Hermitcraft IX 1065 The Easiest Froglight Farm Yet?

[@secondengineer9814]

Maybe the quest should read "buy something you haven't bought this season". There are always so many cool shops, and some of them aren't necessarily that useful, but are still fun to use.

Hello xisuma, The green frog jumped out of the nether when you brought the frogs into the nether at 15:06 , then it walked into the portal back into the nether, frogs can't jump that high, the green frog never was in the farm, and the other green frog died in the ice probably

[@thegameplayer125]

yeah i noticed that as well. 1 or 2 never came out of the netherportal which allowed that green 1 to get out of the lead

When i got them in the farm, all were accounted for. Not everything is shown on camera :-)

I absolutley LOVE chunkbase! As someone who cant put hours and hours into the game on a daily basis, chunkbase is a really helpful tool to find biomes. I think it's really cool that X uses it too.

[@brandonplays702]

Same. And it also helps to find biomes for new update so you don’t have to explore unnecessary chunks!

[@rocketptheracoon9226]

@@brandonplays702 True, but it also becomes a pain trying to keep track of what you have explored and haven't explored. Like I have a world created in 1.16 and recently attempted to find some goats, but in one direction the terrain generation didn't match up at all, but in the other it almost immediately synced

You can “hatch” tadpoles in the Nether, which counts as a hot biome, so you really only need to find the border of a temperate biome & a cold biome.

[@pinkpapita6345]

Consider putting a roof on the farm, it can reduce server lag from 40mspt down to 15-20mspt. Frogs cause a lot of lag due to their complex jumping and pathfinding and a roof eliminates that entirely. Plus it'll solve the frog jumping out problem.

[@BeeBird]

Does the roof have to be at a specific height? (edit: for the pathfinding)

[@pinkpapita6345]

@@BeeBird I guess 4-5 blocks. Alternatively could also use a honey floor or just fill the entire layer with powdered snow instead of every alternate block.

[@OliviaCynderAera]

In Etho's single player world, he found a spot in the basalt delta which linked up next to a temperate and cold biome which gave him perfect conditions for getting all 3 frogs (hot climate frogs can be made in the nether).

[@Fireheart318]

I don’t think it’s cheaty at all: It’s an incentive to keep people spending diamonds at shops, so that diamonds keep moving around the economy. Furthermore, half the battle of owning a shop is getting people in the door: the quest gives people an excuse to go buy something they generally wouldn’t under normal circumstances (say some quartz ore or something else that’s easy but kinda tedious to get), but since you’re being paid to shop anyway, ya might as well buy it. The player gets free diamonds and “free” stuff, the shop gets a new, potentially repeat customer… everybody wins.

[@Adeseo]

I miss the old intro music too, and it’s almost 1000 episodes since it’s first use! I’d love if you brought it back for a bit!

[@janeweber8654]

Honestly love the free shop idea - one thing I miss from the earlier seasons was that not everything was commercial. There were always shops, but most were for services rather than items, stuff mass produced (like iron) was usually for the whole community

[@jjh3365]

Maybe not cheating but perhaps exactly at Ren intended 👍 I am loving watching everyone working on the quests and mixing up the videos. 💙

[@eloquentornot]

I think I noticed you accidentally lead one of the frogs back through the portal during the building montage. Also I don't think it's a flaw for you to be able to earn more diamonds than you spend to do a quest!

[@ibalisticcat4439]

that timelapse music was banging! absolutely love the content, keep up the amazing work

[@thedrewsephYT]

My dude, total thank you from the bottom of my Minecraftian heart. The day you released this video, I went on to my Realm and found a spot exactly like this. Took down the location, and I'll be back to build my frog farm in no time! There's even some SNOW BLOCKS near by to collect so I can build the Slime Farm too!!!! Thank you for the suggestion. My theory? These kind of spawn locations (like the one for the multiple frog spawn location), aren't actually that rare. We've just yet to have a type of thing to spawn like this, and we've yet to need to find the location for it until now. But thank you for the helpful suggestion non-the less! Pro Minecrafter tips with xisumavoid!

[@justin.booth.]

In Etho's latest episode he did a similar thing but used the nether as a hot biome so he only needed to put the portal between two biomes, so they were instantly transported to the farm, probably the easiest possible!

[@cjrensh]

You need like a Futurama "definitely not a suicide pod" pod

[@pesegolsson]

Cub has a powdersnow farm if you need more powdered snow in the future. btw frogs can jump 8 blocks high, so you might want to raise the walls or add a glass roof.

[@NeverackWinteright]

This video is tempting me to make a frog light farm, seeing as how easy it is and how rewarding it can be.

[@chaoswarriorbr]

As some people pointed out, honey blocks as floor for the farm prevent the frogs from jumping. Ilmango also tested this, actually making the farm less laggy, likely from the frogs not pathing for the jump. He also discovered separating the different colored frogs creates more consistency in the amount of lamps per color. It's quite interesting adapting the rail cart unloader to the Nether. Obviously you can do more carts in segregated lines and slower unloaders to ajust the output if needed.

