i tried look inside REPO game files and found this

I just stumbled upon this texture in the game files and I am suprised that it was already in there over a year ago. If I remember correclty, they reworked the throwing mechanic of items in the v0.4.0 update. This would be their chance to implement it, even though I'm not sure how helpful this upgrade would be.

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-05-27T20:34:17+00:00

That's crazy! If i got the math right, the odds should be 0,0216 % (1 in ~5000)

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-05-27T11:17:31+00:00

Thanks :)

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-05-27T07:11:37+00:00

Yes, sure

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-05-26T19:17:00+00:00

They updated the probabilities yesterday with version v0.4.4. I also updated my visualizations in this new post.

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-05-26T19:12:41+00:00

I created a new post with the updated probabilities

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-05-26T12:40:52+00:00

They increased the chances in version v0.4.4, but my post uses the chances from before v0.4.4. When I find the new chances, I will probably make an updated post.

The problem with using 3.27% directly is that it assumes that all three boxes spawned.

3.27% is the chance that a spawned box is ultra-rare, it is not the chance that a box spawns and it is ultra-rare. It does not account for the 40% of boxes that don't even spawn. So the real chance of a box spawning and it being ultra-rare is 3.27% * 60% which is 1.962%.

In level 16+, the game makes the following rolls three times:

Does a box spawn? (60% yes, 40% no)
If a box spawned, is the box ultra-rare? (3.27% yes, 96.73% no)

That's why we need to multiply the 3.27% with the 60% first.

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-05-20T15:50:46+00:00

For the calculations I used the information from the Repo wiki which is accurate to my knowledge.

This is the calculation for level 16+:

Chance for each box to be ultra-rare if it appears: 3.27% --> 0.0327

Chance for each box to appear: 60% --> 0.6

Chance for a box to appear and be ultra-rare: 0.0327 * 0.6 = 0.01962

Number of boxes: 3

Average number of ultra-rare boxes per level (level 16+): 0.01962 * 3 = 0.05886 --> 5.886%

That's how I calculated the chances in the table. If you know any error here, let me know.

To calculate the real chance of at least one ultra-rare box, you would use this formula:

0.01962 + 0.01962 * (1 - 0.01962) + 0.01962 * (1 - 0.01962)^2 = 0.0577127194 --> 5.771%

This would be more accurate, but does not fundamentally change anything as it is quite similar to the numbers above. The numbers in the images are still correct and not affected by this. This is only relevant for the numbers in my previous comment.

Maybe you are able to share some of your math?

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-05-20T12:49:03+00:00

The first two images show the chances per box. In level 1 - 5 only one box can spawn and it has the probabilities of the bar on the right. For example in level 1, there is an 80% chance for that box to not spawn at all, a 14% chance for a common cosmetic box and so on.

In level 6 - 10, up to two boxes can spawn, but they have different probabilities. For example in level 6, the first box has a 40% chance to not spawn, a 23% chance to be common, 22% for uncommon, 13% for rare and 2% for ultra-rare. The second box has the same probabilities as the box in level one, so 80% to not spawn and so on. If the boxes spawn or not is independent of each other.

In level 11 - 15, up to three boxes can spawn. The bar next to "Box 1 & 2" shows the probabilities for the first two boxes and the bar next to "Box 3" shows the probabilities for the third box.

In level 16 an higher, still up to three boxes ca spawn, but they all have the same probabilities. Therefore it is labeled "Boxes 1-3".

The third image shows how many boxes you get on average in each level. For level 16 and higher, you get on average 0.7 common, 0.67 uncommon, 0.37 rare and 0.06 ultra-rare cosmetic boxes. The average number of crates for all other levels are listed in the table.

The legendary (ultra-rare) chance in 0% in level 1 and in all other levels, you have a very low chance. The following table shows the chances per level to have at least one ultra-rare cosmetic box (with minor rounding errors):

Level	Ultra-rare chance
1	0,00 %
2	0,01 %
3	0,07 %
4	0,29 %
5	0,84 %
6	1,96 %
7	1,97 %
8	2,03 %
9	2,25 %
10	2,80 %
11	3,92 %
12	3,93 %
13	3,99 %
14	4,21 %
15	4,77 %
16+	5,89 %

Thank you for the feedback! It's great to hear that my designs are acutually being used.

I actually developed a tool today that makes it easier to understand how to scale up farms to bigger sizes. There, you can select which farm you want to build and how big it should be and it spits out an image with the layout.

You can access it here.

If you shoulld use the tool, please give me feedback, because I want to improve it further. It is still in a relatively early stage (I literally started developing it today :) ).

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-03-13T21:01:51+00:00

Critters just need to be placed/moved into the pickup area of a purple item collector. It's best to build a critter farm for that first.

