[@LC-ge9pg]

Couple suggestions: Use an activator rail for the skeles so the cactus doesn't break the skulls (and you get to keep all the minecarts). You could have one button that launches both at once to save you clicking. Wear blast protection. If you do activator rails you could return the skeleton minecarts, break them, and use hoppers to refill that one automatically, and you could just take the minecarts from the creeper chest and put them over there. Wear blast protection. Maybe have the execution chamber farther from the other mobs. Wear blast protection.

[@boggless2771]

One more suggestion: WEAR BLAST PROTECTION!

[@jacobberger1931]

“U think of all people i would remember how to make an iron golem. SHEARLY I wouldn’t make that mistake again” i heard that...

[@Dredgno]

Blast damage won’t be stopped by blocks or line of sight. You can have tnt or a creeper encased in an obsidian block the blast damage will still go through. Blast damage is based of on the radius not line of sight. Just move the chamber back further

[@cakeyeater7392]

Nah. Encasing a regular creeper in iron blocks allowed me to stand point blank and take only a single point of damage. It works, but depends on how you do it

[@geeell1917]

That was going to be my suggestion. Move the "meeting" chamber farther away from the holding cells so the blast radius does not harm the captive mobs. I think a charged creepers' blast radius is larger than a normal one. At least that's how the landscape damage appears to be. I wonder if the Golem is taking damage too?

[@VapordragonMC]

Gee Ell if the iron golem dies just make another one , not like iron is scarce

[@fahlur9880]

charged creepers blast radius is much larger than a creepers, its double of a normal creeper

[@mehrozmustafa9513]

Few things. 1-move the exploding area a little back. 2-use dispenser to fire up creepers. (Put a Flint and steel in a dispenser)

[@tssteelx]

I would just move the killing chamber further back out of range of the creepers. And correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a dispenser use a flint and steel. I think id also come up with a mine cart holding area so i could have more then 24 skeletons at once. Maybe move everything up by one level(or down) to create the holding area? And use a obsidian floor? With like a iron trap door that lets one through when you press a button. Then you could stand back out of blast range and press button a, puts creeper into chamber then press button b, puts skeleton in chamber and if it works press button c to ignite. But thats just what I'd do. Keep up the good work.

[@chosena91]

just disable entity cramming with a ladder or a vine

[@nowanalt7804]

I’m 90% sure that a dispenser with a flint and a steel would try to ignite the block underneath the creeper instead of the creeper so it wouldn’t ignite the creeper but I’m not certain on that.

[@pjsamm6980]

A dispenser does use flint and steel, but it won't light a creeper unfortunately.

[@neo4618]

The holding chamber is a pretty good idea

[@tssteelx]

Sticked oh ok. I don't play on java. Good to know.

[@DirtDude117]

@TangoTek You can used Carved Pumpkins that stack to 64 instead of iron helmets since they would be less annoying to restock. Also if you fill your inventory with iron ingots you won't pick up the carved pumpkins.

[@gavinparsons1397]

No regen cuz it'd kill the undead mobs (ie the wither skellies) in the area.

[@pcdeadman1832]

hah that's a great skull farm I love it. For the blast damage though you can't stop it with blocks, even if it was all obsidian it would still damage the other creepers and skeletons because they're too close, the exploding one needs to be moved further away from them so that they are outside the blast radius.

Tango, you can keep the creepers in water if you shoot your trident at another mob such as a chicken or witch. That way, you won't have to rush getting them into water.

[@LSGolly]

Hi Tango, You bring your Creeper and Wither Skeleton with mine carts, Just move your killing area away from the storage area and extend the tracks, Also if Dispensers work with Flint and Steel you could set up a Red Stone link to the dispenser with a button near to the buttons for the mine cart dispensers keeping you away from the blast area as well. You can then just stand in one spot and watch the fun.

[@kathybraddock8200]

Your enthusiasm for making stuff work is great to watch. Suggest you use a flint and steel in a dispenser (if that works in your version) to light the creeper from a distance.

[@Ima_Tron]

On the subject of preventing Withers from de-dpawning, Ive got several villager powered crop farms localized around a Farmer villager who buys crops for emeralds. Hoppers load up chests nearby I can quickly raid to sell to the farmer for tons of emeralds. You do have to sell him a little of each to get him to reset his acceptance of some items, but if you have Carrots, Potatoes, Wheat, Pumpkins and watermelon, you can sell to him virtually non-stop. Then you can pretty much afford name tags or any other villager items on demand. Makes a great EXP farm too actually, not to mention condensing them into blocks for beacon pyramids.

