Only Ilmango could make a mob farm look like a damn computer processor

Maybe offset every second row of modules by 1 or 2 blocks such that neighboring modules can get creepers from the corner of another module. Because creepers can then also spawn on the corner blocks with the same amount of modules, the amount of spawning spaces increased by 14% without increasing the amount of entities, meaning more of the mobcap can be utilized, and more boats will be double filled killing creepers faster, increasing the rates of this kind of farm.

I literally just finished a 5000/h gunpowder farm today and was so proud 😭

i will make this

That's one of the farms concepts that I liked the most. I loved that you've expanded the idea in a new video. Also the point that you've made that portal farm is pretty much boring at this point feels so true.

Since the mob cap is completely filled, wouldn’t you want to prioritise lowering the size of the farm until it barely rides the edge of mob cap as then the creepers are more likely to double up in the minecarts and die faster via lava? With the farm so large id doubt that the lava would be increasing the rates by very much since the mobs would be statistically more spread out.

been waiting for this. as great as always, mango.😁

I think reducing the number of spawning spaces per boat will increase the spawn rates, because there are fewer mobs standing around not being picked up

I cannot get over this guy’s intro. I love it.

The uploads lately have been INSANE, keep it up and we will keep on clicking!

I had a feeling watching the latest skyblock episode that @ilmango would go down this rabbit hole. It did not disappoint, this series is always entertaining to watch 😎

Nice vid, always happy to see you post 😃

After the last video, been looking everywhere for more info!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

a farm based on long rows instead of square modules could be much more compact e.g. if each row is 3-wide, having a minecart track in the middle, we get a spawning space density of 2/3. farm currently is 3/8 i think to make this work, we could dispense minecarts and boats at one side of the farm, then break and recollect them at the other. don't know if there are already designs to automatically place and collect boats in minecarts

I watched your skyblock video about this farm concept and today I made one myself because I couldn't find any tutorials and now you made a video of a better one. unfortunate timing :)

this is crazy! first time seeing this type of creeper farm. :)

nice, i was just looking for a creeper farm tutorial and here comes a pro one

Surely you could have an extra block gap between each minecart and boat, and have trapdoors as a barrier between the blocks to make sure creepers don’t move to the middle of the two blocks?

Meanwhile, there's me that gets 10 gunpowder per hour from fighting creepers outside at night.

Since the spawning sphere is not yet full with modules, you can add more modules but reduce their spawn area each so that the killing chambers would have less creepers waiting in line and kills would be much speaded up with the additional modules

I'm not a technical player, so for me watching your videos is like watching a magic show. Keep it up magic man

insane, love this genius man

I believe that picking the creepers up, sending them through lava and having them die all systematically at a timed spot might allow for more spawning spaces and definitely for higher killing times. I am thinking about the gold farm you did on Sci Craft recently, but a totally different design ofc.

"Next and final step: Let's make it 4x larger" lol Never change, Mango

It would be interesting to analyze how lag affects the real-time rates of farms. Like if you make a farm too big and it starts to lag, that eats in to the real-time rates of the farm, but does it decrease the rates so much that scaling up isn't worth it? For example, if you double the size of the farm, and get double the items per in-game hour, but the game runs 30% slower than real-time, you'd still be getting 40% more items per real-time hour than the original farm. A graph of items per real-time hour vs farm size for a typical farm would be really interesting.

I wonder if the hoppers hit a limit when modules are stacked so tightly.

Building a few hours to collect enough gunpowder for the rest of my life in about ten minutes. Sounds like IlMango indeed.

Once again, the look of this farm is really cool and dystopian

Hallo! It's a very cool creeper farm. Keep it upp ilmango

peak ilmango, absolute madlad !

Ive already started to use this concept in my etho ludicrous challenge world.

On the lag front your specs in the F3 screen look fine I would just recommend allocating more ram. You have it set to 2 Gb I usually run at least 4, just leave plenty for windows.

"My friend killed my dog. Now it's no mercy!!"-type farm

this is the first ilmango video ive ever watched

As far as I know the funace only emitted light in the front when it was added to mc, but mojang then removed it because it was buggy

I wonder what other mob farms could benefit from a minecart-based design. I'm currently looking into coming up with a single-dimension guardian farm where minecarts pick up the guardians. curiously, if you drop a minecart with a guardian onto e.g. mud with a rail below, the guardian *sometimes* (at certain drop heights) actually takes fall damage right before the minecart snaps to the rail, which normally would prevent the damage. It should be relatively easy to make a passive killing farm this way. The tricky part will be trying to funnel a bunch of minecarts towards a central killing chamber for looting and XP. Similarly, I'm looking into upgrading a double witch farm with entity cramming to a looting design, where witches are brought to the player via a "minecart chainsaw", like in ilmango's gold farm. That way they can make that over 100 block travel without taking up any mobcap. In both cases I'm just a bit worried about the amount of minecarts needed and the lag they might add.

