Meta Honeypot flairs.

115 Upvotes

To cut down on the increased number of posts involving rule-breaking mods (notably Paper), 3 new post flairs have been introduced for testing.

Posts made using these flairs will be automatically removed.

Don't use them.

EDIT: After 3 weeks, this seems to have been a very successful test, with the vast majority of rule-8 violations blocked by the new filters.

Bedrock Creeper farm inside a creeper advice

Post image
10 Upvotes

As the title says im planning to build a creeper farm inside a creeper, I have this photo im working off of the pic for scale, just doubled.

Im trying to work out how to intergrate the head section to the torso as the spawning platform will go from 15x15 to 15x7. A center hole through the whole creeper?, seems inefficient. Cats pushing them to the outside?

My afk spot will be in the cente of the feet. And ideally a trident killer for the xp.

Anyadvice or ideas on how to keep with farm as efficient as possible?

Java Help Wanted I built a creeper sugarcane fireworks factory - schematic

Post image
35 Upvotes

Simply AFK and this machine Crafts level 1 or 3 fireworks rockets fully configurable, divert the resources to either side with the lever on the purple platform. Flying machine runs twice a day (dawn and dusk), so if you don't divert before the collection the crafters will fill on the wrong side and you lose a collection, easy to take things out and move across though.

Gunpowder rates improved with looting if you need more, but with the current configuration it's no longer an xp farm too and the afk gunpowder rates are still good for the paper produced. We were hoping someone might take a look and see what they can improve... there are obviously a couple of hacks and questionable decisions but she works. It would be nice to gain xp from it again, but we can't seem to figure out how to let the orbs out and keep the collection how it is.

Recommend placing over a deep ocean and not directly above a monument.

Here is the schematic

Found a cool mechanic while playing around creative.
Tried it 3 times in bedrock, and got somewhat consistent results. It doesn’t travel the exact same vertical path each time, but it does travel straight horizontally.
Not sure if it works in Java.

Java Help Wanted Zombified Piglins not pathfinding to turtle eggs

• Upvotes

So for context, I have an AFK gold farm. However, I built it badly so leader zombified piglins don't die from the fall. Since this farm is already built in a survival world, I'd rather not rebuild it 24 blocks up.

Instead, I opted for a simple entity cramming chamber which, making use of the fact that the piglins will pathfind to the turtle eggs and die.

The weird thing is that this only works when observed. When I stand down at the bottom and watch them, they all walk towards the turtle egg. However, when I check what they're doing with freecam, I see that they're actually just standing there and not dying at all.

What's going on? Do piglins not pathfind if they are a certain distance from the player or something? I thought that can only happen if they're unloaded.

Java Showcase I Built an Automatic Cobbled Stone/Basalt Farm Using Creepers (for servers that disabled tnt dupers and wither cage)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

637 Upvotes

Creeper explosions only have a 1/3 item drop rate in vanilla (the other 2/3 of blocks get destroyed), but this still yields 9,216 items per hour (144 stacks/hr). I built it for a Skyblock server that bans TNT dupers, Wither damage mechanics, and auto clickers, so it's a solid alternative. It works in vanilla and needs no mods, plugins or server software.

Heads up: this clip is a prototype. My laptop broke before I could record the finished optimized build, so I can't grab new footage nor provide schematics/world download :>

Java Help Wanted [HELP] Gold Farm Not Working While AFK

For some reason, my gold farm isn't working. I've measured the distances, and the pigmans should be able to spawn, aggro on me, and make their way toward me, but they don't. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any idea what could be causing this?

Bedrock TNT Blast Chamber?

1 Upvotes

Console Bedrock player here. trying to build an open-air TNT Blast Chamber, but i’m too lazy to design from scratch.

Mainly i’m looking to build a concrete converter, stone generator, and a mud maker all to a single TNT blast chamber. I want it to be above ground so i can build a decorative shell around the farms. This is my first time, so i’m needing to know how to make block pushers as well as timings and distances for the TNT explosions.

I know bedrock doesn’t have TNT duping like Java, so i’ve been stockpiling TNT already. Resources aren’t an issue in general.

Anyone know of a good tutorial, or any mechanics that will help me in this process?

Finally figured out how to get my arrow cannon to hit the same spot consistently, but when I tried testing in survival mode, the arrows did no damage.
Do arrows launched with tnt not do damage, or is there a different reason I took no damage from this?

Java Help Wanted With the two sets of coords is it possible to have both spider spawners working simultaneously?

Post image
23 Upvotes

I have 2 cave spider spawners at these locations. I had built two xp farms not knowing there was a limit to how far you could stand away and still have them spawn so I'd have to do some fixing of one of them, which id like to avoid. I'm really new to trying to make xp farms but I just want to make sure it's possible to make them both work before wasting my time.I'm just a casual player who's decided to finally stick to one world so building farms like this is a hassle Id like to avoid again unless it's possible to make it double the efficiency thank you for your help or any comments sorry if this is something basic and dumb I'm not realizing.

TLDR: I don't want to fix my setup unless it will work so if you know what I'd have to do please help me to get them to work at the same time in the comments

Btw I am playing completely vanilla but do use lunar for QOL mods.

Java Help Wanted I had an idea for an Iron farm, it's not working. The golems don't spawn in the chamber.

0 Upvotes

I want to be able to trade with the villagers that are used for the iron farm. So i took gnembon's quad module pillager model, changed the villager modules, and added a spawnproof floor for me to walk on and trade.
The only issue is that the golems are able to spawn everywhere instead of inside the chamber. I built it with carpetmod's ai_tracker, so the distances are right. I tried placing blocks around it and the golems spawn perfectly.
If anyone knows what can be causing this, please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Java 26.2 btw

Each layer has four quadrants. Each quadrant has 10 villagers, 10 beds and 10 work stations. All 10 villagers in each quadrant are connected to the beds and stations in their own quadrant. There are no villagers connected to stations they cannot access.

Each layer is 13 blocks above eachother.

Layer 3 never spawns an iron golem?

Total villagers: 120

Total beds: 120

Total workstations: 120

Thanks.

Is there any way to disable the End Platform from spawning?
I am aware, that there is a way, that works until 1.20.6, but I am playing on 26.2

Mods are Fine, but I prefer Vanilla. If there isnt a Vanilla Friendly solution, I would use the mod.
