1.14.4+ Witch Farm (4300 items/h)

For yall out there who want to build this. It still work as of Minecraft 1.16 Release candidate i will update this every once in a while. It is working as of 1.16.1 Work in 1.16.2 as well Nothing changed in 1.16.3 on major issues so no.

[@ardentsang5968]

1024 it’s not like “weird” the biggest change is probably one tick pulse. Like u can’t throw a block out with a sticky piston and also observer have some changes on one tick pulse. The weirdest thing is that mob doesn’t despawn in bedrock. So it’s REALLY ANNOYING to do anything mob related. Personally I can’t get specific mobs to spawn as well. Like witches and guardians after I kill them. (I didn’t play in bedrock1.16 so there might be some changes)

For those building this in 1.21 because of the witch drop redstone buffs, this still works. Here's some extra information about the farm rates and testing setup: The bottom of the witch hut bounding box is at y=62, the AFK BLOCK coordinate is at y=182(feet at y=183 when afking). Around 30 blocks radius around the farm is spawnproofed on the surface. The rates were measured with Carpet mod over 110 minutes ish, so these are not exact rates, but should be within 1-5% error margin. This farm produces 9000±50 drops/h in 1.21. Of that: 6.7k/h redstone dust 670/h stick 330/h gunpowder 330/h glowstone dust 330/h spider eye 330/h sugar 300/h glass bottle Edit: grammar.

[@MrBlockbyBlock1]

Some quick tips: - The Bounding Box of the Witch hut is 7x9 and is exclusively for Witches to spawn. If there are other mobs spawning as well, you probably build the spawn platforms incorrectly. Make sure that all 3 layers are within the bounding box. - The perfect witch hut Ilmango talks about has the front porch block at y-level 64. You can check this by looking at the front porch block(s) with the f3 menu active. Check the y-value under 'looking at block/liquid' - You can place 4 glass blocks on the hopper clock in order to prevent mobs from spawning on these blocks. This includes the 2 positions for the redstone block and the 2 pistons. - If the witches get stuck on a layer or your rates are poor, make sure that you have the hopper clock turned on. - ONLY the first 'slice' of the contraption has double observers, the rest consists of building blocks. Hope this helps. Thanks Ilmango for the design!

[@aitortita6081]

I am using the minihud mod and litematica to display the witch hut bounding box and for me right now, at 20w22a, every single mob spawns on any layer, i built the farm exactly as it indicates and spawning places are only for witches, but still, every mob spawns at every layer

[@aitortita6081]

Still works in 1.19.

This could also be the case for mud because I didn't do a long period of testing, but it seemed to be a pretty immediate improvement.

It's rare but I noticed after building this farm the hostile mobs can spawn on the redstone block used for the hopper clock. Fixed it by placing 2 half slabs over the hopper clock.

[@kaja-xb6kg]

If anyone is wondering if this works on 1.16, yes it does and the rates are the same , i am on 1.16.3 and it should work on 1.16.4 too Edit : highly recommend a bounding box mod and a despawn sphere mod Edit 2: i have my witch farm built in a perimeter, your rates may be different if you dont have one Edit 3 : DON'T FORGET TO TURN ON THE REDSTONE CLOCK ,IF YOU FORGET THE RESULTS ARE VERY DIFFRENT

@@NateBuilder I am guessing you have 2 witch huts in a perimeter? I have 2 in my perimeter aswell. Just build the farm as shown and the farms together should produce 8000+ items per hour.when put in a perimeter the design does not change but the rates are better

[@aitortita6081]

If anyone has played on 20w21a and your witch hut bounding box isn't working it may be because of a bug affecting the entire world structure generation, as it is a bug considered very important by mojang : bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-184740 -Structures generated prior to 20w21a (e.g. 1.15.2, 20w20b, etc.) are not considered valid structures within this version. As such, mob spawns specific to certain structures (e.g. Guardians for Water Temples, Wither Skeletons for Nether Fortresses, etc.) no longer occur if the structure was generated from a previous version. This is likely caused by the changing of structure names to full lowercase.

[@oliverefthemes1457]

yea also happened to come out as I finished my guardian farm so I had to reset the chunks and rebuild

[@zackcurrier7311]

Can you do more scicraft episodes?