I look forward to how SciCraft will max out copper farming.

Best KZfaqr out there imo

Not sure if it would be able to keep up since it would only be able to pick up 1 creeper at a time but if you used a chest boat you could make the creepers always go into the lava.

I’ve never been this early to a mango vid but I’ve been looking forward to this one

the cauldron glowing makes sense, there is lava inside heating up the metal casuing it to glow

Hey Ilmango. i cant believe youtube didn't put this video in my feed, i actually havent seen any vids from you in my feed for month! so here's a comment to appease the algorithm.

Ilmango, I think you could overcome the Methodz's type farm issue of static boat not picking the second creeper by putting multiple boat-in-the-minecart in the same spot. You could stack minecarts in one block over the rails. Maybe two or three should suffice. Actually, you may kill creepers by entity cramming that way, however I can see the issue with amounts of entities with this approach.

A different tiling pattern can take the squares from 4/25=16% empty down to 3/24=12.5% empty. I don't know if spider spawning is still prevented though.

thank you now im ready for the musket update

This looks cool

perfect timing! just last night i built a gunpowder farm...

I just thought of a solution to the furnace/cauldron problem. If they were opaque blocks, you could instantly solve the problem by just making it so that they turn an adjacent air block in the correct direction into a light source. That way if the appropriate direction is covered up or they're part of a wall, they won't shine light in the "wrong" direction.

Mayba a bamboo raft would be better in this Farm? Since entities sit slight o higher on rafts, maybe this would be enough for the top of the hitbox to reach the block above the one where they are suffocating, and then you could cover the entire farm in lava without it increasing the light level inside the farm

Awesome man, thanks

we need a coloboration with Mumbo Jumbo

How would building it on top of the bedrock in the overworld (rather than right at Y=0) affect the drop rates?

This farm is pretty, it looks like i could play creeper sweeper lol

This reminds me of Fallen_Breath's new wither skeleton farm, timing all the rails to pick up mobs and then dumping them to a collection system to the killing chamber (they're softened with TNT!). Too bad you can't jackolantern a creeper!

You could split the big module into two and see if the mob cap keeps been 70 so it get less lagy

WAIT, I might have something we can improve for better density... You could distance the module by one more if you put 2 trapdoors on opposite side Current pattern with 2 modules (as seen from the top ): OOO SOOO OUUU OUUUO OUXU\OUXUO OUUU OUUUO OOO SOOO O= spawning spaces ; U = rails ; \ and / = trapdoors on different sides ; X= redstone block ; S = solid block (I added spaces on trapdoor for ease of readability but no empty block) For better density and reducing the number of minecart-boats you could go with: OOOS SOOO OUUUO/\OUUUO OUXUO/\OUXUO OUUUO/\OUUUO OOOS SOOO That's not quite double the density but quite close to it and it should still catch all mobs. Total we got 12 spawning spaces per modules instead of spreading it with 2 modules making it 6 per modules but the design is 2 blocks larger ( You might be able to get back the 2 solid blocks with some good use of intertwining lines with trapdoors but honestly not quite sure it is worth it... ) (I was trying with 48 modules collected via command block, it seems only 50ish% of the modules are using the lava cauldrons(2 creeper).So, those might have too many creepers meaning they're saturated. But 50%ish means it's mostly fine even with 12 spawning spaces and for farms under the mob cap this would be easier to build and better for frame rate. ) Also, I got just over 16k (test of 5 min x12) per hour so for 650k you would need something like 1950 modules ( assuming linearity so not hitting mob cap but also not benefiting as much from group spawns). Meanwhile in the video you use only 20x20x4=1600 modules so clearly not as good. Could try 9 average spawning spaces instead of 12 by keeping your design on the x axis and my addition on the z axis to minimize lag vs production but honestly don't quite wanna rebuild the whole thing... the boat where hard to place even with commands...) (For anyone willing to try here is the command: /summon minecraft:minecart ~ ~-2 ~ {Passengers:[{id:boat}],Motion:[1.0,0.0,0.0]} And if not using scarpet this can collect the items easily : tp @e[type=item,distance=3..] ~ ~2 ~ ( in a repeat command block ))

