I love that this is quick enough to set up that I can find a wandering trader selling blue ice, pause my game, find this video, build the setup, and then still have plenty of time left to get some blue ice. (Unfortunately I messed up and clicked at the wrong time after getting less than a stack, but I probably had a solid 30 minutes left on that timer)

[@vulpes133]

Okay, this is a fantastic tutorial, but I have to say one of my favorite parts is that you showed me about the F3 pie chart's block entities. Seeing that list made me think I could use it to help find spawners, and behold luckily enough from my own base there's one that appears in my list! So this video was really 2 tutorials in one for me, thank you!

[@VoidOperator]

This is amazing and the timing couldn't be better since I'm starting on a new SMP on June 1 and villager grinding is totally my thing

[@cubicmetre]

I appreciate that somebody actually made a tutorial on a simplified mechanism for the void trading mechanic, when I originally developed the concept with end gateways I quickly realised a few issues that I might have to correct you on. First of all the mechanic does not work by making the villager "forget" that it was traded with, instead it is simply preventing the game from accessing and modifying the villagers entity data. When the player pulls items from the GUI the game tries to update the villagers data however if the villager is not found on the entity list it fails to send the update. However if the chunk that the villager in exists anywhere in the games RAM then the game will load that chunk and lock out the trade. This means that villagers inside of border chunks that extend twice as far as your render distance will also trade lock. Meaning this rail system would be massively inconvenient on servers where you cannot control the viewdistance.

[@genessab]

No offense cubic but did you read his response? Your estimate of 48s/trade was almost 3 times too high, and he is well aware of the border points you’ve made. His server version (in this video) calculates the server render distance for you, and for a normal render distance of 10 chunks it works out to take ~17s.

[@ffttossenz]

Using pie chart as a reference for server render distant :o So clever, I never thought of that

[@ultralysp]

Returning the boat with villager to its parking spot and reversing the vehicle is such an ianxofour move.

[@samporcellato5125]

If you're having issues with this in 1.20+, try putting the trading station @8:55 an extra 1 chunk farther after the block entity disappears from the pie chart. The reason for this, at least from what I tested, is that block entities are detectable 1 chunk closer in 1.20 than in 1.19. The distance you see the minecart return should be the exact same in 1.19 and 1.20, so the formula @10:35 still works.

Thanks,im definitly doing this in my world,so simplified great job

[@Oscillascape]

For those people doing this on 1.19. Even though I have seen stated in these comments that simulation distance doesn't override render distance, that wasn't the case for me. When I tried this farm with render 2 and simulation 12, it failed. Everything was correct. Distance was build 1 to 1 and I was nowhere near spawn or anything chunk loading it was done on a blank test world about 1k blocks away from spawn. However when I switched to 2 render and 5 simulation magically it started functioning (maybe something to do with optifine?). Not sure where the breakpoint is, but that is from my own personal testing. Great concept otherwise!

[@biawa2979]

Followed all the instructions and am having a similar issue, though on a server, so I'm not sure how to fix it

[@Oscillascape]

@@biawa2979 hey I wanted to let you know that I made it work. Here is the deal, it cannot be in loaded chunks. Meaning if you are building this in or around the spawn and one of the chunks of always loaded this will not work. You can use minihud to check bounding boxes for spawn chunks. Also if you have any chunk loaders that will have similar effect. Second, I had to extend the built by an extra chunk in each direction when setting render distance. So in single player I would set render distance and simulation distance to absolute lowers possible setting when running it, but even then it still had to be 1 chunk longer in each direction that the video states for minimal distance. If you server is running higher render distance/simulation you will need to adjust the length as he talks about it in the video. Tldr, the farm works, just needs to be longer then the video claims. I haven't tested it with anything other then the lowest possible settings in single player though.

I assume this is affected by 1.19's addition of simulation distance (like Bedrock's system), but your build guide should account for that without issues. Nice tutorial, definitely cheaper time-wise than an end setup.

[@Music-hn4oq]

If you can help whit this pls: 1.20 vanilla server, built 1000 blocks away from spawning chunk. Everthing seems exactly the same as the tutorial, but the villager won't refresh trades. I tripple checked that a ender box didn't appear in the pie chart at the place where I actually traded with the villager, and after trades, all the xp were at the end of the villager side track.😢I think it showed that I traded with the villager while we were at two extreme rails on the track(I only built 2/3 of the track to trade with one villager), so it should be that the villager isn't processed?
