.
    Thank you for all your work here. If you ever feel like wasting an afternoon, perhaps take a look at my iron farm design and let me know what I did right and what I did wrong? I am happy with it and the rates it produces, but I would love to make it better!

    16:40 The directionality here makes sense, its almost certainly to do with how the hitboxes are aligned by the water before squeezing past the fence. This way around, the water does not push it to the wall first and it has the space to hit the end of the fence because of the pressure plate. The other way around, the water pushes the boat against the wall first, so the hitbox squeezes by.

    00:58 I was thinking about this exact thing the other day. I wanted to look up a melon/pumpkin farm design, but I just kept getting the same two options posted by all these channels. I was mainly concerned with the trade off between efficiency, ease of creation, and modularity/footprint. I ended up going with, what I later learned was a pretty inefficient option, but it was good enough to be honest. I just wish I would have known more ahead of time.
    Really appreciate you for this reason :D

    this is so satisfying because I'd build the farms knowing there's a TON of lost optimization but i didn't know enough about mob mechanics and i was too lazy to research all the hidden tips and mechanics
    the one that was most important to me was the signal 2 item filter section
    i found it weird that there would be so much jamming in the hoppers but i just didn't know that item batching could be used in such a way
    very neat

  • @JackieJKENVtuber
    @JackieJKENVtuber 29 днів тому

    Brilliant, and it's always great when the builder walks us through the design process. Just one small problem I find here... For a beginner design, this requires a lot of string for scaffolding - not as much as some others though - and bamboo, which is a pain to get a hold of if you don't spawn at or near a jungle. Though I guess this could become its own discussion of what is and isn't "early game" and whatnot

    @nightismonochrome 2 місяці тому +1

    Love what you're doing. Few years ago when I was really into Minecraft, I had run into so many youtube channels that just copied other youtubers or stole their designs and it was so disheartening. Especially as some of the main channels I watched were the technical youtubers like Gnembon and Ilmango, just having their designs stolen with no credit. The copy pasted clickbaity "per version" ones were getting really annoying too. Such to the point where trying to search for the originals kept leading to pppular low effort tutorials I had to sift through just to find what I was looking for.
    The amount of effort you put into your videos are great too and highly appreciated. I already know most of the things explained, but I still gush over hearing people talk about it and it's one of my most favorite things about the community.
    Not to mention the idea of expanding the spawn platform area by including non-spawn blocks in the center when you were talking about spawn velocity. It was one of the most obvious yet big brained answers I probably never would've thought of. I haven't played Minecraft in over a year, but this is the kind of stuff that keeps me up to date with the game. Cheers.

  • @Megabobster
    @Megabobster 6 днів тому

    a few things i think are worth bringing up: the etho design was created before it was possible to flush mobs and relied purely on random pathfinding, but modern pathfinding based mob farms are surprisingly good because it was discovered (or it changed at some point, idk) that mobs only pathfind to full blocks. that design is extremely powerful early game in skyblock (see: ilmango skyblock).
    also worth noting that not all upwards propagating gnembom variants are bad, see ianxofour's design.
    also there's another kind of flushing based farm that i don't see mentioned a lot and that's the sethbling farm. i don't think it's that good compared to all the modern knowledge and techniques we have access to but i used that design for a long time so it sticks out in my mind. i think etho used it in a season of the life series for a creeper farm but i could be wrong.

    One little note because I'm at the point where you talk about it right now - for an upwards propagating signal you can just waterlog a slab or fence or similar with the dispenser and you won't have the issue of repeatedly firing the upper observers because the water can't flow back in.

    This reminded me that about two years ago I modified gnembon's design as well to turn it into my primary gunpowder source, I set up the farm almost touching the ocean, ran a water tunnel into a column and my killing platform made the spawn sphere work perfectly to my favor. I also used the usual 1 hit height drop + looting and made sure to put glass blocks in certain parts of the farm to remove spiders from the equation.
    Ironically, when I tried also putting trapdoors on the ceiling to only let creepers spawn, the gunpowder per hour rate went down, so I had to leave skeletons and zombies spawn as well....

    I feel like to sync the boat clocks you could keep only the bottom one and use a trapdoor, scaffolding and one observer to carry a redstone signal all the way to the top to trigger the flushers. The platform would be quite large to run repeaters to delay flushing. In my opinion, mining enough redstone for a few repeaters probably takes as much time as 2-3 tries of syncing that boat clock, minus the headache.

    7:15 I agree with you that itʼs deceptive to talk about raw drop rates mixed together, but Iʼm not sure what the best option is. Because I also donʼt want bones (melon or moss bonemeal farms are remarkably fast) and in general you donʼt know what I find valuable. And I might be able to filter out some or all of the mobs I donʼt like (with very little *effort* but you need either game knowledge or a guide) which affects the rates for all the others.

    I'm not quite sure why you'd want to do the hassle of two synchronised boat clocks. It seems to me that propagating the signal down with a 3x1 wall stack + trapdoor (idk how to call it, I'm sure you know what I mean). I managed to fit all redstone within the same chunk as your upstairs clock. The large farm roof leaves one block in the chunk to thread a redstone signal through.
    With only one clock upstairs, the synchronisation is exclusively done by the correct number of comperators, which can easily be demonstrated in the guide, and if the timing is wrong it can be adjusted instead of reattempted
    I implemented this, and with exactly 10 repeaters on max delay, 1 Observer to read the wall update, one Bulb and one Comperator it seems to have the correct delay to flush
