Minecraft Elegance: Instant Bartering Farm Farm (800k+ dph, Java 1.16+*)

[@galps07]

Your tutorials are consistently incredible. Each farm strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and efficiency, and your voice and the way you speak is super clear and easy to follow. This channel really deserves to blow up, because the entire minecraft community would be the better for it.

[@monkeyzap8241]

just about to say the same thing, like this farms are powerful enough for average people with minimal amount of effort to achieve. like I see massive farms that are insainly fast, but never something that's just genericly good.

[@LeviAckerman-ry4nk]

Should be, shulkercraft just steals designs from other smaller youtubers and then doesn't even credit them sometimes. They even get 10x the views compared to the original uploader. They rebuilt Ian's raid farm when he already uploaded a good tutorial on it, explaining everything wayyyyy better than shulkercraft. They just steal designs and dont deserve most of the views they get.

I'll echo the statement you said at the end, but from the other side. The fact that you have peer review in your own discord is a crucial pillar to the obvious quality of your videos, and I truely believe it should be considered a standard in the technical community.

[@SuperLupin777]

Your farms are insane! I'm always amazed at how smart yet "simple" they are. KZbin is full of incredibly efficient farms, but hard/tedious to build in survival, or, on the other hand, too simple designs which lack efficiency. Your ability to mix these two factors without compromising and with an incredible attention to detail is really uncommon. Keep up the good work! Wish you all the best for your channel.

[@ianxofour]

thank you!

[@Cyberlong]

I think the only compromise in his farms are lag friendliness. Clocks being active 24/7 and the amount of entities in the farms (in some designs the entitites collide). But for a design that can be used every once in a while, it's awesome

[@SuperLupin777]

​@@Cyberlong In this case, shouldn't building this kind of farm far enough from the chunks you usually frequent be enough? As long as they're not in the spawn chunks and there's no chunk loader, the entities shouldn't be loaded, as far as I know

[@Cyberlong]

@@SuperLupin777 yes, that's what i meant by that it can be used every once in a while. but don't get me wrong, i love this design. but i preffer something slower but that i can integrate in my base without much lag from it.

@@Cyberlong you can’t integrate a trader in the overworld anyway, also I don’t think a single observer clock will be taking any mspt

I kid you not, I just said this morning “man I wish Ian would make a barter farm” YOU ARE AWESOME! Thanks for the build.

[@xandy9727]

needed 1 soul speed 3 book and had bad luck doing the bartering RNG with random piglins. figured building this farm would take less time to build vs piglins giving me the book by chance. took me about 30 mins to build and 30 mins to afk for the piglins. and yeah, 14 shulker boxes filled in like 2 mins and I got 7 soul speed 3 books so probably set for the entire world lifespan now. Thanks Ian!

[@kailowren1598]

This is the sequel to Instant Shulker Farm that we all need! I'm amazed how well many of your farms have upgraded or completely obsoleted more well-known designs that I was using on my server: -This barter farm has turned literal hours of AFK time for redstone-automated bartering into minutes. -I originally had built a RaysWorks shulker farm, which is a great design; but your simplification of the Overworld portion increased its lifespan dramatically. -Your (non-stacking) raid farm with the captain catcher executes a compound process that used to take between 5 and 15 minutes, in 45 seconds, only sacrificing the Hero of the Village status effect (who cares with this many emeralds!). -While my prior guardian farm produced excessive quantities of drops for the time and materials invested, yours added XP acquisition with just a few more materials, making it the single most powerful XP farm on the entire map. With Spigot XP orb merging, my players can hit level 30 from almost zero in seconds. -I previously complimented your wither skeleton farm, but to reiterate, it has blown every other design out of the water by eliminating the need to spawn-proof the surrounding structure. Keep up the excellent work!!

[@amazeinrunar]

For people struggling with placing the slab in between the piglins, you can press f3 and see the hitboxes of the piglins who aren't in place yet. You can kill them without angering them by placing down and picking up a lava bucket in quick succession. This should burn and kill them, it gave me 5 pumpkins back. It allowed me to place the slab however, so worth the trade.

Ian I love everything about your videos, especially how you make an 800k+ item per hour machine with few to none resources. Your tutorials are super good because they explain what the farm actually does so for someone who does understand redstone and Minecraft mechanics this is an absolute dream of a tutorial. Might be my favorite farm yet!

[@LibraritheWizardOfficial]

It's always amazing how you even include little segments like that rapid pumpkin carver. The prep work can be as elegant as the farm itself!

