Minecraft Selection Sorter / Multi Item Sorter (2 subscriber special!) Techman88 2018-06-16 | A variable sorter, plus a way to feed items into this variable sorter. Very convenient. Closest concept I've seen is from Maizuma Games, which also uses variable item sorters, but arranged very differently. Tango Tek's sorter has some of the same advantages, but is fundamentally slower. This works at hopper speed while most "multi item sorters" work at less.Capable of 15-16 categories, each with a single chest (27 per chest / 405 items total) or double chest (810 items total). Does not require leaving items in chests, also allows easy expansion of storage chest area.World download: Teleport to: 343 59 -636mega.nz/#!M9xHETpD!z9uxVAxVypCuP2RD9dsyacyv3k_oWouFcPPcrviXiXwI used Carpet (server) + Optifine/Liteloader (client)Carpet is used to freeze the game as well as advance tick by tick (using /tick step 2).Carpet mod: youtube.com/watch?v=RK21v-7aLA8Keybind mod is used to bind keys to pause and advance.

Fast Piglin Bartering/Sorting Hall & 280k items/hour Gold Farm concept Techman88 2020-05-27 | This piglin trading hall is designed to be fast, with parallel sorters for stackable items (quartz, obsidian, gravel etc), and a final sorter to keep the soul speed books, netherite hoes, soul speed boots, and destroy the potions. Has options to destroy the other items you don't want, such as iron nuggets. This is a good compromise of speed and simplicity and can handle about 5k gold ingots/hr the way I built it, with room for expansion to higher speeds.Also an idea for a very fast portal gold farm chamber with looting, inspired by gnembon. The XP becomes a game crashing lag problem, so I show a way to pull the XP into a corner where it gets destroyed by lava, while the items float over it. I'm seeing rates about 280,000 items/hr - 3600 gold ingots/hr and 134,000 gold nuggets/hr, using a 2x2 chunk portal farm.Thanks to Major who helped design this as well as Nukelawe.Potion sorter is fromEliTheWolf youtube.com/watch?v=u7b7txxamGEWorld DLmega.nz/file/IloRBBoQ#dSC6VrxkR_mNwNa5O5S-f9U5cKOEf50Gqn3oKWNr3egMinecraft 1.16, tested in 20w11a
Fastest 1-Core Birch Tree Farm [3GT] - Collab with Comet107 (125k logs/hr) (and challenge!) 1.15+ Techman88 2020-04-21 | Uses two instant dual-edge zero tick generators, with variable block event delay, for the main log pushers. The log pushers are columns of pistons pushing perpendicularly to each other to push the logs out. There is no room for error in timing on the various parts. The sapling collection is probably incomplete, but I am pretty sure enough leaves are crushed. My challenge to whoever is interested, is to make this farm fully working (send me a message on discord.. I'm on prototech and scicraft). I may come back to it sometime, but I am done with it for now.3GT was not possible before 1.15 (correction from landmining - it sort-of was, just not for the full tree). In those previous versions, the birch sapling growth would be blocked by the piston arrangement needed to do 3GT. Those versions, to my knowledge, needed some very complex zero tick double piston extenders. This is more of a proof of concept."Fastest" is a bold claim to make and it's understandable if people take issue with that. I only make this claim among single-core farms. If you know of a faster (or any other) 3GT single core birch farm, please send me a link or the title of a video, cause the fastest I can find is 4GT. Offhand bonemealing and fast clicking are not generally used, and maybe this is a new category of tree farms, but I'd say let's keep it interesting and maybe a little easier. I would love to see the tree farm veterans try their hand when dispensers are not needed.Note: this is probably directional and possibly positional (thanks vktec for pointing this out). Seriously I would NOT build this in survival despite the apparent simplicity. It uses excessive amounts of bonemeal and a lot of hard to place hopper minecarts for sapling return.World download. This might be directional or positional. Note when running, some moving blocks may not show, since minecraft seems to assume piston movements slower than what I use. mega.nz/file/h15BhYzB#ZmxSLhqEIldXHhcoQ9rGp6oiU7Ia_RMmtCv5V_o5zawComet107 channel: youtube.com/channel/UC-j_Tbo0d8Pbh2X2-sUvR7A .

