[@wattlesplays]

if youre having trouble with spiders spawning in your farm try either replacing the carpets for slabs or creating a checkered pattern with buttons on the floors instead! there seems to be a parity difference with spider spawning on minecraft bedrock sorry about that 🫡

[@davidyounger2965]

Carpet apparently is bugged on Bedrock. Spiders will still spawn on it. Buttons (I’ve tested and it so far works) or slabs (I haven’t tested but hypothetically should work) in a checkered pattern.

[@topsidergaming2679]

I use buttons in Bedrock in place of carpet. Works great!

Make a little 1x1 box at the side of the killing chamber and push a skeleton in. This turns your farm into a record farm when you're standing opposite of the skeleton - make sure you're not wearing thorns armor, and keep that shield up.

Man the farm works and now you got your self a new subscriber. Much love brother thank you for making it easy to understand and keeping it simple. Keep up the good content!

[@dirtsgamecafe3937]

I built this on bedrock, here's some things to note if you're considering it. It DOES work, but it needs some modifications. As the video creator said in his pinned comment, you have to put buttons on each floor in a checkerboard pattern instead of carpet. Even then, bedrock will occasionally spawn spiders in the gaps. As far as I'm aware, there is no way on bedrock to get a 100% creeper only grinder. In my experience, after applying the button fix, it's 95% creepers with just a few spider stragglers here and there. Second, you may want to build each corner of the snowman cages up one extra fence, so two tall on the corners with the centers being one tall. This will prevent the straggler spiders from killing your snowmen. Trust me, having to go back in to work on this or replace snowmen after it's built isn't fun, so just do that on your initial build. Also, the spawn rate is WAY slower on bedrock due to the mobcap. You may go several minutes without any creepers dropping down, don't panic if it doesn't start raining creepers immediately. When they do drop, if you follow the 19 bock "chute" this guy made, over half of them will die of fall damage and not allow you to use looting. I made mine 15, and now it's only 1 in 5 that die of fall damage, while the ones that live are one hit kills with a sword. Finally, I suggest building the floor of your platform one block beneath the chest, with slabs on the hoppers. That way, you're close enough to hit them, but they won't blow up 99% of the time. If one does start to detonate, back up and you have plenty of time to prevent it. Also, if they're too far away to hit, crouch so they can see you.

tip: just turn off the mob griefing in gamerule and turn it on after your afk farming

[@indigowulf]

TIP: 14:30 "just about safe unless you stand too close" I have an answer for that. The glass blocks out the very bottom, where you fight from- put trap doors on the bottom of those. Leaves a very small space to swing through, and absolutely NO mobs can see through that. Zero accidental creeper explosions. Yay the things you learn wasting time in skyblock perfecting farms :D

[@TheSuperghdude]

Good tip this actually works, 3 trapdoors make it explosion proof

[@ClassicChad]

Trapdoors are a nicer option than slabs on the killing area hoppers. Alternatively place trapdoors on the bottom of the glass. Either 1 (or both) will stop the creepers from getting triggered when killing them.

[@jo2k459]

Yeah, trapdoors at the bottom of the glass (above the chest). I had to do this and replaced the glass with stone because they were almost being triggered on their way down. Now it doesn't happen anymore with the stone and trapdoors. They don't see me approaching at all unless they're all the way in the back. In that case, I let them see me and quickly move back as they start approaching. No more explosions since doing it this way.

I built this design and it seems like it should work better, my spawn rates are really slow like 1-2 creepers every minute or so. Is it possible that because I'm on a server rates would be slower?

BEDROCK USERS ======================= This farm will work, just some modifications need to be made. Some comments have discussed some of the necessary changes but here’s the rundown for the whole farm all together. I play on a bedrock realm and built 5 layers and I get 3 stacks per hour (which is good enough so that if you afk it overnight, you’ll have more than enough) The modifications i made were: Checkerboard pattern of rails on each layer (should come out to 56 rails per layer) Add an additional fence on top of every corner around the snowgolem Replace the block underneath snowgolem with a non spawnable block (i used glass) Replace the 4 floating blocks around the snow golem with magma This one isn’t necessarily but it increases rates- replaced the roof with tinted glass to trick the game into using the top layer for “surface spawns” Added a trident killer to the bottom (the farm uses a 3x3 hole which a 3x3 trident killer is buildable but what I did was funnel the creepers into a 2x2 by adding flowing water that they fall on that pushes them into a 2x2 pit which I have a 2x2 trident killer that also has water flowing into it using a waterlogged stair) (this is did to stop any creepers from dying from fall damage and so that an impaling trident can be used for faster killing=faster rates) These modifications do not stop all spiders from spawning but does limit them a decent amount, anyways, string is good for wool, which is good for beds, which is good for netherite mining. The last modification i made was adding a 3x3 flush horizontal piston door so that when the farm is off, I can safely grab the trident. This step is only necessary for multiplayer worlds since the trident has to be rethrown by the player using the farm for looting III. If you have any questions, hit me up. And if yall really need it, I can make a video showing the modifications.

