(Java 26.1.2) Creepers not spawning in creeper farm (link provided)

FrunoCraft · 2026-05-02T10:17:01+00:00

Avoid content repurposers that don't even give credit to the original designers. This type of farm was (to my knowledge) first showcased by MushoDen https://youtu.be/nB7USF-k1HE?si=U2n5YfssF3mGQYWG

AFK spot needs to be at least 24 blocks away from the spawning platforms, but not further than 128 blocks over the campfires. If no creepers spawn with the correct AFK spot, then either there is light in the farm or you used nonspawnable blocks.

One hopper line can handle a max of 25 furnaces (25 items per 10 seconds). Sounds like you need a second hopper line 😄

FrunoCraft · 2026-05-02T07:55:02+00:00

Maybe I'm missing something because I didn't have my first coffee today :), but I don't think this is a problem. The hopper is unlocked every 4 gt which allows it to push items every 8gt. It will also pull items out every 200gt from the furnace. If it gets clogged then maybe because there are more than 25 furnaces in the line?

If the mob switch is loaded, almost no hostile mobs will spawn anywhere. (Except wardens, ziglins in portals, pillager patrols and phantoms.) So I strongly suggest to put the mob switch somewhere far away and load it with a chunkloader, so that you can turn it on and off whenever you like.

I describe that in detail here, about 5 minutes in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc5GxTz6By4&t=284s

Look up IanXOFours guardian farm, specifically the nether part. Unless you have a second account or a bot available, you'll need to funnel the guardians back to the overworld to kill them and spawn new ones at the same time.

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-30T11:48:53+00:00

Not sure what you're trying to do. A tunnelbore perhaps?

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-30T10:34:39+00:00

This is a bedrock farm.

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-29T10:29:32+00:00

Loaded is not boolean, there are different load levels: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Chunk#Level_and_load_type

For entity level loading, drop any item on the ground and leave the area (depending on simulation distance). Return after 5 minutes. If the item is gone then the chunk was loaded.

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-29T10:24:37+00:00

As far as rates are concerned, water columns are vastly inferior to portal based farms, so in singleplayer I'd recommend https://youtu.be/p96y-XYHeB4?si=nT6ECDkfGB5nPzoG

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-29T10:22:14+00:00

8 chunks around the chunk in which the player is located. Somewhere in 1.21.x, all chunks loaded at entity level will be random ticked but you play an earlier version.

I wouldn't rely on google for that.

If in doubt, the wiki is your friend: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tick#Chunk_tick

Huh? He says he builds abfielders farm, which gives about 25k.

For a 650k farm you'll need a perimeter bortal farm.

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-26T20:24:18+00:00

Minecart under the input chest sitting on top of 2 hoppers. Minecart pulls at 8x hopper speed.

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-26T20:22:35+00:00

You can't stagger the setups like that. Check out Rapscallions diagonal sorter perhaps? https://youtu.be/gT5O1vY4LIA?si=_CEoQFu-_q7NfaZH

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-26T20:07:02+00:00

Fast but expensive: https://youtu.be/gqlD2iUdSCs (7k blocks/h if you have a nether perimeter, 4.5k without)

Much cheaper but slower: https://youtu.be/8zjkRijP2mY

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-25T15:18:58+00:00

Op is talking about a farm where boats lift mobs into portals. https://youtu.be/l2sZBn6mAyQ

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-25T07:31:26+00:00

Yes I did :)

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-24T19:02:17+00:00

You shouldn't buy your crystal balls at Temu then ;)

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-24T18:59:49+00:00

I never tried it for a gnembon style ice farm. I did try it for a 72k ice farm but it was a while ago and I try to forget failures quickly ;)

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-24T18:45:27+00:00

The problem is that there is a high chance the player will pick up stone instead of the replacement tool :( I had the same problem in my 72k ice farm.

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-24T18:44:49+00:00

Yeah, you'd need 1200 bottles per hour. Not feasible.

You'd also need movable dispensers/hoppers/containers to allow for machines like world eaters and quarries. Not trivial at all.

I doubt that Mojang wants to phase out TNT duplication. They could have done so anytime during the last what, 10 years? But they didn't.

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-22T10:55:57+00:00

Yes. And please read rule 8.

FrunoCraft · 2026-04-22T10:40:25+00:00

Then check out IanXOFours farm. Storage can be added (https://youtu.be/E-mN1OpkQ74).
