[@hound-22]

The video quality keeps getting better and better. This was top notch ♥ I'm glad you're getting comfortable using voice overs, they add a whole lot of life into these videos. All the explanations, snippets you used for it are great. The only thing I would suggest more is looking into adding a few infographics (even animating those similar to how you animated the highlights showing y level and mobcaps in those shots but a lot more expansive) to help people visualize things easier. (The youtube subtitles must have been so time consuming, but it's a nice touch btw.)

[@Dave_Rooney]

Thank you Hound ^^ Happy to hear my videos are getting better. Yes, I agree, I should've used more infographics, but since it was my first time doing this type of thing, I obviously didn't have the experience to make good ones as of yet. I shall keep that in mind and perhaps learn some animated stuff to make my videos even better. Ah yes, glad someone spotted the subtitles and indeed it took a lil while to do :p

[@The_Casual_Me]

To even try and make this in a survival world is something terrifying for me Really good job on the farm and the video!

[@auraa42]

If anyone was wondering, yes, this only works in 1.19+, JAVA ONLY. However, you can make it work in 1.18 by using the cart yeeting mod.

[@butterfly-fy3wz]

Does this work on bedrock edition. And on paper 1.16 plz

good job! i like your explanation, your design and the mechanic of the farm

[@Dave_Rooney]

Thank you so much, glad you did ^^

[@Grafeeti2]

Super solid videos, concepts, explanations and editing! I've subscribed, just one recommendation, your audio fluctuates throughout the video, both in voice and music volumes. It'd be easier for people to follow without having to adjust volume levels. Perhaps try keep your voice at the same dB level, and have two music dB levels of 'background' and 'showcase'. Should be a super easy adjustment considering how well your videos are already made! Appreciate the content :D

[@Dave_Rooney]

Thank you so much! I really do appreciate the detailed comment, it's one of the things that help me improve my videos! I agree with your recommendation, as it was my first proper speaking video I was bound to not do so great on the audio quality lol. I will try what you suggested and also do some more research on audio quality and make it better for my next video!

[@rayaya6580]

why does the showcase sequence feel like a "you got that" thirst trap 😭

[@doopdoop7895]

hi, is there a way to have the killing area be above the spawning platforms? it would make spawnproofing a lot easier as you are at least 48 higher than the current design

[@adev9224]

Thats crazy!

[@Dave_Rooney]

Crazy good :p

[@Luukestopanimaltesting]

im trying to use modhud on a server and i've downloaded servux but i cant seem to see the boundary boxes. i have all the toggles enabled so im not sure what to do

[@d.d.5633]

Including the walls, the spawning skirts are 10 blocks wide?

[@jared8882]

Hey, i built this in my survival world but im having a issue with the minecraft and hopper minecarts. Issue with the minecarts is that the are exploding into a mess after being dispensed and getting lost from the farm. issue with the hopper minecarts is that the all fall off the track and land on the redstone repeter. I think whats happening is its dispensing them to quickly? idk if u have any idea what might be going on.

[@Red_MC]

is there any way to get it exept from patrion?

[@arcticsandz]

Is there a block by block tutorial?

[@jared8882]

This farm looks sick, do u know what the drops per hour is if you don’t build it in a perimeter?

[@Dave_Rooney]

If you don't do a peri or the roof then it will be about 1k+ skulls per hour if I remember correctly

[@jared8882]

@@Dave_Rooney still crazy rates haha, thanks allot

[@andersbendtsen1746]

Well you cant use the roof can you? if mobs only can spawn in the spawn area of the fortress you need it to be in nether and not above it@@Dave_Rooney

[@AmandaComeauCreates]

It's lovely and all, but how do we scale this down to a smaller size?

[@Dave_Rooney]

tbh if you want a smaller size farm, I'd check out other simple farms like IanX04's design. This farm was mostly designed for a 3+crossroad for max rates.

