Minecraft Wither Skeleton Farm 1.21 - NO WITHER ROSES - EASY DESIGN

[@aeonexoriginal]

This spawner works well but needs many improvements. Here is what I did. First, in the kill chamber, replace the trap doors with stone slabs so you only see the mobs feet. Even baby zombie pigmen won't attack you this way. Second, replace all the trap doors that sit atop the stone wall in the "U" around the Iron Golem with stone slabs. This will prevent the skeletons from killing the iron golem with their arrows. The mobs will still see the golem if you did it right. Also remove the close-left and close-right stone walls in front of the pit entrance to prevent skeletons from getting stuck. Be sure to keep the middle stone wall block to prevent magma slime spawning. Third, move the turtle egg to directly in front of the iron golem. It should replace the stone slab on top of the stone wall so the egg is between the pit entrance and iron golem. Be sure to put stone slabs besides the egg on the left and right so the mobs don't break the egg. Don't use wooden slabs because the blazes can burn them up. Fourth, in the kill chamber, build the floors and ceilings with slabs to prevent mobs from spawning in it. Or place torches everywhere, whatever works. Finally, this spawner doesn't need to be in a soul sand valley. I built mine in a nether waste biome and it works really well after improvements. The soul sand valley biome is easier to spawn proof... but if it takes you 10 minutes just to get there, it might be worth it to do the extra work spawn proofing at a closer nether fortress like I did. Ideally, find a nether fortress surrounded by lava. If this helped you, give it a like so others can improve/fix theirs, thank you.

[@nilso3196]

It is easy. The hard and better way to make this kind of farm is to spawn proof a whole radius of 128 blocks from the position you will stand to kill the skelletons. So yeah this really is the easy way, but with less reward in the end

After a lot of work i got it running fantastic. I spawn proofed all those dumb areas that were just outside the fortress. All around above and below. Roughly a chunk out from the fortress walls. They are now all forced to spawn in the farm. Once the spawning slows down because of blazes. I run roughly 64 blocks away in a straight line from the bottom of killing chamber, and wait 10 seconds or so. It resets the mobs and it starts back up again. I got 31 skulls in 30 min with looting 3. Also try lowering your render distance to 6-8 chunks. It might help.

@@thegreatgatsby2738 probably because of a new update. I haven't played in a while so I haven't tested it with new updates. The Devs don't want you to abuse game mechanics like this.

*PSA:* If you're testing this out in a creative world (or any world with cheats enabled) you can skip having to place all the buttons down individually by using the command "/fill ~10 ~5 ~10 ~-10 ~-5 ~-10 stone_button 1 replace air" *UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN YOU HAVE TILE DROP ENABLED* if you do end up executing the command with tile drop enable use "/kill @e" or "/kill @e[type=item]"

[@patrickleeson4726]

I spent 2 irl days placing buttons, spawn proofing as much as possible, did everything exactly how you said it. I get 4 skeletons every 5-10 mins at best. I placed over 12000 buttons, I'm aware the slabs were available to me after reading the comments, but i was already half way through and gotten most of the resources i needed. the fortress takes me 10 mins by minecart, which also took forever to build. I installed an xray mod to see what spawns and I see barely anything spawns in the golem area. no idea what I did wrong here, but I'm about ready to scrap this whole build and do a protal wither farm. after looking at other comments, there appears to be A LOT of people having issues with this build.

[@Doragonfurutsu]

It took me 3 hours just gut gud bro

[@sarahmenger8729]

For anyone who is having trouble with skeletons killing your iron golem, I have come up with a half solution. If you replace the trap doors on top of the walls with slabs, they don't seem to be able to shoot the golem. I changed my egg placement to where the slab in front of the golem used to be, instead of on top. (thanks to another commenter). I then placed 2 more slabs, 1 to either side of the egg but 1 block closer to the killing hole. So they should be flush with the ends of the walls. (I hope this makes sense)... The only thing I haven't been able to come up with yet, is how to deal with the skeleton after this. At this point, it just stays right at the edge of the wall shooting forever. So hypothetically once several have spawned, it could effect spawn rates. However also, if more spawn, they have a higher chance of shooting and killing each other.. so.. maybe it's fine? Hopefully this is able to help at least some!

[@tara07alyson]

i tried this but the wither skeleton stopped path finding and just gather on the side of the wall hitting the slabs nonstop. they wont run towards the killing hole anymore

[@nicolaslagos5906]

hi, i change the slab infront of the iron golem for the egg but blazes still seem not to follow it, i dont understand where you placed the slabs? all i did was change the slab infornt of the golem for the egg, what then?

