I know they're just code but I can't tell if that's hypothetically more ethical or less ethical. Infinite torture sounds like hell to me lol.

@@mattpolz3418Iron farms runs on the the fear of villagers and deaths of iron golems. Other conventional mob based farms are just outright mass death machines. World eaters are literally meant to wipe entire chunks off the map. A lot of player built contraptions are unethical. If you want to play ethically you’d have to never build any mob farms for their loots.

[@matthewlofton8465]

what about witches? I dunno if it's still the case but in the past witches could outheal the damage taken from magma blocks (assuming they cannot also outheal campfires), so that would remove the need to heal your mobs from time to time. Witches can also toss poison, so that could trigger the silverfish mining below without having to have a brewer setup or a buffer chest preloaded. One obstacle I can see is that the silverfish will wander too far (which is fine for later when you move the farm but not so optimal when you're trying to clear blocks). Slimeblock machines tend to be notoriously unreliable with respect to entities, but perhaps you could move the farm around that way to keep the miners busy. The player will need to generate player-damage without also killing the mob, for that you could probably use an autoclicker swording an armorstand. This will trigger a sweeping edge attack from time to time and because the sword is not enchanted with Sweeping Edge enchants the damage these base sweeping attacks do is always 1 point. Add a sword-autocrafter and you don't need to waste more valuable materials on better weapons.

[@matheusmunizduarte]

We have strip mining, crawling, caving, mountaineering, moss-mining, X-ray on bedrock, night vision, doors (for aquifer/underwater mining), TNTs, beds for Nether, crazy redstone contraptions . And now the new way of mining: silverfish poisoning!

@@nicholaspizzalato4526 dying? All i see here is a way to get infinite silverfish, it's way better than when it could go extinct by destroying the spawner in the stronghold, and even though most players are going to use this for mining (therefore hurting the silverfish), I'm going to have the best defense mechanism for my bases now that I make an infested stone farm (also I might get a bunch of them as pets)

[@Scugzerker]

And if you're willing to build this setup, might as well make a splash regen potion to patch up your armadillos after some time. Better to be safe than sorry. It's easier than one of those flying bombardment machines.

[@wattlesplays]

YES!! SMART

[@EGJMoorington]

The damage reduction applied by being rolled up means they take 0 damage, so no need for that.

[@NetheriteBunny]

@@EGJMoorington just in case of entity cramming or some other known reason - its unlikely, but if it runs for too long they could die

[@Planetmango48]

Yes.

[@keithtwombley]

You could use Allays instead of armadillos. No need for a nearby zombie and they are bulletproof.

[@chinesefood3165]

Instead of armadillos you can shove allays onto the campfires and set up a three dispenser system, one with potion of infestation, one with a flint and steel to light the campfire, amd one with water to extinguish the campfire when not using. Just put allays in a hole above tje campfire and use pistons to push them down u til they are merged with the campfires basically, amd because allays have regenerative capabilities they should never die, and also you can dupe the allays with amethyst

[@cyruswarr1192]

what about using a wither rose? no added fire starting/stopping

[@sanelmuric5534]

Try making that auto mining machine in your survival world

[@andrewnichols8472]

Mojang has got to make silverfish be able to infest the rest of the stone type blocks, imagine doing this to find ancient debris or set up an end island trap that causes the entire island to just disintegrate beneath your feet...

As someone who's met a silverfish or two IRL, the raining silverfish here look horrific 😂 In an uninfestable room, torrential silverfish would make a great trap

[@tomasdariuspaun7586]

Id love to see them add grass slabs

[@BrennonHinckley]

Unnecessary but okay

[@matthewlofton8465]

Etho was doing this when silverfish spawners were first added to the game. He figured out how to store silverfish for later, as well as how to move them around.

[@the_fireking]

The guy that found that out just changed Minecraft forever

[@lukusblack6442]

Two issues arise. The first is, when they've eaten away enough floor, the drop becomes insta-death to newcomers. I'd keep the contraption around floor level. The second is, once you've used this, you've got a ton of silverfish to kill. A possibly fix would be a water block just under the fire. Once the floor is lower, it will spill around creating a drop they can survive. Once it the floor is down far enough there should be enough water to drown a good portion of them for an easier cleanup.