[@KiwiRedstone]

I mean, seriously... I went into a technical community about 5 months ago. Then I found this channel to be perfectly balanced! I'm not saying that this will be a good practice for technical servers to follow the farm like his, but there are some tricks he used which can cut off the amount of time needed to do stuffs, for example, collecting piglins. In my case, I spent 6 hours just to collect piglins for Gnembon's Bartering farm which is exactly what other seems to point out that it is tedious and casual players will never do such things. May the algorithm bless your content!

[@robbybobbijoe]

This is incredible. Just built your wither skeleton farm. Now I felt that I've always needed leather and string, and with seeing this video I can get that with so much extra stuff that I also want like Blackstone, nether brick or just fire res potions

Holy cow this is amazing, really great for grinding specific bartering trades. Awesome tip for pumpkins as well, you are amazing. So fast too, I feel like we just got the stacking raid farm

[@technicbuilder6756]

I don't even make most of these farms, it's just really interesting for some reason to watch these videos. Like, instead of trying to sit through a complicated, half-hour long tutoriel that doesn't end up helping me in the end, I get something super simple with materials that usually fit in 1 shulker box, and only takes, at most, a half-hour to build. Plus, just something about his voice narrating how to build and how these mechanics work is just nice.

[@randomhardcoreplayer2096]

Amazing. Currently entering endgame(making really fast farms) in my hardcore world and these are really amazing

This man's genius knows no bounds. The designs may not boast peak theoretical efficiencies, but the low build times and material costs are beyond worth it. Never before have I seen such cost effective and survival friendly farm designs. The methods devised to simplify the build processes in each tutorial are a testament to the effort poured into each video.

As with your other farms, this is simple to build and very efficient, thank you for uploading these tutorials! If I may say one thing, I feel having the initial room to be a 5*9 instead of 5*8 would allow for a hopper and chest to feed more shulkers into the shulker dispenser, which might benefit some who does this in large batches in survival. :D

[@kice]

I think we can use F3 entity count to see if all pumpkin was used. Open F3, look strange down and then simply jump on the afk spot, then all non-pumpkin headed mob should despawn, and then check the entity count again short after landing. It should be the pumpkin count after all pumpkin was used.

[@rgbforever4561]

your videos are like 10000% better than shulkercringe because you make the farms and you understand the mechanics

[@ancillarity]

I agree with the philosophy that the sorting system should be independent of the trading system: they do not need to operate at the same speed. For my world, I simply collect all the barter loots through a series of hopper minecarts into a series of "buffer chests", then have a single line of hopper sorter to slowly work on all the loot in the buffer chest. This is similar in philosophy to this video except I don't use the shulker boxes.

[@nanopi]

if you happen to be using itemscroller here's an input that helps fill the shulker box with default controls. Shift + Left click drag over several inventory slots will move those items into the container.

[@JDW4444]

Works perfect in 1.20.4 also works perfect with his gold farm. Note: you do have to ignore the gate, bring one extra soul torch. When he places fence gate, place the soul torch there instead. Then place a the top slab the same as he does and a piston facing it and put the lever on the piston. When you make the portal to the overworld and reenter to the farm, press the lever. This pushed the top slab over the torch. I had about 3-4 piglins outside the 2 sides of the glass chambers, I killed them with my sword. Remove the piston and your back on track to follow the video. Works excellent.

[@Krossvii]

I found that adding two soul sand blocks on either side of the trap door tremendously increases the probability of the the piglins falling down into the camber. Combining the slow and lower block height it forces them to fall into the chamber rather than taking a jack o lantern and missing the trap door entirely. just a small optimization.

[@kaveeneshvejasvaran8384]

would the baby hoglins be affected by this in any way? (just curious because i dont rlly understand the game mechanics)

[@Krossvii]

@@kaveeneshvejasvaran8384 No baby hoglins wouldnt be affected, since the baby hoglins cant have a pumpkin placed on their head, if they fell into the hold chamber they would instantly despawn.

[@Krossvii]

@@kaveeneshvejasvaran8384 In addition baby piglins would have to jump, grab a pumpkin and also fall into the holding chamber. theoretical but honestly very rare I dont think is anything to worry about

[@phowy1680]

You have perfected Minecraft at its maximum every detail of your farm make sense and you put as much time as you can to keep it simple, incredible

[@nicchi-haha]

Built it on the nether roof and it worked, I think. Rebuilt the room without the roof and added railings instead of walls and baby piglins were able to simply slip under the railings while hoglin fall through a hole. Afking at the height limit is enough to make the other mobs despawn so that's pretty cool.

The undisputed goat of early world farms

[@CaptainCSlone]

QUICK TIP: If you don't have shulker boxes yet, you don't need to build the redstone contraption at the beginning because that just helps you sort the items you get from the piglins. You should build up to Y = 117, build a 3x8 room and then start building from 6:44. Then, after doing all of that, you just need to put chests behind you. From there it's up to you.
