If anyone is interested, I built the ~90% efficiency farm shown at 14:40. For a small group of friends on a server it was simple to build and is generating far more than we need. 5 blocks of space between the level the beds are on and the golem spawn floor, and a 10 block fall to the collection/kill area below that.

[@EXOTIC01]

[@ronan5228]

@@roccoberetti7066 The spawnable area is a 16x16 square, 16*16=256. n = number of spawnable blocks within that 16x16 square. If the entire square is spawnable that gives 256/256 = 1. 1-1 = 0 (0)^30 = 0 1-0 = 1 Probability of spawn success = 1 (guaranteed) if all blocks are spawnable, which makes sense. Of course, if there are less than 256 possible spawnable blocks, n/256 will give us the proportion of possible spawnable blocks e.g.128/256 = 0.5 (half of possible blocks are spawnable) I hope this made sense, please let me know if I'm not very clear or if there is another question.

[@nolanmg]

@@roccoberetti7066 My guess is the number of pixels per block the iron golems can spawn on. Meaning n (spawnable blocks) divided by 256 will give you the formula while taking into account every single pixel, other than just blocks as a whole.

What shocked me the most is that even simple farm with lava blade already has 66% efficiency. That means two such modules would already have greater output than one module running at 100%. This goes to show that honestly, any panic-based iron farm that works, is good enough for most purposes.

You know, even though this is absolutely the most pointless thing ever, it really brings home how amazing this game is at letting you make your own challenges.

And that is arguably equally valid to any other way of playing. Extremely nerdy and cool video mate

[@violaisreallycool]

I second this!!! It’s so useful to know the deep mechanics behind the farm instead of simply the schematic as if there are any different variables like height, biome, material used, difficulty, etc. the farm’s output could be impacted. Knowing the different factors in spawning and the precise workings allows you tremendous freedom to adjust your design to exactly what you need! It’s a unique video in that respect and so I like to very much :)

The fundamentals of logic are as close to constancy as you can get in a universe like ours. MC's rules of physics are a different reality, but they are consistent and have their own logic.

This really helped with my understanding of iron farms really glad you made this video.

[@LowGok]

You are the rockstar dude ! Very nice video, love you math approach that is all I like and if you merge it with my favorite game it feels so good !!

[@KeithDriscoll16]

We need videos like this for every automatic farm. Great work!!

[@SnowyBlizzardMC]

I’ve been on a break from the game for 2 years and coming back to it, this was the perfect refresher course/specific information update to watch after returning, thank you so much🙏🏻🤙

And the factorial clock was what was running through my mind as a potential fix to that timing issue, it was super clever and I’m glad you included it

[@hassanbusbaih135]

I love your videos and please continue to amaze me with every new video you upload.

[@Ghalibdlh]

Do this for every farm and make a series out of it! would be very great

[@SuperTylerMan11]

So damn cool! I build simple iron farms, but realizing how slow it can be, and using your math calculations, in great detail, I’m planning on giving these farms a try! Excellent video! Absolutely amazing!

[@simplecrafter-jt2qj]

Best iron farm video ive ever seen, fantastic work. You deserve way more subs

[@agentx3]

I cannot even fathom the hours this took. Well done.

Back in my day we walked through the tundra biome uphill both ways to mine iron by hand, and we were thankful for it.

Awesome video I love these in depth technical explanations of Minecraft’s mechanics. Very well put together video and great explanation and editing. 👍

[@Jhtpo]

I havent played minecraft in years. I never made these farms. But the skill and presentation is wonderfully done! Please keep it up!

[@NicoisLOST]

Thanks! Appreciate it, glad I could lure you back ;-)

[@sameeranbapat9429]

Love the video! This video shows the commitment to your understanding and knowledge of the behind the scenes and technical aspect of Minecraft. Most of the time players only care about the number of items obtained through the farm. This is what real efficiency looks like! This sort of technical stuff is for those hardcore(not specifically world players... it is an expression) players that want to maximize their farm rate through math.

[@kepler_drew853]

Great video! A succinct yet thorough explanation of the relevant mechanics, allowing the viewer to modify the excellent designs within to best suit their needs. The production quality is high too, surpassing that of most technical minecraft youtubers of even 6-digit subscriber counts. Of particular note to me was the visual sequence accompanying the golem spawning rules at 1:56; it's humorous, keeps the viewer's attention, and aids in understanding those rules. All in all, great work!

[@NicoisLOST]

Thanks a ton! Those two in a row were my favorite to build and were fun to figure out how to make, so I'm glad you enjoyed them too!