Minecraft 1.15 Fast Jungle Tree Farm (32k logs/hr, 12gt) using honey/slime block leaf crushers Techman88 2020-02-14 | Instantly starts harvesting at tree growth using instant piston mechanics, and uses pistons to time other pistons, resulting in a relatively simple 12 gt jungle tree farm. Very much similar in concept to my previous video youtube.com/watch?v=9h6WM6547Dk but with new double piston extender leaf crushers to get enough saplings for jungle trees.Rates: 24k logs/hr without player assisting with bonemeal, 32k logs/hr with player using bonemeal, 37k logs/hr with clicking script.I had to kinda limit bonemealing to start at game tick 11 instead of game tick 9 (which should be possible since all the blocks where leaves can grow are retracting at this tick), probably due to update order stuff, but it doesn't impact the rates much and I've had enough with optimizing this farm.Thanks @vktec#8691 on discord for the suggestion to use beacons and whoever also suggested hoppers.Autohotkey clicking script I used, copied and modified from elsewhere:#MaxThreadsPerHotkey, 2SetDefaultMouseSpeed, 0SetBatchLines, -1ListLines, OffF12:: bFlag := !bFlag While bFlag Click Right Sleep 150ReturnWDLmega.nz/#!t1x0zAab!Vsh1aZXXdep3THr6zpC34pdBP7hmWHC-VlSdiR3csc4

It clears the tree in 12 game ticks I believe, by detecting tree growth instantly and beginning the piston sequence.

Cleaning sticky mouse wheel without disassembling it (Logitech M500) Techman88 2019-11-09 | Please only do this if your mouse is so bad you are going to buy a new one. Be very careful applying the oil. I would only deposit a little droplet of oil at a time and test as you go.This also fixed my middle mouse button and I'm not sure why.I used tri-flow (teflon based lubricant, mostly volatile, with precise applicator) and 99.9% isopropyl alcohol. The oil dissolves the gunk without evaporating too fast, and the alcohol dissolves the oil-gunk mixture so that it can be pulled into a paper towel, then evaporate quickly. These liquids are unlikely to dissolve much salt and end up depositing the salt on electronics. I then used a vacuum cleaner to pull out any remaining fibers.A video showing disassembly of a similar mouse wheel - this is what I wanted to avoid.youtube.com/watch?v=BwyTJaVsxvA