[@CommanderWiggins]

I've seen a lot of people have issues where using slabs causes all of the mobs to stop pathfinding to the Iron Golem, and after a lot of trial and error the only solution I got to work was going back to trapdoors and swapping out the Golem for a nametagged Piglin, which is what most other Wither skeleton farms seem to use.

[@JustKhari]

i solved this by placing 4 3 block tall glass pillars in the block between the stone walls, dont know how long this solution will work but its been working for 20 mins so far

[@jackstadler3063]

If you find you golem is getting killed by skeletons I found that making it stand on a stone cutter rather than a block is far better as it is lower down meaning skeletons can’t hit it. However withers have to be slightly closer to agro so efficiency will decrease a lil

This is a nice video and good tutorial for the build. However, in addition to the improvements others have mentioned, I really wish he took some time to explain WHY things are done the way they are. Explain why it needs to be a soul valley; explain what the buttons do; explain what the turtle egg and golem do. It's common knowledge to some people, but not everyone, and this is a great opportunity to educate.

[@zagzenzander424]

This farm works on 1.20.1, although is incredibly unefficient because Blazes wont stop spawning and taking away the chance from Wither Skeletons. Barely made 1 head every 5 to 10 minutes. Here is what I did to solve this. You need to replace every empty spawn place (not the walls) in the farm with Wither roses. You will need around 308, wich is almost 5 stacks. Wither roses are drop when the wither kills any mob. You can farm this by spamming snow golems into a hole and then spawning a Wither with them. The initial blast is going to kill every snow golem and drop the roses. Just be sure to stay away from it, because it deals a lot of damage. I replaced the nether bricks with soul soil to plant the wither roses. By doing this all the blazes will be killed by the roses, allowing more Wither skeletons to spawn. I higly recommend reading the rest of the commentaries, here are some tips from the people that worked for me: · Placing a second egg in front of the iron golem, to prevent Wither Skeletons not tracking the iron golem. · Lowering the trap 20 more blocks so the spawn bubble takes just the spot on the farm (if you do this. use hay bale blocks to prevent Withers from dying, then 1 block down put some rails with a minecart+hopper going around. The rails must be above hoppers, so the hopper in the minecart can pass the items from above the hay bale. From here you can make and storage system pretty easy) · Try changing the render distance to the minimum.

[@poppinlochnesshopster3249]

Just build Ianxofour's farm. It takes about 30 minutes, requires no spawn proofing, and will give you about 1000 heads in 1 night of afking it with an auto clicker and a stack of golden carrots in your offhand holding down right click. This farm is vastly more work and vastly worse drops.

To help with pack spawning presumably. If there are a couple blocks outside it can spawn more via packs and since they can't *actually* spawn there you'll effectively get more inside in theory. It's the same reason guardian farms are made to be bigger than actual guardian spawn radii.

It works I did it with slabs because I think I have more vision of what block I already covered. For all the people that says the skeletons kill your golem is because the skeletons shouldn´t be spawining in your farm or that is my case, I did the farm in the ss valley and skeletons don´t spawn I think is more of an error of the offspawining the fortress because it could be any single block that you left that are ruining your farm cause the game will recognize any place where the mobs can be spawned.

[@SamuelSimard87]

This same thing happens to me.

Stand like 20 blocks away from the farm make sure there is no walls and put your render distance on its lowest

[@OSRSKyill]

Built this and it works well, was scared with portal linking but just made sure everything was good (nether portal at spawn platform -> lit sky platform -> place cobwebs light the other one to link to the pre-lit roof section from before, if correct you just open the door and walk outside AND DONT FORGET TO CLOSE IT) PLEASE READ IF ON A MULTIPLAYER SERVER I can't find the original comment but this ONLY works if you are the ONLY person online or 'in the overworld'. If everyone is in the end/nether it will work. I guess the other player in the over world basically insta-kills the withers because they are outside of the player's agro range. With portal linking you're using the skeletons coming through the portal below you & the portal above you staying rendered because of you, so mobs are able to stay alive close to that portal; with someone in the over world the skeletons de-spawn (except if the player is >128 blocks from the portal) before they can walk through the portal above you that you are keeping rendered with the 4 chunks below I didn't spawn proof a lot of the nether and have rates around 120/hr with looting 3, I also walk around all 4 of those glass blocks 4-5 times, then hit them, or just fully afk and hit every 2 minutes or so.

Your spot might be too close to the spawning platform, try lowering it by a block or two. (Minimum 24 blocks away btw)

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

You could also save a lot of button space by just torching up the area of the fortress you arent using. Wither skels wont spawn in high light areas anyway. So no sure what the point of that is.