[@effyourtube]

You can move the boom boom death water spot further away from everything else. There's also space for a beacon to keep you from blowing your own face off so easily and maybe some vines to stop the mobs from choking one another.

[@kashmirr25]

glad to see you having fun with this, so much fun making things go boom! glad to see what you did with this design.

[@lSaltLickl]

You move the dispensers in the wither skeleton farm to be in the floor facing towards the trap doors. Then when they fall through the first set of trap doors and land on the second set they will pick up the helmets in the hole.

[@Intrafacial86]

I would use name tags on charged creepers. This way, whenever a thunderstorm happens, anyone can go and spend some time stockpiling charged creepers in a containment area for later use. And yeah, as someone else said, use carved pumpkins for the wither skeletons, as they can stack in those dispensers.

[@gucciscucci2507]

FX entities do respawn after a while that's why name tags and helmets get used

[@valdirbruxeljunior]

On the nether tunnel, place a dispenser full of hats that is triggered by a pressure plate. This way you automate the process of adding hats.

[@ebiplays]

Too cool! If an obsidian barrier doesn't work, you may need to move your exploding chamber further away from the holding cells so they're outside the blast radius of the charged creeper.

[@patukka3336]

Just commenting to make the algorithm recommend even more of your own videos

[@KittenKatja]

About the damage from the explosion in the water: You expose yourself to the explosion resulting in 5hp damage each explosion. You probably think, you are protected by an iron trapdoor, but you not, it's like exposing yourself to radiation. The creepers and skeletons seem to take damage, but they don't receive more than knockback, because they are protected by walls of blocks. An easy solution for you would to stand in that corner to the left or to put a lever next to the iron trapdoor, that only holds the water back, to close as you ignite the creeper. Hey, I'm the girl to suggest you to put hopper minecarts inside blocks instead below them in your ethical poppy farm.

[@trevorlachman3271]

The wither skeleton heads may hit the cactus when they are exploded by the charged creeper

[@joseanpizarro07]

I see a Beacon shop! Diamonds!

[@willaverynerdyclarinetist6131]

I had an idea for your improved villagers mod: Musician villagers! Basically in order for villagers to get this job, there needs to be a "cantina" which is basically a building in the village where alot of the villagers go at night to relax, socialize, get "villager beer" (gosh I need a better name 4 that) which is sold to the player by another new villager, the Barkeeper.

[@willaverynerdyclarinetist6131]

The cantina needs a stage, easiest to make with oak slabs, in a decently large semi-circle, with jukeboxes and note blocks on it.

[@willaverynerdyclarinetist6131]

Thats for the musicians, of which there are a decent amount of different types. When a villager takes this job, they will be given one of these individual types, chosen via a random number generator. In addition, there can only be one of each musician at a time.

[@willaverynerdyclarinetist6131]

Each musician will be able to sell the player whatever instrument they play for approximatly 30 emeralds, because these instruments are like their own kind of weapon, as they shoot music notes that upon impact with a hostile mob, grant the player a random buff for 15 seconds.

[@willaverynerdyclarinetist6131]

There are 20 different kinds of musicians: 1: The clarinet 2: the alto saxophone 3: the flute 4: the snare drum 5: the bass drum 6: the piano 7: the trumpet 8: the french horn 9: the trombone 10: piccalo 11: the Marimba 12: The drum kit 13: the Bell kit 14: the tenor saxophone 15: baritone saxophone 16: bassoon 17: oboe 18: Tuba 19: bass clarinet 20: the DJ

Improvements: Make the wither skeletons go through an auto helmet dispenser. Move the blast chamber back a little further. A bigger holding chamber for charged creepers could be a good idea, so u can save up a bunch and do big packs in a go, especially with thunderstorms being so rare. Make 1 button for sending 1 charged creeper and 1 wither skelly with same button (2 buttons 3 blocks apart seems a bit silly ;-) (careful suggestion) Use dispenser to light them?? (not sure if it needs to be the player that lights them, needs investigation!!!)

[@mrdarn]

2 thoughts: 1, Adding helmets to the skeletons: How about having the dispenser in the floor facing up, with a wooden pressure plate on it so it dispenses up as a skeleton walks over it? 2, Setting off the creepers: Can't you use a dispenser with the flint and steel in it? If not, would an arrow fired through lava set them off? Obviously the solution to your stock getting damaged is to build the killing chamber further back from the holding pens.