I see a lot of comments about this being meh on bedrock, but heres my experience after making this on Java. I made this with just 2 layers (i was low on blocks that i wanted to use) and it only took about 20 min of total build time to make (plus about an hour of gathering blocks cause i kept running out lol) I built it above my base in a plains/forest biome, with the bottom platform being at y230, which also had a sizable cave below it (however that cave is mostly lit up due to being explored) The spawn rates were great for only having 2 layers, getting about 2 stacks of gun powder for every 15 minutes of afking (using a looting 3 sword) I 100% recommend this if youre looking for a clean and simple gunpowder farm! Edit: 9 months later and ive built this on 3 separate worlds now because of how incredible and efficient it is! My most recent world i built it before even going to the end so that i had a good supply of rockets before hand, im looking forward to being an unstoppable flying machine in the end :)

Build more layers. Build a Trident killer at the bottom and equip a Looting III sword while sitting at the killing chamber. Bedrock spawn rates are considerably lower than Java. Doing the above will increase your production, but it won't beat Java production rates. It's the nature of being on Bedrock, unfortunately.

you have earned a new subscriber this farm was amazing i built 10 layer took 2 days but the second i did that there were creepers every where love this guide

Hi wattles, thanks for the great video again! Can i ask what is the best chunk loader for 1.20.1? Nothing is working will on my world when it comes to chunk loaders, they are to complicated for me to understand 😅

[@JediKt]

IIRC, a number of the chunks around world spawn stay loaded at all times, if one of them is a suitable biome.

[@nativerain8024]

Are you on Bedrock? Because Unfortunately chunk loaders only work on Java Edition.

[@Natecreek]

You know what, I appreciate you man. Your grind is inspiring

[@eugenebotha9787]

Good day wattles, I would like to know where the best position would bet to AFK at this creeper farm?

[@lailatayag8094]

Eyo new video, such a great tutorial. Excited for the next episode of the new series! Keep up the great work wattles♥️

[@wattlesplays]

THANK YA!! that'll drop tomorrow!!

[@salvsays]

Something that I’ve noticed a lot of farming tutorial videos to is they create the farm in a vacuum they don’t take into consideration, wanting to EFK spot or wanting to have like farms together farms that make TNT being in one location farms for villager crafting being in one location Etc. and I think it would be interesting and you could do well a guide of how to create localized farm areas where there won’t be so much interference between one farm and another Edit im sorry for all the errors, thank siri, but no im not going to fix them.

[@proxki]

works wonders and was super cheap thanks! :D i built 9 layers and made 11 stacks within 20 minutes (using a looting III sword ofc)

[@DesertPorpoise]

Add trap doors on the last level of the outer walls for extra "no explosions for me" safety.

[@keeganfleming7656]

I followed along with the tutorial and built exactly what he built just with cobblestone and all I was getting was the occasional creeper and a bunch of spiders. My snow golems also kept dying. P.S, I play on bedrock.

[@YessirImIcy]

yea same, after reading these comments i decided to demo the whole thing with tnt, very counter productive but very satisfying😂

Thank you! Only been playing a couple weeks and could not for the life of me figure out why this farm wasn't working. Time to go farm Geodes and silk touch a lot of stained glass 🥲

[@Troy-Echo]

Tiny tweak. Put the chest on the side so you don't have to step around it to hack at the creepers. or put chests all the way across the front so you're not constantly trying to maneuver around an obstacle. I plan on starting this build tonight. Who knows, I may even go farm some sand and use tinted glass. Or smooth stone. I have a crap ton of that too. Too much. everything I have is built out of smooth stone LOL.

IDK if this is how its supposed to be but it feels slow. I'm over the ocean 4 layers built and it just feels like they drop slowly, I am still getting "enough" but it dosent feel like its running at full capacity. Any things I should check? Also efficient ways to afk this farm without being kicked for inactivity would be much appreciated.

[@topsidergaming2679]

If you're playing on Bedrock, that's how it goes. Bedrock spawn rates are much lower than Java. If you're on Bedrock, consider building a Trident killer at the bottom and equip a Looting III sword while sitting at the collection chest. This will boost gunpowder collection on Bedrock (though still not as much as Java).

[@navymalfunction9710]

Does this works in my Little 1.21.3 server with my friends?

[@vertexl6667]

Yes but you have to keep in mind that the mob cap will be split between players online so it might be slower if a few friends are doing random things around the world

[@hydroxv212]

I used trap doors instead of carpet, put fences around the hoppers and slabs on top of the hoppers. Works great! I've never made a creeper only farm before because they always use cats and I didn't wanna deal with that, so thank you for making a guide with easily obtainable resources

I built a 6 layer farm, but my top two snow golems keep despawning. Any ideas? They are covered by tinted glass and then solid blocks on top of that. Edit: There was ONE (1) trap door that I forgot to place. They were getting shot by skeletons. Use me as a reminder to double check that all trapdoors are placed lol.