Pillager/Raid Lag Explanation and a Fix (Minecraft 1.14.4) Techman88 2019-09-26 | The main lag seems to be caused by pillagers having a PatrolTarget set (an XYZ value), which they cannot reach, but continually try to pathfind through for example a mountain gap which causes laggy pathfinding all the time. This PatrolTarget is set on randomly spawned raids, the ones that rarely, and randomly occur anywhere.This is the bug tracker issue bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-157697It's "fixed" but they won't release the fix until 1.15 if history says anything. They should make 1.14.5 with minor fixes like this.My fix to the lag, just tells them not to patrol. You could just run this every few seconds in a command block, but I'll try to make a datapack./execute as @e[type=#minecraft:raiders] run data merge entity @s {Patrolling:0b}May have some effect on raids on villages, in which the patrol leaders have Patrolling set to 1b. I did not test this with village-based raid farms, which may be affected.I tried to simply remove PatrolTarget (which I believe is a good fix), but failed to find a working solution. Here's an attempt:/execute as @e[type=#minecraft:raiders] run data remove entity @s PatrolTargetIt always resetted the PatrolTarget to 0,0,0 after running that, in all the variations I tried.Also tried commands like this/execute as @e[type=#minecraft:raiders] run data remove entity @s PatrolTarget.X/execute as @e[type=#minecraft:raiders] run data remove entity @s PatrolTarget.Y/execute as @e[type=#minecraft:raiders] run data remove entity @s PatrolTarget.Zbut it had the same effect, PatrolTarget would still be set to 0,0,0. I couldn't manage to simply remove the array. There might be a way to do this.To summon a pillager that will cause lag:/summon minecraft:pillager ~ ~ ~ {PatrolTarget:{X:5000,Y:0,Z:0},Patrolling:1}A patrol leader copied from an actual random spawn (after hours of tick warp @ an ocean monument):/summon minecraft:pillager ~ ~1 ~ {Brain: {memories: {}}, HurtByTimestamp: 0, CanJoinRaid: 1b, Attributes: [{Base: 24.0d, Name: "generic.maxHealth"}, {Base: 0.0d, Name: "generic.knockbackResistance"}, {Base: 0.3499999940395355d, Name: "generic.movementSpeed"}, {Base: 0.0d, Name: "generic.armor"}, {Base: 0.0d, Name: "generic.armorToughness"}, {Base: 32.0d, Modifiers: [{UUIDMost: 8155537058742812996L, UUIDLeast: -8989477423505343755L, Amount: 0.0798937026941346d, Operation: 1, Name: "Random spawn bonus"}], Name: "generic.followRange"}, {Base: 0.0d, Name: "generic.attackKnockback"}, {Base: 5.0d, Name: "generic.attackDamage"}], PatrolLeader: 1b, Invulnerable: 0b, FallFlying: 0b, PortalCooldown: 0, AbsorptionAmount: 0.0f, PatrolTarget: {X: 5000, Y: 70, Z: 0}, FallDistance: 0.0f, DeathTime: 0s, HandDropChances: [0.085f, 0.085f], PersistenceRequired: 0b, Patrolling: 1b, Motion: [0.006517125234045166d, -0.0784000015258789d, -0.01838171977574866d], Health: 24.0f, LeftHanded: 0b, Air: 300s, OnGround: 1b, Rotation: [190.26996f, -29.157398f], HandItems: [{id: "minecraft:crossbow", Count: 1b, tag: {Damage: 0}}, {}], Wave: 0, ArmorDropChances: [0.085f, 0.085f, 0.085f, 2.0f], Fire: -1s, ArmorItems: [{}, {}, {}, {id: "minecraft:white_banner", Count: 1b, tag: {BlockEntityTag: {Patterns: [{Pattern: "mr", Color: 9}, {Pattern: "bs", Color: 8}, {Pattern: "cs", Color: 7}, {Pattern: "bo", Color: 8}, {Pattern: "ms", Color: 15}, {Pattern: "hh", Color: 8}, {Pattern: "mc", Color: 8}, {Pattern: "bo", Color: 15}]}, display: {Name: '{"color":"gold","translate":"block.minecraft.ominous_banner"}'}}}], CanPickUpLoot: 1b, HurtTime: 0s, Inventory: []}And a nonleader/summon minecraft:pillager ~ ~1 ~ {Brain: {memories: {}}, HurtByTimestamp: 0, CanJoinRaid: 1b, Attributes: [{Base: 24.0d, Name: "generic.maxHealth"}, {Base: 0.0d, Name: "generic.knockbackResistance"}, {Base: 0.3499999940395355d, Name: "generic.movementSpeed"}, {Base: 0.0d, Name: "generic.armor"}, {Base: 0.0d, Name: "generic.armorToughness"}, {Base: 32.0d, Modifiers: [{UUIDMost: 1091068557595069214L, UUIDLeast: -5600343144297854598L, Amount: 0.032188637513724826d, Operation: 1, Name: "Random spawn bonus"}], Name: "generic.followRange"}, {Base: 0.0d, Name: "generic.attackKnockback"}, {Base: 5.0d, Name: "generic.attackDamage"}], PatrolLeader: 0b, Invulnerable: 0b, FallFlying: 0b, PortalCooldown: 0, AbsorptionAmount: 0.0f, PatrolTarget: {X: 5000, Y: 70, Z: 0}, FallDistance: 0.0f, DeathTime: 0s, HandDropChances: [0.085f, 0.085f], PersistenceRequired: 0b, Patrolling: 1b, Motion: [0.09824108023061612d, -0.0784000015258789d, 0.1033702431011876d], Health: 24.0f, LeftHanded: 0b, Air: 300s, OnGround: 1b, Rotation: [156.74881f, -15.138995f], HandItems: [{id: "minecraft:crossbow", Count: 1b, tag: {ChargedProjectiles: [{id: "minecraft:arrow", Count: 1b}], Charged: 1b, Damage: 0}}, {}], Wave: 0, ArmorDropChances: [0.085f, 0.085f, 0.085f, 0.085f], Fire: -1s, ArmorItems: [{}, {}, {}, {}], CanPickUpLoot: 1b, HurtTime: 0s, Inventory: []}
Programmable billboard display w/ variable-width characters Techman88 2019-09-19 | Type out messages to be displayed on a large billboard. Big display of 2x2 or 3x3 pixels, or more. But the main thing is how I store characters using water bottles and swords.Arranged somewhat like a modern computer (post 1980s). The character data is read by a decoder which puts it into columns of video ram. Characters are stored in shulker boxes using sequences of water bottles (bit 1) and swords (bit 0). Waterbottles are useful here, because they're unstackable and also easily detectable by pushing into brewing stands. Much of this could be optimized, but I kept it simple.If you build this, please be careful on the character memory part. I set this up using non overflow-proof sorters, but you should probably not do that, and manually place the items into the sorters.The "keyboard" part I didn't fully explain. Items are stored every other hopper to avoid an update order issue. I left some notes in the world download on proper use as well. Mainly, if you send a key before you should send one, it can really screw up things - but if you use it right, this won't be an issue.DL: mega.nz/#!sgQSWapT!Qb0-wXjp6st58eFdQ6eu-hUzAqwL_homEjwo6EATvdo
Industrial Turtle Shell/Scute Farm Techman88 2019-09-09 | Best farm for making too many scutes.Technical findings:- Turtles will track 1-high water blocks but greatly prefer 2-high, with 16 block range. Won't track waterlogged blocks, *including* bubble columns. Only track regular water blocks of all types including falling & flowing water.- 20% of eggs will hatch per night around /time set 21500. Assumed 2.5 eggs laid on average. In the world download version (48x14 sand area), the upper average should be ~336 baby turtles per night.- Main MSPT limitation is the baby turtles needing to be entity processed to increment age. This could be mitigated by feeding the babies seagrass as shown at 9:28 . Otherwise they need to be entity processed 24000 times.- Feeding seagrass to turtles is dependent on ping lag. Aiming slightly forward will improve chances to feed, as the server appears to check predicted client player position vs server side turtle position.Since nobody had made an overpowered scute farm, I made one, and thoroughly investigated turtle mechanics. Tested in 1.13 but should work just fine in other versions.Glowing effect for "pregnant" turtles (use repeating command block):effect give @e[type=turtle,nbt={HasEgg:1b}] glowing 1Simulated giving seagrass from minecart:/execute at @e[type=minecart] run execute as @e[type=turtle,nbt={Age:0,InLove:0,HasEgg:0b},distance=..4] run data merge entity @s {InLove:600}Some technical info was gotten from Rays Works videoyoutube.com/watch?v=IcnPYOVhYyMTested in 1.13.