[@chinesefood3165]

They are for mining and also allay xp farms now.

[@brandonthegrey]

Why not just use the allay and a wither rose?

[@wattlesplays]

Omg genius

[@cyruswarr1192]

yup.... first i saw of the combo was from docm77.. another youtube series contributor........... but his was for xp... this mining thing is very neat and using game mechanics to do what creative mode commands can do is very cool ie: all stone here needs to disappear haha

[@mrsduck_man]

​@wattlesplays Heya, there are a few 1.21 silverfish XP farms, most which use allays & reg campfires (soul campfires outpase allay's regen), you could probs make an augmented version of a silverfish farm which drops the silverfish into the area you would want to clear, then have a silverfish on the side with an extended poison 1 potion

[@ryanpiotr1929]

That sounds very cruel.

[@VincentVanJoYT]

i once found an actual silverfish in my room. i panicked and i crushed it with my bare hands

[@NetheriteBunny]

*shiver *shiver

[@Im_PG_]

Yeah use allays bc they regenerate fast OR use the witch healer, where you have like 20 witches and a pillager with under 3 hearts, then make a water stream with soul sand to catch the healing potions that the witches throw at the pillager to heal the armadillos OR use tnt flying machines to mine even faster automatically.

[@cyruswarr1192]

i cant imagine trying to clear all those hell beasts to collect all of the exposed ore... neat idea though

[@pixies64]

[@damonhicks969]

[@DragInit0642]

I was about to sleep, and this vid pops out😐

[@conradwheeler68]

box them in with a wooden fence so they can't spread out too far, then they'll just go down and be easier to manage them. sort of like a bonemeal/moss mining. Once the pit is made, they'll just go down until they find bedrock or lava

[@isaacstyles92]

Wow! How outside the box. Was fun watching you figure out how to do it

[@Trident_Gaming03]

Even better than the armadillo for infinite damage is the allay You just put it in a water block, it out-heals the drowning damage, no mob to scare it is needed, and the water is resettable

[@Babooshka47]

Imo they should make a workstation that can make every block into a slab. And also allow 2 different types of slabs on each other. Would allow for so much more detailing in every build

[@stretchmtsa5106]

As someone who loves to build with deepslate, this is painful to watch, all that glorious deepslate being destroyed like that...

[@wattlesplays]

i do feel your pain too

[@DouglasWeaver-j5v]

Blackstone's better.

[@Levee-kx6ul]

A way to make thi semi automatic/afk-able is to have a restone clock that goes in to a dispenser every so often to distrubute poison. Maybe firing at silver fish coming right out of the damage chamber. And then to make sure aramadillos never die, a similar restone clock could dispense healing potions

[@Gilly2020]

Shout out Neisn made a video about this ages ago!

[@GamerShyUncut]

Correction: The armadillo actually does take 0 damage. Using a mod that shows health down to 0.01 of a health point, they take absolute 0 damage by all calculation. This is infinite.

[@Zutanni]

Allays have regeneration also make a good candidate for the silverfish spawners and don't require a secondary mob.

[@soumyadiptadandapat2395]

You cant clean the silverfish after they are finished instead you die trying.

[@bjrnbrekke9626]

I think minecraft should add grizzly bears because the only bears in minecraft is polar bear and panda

[@emiliaperkins]

Since you're going to be making splash poison anyways, could you poison the armadillo instead of using the campfire? That should damage it without killing it. Then you could potentially infest any mob.

[@darkbooger]

Somebody did this with silverfish around 8 or so years ago. They were way ahead of their time.

[@robloxdev2869]

Wattles: dont look it up 1:38 Me: *proceeds to look up immediately*

Silverfish kind of look cute even irl. Cause unlike in games they are harmless in real life.

[@arasdeeps1852]

Harmless? Pretty sure they're as bad as moths when it comes to clothes. They're common where I live. Cute? I'm not normally afraid of insects, but there are a few that creep me out. Silverfish is one of them. 😨

[@jenniferfahnestock450]

That was horrifying. The noise!

