Minecraft 1.12: Simplest Blaze Farms (Fun Farms Ep. 9) @gnembon

Uploaded October 2016 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

Time for 9th episode of the Fun Farms with redstonless mob farms working on Magic, actually not - based on mobs wandering. Simple modifications allow to use this basic mechanics for 1.11 with default entity cramming.

For even simpler design that doesn't require any digging around the spawner check this 1.15 update video at this timestamp:

$Minecraft - Classic Witch Farm Competition (Fun Farms Ep. 2) Fun Farms Ep. 2 - Witch farms for 1.9. Evaluation of 4 different designs comparing to 1.8 shifting floor. This is second episode in my series - Fun Farms, where I am taking one mob at a time and showing unique farms based around some interesting game mechanics. They might not always be super efficient, or extra fast, but what they should do, is make you think: Wow, thats interesting, thats cool. We took 4 designs of the witch farms that do not rely on any glitches in the game, so they should work in any future versions of minecraft, providing rules dont change that much. We compared them to a generic shifting floor design. NOTE: flush based farm (Xisumas and Jaws), since 15w51b are affected with spiders being able to spawn on retracting pistons that hold the water, when they are triggered by the witch, which clogs the farm until they despawn. They can only be there for a few ticks, until water floods the pison, but this seems to be enough, especially if you perfected the environment Commands used in evaluation: Create a counter: scoreboard objectives add items_collected dummy Increase the counter: scoreboard players add @p items_collected 1 Display a counter (eager (in place) evaluation of the counter): tellraw @a [items collected: ,{score:{name:*, objective: items_collected}}] Give a player book with the counter (notice, the quoted code to retrieve the score indicates lazy evaluation of the expression, rather than eager: give @p written_book 1 0 { title:ic, author:g, pages: [{score:{name:*, objective: items_collected}}]} Resetting and removing of the counter: scoreboard objectives remove items_collected Disclaimer. The area around the hut is not 100% spawn proof. I realized about it when I was preparing world downloads. I wanted to keep the ravine, and it happened, there was a handful of spawning spaces in it, however it shouldnt have any impact on the efficiency of the farms. Only a few mobs can spawn in there, and together with the witches spawning in the hut, it is still far below the hostile mob cap, meaning, they should not influence each other. It would only matter if the mobs outside the hut could fill up the mob cap, preventing witches from spawning. When loading the world downloads, change view distance to 12. Under 12, the mobs spawning is kind of crooked. View distance of 12 gives the usual hostile mob cat in the range of 70s.