Optimized AFK vine farm for 1.13+ Techman88 2019-08-24 | You need a BIG area of vines to get any efficiency in a vine farm. Vines grow every 22 minutes from my tests (tested 1.13.2 carpet). This has about 750 potential growth spaces, split into two sides with a shears refilling station in the middle and a switching water stream to switch between sides. With 750 spaces, the growth rate is 0.56 vines per second, or about 2000 vines per hour, which matches with my tests using item counters (got about 1900). This is probably way more vines than you need, but why not go big.The water streams are a lot different in 1.13. I used slime blocks to make the player move slow and harvest 2 out of 5 vines (soul sand would allow harvesting 3). Optimally this hits 2 or 3 out of 5, the optimal out of a binomial distribution, but soul sand has some disadvantages. Regardless, big brain math is no substitute for actual testing.If you want to try soul sand, I would suggest using 4 loops instead of 2, and making the loops 35% shorter, and also testing the water streams a lot, because slime is very close to not working.A lot of inspiration from ilmango's vine farm from long ago, the only other video I found with serious attention to efficiency.youtube.com/watch?v=yFsrbOgNABoAlso worth mentioning cortezerino's mending shears vine farmyoutube.com/watch?v=SlOIL7vMPlIWorld DL:mega.nz/#!w0wVlSSa!Nsufva2Y-nAUXEggJgnlmbnveoWq3H7hkwxDuZjz-AoMusic from elwood youtube.com/watch?v=DkKoMveT_joCalculations13 sections = 133 durability275 blocks in section5 min tests, vines grown out of 275 blocks:6055656059rate = 22 minutes per growth per block(5 minutes)/(60/275)2/5 growing = 9.16 minuteslap time (1 side) = 3.4 minutes 2 side = 6.8 minutes 3 side = 10.2 minutes

Guardian Farm, 8x24x8 (1.13+) Techman88 2019-07-31 | Showed how to setup the water columns and water streams, did efficiency testing using carpet mod, and tested sending mobs to the nether. On a server, a farm this size should work fairly well even with other players online, simply because it has so many spawning spaces. Just remember the guardians share the mob cap with other hostile mobs.Not to fool anybody, the bulk of the work is draining out the water. I used Gnembon's strategy with a video here youtube.com/watch?v=SjwHNvzjMd4 , and used tweakaroo to make the sand placing fast and fun instead of tedious.Rates are something like 36,000 drops/hr with the high afk spot. It's intended to be a balance between spawn rates, looks, and ease of building.I believe Iskall85 inspired this build in the first place: youtube.com/watch?v=1JGtyiFr5mY . But mine is better - it's just July 2019 technology vs June 2019 technology. Was randomly boating in the ocean and saw an ocean monument and took the opportunity.