[@Wortigon2000]

I'd recommend vines or a ladder in the skelly holding area, to get rid of the entity cramming based skelly deaths, provided the hole is deep enough for them not to be able to get out. As for the blast damage, I have 2 ideas. 1: to protect the creepers and skellies from it: move the blast chamber a few blocks back, so they'll be out of the balst radius 2: not sure if it'll work, but maybe it has something to do with wether the blocks in question are transparent blocks or not, if you change them to something like iron, it might work, and that'd mean less remodelling. (Also, a regen/resistance beacon could help you take less damage. Or using some form of chestplate for the blastification. Preferable a diamond armor set with full blast protection.) As for lighting up creepers, I'm not sure wether it'd work or not, but maybe dispensers with flint and steel in them, so you don't have to stand close? Just an idea though.

[@SnappyFellow]

Tango, you are so much fun to watch work and create. This is a super cool design, and I'm really impressed at how well it works, flaws notwithstanding. I want to minecraft like Tango.

[@OrangeSVTguy]

maybe set up a single button that will trigger both creeper and skeleton to be dispensed? Will a flint and steel inside a dispenser trigger the charged creeper? Add a delay circuit from the button to trigger the explosion after both mobs are in place. Set the button up far enough away not to take damage. You can also create multiple holding cells for the creepers so you don't get entity cramming, then wait for the thunderstorm to come then you can charge up multiple batches of creepers.

[@zebragrrl]

You could push the killing chamber back further, and maybe wire in a dispenser with flint and steel inside, to remotely ignite the creeper. Also on a similar vein, if you have dispensers full of the hats facing the skeletons, it will force them to wear them.. rather than waiting for them to pick them up.

[@jaeer.campose]

tango what you can do to not have any of your non-charged creepers and other wither skellies is make the killing platform a bit farther. you can know exactly where to make it by looking up the radius of the charge creeper explode effect.

[@YuBGamerzBen]

Those Charged Creepers certainly don't mess around! That blast radius is MASSIVE, who needs TNT. Just have a Charged Creeper follow you around!

[@skyknight6467]

Easy improvements to drastically improve production. Push back the killing chamber. Add a bigger holding area for both types of mobs. Multiple chambers would be best. This will stop them from being killed by Boom damage and will allow you to hold more without entity cramming killing off your mobs. You could go around and charge up a few stacks of creepers per storm since it takes so long to get a single storm, then go run through a ton of helmeted skeleton from the multiple chambers they are kept in. A little more work up front but less thunderstorms you would have to wait for. Hope this helps Tango!

[@TangoTekLP]

[@skyknight6467]

oh also think about moving the helmet dispensers down below to make it easier to get them to equip them.

[@ericmueser6950]

I don't know this for sure, but I believe all wither skeletons will pick up a better sword, whereas only some will pick up armor. You could use iron swords (or work with Impulse for the extra gold swords) and keep them from despawning that way. Love the vids keep it up

[@TCC180]

I'm reasonably sure that you can use channeling during a regular rain storm, not specifically a thunder storm. I think the idea to use helmets was pretty great though, since you can re-use them and stuff.

[@TimMillican]

The helmeted skellies are the worlds most beautiful conga line!

[@XepptizZ]

I think the water stops blocks from being destroyed, but the block's blastresistance is still calculated as normal. So glass has like what? 10? So the rays go through like normal. Also, I'd suggest saving the nametas for the creepers. Their conditions to get are more difficult than the witherskellies.

[@PeacefulMaelstrom]

Either move the killing chamber further away from the holding cell, or use splash potions of healing(creepers)/harming(wither skeletons) to keep their health up. Blast damage is radial, if you are within x(depending on explosion) distance of the start point of the blast you will be hurt

totally ethical farming! step 1: impale creepers through feet with trident step 2: watch as the trident brings A FREAKING LIGHTNING BOLT down on the creepers step 3: force the creepers to spontaneously combust step 4: hoard the decapitated heads of the creepers' victims step 5: place your decapitated heads on a monument to create a new creature, who suffocates and dies the minute it is brought into this world step 6: use this creature's prized star to create a beam of light. Yup. that's all you get from the ethical farming. a beam of light.

[@scjdg]

Totally Awesome. Perhaps the "waves" are going through the transparent blocks, and a few well placed Iron blocks will solve the issue.

Although, it looks like he got about 2 stacks, I have a feeling you have much more than that. But it may be enough to take you out. I really hope you win; you did such a great job with the 'How to Kill a Tango', you deserved a win.