[@gerardmatthieu907]

​@@Dave_Rooney For intermediate farm , fortune8diamond farm is even better: it is the fastest non-crossroad no-peri wither skull farm i have ever seen , and can be build in almost any soul sand valley fortress. It also require mostly cheap material ( exept for the iron golems and beacon )Definitly recommend building it , produce ~1 skull every 8 second

[@rayanarshad9332]

Because i can't find out a way to use it. Is it a resource pack or something else

[@user-kq4gr4zh1l]

does it work on spigot server?

[@yourmoroccan]

I have a question I found a perfect nether fortress in the soul sand valley with a lot of lava around it , no blocks interfering with the fortress and I think 5 crossroads, the problem is the litematica doesn’t fit on all crossroads could u help me out ?

[@Dave_Rooney]

does it have 3 crossroads in a line and is it at y48?

[@akafox5267]

Hi, I'm from Russia, but I love content from foreign people. I came across your video with this farm and would like to get a schematic. Unfortunately, I can’t log into Patreon due to sanctions. Is there any other way to get it?)

[@logangonkowicz6229]

use iron golems for better rates, that way you don't remove 30 spots from the spawn cap

[@JayV300]

nametagged mobs dont count to the mobcap

[@phantomphoenix9539]

This a 3 cross road design? I found 4 Crossroads in my world in a square shape can this be formatted for that crossroad layout?

[@Dave_Rooney]

Yes it is a 3 crossroad design, tbh it might be too much of a modification to work for a 2x2 crossroad, but you're more than welcome to try yourself ^^ Ideally you'd use a 3 long one with any extras.

[@godflyz]

Im having trouble with the armor stands, any tips?

[@Dave_Rooney]

Use a piston (where the trapdoor is) to push the armour stand into the amethyst so that it sits inbetween 2 blocks then destroy the piston so that it doesn't retract the armour stand. If you're still having difficulty, dm me on discord and I'll send a video ^^

it says that the raodfinder is a virus, its not. right.??

[@brazilianguy4219]

i was testing this in creative and i can´t get more than 1300 skulls/h , i built it in a 3 crossroads within a 1k by 1k perimeter (more than perfect spawning conditions). is there something i can do to reach desired rates? thx i rly liked the design and concept of this farm

[@Dave_Rooney]

Have you placed the lowest platform 1 below the bounding box and is it at y 48?

[@brazilianguy4219]

@@Dave_Rooney Yes i did, but the lowest platform on this bounding box is at y 60 guess ill need to find a better fortress before i build it in survival, thank you for helping me :)

[@user-hs1yg1xj3o]

Why do you say in the video that the bottom platform should be at level 48? my intersections are at a different height. Would it be fair for me, for example, to level 65 for the lowest platform?@@Dave_Rooney

[@Dave_Rooney]

@@user-hs1yg1xj3o because the lower it is, the higher the rates will be, you can still do it at your height but expect slightly lower rates than advertised

[@SnailyTheSnail]

I really want to make this farm in my world, but I have a question. Is it possible to build and use this farm with just using optifine, minihud and if needed an autoclicker mod?

Yes, but you may experience more lag with just those mods.

can you leave the schematic link please?

[@Dave_Rooney]

It's in my patreon linked in the description.

[@mazenwalid4707]

Why do they require nether bricks as building blocks

[@meister_guenni]

because, if the blocks arent in the small bounding box but in the huge bounding box around the entire fortress structure, mobs could spawn on nether brick blocks

[@Dave_Rooney]

I'm assuming you're talking about the skirt around the farm? If so, it's because nether fortress mobs consider the nether bricks to be part of a fortress even if it isn't. But this only works within the whole nether fortress area/bounding box.

does it work in 1.20.1 ?

[@poppinlochnesshopster3249]

No not really. The video tells you it adds about 7 MSPT, which is fine. + it will be in an isolated location in the nether, likely not near anything else contributing to lag.
