[@sniper7303]

[@NomaeTheJester]

High end XP farms are capped by the rate the player can pick up XP. The rate a player can pick up XP is based on the size of the XP orbs a mob drops. Guardians and Blazes drop more XP, so their theoretical maximum XP rate is higher. That said, this seems way easier to make than either a blaze or guardian farm, and more reliable than an enderman farm (only really an issue on multiplayer). Definitely a good farm for midgame.

[@HRfromJohn]

Gotta love the PETA farm, its not a good farm if it doesn't bring animal ethics to mind. It's definitely not the best farm but its got its uses. Other than construction is pretty convenient. it can be anywhere and only produces mobs when needed, though it does seem to make a lot of noise that would get the authorities charging you for mob cruelty. It does seem to be limited with how fast the player can absorb exp. Never mind.. Surprisingly, after a short wiki search, the silver fish drops the same exp as an enderman. who would've known. I wonder what farm designs others will make to optimize this farm is Mojang doesn't nerf it first.

[@Yasser-444]

actually you're wrong, it doesn't matter if you can infinitely scale the farm because the bottle neck here is how fast can you pickup xp, enderman farms already produce more exp than you can pickup. it also depends on the size of xp orbs the mobs drop, pillagers and guardians drop larger xp orbs than enderman or blaze, but if you want to go all out, ravenger drop the largest xp orbs. what's cool about this farm is it can easily replace any spawner farm in the game, as it's so simple to make and you can build it anywhere you want.

[@Sucralose2]

this is vey clever and important but also Im pretty sure a good enderman farm produces xp faster than the player can pick up anyways

[@lo-dawg6644]

Thanks for the kind words, and yes it's true that Endermen farms already produce more xp than the player can absorb, so the speed at which the two farms level you up is the same. An important thing to note however is that this farm still produces more mobs than Ender enders, so even though the amount of time it takes to level you up is the same, the total amount of xp is greater in a shorter amount of time. With that being said, I was wrong when I said that this farm is better for xp than Guardian farms, at the time I didn't understand how xp absorption mechanics worked.

[@Sucralose2]

@@lo-dawg6644 I did notice that this could be set up pretty much anywhere though. the other options are only dimension / location specific, this is basically a potion powered mob farm, although a bit less humane edit: I wonder if this could be replicated with regular zombies / snow golems (throwing snowballs) / witches (throwing potions or being hit and drinking regen). Like, maybe the potions could be used to boost the output of a mob grinder by having a bigger water pit style kill chamber where extra fish could spawn while they all get killed

[@lo-dawg6644]

@@Sucralose2 This farm works in the Nether, you just need to use a wither rose instead of water. The rates when using a wither rose are faster too because the damage events are more frequent, I didn't put it in the video though because I forgor. This potion is awesome and there are many other applications for it, like with snow golems and witches, but I haven't really seen or thought of any designs that beat the simplicity and convenience that the Allay torture chambers provide. The potential is there though, and as Minecraft continues to get updates throughout the years I'm sure we'll see more use cases for the effect

[@Mr.Sparklez]

For you bedrock users out there a powdered snow works instead of water just killing them. Also bedrock doesnt have entity cramming so put as many as you want in there And finally bedrock doesnt have sweeping edge, so make the drop as deep as possible so they are on lowest health, then once enough have accumulated, throw a harming potion

[@vellbear]

[@sebuzz17]

pretty good design i guess, it should be easy to add a crafting system for the potions and a 3 min timer with on/off switch to throw them on top.

[@hahahabahaha]

Dude, use a bonfire, not water or a viser rose. You can also throw a potion that summons slimes after death, and in fact it will turn out to be a slimes farm. It also increases XP for one killed silverfish.

[@zakshei6967]

Wow I never thought about having the floor where you slash them be an enchanting table, gonna use that design lol

[@stanzacosmi]

What if the enchanting system actually had more literal enchanting. Like you can pick which enchant you want, but you have to find it first in a chest somewhere. which could also mean that they can allow mending to be given by the table as you still have to find it first and is more humane than a villager farm.

[@skatistaradical]

Hook this up to a potion auto crafter and put it on a 3 minute counter and you got yourself a fully automatic silverfish farm! Plus using vines to stop the entity cramming

[@dialog_box]

7:30 hah! sadly that's not how that works, although I'll admit to confused by probabilities all the time. But a 200% chance of anything is nonsensical. Rather, the accurate statement here would be that an average of 2 silverfish should spawn with each damage tick.

[@butlazgazempropan-butan11k87]

[@renatovaldes6059]

this is incredible, thank you m8!!!

[@DaviJohns]

I would love to see an enchanting update that makes it so I can actually choose my enchantments. I seriously spent over 200 xp lvls getting a max sword, just because it would give me bane of arthropods 4 over and over and over. I wouldn't mind spending over 200xp lvls getting a max sword, if it wasn't as infuriating and luck based. I love the idea of making max level enchantments harder to get, ONLY if it means getting rid of the goblin tinkerer style enchanting. Making enchanting harder, AND keeping it rng based sounds so painful. Enchanting, anvils, and just XP in general need a whole revamp istg. I would also like more powerful items, but like REALLY late game. Because it adds more progression, also its just fun being stupidly overpowered really late game. Maybe like a sharpness 6 book you can ONLY get from like the trial chambers or something? Maybe you can upgrade the enchanting table with the dragon egg, and that allows you to get better enchants? You can pretty easily dupe the dragon egg, or they could just make it so you get an egg per dragon. So you don't miss out on also having it as a cool item to show off.

It doesn't scale infinitely though. Existing farms already run into the limit of the max amount of xp orbs a player can absorb in a given amount of time. Guardian farms are better than prettymuch all of them because they drop bigger orbs allowing the player to absorb xp faster.

[@walls171]

honestly I love the engineering but the fact is infinitely scalable seems like a problem, for lag and balance, my suggestion to nerf it would be they just add some form of limit to how many mobs splash potions can affect, either just a strict limit of x amount of mobs, or they could make it so after x amount the effect time starts to go down, which effectively results in a limit but less strict

[@DashPum4]

I dont know what you mean when you say this farm is more efficient than endermen farms. They both provide the same amount of xp, and there are also faster mob farms like guardian farms. This probably isn't even the fastest xp farm to build, because you need to find an allay which can take a while, breed it a bunch of times, and get all the resources for infestation potions which will take some time. The benefit of not needing room in the mob cap to spawn is real though, and I actually think thats where this farm shines. If a server's mob cap is full, the only xp farms that you could use would be like furnace xp farms, overworld portal piglin farms, and spawner farms (and maybe more that i missed) all of which are either tons of work or very slow. So I'm happy they added this farm, because I think the time spent getting potions and allays makes the xp output of the farm balanced, and the farm doesn't take away from other farms, because other xp farms are still needed because they're faster.

[@lo-dawg6644]

The speed and efficiency of this farm is completely up to the player, which is what makes it unique. If you want, you can build a skyscraper full of 15 Allay chambers with 20 inside of each, and produce enough Silverfish to crash the game instantly. And as crazy as all that sounds, I think the cost of potions does an okay job of balancing that out. The amount of Silverfish breaks the max hostile mob count with ease, where Endermen and Guardian farms can't

[@DashPum4]

@@lo-dawg6644 that isnt how experience works though. theres a limit to how much xp a player can absorb per second, so having more silverfish doesnt actually lead to more xp.