[@iphonecharger1889]

It’s for all mob spawns tho not just wither. Blaze can spawn in a higher light level I believe

[@flamingtitan9]

This farm is awsome and it does work for me but for some reason my spawn rates are very very low you said I would get 40 skulls in an hour but i get like 7 or 8 also the mobs attack me meaning I cant go afk because I have to heal myself

[@Yummy7878]

in the kill chamber, replace the trap doors with stone slabs Even baby zombie pigmen won't attack you if u do it

[@olliwerhakala8912]

So I've recently obtaind a few stack of wither roses so will the farm work better if I replace the walls/netherbricks with netherrack and roses inside the glass in casing?

[@DLTCanner1]

yes

[@InboundG]

i built this in a neather waste and no mobs are spawning and I cant see mobs around me when I look around. but when I fly around the neather they start spawing on the spawable blocks. what is wrong? it makes no sense to me that no mobs are spawning in it because the mob cap is definitely not full

[@AjMistake69]

U have to build it in a soul sand valley

[@tfav42]

You might need to lower your killing chamber. Minimum 24 blocks away

[@Eclipse_bss]

why isn't it spawning for me ? I did every step in the video and I put my render distance at the minimum and it changed nothing

[@thereddalek7282]

Built this farm block-for block, and the skeletons are spawning. They see the golem and the egg, but don't fall down the hole. Any ideas?

Is it going to increase the spawning rate if you build multiple spawn platform on top on the first one in the video ?

[@tleafyg]

I've noticed that spawn rates are very low, even after double-checking that all blocks in and around the fortress are spawn proof. Any ideas as to why this might be the case?

If you guys have spawn proofed well and it isn't working, then I recommend launching the game in vanilla as some of my mods were making the farm not work for some reason.

Does anyone know if you need to stand a certain distance away from the kill chamber? I get a SLOWWWWW spawn rate.. like maybe 1-3 mobs a minute when I'm standing at the kill spot.

samee!! did you ever fix it?

[@statichispanic6344]

@@kayliestevens5438 The BEST I could do was to stand around about 5 blocks higher than where the mobs spawn Press F3+G to see the chunk borders, and leave an entire chunk between you and the mob spawner. Only problem with it is that you have to be flying back and fourth between that and the kill zone. And its still not that efficient.

[@sandro3103]

super easy to understand, thank u

[@Svr4ph]

Got a few questions: 1. Can the crossroad be in the area where there is a small building/fence above it? 2. Does the fortress need to be 100% in a soul sand valley? i found one where its 90% in a valley and 10% in a normal nether area. Please respond soon if you can, im making the farm right now and im trying to make it fast

[@infinity5647]

The only reason you want to be in a soul sand valley is to decrease the amount of spawnproofing you have to do. If the area approx. 128 blocks radius around the area you will be sitting is in the correct biome you should me fine. There also shouldnt be an issue with your #1

It is because the soul sand valley is the biome with the least spawning mobs so it should be build there to get better rates

[@antoni-ox4ni]

my main problem with this farm isnt the spawn, is the blazes, blazes doesnt fall to the kill zone and they keep on the spawn place, how do i fix this?

[@verde7595]

I could be wrong because I haven't messed with blazes specifically in years but I think if they see the iron golem and start to float, they'll eventually get to the despawn radius. Build your collection chamber lower to reduce the height needed. Again, that's a complete guess.

[@crumby46]

If you have a wither rose farm, put them all over the floor to prevent anything but wither skeleton spawns.

is it okay if the farm is part soulsand vally and party wastlands and part basalt?

[@anderslinden4701]

I built this on a place thats embedded in netherrack, which made it simplier to dig the hole, the performance was lousy however, must have forgotten to cover some of the fortress with buttons. Also I got some zombified piglins in it.

[@sirultim8643]

Little note; If you know that you're not gonna be SUPER THUROUGH with the buttons, don't bother making this farm.

[@m4ge_x793]

does the whole fortress have to be in the soul sand valley or just the crossroads?

[@GageMANN]

did you ever find out?

[@shock_berry4173]

If your spawn rate isnt high turn your render distance to 2 and fly away then come back works really well

[@EbbeHedman]

thx bro

[@adamgajewski6027]

if u dont care about anything other than wither skeletons switch nether blicks to netherrack and put wither roses on it it will make the farm generate wither skeletons faster

[@infinity5647]

I made a change since the zombified piglins werent seeing the egg and blazes would end up accumulating in the farm. Instead of placing the turtle egg above the iron golem, I placed it behind the hole and infront of the iron golem in the place where the half slab was. This allowed the zombified piglins to properly pathfind to the egg and for blazes to see the iron golem to attempt to move towards it.

[@Havetosheet]

Can you explain? Im having a huge problem with blazes accumulating.

[@EbbeHedman]

thx bro

Great tutorial, suuuuper easy to follow. But I don't know why my rates are so slow, I've covered all of the fortress and most of the soul sand around it with buttons.
