Does it matter what biome the portal spawns in for the piglins?

[@jayarr55]

The piglins won't spawn after I ignited the portal. I also placed a sunflower and built the portal facing the same orientation ..

[@jayarr55]

Do I have dig.down 20 blocks for the portal farm? I went down 13 and discovered a huge cave.. can't go any lower

Just a warning for the gold farm one, make sure it is far away enough from other portals, if it’s not they will link and you will end up bombarded by angry pigmen in the nether

[@GrubbleGubble]

How far did you make yours???

[@vizitize10]

@ like 100 blocks but that’s when it didn’t work so probably closer to 250 blocks away

Warning for silver fish farm, good farm but for some reason there was a time they didn’t get killed and now there are a million silverfish in my base

Silver fish can eat some type of blocks and one of them is stone brick use a wood type to make a farm they cant eat that

[@domesticatednubs4615]

Tip for armadillo farm: make a 3x3x1 hole to stand underneath the walls and let the xp fall in a waterfall onto your head. Much easier to make sure you get it all

You can use more armadillos, but you also have to add one extra trident per armadillo.

On the portal farm the zombified piglins don’t spawn when I light the portal, I’ve broken and replaced the obsidian multiple times.

[@MomoGrimes-e5b]

Ngl I gooned to this post

[@juderbutter564]

its the direction the portal is facing is the problem if you get a sunflower and place it by the portal the piglins will spawn in the direction the sunflower is facing so you need to oriant the portal and the water catcher on the side the flower is facing and put the maching on the opposite side.

[@oz6184]

I just had to wait a minute and one spawned

[@joecasso2189]

I know this is such basic info but please next time say that they are splash potions not normal ones XDDD I was so confused for 15 mins why the farm wasnt working. I am a newbie haha. other than that thank you so much!

I died doing the first one bc I was so eager to use it once I finished building it that it was nighttime and I ignored it. Put it on hard and started. Got jumped by 3 husks and a creeper. But still when I picked up my xp from my death I went up 17 levels. Then started it again, and after 3 minutes. Starting at level 17, I got to level 44 before my game crashed from lag 😂

[@aydentempleton1954]

hey i was just curious how far should i make the gold farm from my base?

[@by_James]

That doesn't matter for the farm itself. If you want to use it by afking near the farm, build it a good distance away, so the portal doesn't annoy you when playing normally.

[@aydentempleton1954]

oh, alright, thank you! happy hoidays! ​@by_James

Me thinking the armadillo farm seems survival friendly... sees the tridents 😮

[@PapaG-cg4os]

u can just use splash potion of harming

[@by_James]

So either use splash potions of harming or build a trident farm, there are some great designs out there!

[@Hadi_Sleiman]

The first farm makes no sense the animals just die

[@Dannygrey333]

The point is to get the xp

[@tdsvideoburner]

Do the tridents break after damaging too many silverfish?

[@by_James]

No, they wont lose durability at all.

[@cloudyquakes821]

In me and my friends world we had the iron golem and trident xp farm, same idea as the armadillo but the silverfish stopped dropping xp and it won’t work anymore, should I just wait, is there a certain amount of xp you can get from on thing in a world?

[@Exvinity2.0]

Is it possible to make even more portals to double the rates?

Yeah you can, but it could result in more lag.

@by_James okay thank u,

[@Dustin-xi7zi]

Im too lazy to farm the Tridents. is there a other option to kill the Silverfishes efficient?

[@by_James]

Probably not, they are spawning insanely fast, so manually killing them can't keep up. Other options don't yield xp...

[@javierandre-orlich430]

The fish farm doesn't work anymore (since a couple of updates ago). When I place the lava it breaks the rail and the minecart with the hopper. The rail is destroyed, and the minecart ends inside the chest. The way I fixed this was by placing another hopper instead of the rail/minecart (I guess you can simply remove the entire layer instead). Just tested it in creative and it did catch all the items, though a few ended up in my inventory instead of the chest. (I'm on bedrock 1.21.44, for iOS)

[@spidey_SK]

Just add a sign board just the same block of mincart

@@by_James Yeah but as I said, you don't actually need the minecart at all, nor the rail or the sign. Just don't include that layer, make everything exactly the same but with the lava layer sitting on top of the hopper. It works just the same, but consuming fewer materials.

Make sure the armadillos are in their shells and are taking damage. If they are not taking damage, you haven't built that piston part correctly and if the armadillos are dying out of suffocation, you didn't place the zombie in right position. You also must have potions of infestation in the dispenser and the armadillos must be affected with that infestation effect If your farm is still not working, tell me in details so that I can help :)