Guardian Farm Integrated Sorting & Crafting System Techman88 2019-07-29 | Primarily designed for crafting sea lanterns, with added options for dark prismarine and regular prismarine stuff. Items are distributed evenly to droppers so you'll always end up with the correct ratio even on short AFK times at guardian farm. Sorts 32,000 items/hr total. Assists crafting 10 sea lanterns per second, but it's expandable. Designed in 1.13 but should work in 1.14.The interesting part is the integrated sorters and item distributors. The hopper minecart is stopped by bumping into a comparator at the top of a slope, in a position where it can pull items from the water stream above, and also sit on a detector rail, read by a comparator. This allowed integrating the sorter and item distributor logic into one component, and making it 1 wide tileable just like standard hopper sorters. This setup might be useful for general item crafting.It has 10 droppers for crystals, 8 droppers for shards, and 1 dropper for ink. This accomplishes both the 5:4 ratio for sea lanterns, and the 8:1 ratio for dark prismarine. If you desire faster crafting rates and more storage, you could do a 20/16/2 or 30/24/3 arrangement of crystals/shards/ink respectively (cannot go above 30 crystal chests in one row, because this would pull all the crystals out of the hopper minecart and wreck the sorting), just make sure to power all the droppers. You can also stack more chests vertically to get more storage.World DL:mega.nz/#!NhIiDSQQ!FMoZ3_FYrAw9hP3ESqAipfX1rFMSd7djsSiA2iLMH0w
Category sorting system based on 0xs superdense storage Techman88 2019-07-23 | Sorts items into categories, rather than single item types, so you could have a category for e.g. all glass types, all log types, etc. Uses a technique shown by 0x, where a hopper minecart is set up to pull a single item from a category chest, changing the signal strength coming out from a comparator. This is essentially a 1d version of 0x's 2d superdense storage but completely rebuilt. My first youtube video was a similar system, but this one is simpler and expandable. Speed is up to 1.3x hopper speed.Forgot to say in video, if you build this, make sure any item type you use is only in 1 category. Otherwise, the hopper minecart will pull from multiple category chests, and you'll need to fix it. Also be very sure all named items are correct (the H1-H5 categories, safety, and filler).I'd probably pre-sort common item types like stone/dirt, and unstackable items, but these won't break the system.This is designed for 1.13+, since it uses a waterlogged trap door on the unloader, and the faster item movement without ice.Improvements I have in mind:- Shulker sorting capability, based on the first item in the shulker. Should just take some small redesign of the hopper minecart preparer (.- Locking all the hoppers behind sorted chests, when items aren't being sorted (ilmango has said this setup can be fairly laggy, because of multiple item types)0x's sorter youtube.com/watch?v=jftWUEdEstIPallaPalla's fast item to binary encoder: youtube.com/watch?v=ksfBEgLSpA0Shildifreak's sorter, which uses a similar interesting concept (forgot to mention in video): youtube.com/watch?v=JHwewmpdZi8My first design of this concept, does the same thing in a much different way.youtube.com/watch?v=20Jiy7bKHjMDownload: mega.nz/#!0gpQQYQT!HRrF3DRtN5SuU2QUhHs3F6mnqkBB0ew_zBGG_KMfwUs
Concept iron farm 1.14.4? Iron Magnet Techman88 2019-07-11 | This looked like a good idea on paper, getting up to theoretically 7 "villages" in the place of one. Whether it's worth building, that's another question, since it takes up the space of 9 villages and uses more villagers than it needs for redundancy/simplicity. If the 35 second golem spawner timer is increased (which may have happened in 1.14.4 pre3), this sort of idea will be worthwhile. It is called "iron magnet" because some prototypes looked like strong magnets.DLmega.nz/#!Y8plWKrQ!jzk_cr7UUEzIX5WjHy9Ng9IQv0frVsmA31oJ4H32p2wVillager Stats 1.14.3 datapack by FACS01: http://www.mediafire.com/file/itzj45egqkydxvk/Villager+Stats+1.14.3.zip(included with download but if downloading to your own world put this in saves/worldname/datapacks .. use for instance "/function villagerstats:cmds/tag.time.worked.slept.add.all" to turn stats on)
Response xisumavoids furnace XP farm challenge & new simple zerotick cactus farms Techman88 2019-07-08 | Thanks Xisumavoid for featuring the cactus farm youtu.be/TvXtLT3ftr4?t=280He decided on a different furnace design, not mine or ilmango's.. I think mine and especially ilmango's are superior, but they don't look as good. I'd say it is not possible to have auto reset in a look like xisuma's, at least in a compact design.The cactus farm Xisuma built is about 5200 cactus/hr, or 1.4 cactus per second, measured with carpet in 1.13.2. This is enough for 14 furnaces, and with a large furnace array you should never run out of XP.These are really the best class of furnace XP farms you can build. 800 durability repaired per furnace, no inconvenient reset buttons, 1.5 wide tilable. Also showed some new zerotick cactus farms which are also skyblock compatible. Furnaces reset XP in approx 1.1 hour. I did not show fueling this, because there are a wide variety (e.g. blaze rods from blaze farm, coal from wither skelly farm, charcoal from tree farm, kelp blocks from kelp farm, carpets and bamboo) - and fuel also smelt many items.Further notes:- Make sure fuel & cactus are fully stocked or the indicator lights won't come on and reset won't work.- Comparator reading from furnace can't be on compare mode (its front light should be off)- If loading the world DL to 1.14, you won't get XP from the furnaces, because cactus_green was renamed to green_dye and furnaces use this name (this is a big annoyance from version to version). Just throw out an item from the furnaces, when the furnace recharge they will give you XP.DL: mega.nz/#!UlQmwQqK!MqaSbK80kFFcIlV6Z462wsAdlcoJu9r4GYXMbf644qQMy video on furnace XP from 5 months previous: youtube.com/watch?v=TD0OwtrWSrUxisumavoid's challenge vid: youtube.com/watch?v=gx35_cUYMewilmango attempt: youtube.com/watch?v=J9UED0kXH0QComparison of many zerotick farms: youtube.com/watch?v=1b0-j-0ydCw
Simple 1.14.3 Iron Farm (No Redstone). Works in 1.14.4 with small changes shown by Docm77 Techman88 2019-06-30 | Featured by Docm77, and he has a fix for 1.14.4 pre3 & tutorial: youtube.com/watch?v=POTL0MiYqDc IMPORTANT: The trap door he added under the villagers seems to cause them to die, so leave it out (credit to knockoutpanda for finding out WHAT was the problem. My theory is the villagers will sometimes get their heads in water while sleeping, and the waterlogged trapdoor would block their vision to the zombie so they'd stay asleep while they drown). Here is his fix applied to this farm, just replace the slab in front of villagers with a top trapdoor (to let them pathfind to workstations) and lower the back composter by 1 block imgur.com/a/jxwia9AImportant note! In Doc's video he had a trap door below the villagers, but I've been told this can cause the villagers to die. My guess is it blocks the villager's vision and they can't be woken up by the zombie, and can drown in the water when they slip off the bed. So perhaps the villagers eye position is not on top of the bed but at the bottom of the bed where the trapdoor can block it? I've tested this for many hours without the trapdoor and not had a problem.Featured by dudieboy: youtube.com/watch?v=x1NqwOZ-za8Featured in Conterstine Skyblock youtube.com/watch?v=y6dgee4d7Jg (Spanish, but he shows how to make it) .