[@Helveteshit]

Just make the construction longer and you will solve the issue with potentially less hassle. With the explosions, that is. Also, you need a beacon on top to regen a bit better.

[@wknight8111]

Move the explodification center further back, and use a dispenser with fire charges to ignite the creeper from a distance

[@redlisted3470]

[@cakeyeater7392]

If you replace the window with iron, use a sticky piston to hold an iron block in place of the trapdoor, and place a block where the piston extends, you should greatly reduce damage. A stone button opens the piston door long enough to ignite the creeper, and close before it explodes. I am trying to do something similar and will be testing this in my world. The easiest solution is just moving the chamber tho

[@evanlewis6608]

Replace the iron blocks with obsidian around the stored creepers, and wither Skeletons. And how about possibly having a dispenser with Flint and steal in it getting triggered by a tripwire which is tripped by the creeper in the mine cart? But you'd have to dispense the wither skeleton to the hugging chamber before the creepers?

[@drake11011]

Tango prevent you from getting damaged by the creepers you could set up a resistance and regen beacon Considering that wither skulls are just a matter of waiting for a thunderstorm it should be pretty easy to get

[@pfluorescentzebra7117]

Move the kill chamber farther away, like 15 blocks. We had the same issue in S2 on Titancraft, even through the obsidian box we had. Charged creepers have an AoE that's just 2x as powerful as regular creepers. Any entity in the area will take some damage. We lost a map wall that way.

[@Pencilneckgeek216]

You could probably just move the killing chamber further away from the mobs if you want to keep the glass. Awesome project :)

[@ketchupman246]

I really appreciate you making your own design for a farm, anyone can watch someone else's tutorial

[@ChimpManZ1264]

If you and Impulse farm together one can get the skellys while the other blows them up and you can take it in turns. It would definitely be really efficient with two or more people working the it!

[@peteman1000]

I'd recommend just push the blast chamber back several blocks out of range of the golem (then it'd be out of range of the others for sure). You're not gonna want to change the position the mobs come in at for sure. Maybe you could also rig up some kind of minecart for you to sit in that sends you away from the blast and back to the buttons quickly?

[@Doc_Fartens]

Just push the 'splosion chamber a bunch more blocks further back. Will have the added bonus of reducing the damage you take per kaboom as well.

[@ambersharp9505]

"Shear-ly I wouldn't make that mistake again" LOL

[@MideanTsukasa]

Use splash potions of healing for Creepers, and potions of harming for Skeletons. This will keep their health up. Undead mostly have reversed affects from potion use.

[@Jo-rz6bs]

You need a chunk loading grid for the skeletons to be processed. And a second player for pathing to take effect. Your best bet is coming through a different way, or making redstone that shuts down the portal, pushes the skeletons out, and evaluates their height, if its above 2, open a trapdoor. You won't need to relight the portal so long as they come at least every 20 seconds.

[@Jo-rz6bs]

Sorry this needs clarification. If an autosave occurs as one goes through the portal, the chunks will unload and this will occur. If this is the last skeleton, then you get shanked.

[@NickCollide]

Remove your buttons to the dispensers and lay down a Redstone redstone line and hook that up to one button... One press sends both the wither and creeper to your blast chamber..

[@HalfInt]

Damage to entities and broken blocks is calculated first. Only after that, block damage is ignored because the creeper is in water. Putting obsidian around it's feet would probably be a good idea.

[@lukeburris1011]

Elegant solution is to move the exploding chamber farther out so you can keep the glass. Also, can you use a dispenser to remotely light the creepers up? Would save food, time, and effort if so.

[@simonkaster8098]

The best thing I as a rando can recomend is to move the wither explodification chamber back a few blocks. It would be much easier than any shenanigans with the obsidian and what not.

[@nanorex_gaming]

Blast damage is not completely stopped by line of sight; it's reduced to half a heart (or one heart, can't remember) even if it's obsidian I think. You're gonna have to move the chamber further back to completely stop the damage :/ With that said though, this is a super awesome farm!

Tango, I've noticed that some mobs will pick up weapons, but not armor, but I've never found one that's the opposite. So iron swords might catch more skellies than helmets can. Also, I think that cactus is gonna destroy a lot of skulls.

23:40 Tango tries to create a stripped creeper. His efforts are unsuccessful.

What an awesome episode Tango! All you have to do is move the blast chamber about 6 blocks further away and everything will be out of the blast radius. I'm still trying to figure out why you didn't drop the charged creeper in the top chamber down before non charged creepers entered the chamber and you lost the chance.