[@Mattja1]

Feeling pretty proud atm. I saw the mob glitching through the floor on this and decided to try and build my own design rather than just copy. On my one I have the tripwire deactivate a redstone torch at one end, which allows a piston to retract. The piston arm is normally extended over an upwards-facing observer which sees the retraction, a row of 4 horizontal observers see this observer update and these trigger the piston to move the floor. The last of this observer row had a downwards-facing observer above it, and then 2 horizontal observers watch that and these trigger the first piston (normally held open by the redstone torch) therefore repeatedly pushing the floor about every 0.8 seconds until the witch falls through. At the other end the tripwire doesn't activate anything. I just have a downwards-facing observer 2 blocks infront and one block up from the piston (so it watches the last 2 floor blocks going back and forth) and a horizontal observer looking at that and putting a signal into air above the piston to activate it (don't put a block here or it will try to activate adjacent pistons too). This sees the floor being pushed towards it and pushes it straight back. Of course it also sees the push back and therefore triggers twice, but the 0.8 second interval is plenty. There are just 2 minor issues. First is if (I think) a witch spawns and immediately moves to the side the primary side may be triggered again as the return side triggers, and if this prevents the return side pushing back then it puts that line out of action. Second is, just the same as you found, witches standing between 2 blocks and as the 2 lines generally won't trigger at the same time they don't go through. The first is solved by a hopper clock activating all pistons on the return side every few minutes (problem is fairly infrequent and witches will move onto another line before long and fall through there so flushing every few min or even less is fine). Second issue is nothing more than a delay. As this is a system that continually fires until the witch is gone you just need to wait for the witch to move sideways again, at which time it will likely fall through. Instances of the witch despawning before falling through seem rare enough not to worry about. THE BIG ADVANTAGE: by using some more observers and redstone lamps you can get a nice random lighting display by having a lamp light up whenever a piston is being (or about to be) fired, looks very cool :D

[@Mattja1]

Just found an even better return side design. By making the 2nd to last floor block an upwards facing observer, and otherwise doing exactly the same as before, it forms a 2-observer clock that fires rapidly, triggering the piston every time, until the return side piston pushes them apart again. Therefore even if the primary side double-fires the return side cannot get stuck, and the primary side is already clock-based (just a slower clock that activates only when witches trigger the tripwire) so that can't get stuck either. Now the only downside is when witches spawn and move immediately sideways between blocks, but like I said it's pretty rare for them to keep doing that until they despawn rather than dropping through when they move again.

[@coachjay406]

Hey ilmango! Thanks for your vids, I recreate nearly every machine you make, on a Server and it's one of my favorite things to do. Question: What type of collection system do you recommend for underneath the spawner? Is it better to run a hopper line outside the sphere area and set up a sorter and storage there? Also, the AFK spot with scaffolding is the ideal location, but what if we used glass blocks at that height and added the nether portal? How would this affect spawn rates? Thanks for all that you do for this community! Even if you never see this particular post, I know a lot of people feel the same way!

[@shmug8363]

James Risser since you’re playing on a server, a hopper line would likely not be ideal as they do cause fairly substantial lag. A better and more server friendly option is to create a system in which drops that enter the hoppers are funnelled into a dropper and instantly spat out by making use of a simple comparator input from the dropper that runs into a clock, which then spits out all of the drops into a water stream which runs into a storage system. The video I would recommend for this is Watts’ video (I believe that is his channel name) in which he goes into detail about a stackable simple item storage solution that works in the current version. I’ll get the link to it in a reply.

[@coachjay406]

@@shmug8363 Thanks for the reply! I am familiar with that design, we use it in other places as well! Good Stuff! I suppose I could just run the water part all the way outside of the spawn "sphere", then run an item elevator up to my nether portal in the sky.

[@shmug8363]

James Risser that would probably work, however I do believe the chunks that the items travel in have to be loaded, so try to make sure that happens however you can.

[@coachjay406]

@@shmug8363 I see....well guess i need to Google a bit to figure that part out. So far the spawns have been mediocre at best and devoting a ton of resources to storage hasn't been done yet. I am not really sure about keeping the Chunks loaded though.

To all those wondering, You download the Fabric mod loader here: fabricmc.net/ under the "installation" section, then you download the MiniHUD and MaLiLib mods (found in the MiniHUD link he provided) for the version of Fabric you installed. You need the MaLiLib mod to support the MiniHUD mod. This does not work with Forge.

If it doesn't work, or just very inefficiently, look up if you turned on the clock. Sometimes it is that simple

[@youluvana]

why not put the pistons on the short sides of the spawning platforms?

[@baauumm8223]

For looting, put a water stream into a water bubble colum to bring them up to the player, additionally put magma blocks under the flushing water to prevent despawning. When they take damage they wont despawn that fast.