[@Shaqu1le0atmeal]

12:50 that transition was so smooth

I’ve been using chunkbase on bedrock for a very long time and I love it so much. It is very useful for finding basically anything you need.

[@shaunacall4685]

I love it when you take a second to explore a new build…it makes me curious to go check out other hermit’s videos. I really like the format and editing style of your videos-they are perfect decompress after a busy day. Your streams are also great for listening to while I’m busy.

[@khirnera]

Hey Xisuma, i'm not a regular watcher but i'm an occasional fan of several hermits so i'm familiar with you and your videos. I wanted to thank you for this farm video! I was going to build a somewhat similar build that would have been a lot more intensive and probably prone to occasionally breaking, and probably the occasional ghast spawn (potentially wrecking my build and requiring rebuilds), but the use of automated slime slaying with powdered snow, which doubled as ghast prevention, was brilliant and very cheap! Thanks for offering your wisdom and creative problem solving to your viewers!

[@anand_bhasme]

I guess you probably know about Carpet mod. If you ever want to slow down a contraption, you can use /tick freeze or /tick rate [tps]. Now that you are intrested in technical and redstone side of MC, Carpet mod would be a great help

[@YoungZibzy]

Nice video X! Great season so far Maybe you could try adding more iron bars to the filters in the nether? It'll lower number of froglights in the filters and allow more to be collected at a time

[@MattAngell1210]

I really liked the Timelapse/progress video combination. It seemed to flow really well in your video. It is fun watching hermits having fun being hermits (rather than working for the likes)

[@StarNanny]

Lol! I love how the frogs look running through the nether on leads. First saw it on Skizz’s vid, and it still never gets old!

[@Dinobaby312]

My favorite part of that double seed drop was that those who are seeing it for the first time jump into the world seed and look around and say hmm doesn't look like HC. haha nice job on relocating ;)

[@LordOmnipraetor]

You could swap out the spawning platform with honey blocks. That way, the frogs won't jump out, and it would reduce lag significantly while the farm is active. See Ilmango's video about this

[@lilgensho]

loved the music section! great work with the episode, xisuma!

[@samueldurston7328]

Having a lovely time lapse and cub at 14:37: "Tango, I need your head"

[@canadianavenger]

nice simplification of the farm! one thing, you don't need the T-flip-flop complexity with the unloader. You could just use a mud block on top of a hopper, and the rail on top of that, no water, no piston... simple and quiet.

[@1224chrisng]

not quite, it won't be fast enough, tho I think Embedded a Hopper Minecart into the mud block might make it just fast enough in this case, you can then replace the mud with a sand block, which makes it easier to build

[@canadianavenger]

@@1224chrisng The item catcher does not need to be super fast, just fast enough to eat up anything grabbed with one pass of the minecart before the next minecart comes. It's also a pretty long cycle before the next drop, so plenty of time for the hopper to suck everything up, ad even clear itself out. (The mudblock/hopper is how Ilmango does it now) Then a dropper system could be used to control the item groupings to be sent down the ice to the sorter, meaning you should be able to get away with a single slice for each. Though if there was any part of the system that could use faster pickup, it is the sorter.

[@Twitchi]

17:20 When that filter design backs up, its signal can bleed over. Despite it claiming to have "overflow protection" I now use a staggered design that some kind reddit user showed me, every other one is like the standard design and the 2n's are a 2 signal strenth detector that passes the signal lower then the original

[@lady.leasara]

Instead of a pressure plate, I usually use a piece of string with an observer watching it.

[@amdkillaplays]

I built a similar froglight farm, the one shown by Avromance. The collection of items was the same with a Hopper minecart, but I had the mikecart empty into a Hopper which fed into a Dropper elevator and back into regular Hopper item filters. For the same size farm with the same number of frogs, it was enough to handle all the items

[@DeedeeDirt]

I wish there were magma slime blocks, I think they would look pretty!

[@penndragyn3728]

Is it weird that I was just thinking about making a frog light farm earlier and this shows up? XD Definitely going to see if I can pull the trick with the three biomes. Thank you for the tip and another wonderful video, X! Even if you have to take it slow, I'm a big fan of your work.

[@BlockDriver]

I think the frogs can die in the snow. Impulse had frogs go missing from his frog ligh farm as well and his design uses the powdered snow as well.

[@NikolisKitchen]

Your frogs may just be finding a way to die somehow. I had already conquered a bastion before 1.19 with a magma cube spawner so I converted into a frog farm. I've filled it with frogs twice now, with a full layer of powdered snow over the top, and my frogs keep going missing. The farm is enclosed because of the spawner so there's nowhere for them to jump out but somehow they're still dying. The only thing I can think is that it's in a warped forest biome, and occassionally an Enderman will teleport inside the farm, but I've never seen one attack a frog and I don't know if they aggro with them?

[@Melanie_M]

The derpy frog walking animation never fails to amuse me. That froglight farm might be something that even I could build.... minus that complex redstone unloader storage contraption...