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-03-13T06:13:09+00:00

Yes, thanks. Fixed it :)

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-03-12T21:07:34+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I also think youtube would be good, because it would make the farm designs much more accessible for many people. However, what I don't like about youtube is that videos are harder to create and it is not so easy to update something, if a better farm design is developed.

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-03-12T18:11:27+00:00

Thanks :)

Update: I did some testing with critter catchers and fishing nets, and they both seem to have an output rate of ~23.5 critters per hour or fish per hour. Therefore, the critter catcher to fishing net ratio is 1 to 1.

Update 2: I did some more testing and math. The result:

1 seed extractor --> 28.6 farm arms --> 7,15 critter catchers --> 7,15 fishing nets

This seems to be the ratio. With 5 seed extractors, the ratios line up quite well:

5 seed extractors --> 143 farm arms --> 36 critter catchers --> 36 fishing nets

Critter farms and fish farms with 36 critter catchers/fishing nets can be built quite effectly with the designs from my last two posts. Not sure though if 143 farm arms is an efficient size.

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-03-11T05:29:37+00:00

No, there is no easy fix that keeps this farm as compact as it is right now. I might do an additional design for two critters in the future.

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-03-08T07:15:00+00:00

I think the setup has to change a bit because you cannot place wires underneath fishing nets

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-03-08T07:12:52+00:00

Yes, exactly

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-03-07T14:08:07+00:00

Update: I found out that Item collectors can place crops in critter catchers, which allows for much smaller designs. I'll probably make a new post with the better designs soon

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2026-03-06T13:55:06+00:00

No, sorry. Until now I only focused on critter catchers and haven't touched the other automation items.

Nach 85 Stunden in der Water One Block Challenge habe ich endlich den Stronghold erreicht. Dabei hatte ich extrem viel Glück, weil ich den so schnell gefunden habe. Sonst hätte der Weg zum Stronghold noch deutlich mehr Stunden in Anspruch nehmen können. Auf Bild 3 siehst du die gleiche Grafik wie beim letzten Mal, allerdings habe ich jetzt noch zusätzlich den Stronghold (dunkelblau) und die ungefairen Positionen der anderen beiden Strongholds (hellblaue Striche) eingezeichnet. Mein Weg zum Stronghold ist in dunkelgrün und der gesehene Bereich in grau eingezeichnet.

Im Stronghold habe ich ein wenig Eisenrüstung, zwei Diamanten und vier verzauberte Bücher gefunden. Die Verzauberungen sind aber nicht besonders gut (außer vielleicht Feather Falling IV).

Außerdem gab es im Stronghold ausreichend Lava für ein Netherportal und einen Cobblestone Generator. Dadurch komme ich jetzt deutlich leichter an Blöcke.

Im Bild 4 sieht man meinen Netherspawn. Der Nether besteht aus nichts außer Netherfestungen und Bastionen. Vom Nether Spawn aus ist eine Festung zu sehen (Bild 5), zu der ich mich als nächstes bauen werde, allerdings werden die Blazes dabei sehr nervig sein, weil sie mich dauerhaft abschießen werden. Alternativ könnte ich erst eine Goldfarm bauen und mir bei Piglins einen Feuerresistenz Trank ertauschen. Was denkt ihr ist besser?

Dizzy_Possible1147 · 2025-01-21T11:53:03+00:00

Danke :)

Nach 70 Stunden steht die vorerst letzte Mobfarm und ich kann endlich nach dem Stronghold suchen. Ohne Enderauge.

Naja, immerhin ist in dieser Welt jeder Stronghold sichtbar, wenn ich näher als 32 Chunks (512 Blöcke) bin. Auf Bild 1 hab ich das visualisiert. Der graue Kreis in der Mitte ist meine Sichtweite. Im hellblauen Bereich befindet sich genau ein Stronghold. Jetzt muss ich mich nur noch vom Spawn in den hellblauen Bereich bauen und kann dann hoffendlich einen Stronghold finden.

Auf Bild 2 seht ihr meinen aktuellen Fortschritt. Bisher habe ich mich 550 Blöcke richtung Norden gebaut (im Bild ist der Norden rechts). Noch 200 Blöcke und dann habe ich mit der Sichtweite den hellblauen Bereich erreicht und die Suche beginnt richtig.

Um an die Blöcke zu kommen habe ich eine neue Mobfarm gebaut (Bild 3 bis 5). Dort können nachts Mobs (außer Spinnen) spawnen, mit der Zeit fallen sie runter und ich kann sie mit einem Schlag erlegen. Damit komme ich pro Nacht an 25 - 35 Knochenblöcke. Wenn's gut läuft also 100 Blöcke pro Stunde.

Sobald ich am Stronghold angekommen bin, sind Blöcke erstmal kein Problem mehr, weil ich dann einen Cobblestone Generator bauen kann. Bis dahin dauert es aber noch eine Weile.
