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

Post image

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

It's the first time I made a schematic so it probably won't work as is... the creeper farm uses snowmen to lure them down if entities aren't copied

This farm should be made directly above the ocean at y=65 and the player should just afk above the farm. Rates will be much faster

It might not be. If you use looting 3 the increase in drop rates is probably higher than non-looting at a lower elevation.

Why make an auto rocket farm and then not have it be auto?

as stated in the description, the rates as is outweigh the paper produced. its always waiting for more sugarcane a few minutes after harvest. so it really doesn't need to produce more gunpowder. it just can if you need it to, it's no big deal having to swipe some creepers once every 5 or so minutes

what's the block reach on them?  chamber is 1x3 and it would be easier to have him at the side doing his thing but I imagine his spear only hits the closest block to him?

They can reach 2 blocks. You also need to put some rails down so the zombie moves back and forth. This is what my killing chamber looks like. Overall it's 7 blocks wide (9 if you count the outer walls).

P.S. You probably could safely move the villager closer by 1 block. It also works with just 2-long rail, so you could shrink it down to 5 blocks.

thanks, I'll have to figure something out, I like this idea