Instead of water streams to push the golems, it conveniently uses the same zombie to attract golems off the platform. Collection area would be somewhere below.If you build more than 1, make sure to space out villager groups at least 11 blocks to be safe, though I would actually space them 16 blocks so golem spawning doesn't interfere with adjacent villagers. I am unsure of the exact mechanics of iron golem spawning (size of bounding box/radius checked for existing golems, etc), however in this farm where the villager clusters are 14 blocks apart, they did not seem to interfere.World DLmega.nz/#!p8ozTQBI!bJWQ841ZNkW_d1rx6PZQUuwwPufXGS_M9bw-NGqNJmsWith 1.14.4 pre3 fixes based on docm's video:mega.nz/#!45AEwACb!hieL2WB0pn6uG8aBEa2Hxk1GezX3YIqJJJslausJEG0

Quartz Quarry / variable timer TNT duper flying machine (tested Minecraft 1.13.2) Techman88 2019-06-01 | A machine to clear large areas of netherrack and leave the quartz exposed to be mined by the player, in such a way to be mined easily. Explodes about 63 blocks in the y direction with the "time reverse" version. Excavates a parabolic shape using TNT launched with variable timings, a bit like a tunnel bore. Uses a variable analog timer.Made in 1.13.2 using optifine. Works in 1.14.2 as well, but since netherrack drops 100% of items in that version, the item entity lag can be very significant (getting over 1000 entities in 1.14.2 vs ~300 in 1.13.2). 1.12 works with some modifications, see below for details.Downloads:"Time reverse" version, shown at end, better for lava removal: mega.nz/#!hwRgCYiZ!PXVLTWjH8MHNOddvkVbKaozQ2j_6uspMxu8uf7YSL8QFirst version: mega.nz/#!JtJCgAoJ!_BYD2rS9W6ks4aukr4cNE7R1DDC61QYl34lo4x-D3NgSwiss cheese simple version: mega.nz/#!ZsQ02SKA!s0_pOH5PdFV1Bw490TYEn02gh_48MGD__Z_aZ842ZQg1.12 version. NOTE: this isn't working right on carpet mod, at least version 19_05_02, but is working in single player. Occasionally the TNT won't launch or the TNT will dupe randomly(in that carpet version):mega.nz/#!x8wijSKI!IAempmvpoSH-EyNorzmwIka59qXKqNyEpZgfrN6kJLcMore technical notes:TNT duper gave a 100% consistent y velocity, so a quick launch was not an issue. Y position 1 tick after dupe was always 0.1600000038743 blocks above initial position. Lands on trapdoor 12 gameticks after launch, so 68 game ticks of TNT fuse to work with after landing on trapdoor.Analog timer uses 14 or 15 different delays, multiplied by 4 gameticks, so 0..60 gameticks is roughly the range.Analog timer could be improved but I got tired of working on it. Got something started at least, uses an adder instead of subtractor. imgur.com/a/7bbnPE4Might be possible to integrate a tunnel bore in front, and a variable timing flying machine. But I don't think this is worth the effort, especially since flying machines don't seem to get the granularity required to make a nice parabolic shape.Command to remove TNT before exploding: /execute as @e[type=tnt,nbt={Fuse:1s}] run kill @s
SPRUCE DEUCE: Easier 2x2 spruce tree farm. 26,500 logs/hr, unique TNT concept, single chunk. 1.13 Techman88 2019-05-16 | NOTE BEFORE BUILDING: this is dependent on orientation like all 2x2 spruce farms (a 5x5 area is checked on the northwest sapling, for non-(wood/dirt/air) blocks).

Load up 1.7.2, start a new creative world with your seed, with AMPLIFIED setting, & creative mode.2. Teleport to mesa biome you might wanna use ( chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder can help with finding). Don't do this in regions you've already worked in, unless you are fine with deleting everything there.3. If you wish to use the area, explore the area to fully generate the chunks.

Select and copy recently modified ones EXCEPT spawn chunks. (shown at 2:49) Spawn chunks will usually be r.0.0.mca, r.-1.0.mca, r.0.-1.mca, r.-1.-1.mca, DON'T select them.OPTIONAL: 6. Start a new creative world in 1.13 with your seed, but not AMPLIFIED, to later use to inspect transition between version 1.7.2 and 1.13 terrain.7. Save and close in 1.13 if you haven't.8. Go to 1.13 save folder (e.g. minecraft1.13\saves\your_world_name\region). Paste the regions you selected earlier. If it asks to overwrite, be cautious. XXXX9.

Faster server performance Zero-tick cactus farm, ultra reliable design, and analysis Techman88 2019-02-18 | Turns out the pistons & item entities are the main cause of lag, so I made a new design with that in mind, maximizing cactus per piston, and eliminating item pushers. The rates are lower for the size, but if you're worried about server performance, this new one is better.My new farm gets about 900 cactus per CPU*second (11000 cactus/hr)My older designs were around 600 cactus per CPU*second (25000 cactus/hr)Ilmango's is about 380 cactus*CPU second (16000 cactus/hr with design shown)My ultra reliable design (unload safe) is 300 cactus*CPU second (16000 cactus/hr)(Tested on carpet 1.13.1 on a 3.4 ghz CPU)Ilmango's design has a clever item pusher, but it also causes a 15% loss (as I think they mentioned). I think that could be fixed by doing the zero ticks every 3 game ticks, rather than every 2, however I doubt this would be feasible.My 3x3 designs are 1.5 cactus/piston. Ilmango's as shown is 1.8 cactus/piston. My new one is 2.67 cactus/piston... it lose 25% of the items by falling on cactus, but it triggers 78% more growth per piston (main cause of lag), which results in a 33% speed improvement for the server.Thanks to ilmango, methodzz, shildifreak, xcom6000, nessie, grimli (for choosing my design) and all others who have contributed.World downloadmega.nz/#!YowwCCYB!V8EKrq5f_nnQL4HqWyBb8IMqAGV7VV7YI2_ZN3vdOWI
Skyblock-friendly zero tick cactus farm. No observers/comparators. (Minecraft 1.13.1) Techman88 2019-02-11 | I was asked to do this, so here it is. A budded piston is used in place of the observer reading the leaf block, and some slimestone and repeaters are used in place of observers for the item pushers.

Pistons are used to push the items over to the side, synchronized off the main zerotick "grower" pistons. 4 out of 6 game ticks are used to grow the cactus, 2 out of 6 are used for the piston pushing the items over. Uses budded pistons to produce many zerotick pulses in a compact area.This is fairly laggy on the client side (too much cactus particles), but server side it creates very little. Approx 3 mspt on single player, 5 mspt on a server in 1.13.1 for the 9 cactus design shown.I think the best design is a compromise between rate/volume, rate/MSPT, and build complexity.