[@YetAnotherJenn]

I don't know if it is super cheaty. Perhaps not as well thought out... might be the kind way to say that. 😂 Lovely frog light farm. Perhaps a glass roof because those froggies certainly can jump high! Have a lovely day, thanks for sharing. ❤️

[@charliebramley]

Love the hermits sharing the mods and tools they use

[@Th3Psych0hippy]

You can use the Nether for your Hot biome, then you only need to find a Temperate and Cold biome area which is easier than all 3 on the overworld side. You do have to pre feed the tadpole slimeballs so it grows up in the nether before it dies. (Etho is a genius)

[@shaydedj]

You could create a gladiator arena using spawners and mob farms to build up critters, red stone to light up the arena, open the gates, and equip the mobs with all those pesky non-stackable items. This would look good at the base of the spine with viewing seats amongst the ribs.

There's so much noise it's hard to listen.

[@zak13...]

With only 4 items from the farm you may not need such an elaborate sorting system. Also, you can add more platforms for spawning and an iron golem to get them in the farm. Love the content and keep on rockin on.

[@andrewhallin]

Glass seems to be the issue with this farm, as the frogs can jump thru it... Raising my tadpoles growing into frogs they immediately jumped thru the glass. The next bug, only magma cream dropped when I fired up the farm. From "TreeBird" it seems that the More Mob Heads datapack from vanilla tweeks is to blame. It changes the loot table for magma slimes, preventing them from dropping froglights. Removing the datapack fixed the drops.

[@BrunoVanVaerenbergh]

on the previous video, I think the optimal block pattern for ice formation is the one formed by a pattern of chess knight moves where you only sidestep to the left (four out of the eight possible targets).

yo xisumavoid, you should totally finish the skeleton. like have the entire skeleton as the center of your base trapped within the mountain, minus one arm, which is your bone shop tower of course.

[@trepidati0n533]

Just easier to feed the tads a stack of slimeballs (2x32) each in the needed biome and bucket them just before they grow up. Takes just a few minutes...100% reliable.

[@ForeverLaxx]

All this extra work for collection when you could have just made the floor of the farm out of honey blocks and used normal hoppers underneath. All you have to do then is change the magma kill method. This has the added benefit of reducing lag caused by the frog jump algorithm. For people who seem to obsess over SciCraft and all these contraptions to do complicated things, you guys ignore ilmango's efforts on figuring out these froglight farms constantly.

[@LightningAussie]

You probably should add a roof as Ghasts WILL spawn occasionally in that farm design. I did the exact same design last week, and the rates are truely amazing.. its nice to get the odd ghast tear and gunpowder as well.

tip for biome placment to find the perfect place to grow tadpoles In 1.18 only certain biomes because it uses noise for biome plament these are Continentalness (ocean placement) Temperature Humidity Weirdness (Peaks and valleys) Erosion (How mountainous or flat the terrain is) And to find a place where biomes meat to give all frog variants next to each other are finding temperate biomes bordering a savanna or jungle in a mountainous area with the snowy peaks if someone wants to know how to find the perfect place for a frog farm it is a bit more complicated than what i said but tihis is a easy way of finding a location like what xisuma found there is a outdated image on the wiki showing how biomes where placed before it was changed but it is similar in modern minecraft

If you use honey blocks for the floor they won’t jump and damage themselves. Also increases production. You could also section the platform off for each type.

I believe that frog you're missing went back through the nether portal when you were first dragging them to the farm. If you look back the lead went through the portal *probably* dragging the frog back through it.

[@NebulaOfAshka]

Hey X, I understand you are not burnt out this season but looking for something to change pace. So I have an idea for the Hermits next world or another One life, double Life type world to keep things ever changing and interesting. Water World with life leaching granted randomly to a few players. Please allow me to explain in more detail. The world has a starting island that is small and barren with little to no resources for the Hermits to make introductions and learn the rules and goals. Then everyone is given a boat(or not-you choose if they have to craft it) and scatter to the seven seas. When the timer counts down someone is granted life leach. The affected player has no control over their abilities and will slowly drain the life energy from other players. If they choose exile, then after some time with no sustenance(life force energy) they will get a hunger affect and soon drain their own life. Death is also not a cure for your curse, but you can pass it on to other Hermits. (Not sure how this would be done) I really hope you see this comment and perhaps enjoy the idea for a fun game variant. As always, you are a legend and thank you and all the Hermits for your continued efforts to entertain the world. Peace ✌️

[@DJDroz-tz4qc]

Once you update to 1.19.1 you can use Allays to transport items into your Nether storage system. The only issue I've found is that if you load the Allay before the note block it might forget about it and start following you instead, which can be problematic since they teleport to you when you go though a portal.

I love how convoluted getting froglights are. step one: name and leash frog step two: take the frog to hell step three: ?????? step four: profit It could have easily been magma cream. i mean, they eat slimeballs to breed! but even that is complicated compared to the original plan: they eat fireflies, which naturally spawn in the same area as frogs. they would've beem dropping froglights like chickens drop eggs. but because fireflies might upset their tummies, we have to take the frogs to hell