[@gigachad416]

Also you can throw regeneration potions along with the poison so the silverfish will take damage indefinitely

[@jeppy4021]

I wonder if termites would behave the same but with wood if it had chosen

[@ashenbreese]

what i would like to see is a setup like this for bedrock as an xp farm. we cannot use the allay trick on bedrock (they die) ,but i'm not sure if armadillos do.

[@PickleNugget-tk6bw]

You could put lingering potions down to make the poison more automatic (after a straight drop for silver fish)

[@IceMetalPunk]

I think maybe wattles has misunderstood why people mine for a long time...

[@claytonsteckel]

Instead of armadillos, use allays. They don't need to be scared and have regeneration. No need for a zombie and they'll virtually never die from damage.

[@CoryLykins]

Love this new format! Would you like to see some condensed long play challenge stuff. Especially the zombie horde mod

[@NetheriteBunny]

I should be doing maths homework (due in 18 hours) but... this is so cooL!

[@Jbait]

warden with a bell and campfire sounds like it'd work

[@jackfrost2692]

This just screams surface to bedrock quarry. Take some time to replace all four edges with Anti silverfish blocks in advance and they could dig a whole chunk out. Just have the poison dropped from the surface on the same timer as the one that drops the potion on the armadillos.

[@DiMarcoMario]

What if you replace the campfire with a slab and make them take entity cramming damage? If they dont die from that it should be more efficent. Like 99999999999 armadillos should make the work really fast. But you will need a good computer for that too.

[@adamallen7070]

It doesn’t work on bedrock lads which means it’s another Java exclusive feature. Silverfish don’t spawn from mobs taking damage from non player sources except skeletons and zombies in sunlight but unless you’re gonna redirect a mob spawner to burn hundreds of skeletons for a few silverfish good luck. It’s also not as effective, silverfish don’t break as fast and you need to again actively damage them so no poison potion

[@imagine8959]

You can make 4 chutes for silverfish to fall down and how water at the bottom of each to break their fall. Then you can make a dispenser that spews lingering poison potion at the bottom of the chutes guaranteeing that every silverfish that falls down gets splashed.

[@hhff8534]

Not gonna work. Lingering potions can affect max 5 mobs

[@imagine8959]

@@hhff8534 huh I had no idea (kinda stupid ngl)

[@ConsistentlyInconsistent]

I wonder if snowballs would work to get the armadillos to spawn silverfish.

Does poison from witches not work for this? If so, it should be possible to set up a farm where a witch is being provoked to throw potions and those potions are being captured by a water stream or something.

Hi I'm Robert I'm using my mom's phone right now. bra Mojang should make it so silverfish can infect the regular versions and make them the infected versions cuz that's the whole thing is if they can't infect the regular versions well how did the infected versions come into existence see what I mean so there should be no such thing as the infected version or at least the infected version should just be what it's called when a silverfish is currently in it. But maybe Mojang just doesn't care about the law or what would make sense.

[@starryagent9936]

Another strategy: the Allay regenerates health automatically if it takes damage. So that’s also a viable option if you don’t live near a savanna or badlands biome, but have access to a woodland mansion or outpost

[@nightowlorder2750]

I think it's better to concentrate a laggy amount of silverfish in a contained area on top of some stone, and *then* you throw the poison and regen onto them, and they will dig you a massive hole in the ground. It's great for digging up massive areas of your world if you know that TNT duplication is cheating.

If you want to, a witch or an allay (which both heal themselves really quickly) will also work.

[@Finity2010-ud2rl]

You might have to change the design for the witch version because there's a chance that a witch might use a potion of fire resistance. (warden or zoglin maybe?)

[@Finity2010-ud2rl]

Fun fact, witches are so good at healing that they can survive a warden's sonic boom.

[@wattlesplays]

wow! i didnt realize that about the warden and witch! thats super cool

[@Finity2010-ud2rl]

@@wattlesplays Maybe not a warden, though. Not only would it be killing all the silverfish, it's gonna be kinda annoying (and deadly) to get it into a position where it can damage a witch, also even if you get it into position, the warden's still going to be targeting you, it's also gonna be much slower, wardens do sonic booms much slower, and melee attacks will just kill the witch. So a zoglin would be better, or even a Johnny vindicator might work.