Zero tick cactus farm idea (Minecraft 1.13.1 vanilla/carpet) Techman88 2019-02-04 | Since these farms are in fast development, I wanted to show an idea. My main goal was to make it 100% reliable, so it can be saved and reloaded, therefore used on demand without worry. End rods/rails caused issues if things got out of sync (they break the cactus if retracted, not zero ticked), or if the game was saved and reloaded. Normal pistons avoid the issue if they are always zero tick pulsed.This should produce about 14000 cactus/hr using 6 cacti and hopper minecarts as shown, or 10000 without hopper minecarts. It is probably laggier than the ilmango/methodzz designs, around 3 MSPT for this setup.

Semi automatic wither killing machine (12 at once) (Minecraft 1.13.1) Techman88 2019-01-12 | Correction: in my survival world, for some reason the withers would shoot blue skulls which would blow up immediately, but could damage structures about 3-4 blocks away..

Improvement to my Wither Skeleton Farm (20% faster) - instead of cobble walls, use glass+slabs Techman88 2019-01-05 | Instead of cobble walls, use glass with a half slab on top. This will prevent medium magma cubes from spawning, improving rates up to about 50 wither skeletons/minute (2.75 skulls/minute). Thanks to Mushushu for pointing this out.With multiple iron golems, this should max out at about 55 wither skeletons/min (3 wither skulls/min) with optimal conditions. The mob cap is taken up by blazes, skeletons, and some pigmen, and there's no way around it with this type of passive farm.Also some pathfinding quirks, possible improvement to collection area, and my survival farm.
Easy, Humane Wither Skeleton Farm. NO slabbing, NO slimestone! Minecraft 1.13.1 Techman88 2018-12-27 | ▼▼▼▼▼ Please read description! ▼▼▼▼▼CORRECTION:♣ Instead of cobble walls, use glass blocks with a half slab on top, see image: https://i.imgur.com/zKijtuV.jpg . This will improve rates up to 20% by preventing medium magma cubes, but not block line of sight between wither skeletons and iron golem, or interfere with spawn rates. Sorry for the error. (Thanks Mushushu for pointing this out)Up to 42 wither skeletons/minute, or 2.31 wither skulls/minute with looting 3. My location was around 25 wither skeletons/minute with NO slabbing. Choosing your location is ESSENTIAL. Test the EXACT location in creative before building in survival! Write down coordinates of problem spawn areas to slab as well. The spawn fail rate (carpet mod feature) is around 30% with perfect slabbing, so this is nearly optimal. Uses the same techniques as my slime farm, but better height precision was required for wither skeletons.World downloadmega.nz/#!xxoHiajK!yeNmMr457xS3z7LMONNh6ayBOq1PnFaGMOfH68ZTfYwStuff I forgot to say:♣ When building a path to the farm, be careful not to create spawnable spaces. Suggestion is to build it low, or build an ice path (normal ice, not packed), or use the nether ceiling.♣ Should work in multiplayer, but you need to coordinate between players. Either be alone on server, or have a friend stand on the overworld side of the farm to prevent despawning.♣ Verify the view distance is 12 or above. This farm may NOT work otherwise.♣ Can lower ground with TNT instead of slabbing, to get it out of spawn radius. MORE FUN!♣ 1.12 compatibility: no sea pickle for golem to stand on, but other height may be possible. No turtle eggs for pigmen. In theory should work with some changes: iron golem stands on boat, 7 snow layers surrounding golem. OR stands on carpet + boat, path blocks surrounding golem. The "top of grindstone" is likely another height option in 1.14 (thanks rays works).♣ Rays Works entity/block heights video: youtube.com/watch?v=SsUu_WKepc0♣ Gnembon's spawning research for buttons: youtu.be/RD1wT-f3W5A?t=870♣ Ilmango's video showing anvils for pigmen: youtu.be/l9oteFEj770?t=312♣ "Fast Math" in optifine could possibly be an issue due to ray intersection calculations (visibility). Same with large x/z numbers. The ray calculations are VERY precise.♣ I can make an install guide video for carpet mod if people desire.♣ Runs around 40-50 MSPT on my very old processor. About 700 spawning spaces.♣ You CANNOT replace the cobble walls with carpets. That will raise up skeletons just far enough to see the iron golem, potentially shooting a blaze and starting a massive fire fight.♣ It is possible to make this fully AFK, but I doubt it's worth it. You'd want to have a portal on top of the nether (bedrock breaking required), and transport the wither skeletons up to the AFK height. A slime system or rail system would work. I designed one but I didn't think it was worth including.Please leave any questions below.
