FrunoCraft | 1 million gunpowder per hour? Fast creeper farms in Minecraft 1.20.2+, Java Survival 200k to 1.2 mil @FrunoCraft | Uploaded 8 months ago | Updated 3 hours ago
This video showcases a creeper farm that I built in Minecraft Survival which produces about 200k gunpowder/h and can be built over the course of one weekend if you have a bit of time to play. It is an update to my earlier farm youtu.be/ODNLo7MAEgM, that unfortunately no longer works due to boat looting being broken in 1.20.2. But the change is minimal, you can resurrect your farm by just updating the killing chamber, and the maximal rates are very close to the previous version.
The design of the spawning platforms is by Methodzz. The farm is portal based and will NOT work on a server if there is another player in the nether but further than 128 blocks from the mob elevator away. In this case you'll need a second player/account AFK near the bridge.
The farm will NOT work on bedrock.
At the end I'll showcase a second version that I constructed in singleplayer and provides over 1.2 million gunpowder per hour, but this one does use a second player to kill the creeper, either a carpet bot in singleplayer or a buddy on a server.
Notes/corrections:
* In 1.21 you can no longer use boats to push mobs out of a portal, as the boats would just go through. Just close off the portal with solid blocks, a slight improvement may be to use blocks of different sizes like mixing walls and building blocks. But the farm works fine otherwise.
