The wither farm is done! TY for the stone donation
There's a few cosmetic things to change, but the actual farm is up and running. The rates are pretty, er, good? I managed to install a few hoppers incorrectly and reduced to my game to 1 fps as the drops weren't being shifted fast enough!!
I do want to improve the access, and I also want to improve the Nether Network to make it clearer where stuff is. Maybe a central hub located at spawn with signposts etc?
@Thejudochop your place is nearest spawn, so it would be roughly around your nether portal - ight with you?
Not sure which is faster for xp, the new wither farm or the gold farm. Gold farm is passive though. There's a pic below showing the drops from just 5 minutes. To get the best you'll want a LootIII and Sweeping Edge III sword with mending. I'll prolly leave one in the killing area. To get to the farm, take the rail 1km south. Get out and then folllow the purpur half slabs. The entire area is slabbed, so there's no nasties. You will need to activate the farm - I'll be sure to sign it all.
AN IMPORTANT WORD - TURN OFF THE FARM WHEN YOU'RE DONE!!!!! Letting the chunks unload with the farm running could result in a failure. If this happens, I will not be happy! Be sure to turn off when you're done. As ever, feel free to use, but only take what you kill/loot yourself. The lower chests can be replaced with shulker boxes if you want to take stuff in bulk, but be sure to replace the chests when you're done.
I've moved the wither killing area to the end - the place near my nether worked fine, but it was tearing up the carpet that I need for the gold farm to work, so that area is no longer there. It won't take too much longer for you to head to the end instead. Just place the soul sand on the obsidian blocks, add the heads and the wither will get trapped, allowing you to kill it at your leisure.
I think this is the first time I've had a stack of nether stars whilst playing vanilla! GG!
I'm going to be spending a little while exploring - I'd like to find a Mesa biome and a mushroom Island biome, let me know if you've found these already. Feel free to join in, comment and have fun. Laters - Ham
That is some serious loot - that's just 5 mins of use!!!
The placement of the sand and skulls - add the third skull, and BOOM!
As you see - trapped and helpless lol
64 Nether Stars? Are you jelly bro?
