I always notice a ridiculous amount of the endermen holding blocks in the warped forest, thats something that came with the nether update, they're unable to place these blocks down again causing a really large buildup of them not counting towards the mob cap but still causing lag, Bug: MC-191725 is a problem that is currently unresolved in case you're interested.

Yes. Not only that, but a lot of them end up teleporting to the top of the nether bedrock, which I dislike.

I absolutely love the fact you just went ahead and built it , no testing, sometimes it's just so much fun to solve issues in game , rather than just build a straight up farm , always good to have abit of drama , love your vids dude !

[@The14Some1]

He designed this farm before, so that's why he was so confident about what he's doing.

[@elodkovacs1405]

The wardens didnt get lost, thes just didnt spawn. You can turn on subtitles because the "warden emerges" sound always plays even if they immediately teleport, it helps to check if they actually spawned or not and you cen see the other subtitles (warden approaches, warden advances, warden draws close) to know how many more shrieks you need

[@janb.3600]

You also get "Warden notices angrily" in case the shrieker attepts and fails to spawn a Warden.

[@iusedtobegods]

I love hearing mango’s like trepidation approaching the wardens. Very cool that vanilla mc can still bring a little excitement to the most accomplished players

[@swillcs]

yep, thats the point of the warden pretty much

Makes me feel better seeing one of the best technical MC’er struggle with winging it…so often, I just don’t want to plan something out, I just want to do it….and problems ensue…I think it’s awesome you’re willing to post a real-life struggle issue in the game…lol…awesome stuff

[@BarginsGalore]

It’s so weird seeing mango work in a world that dosnt have en expiration date. This server will hopefully be around for years so everything is worth doing well and to last. Unlike other series where it didn’t matter if things were quick and dirty

[@in1]

Probably the issue with no wardens spawning was because the shrieker counter went down and it needed 2/3 times to spawn again

[@janb.3600]

This might clear up your confusion on the Warden sometimes not spawning: Every time a player activates a shireker, that players warning level is increased by one. For every ten minutes of not activating a shrieker your warning level decays by one. The Warden is only spawned once your warning level is at three and you activate a shireker again. Subtitles are super usefull to keep track of this, since each warning level has its own subtitle. The Warden only becomes hostile once it detects a mob or player three times, that means causing vibrations, standing within 6 blocks while the Warden is sniffing or bumping into it. So you were fine to just sneak up to the observer and break if you let the Warden's anger decay first.

[@theguywhoisjustaguy1262]

[@DonnaPinciot]

I love that you're using Distant Horizons for this, now. It's perfect for all these insane-scale projects without killing your performance. Until now, I hadn't seen anyone actually use it in a survival series, let alone on a server, so this should make for a much more visually-impressive experience!

[@nightpool42]

really loved the additional drama to this episode, definitely was fun to watch you struggle a little in survival :) as a hint, I think the wardens can only shoot you if you're a certain distance away from them, so if you're worried about being shot, staying closer to the wardens is safer then trying to fly away

[@janb.3600]

No, Wardens can shoot you at point blank, but the first few seconds after you anger them they cannot shoot.

[@tako-sensei6072]

Idk why, but Ilmango's pain noises are just the best thing.

One thing i noticed when testing in a creative world, Wardens can actually drown in water. But in nether it wont work.

[@janb.3600]

You can drop dripstone on them, takes about 10 seconds to kill.

[@BlackEyedGhost0]

In my testing, wardens seem to select the x and z coordinates randomly, but the y coordinate they spawn at is always the highest spawnable space, so I'm relatively certain there's no need to clear the area underneath.

[@elMatche]

Watching this videos is like watching a crazy scientist inventing crazy stuff

[@randyohm3445]

I really enjoyed watching the survival struggles, not just because it was entertaining (although it definitely was :D ) but also because it was interesting to see some of the ways this can go wrong. I plan to build a warden farm in my own world and some of these issues are good to know about.

[@anzesustarsic1667]

problem: "appears" SciCraft: hmmm lets make a perimeter

[@WRAPUCH]

I would never mess with wardens as they are too dangerous. I think the shulker-based mob switch is much more easier to do (once you have some shulkers in overworld or nether), not to mention the endlessly safer maintenance. I have shulker mob switch for nether in my world and silverfish mob switch for overworld and I'm thinking of replacing it with the shulker mob switch too since shulkers do not despawn accidentally. Anyway quite funny episode :D. Thanks for it.

[@venomousplaysmoddedminecra9440]

I had to stop doing what I was for this the thumbnail looks insane can't wait to see what it is

[@janb.3600]

A quick way of killing a large number of Wardens is to drop dripstone on them, 13 dripstone will do enough damage and it hits all Wardens in a 1x1 area. This method takes roughly 10 seconds to kill any number of full health Wardens once set up with a simple self-flipping trapdoor to place the dripstone on.

I do appreciate you trying to wing it in survival and was fun to watch your challenges thoughout the making of this machine... I wouldn't say give up on doing this its definitely fun to try do stuff in survival first time only. Next time you have a small machine that you think will be straight forward I would say give it a go in survival

Kinda surprised you didn't go for the much easier, safer, and faster silver fish mob switch.

[@JoshuaKoerner]

I think the weakness of ianxofour's video was that he failed entirely to mention how to bring those silverfish to the nether for a nether mob switch, making zillagers, wardens, and shulkers better mob switches for the nether; which I'd argue zillagers are the best mob switch anyway, because you can breed them on-location in all 3 dimensions, not that you can keep much loaded in the end, but still.

[@hoodwatcher8665]

I think maybe the wardens kept despawning bc they were still in their „crawling out of the ground“ animation and possibly a player has to be nearby so he can crawl out completely? bc i build a nether warden mob switch aswell a few days ago but I sent them trough the netherportal using water streams after they already came out completely and it worked perfectly fine.

You can kill wardens with bows without any issue.. You just have to be a certain amount of blocks away and they will never shoot at you.

[@windywendi]

You could have poured lava down to break the button and the twisting vines first, and then drop gravel down to suffocate them

[@LightningAussie]

21:30 i though a solution could be pour lava so they floated to the top, leaving the bottom safe for you to fix them while they were out of the way.. and lava via dispenser so you could turn off when you want them back down..

Since you're on 1.19, you can just use sheers in the future to stop twisting vines from growing instead of a button.

[@crummms]

I was trying to figure out a 3d tnt duper that shoots tnt to the side: could use a 1 chunk wide tunnel bore that makes room for several dupers you then run across sections of the top just underneath the bedrock roof - might be too small scale for most of your projects but it seems like it could help others?
