In this Minecraft Vanilla series I aim towards automating anything in Vanilla Minecraft. We are going to be living on the mushroom island we spawn in which is going to give us the advantage of no mob spawns without a mob spawner.

Glad you liked the banner:) Great episode as always iskall

[@bryanburke3173]

Ice doesn't increase mob speeds when using water streams (see Xisuma myth busting). If you knock off the three notches and place a signs instead then you can use one light. I wouldn't mind the loss of those spawn blocks because it would be a cleaner build and increase the width of the middle walk way by two spaces.

[@PhuyuTaki]

+Bryan Burke Yeah, also he talked about it in his latest Hermitcraft episode

[@Albertjonas]

Soo true! I have also tested it myself :D

[@iskall85]

+Bryan Burke This is probably the best way to go, ep 22 was already recorded before I saw this comment, but once im back at the prison I will surely use this method. Thanks!

[@tryhardshuckle7056]

+iskall85 Why do you need light? I believe that mobs don't spawn on water

[@LordMelusar]

Pretty sure he doesn't even need the second light since he's using Redstone Lamps which provide more light than torches.

awesome video Iskall. as always. i am so addicted to this series...actually all of your series lol. please please dont apologise for long episodes! i think most if not all of us Iskallians would gladly sit and watch and hour long episode. i know i would. heck i would watch a five hour episode if you made one lol. anywhosit cant wait untill thw next episode!!

[@iskall85]

+Bethany Bland Haha :D Thank you so much Bethany! Means a lot to hear that :)

[@ncognito1975]

The redstone skills are real.

[@PeacEDoG14]

Ancient/Magic Artic prison could be a good theme, even if the island is tropical maybe someone's could come up with awesome lore for the prison so the ice floor makes more sense. But this is going to be super efficient! Awesome build :D

[@iskall85]

+PeacEDoG14 :D Apparently though ive learned through the comments that Ice doesnt speed up mobs, so... yeah :D

[@TheRealPapaBearChris]

Great Video Iskall. by the way I love when you talk about the mechanics of Minecraft and how it all works. I know a lot of it, but there may be a nugget here or there that i either didn't know or that I had forgotten.

[@MSteamCSM]

IT'S RAINING MOBS! HALLELUJAH!

[@nickyelovich3872]

I love this series.

[@iskall85]

+Nick Yelovich Thank you so much :)

[@monicawoolley2298]

Hey iskall! I just wanted to start off by saying how much I love your videos! Thank you for uploading so often, I know I can always rely on you to have a video up whenever I'm feeling bored. I wanted to let you know that you have been saying, "where were I" a lot. I just thought I should let you know that it is' "where was I." Sorry, I think your English is great, but that's just something I have noticed. Also, I have an idea for the roof of the cave! Why not make a big tropical pirate tree and tree shacks in the branches, and then have the roots and vines hang into the cave? I think it would be cool to see. Anyway, thank you so much! Keep crafting. :)

[@iskall85]

+Moni Gardiner :D I shall try and remember to say where was I, doesnt sound as cool though for a foreigner ;P - Thank you for your kind words! I hope to see u around for along time ahead :) - Love the roots and vines idea for the ceiling, if I can pull that one off, ty so much!

[@FlyingDutchBoys]

Make a villager trading system in the shape of a ship that would be pretty cool

[@iskall85]

+NoLife TV Indeed, I have a few ideas for how to implement villagers as well!

[@yeahminecraft1627]

mobs don't speed up on ice, only items do that

[@iskall85]

+yeahminecraft16 Ive learned this now :)

[@ChristianCTaken]

Saying this in the middle of the video so it might not matter, but when you get a lot of lapis, why not make the grinder area blue? :D

[@justsayinghigh]

Would this work on PE if I build a platform in the middle of the ocean?

[@bonclay4474]
