Minecraft 1.9 Mob Spawning Changes and Perfect Witch Farms @gnembon

gnembon | Minecraft 1.9 Mob Spawning Changes and Perfect Witch Farms @gnembon | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 4 hours ago
In this video I explain how natural mob spawning have changed in 1.9, and its effects on all sorts of farms based on natural mob spawning. I also explain the implications of entity collisions bug, that I found, and how it can be used to create a perfect witch farm. In a perfect witch farm all the spawn attempts that happend in it have 100% chance of success. I am also explaining how to design such a farm, showing as an example, a skeleton farm, which while not the fastest, is actually still optimal (especially for a single witch farm settings where there is no need to worry about the mob cap).

Moddeda aspects of the game (in MCP 9.18 (MC1.8.8) and MCP 9.24(MC1.9.0), used when appropriate):
- chilled monsters (demonstration purposes only)
- cranked up spawning (2000 ticks per second)
- carpet mod (mob spawn debug information)
- collision bug fix for 1.9 ! (hint)

Portal-based Gunpowder and Ghast Tears Farm for Minecraft 1.16.4+ [Fun Farms 37]

$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.