The thumbnail looks really good

The AMDs with the 3D vcache *should theoretically* help with mobfarms like this. It should *theoretically* be able to handle more entities. But I haven't done any testing on my 5800X3D yet. Running a server on it but we haven't pushed it to the limit yet.

ah, finally. a Fast farm

I built 100 of these modules (10x10) of this build in my survival world in an ocean biome above the ocean using a minecart hopper collection system instead of using hoppers everywhere. It produces around 1800 gunpowder per hour. This is significantly less (~18/module/hr) than the claimed production rate (~400/module/hr).

Ilmango : one dimension farm Me knowing Minecraft blocks are three dimensional : okay okay

The farm looks like a large amount of sushi, and the green carpet makes that section look like green sushi lol!

ilmango's intro is an absolute bop on 1.5x

Nice, I'm going to try this one

i really wish you picked up some kind of expert modpack like gregtech new horizons with the skyblock challenge and see how you approach specific challenges with your intelligence and knowledge

Looks good! If you use a chest boat instead of a normal boat, does the creeper start burning right away?

This guy always amazes me O_o

Normal players: 1 chunk farm Scicraft members: 1 dimension farm

Decked Out is a masterpiece, Tango's joy at seeing his creation come to life was wonderful! You work with him so well Zed

I was thinking you would make the loops longer. Only have the lava cauldrons at the ends so you can concentrate the item collection. Then put multiple carts on the same track if necessary.

How about transporting creepers to killing chamber like scicraft’s gold farm? Mob cap can be filled up and rate per module must be reduced but it can be less hopper design.

you can ad a portal block to the farm so you can craete an eol but just for creapers

Amazing concept and great for singleplayer, but I'll definitely not build this on a multiplayer server. I already know how much trouble minecarts can cause, especially once more people come online that load in other areas.

wonder if pre-filling the minecart initially with a spider will increase the rate of the farm on a smaller scale with the faster kill time (immediately puts the creeper as the second passenger and into the lava, will probably hit mob cap sooner though, hence smaller scale)

I love how he called it "fast" 😂. Its EXTREMELY fast :D

the intro is fire!!!

Expensive 1 Dimension Creeper Farm

I wonder if you could use 4 or 8 modules at ground level to get enough for firework rockets, If so this might be useful for non-technical players as well. Or also me who has multiple shulkers of gold blocks, but still hasn't made a mob farm in my current world

I’m not convinced about this design as I have some creepers lurking in the outside spawning spaces taking up the mob cap and not being picked up by the boat. I’m also seeing some boats coming to a stop, perhaps when there a multiple spawns around the same boat and a creeper collides with an already full boat?

I think that if you put a hopper minecart at the bottom instead of a regular hopper, it will eat less TPS

if you make the killing pods hexangonal then u wont have the of problem of a corner block anymore

so what i see in the f3 screen is an i9 9900k and a 2080ti with only 2 gb of ram dedicated to minecraft running at 1440p, there are always optimizations that can be done like other fabric mods, or even changing to zulu java instead of bundled java, you should see a good performance increase.... but you do you

Could you put a shawty in seat 1 of each of the boats such that it won't suffocate in the blocks, but will force the passenger creepers to always clip into the lava? First I thought of a silverfish because it's small but that'd full up the hostile cap I guess, so maybe a pig?

6:57 I have four hundred cars I have four hundred scars and four hundred guitars I have four hundred houses I have four hundred mouses and four hundred houses

hey ilmango, question, can you maybe make a creeper farm design that is server friendly? Lets just say that most servers bug out when there is a copious amount of entities spinning about.

das höhrt sich so hart nach deutschem aktzent an bist du deutsch? Ps feier die serie

maybe a lavalogged stair to the side?

nice. I will make a 2x2x2 farm. so 8 modules... need to spawn proof my whole town area first... dont know how. I am strip mining the whole time to cover all up. i was nearly finished then 1.18 released... maybe I make a small tnt world eater to cover a 12x128 area...

I love how they don't do any of these for any practical reason and get way more items then you would be able to in creative. Also what would you do with all this gun powder?

1:10 deutsches englisch ist so ne 10/10. aber ehrlich danke für die geilen farmen

I have a Name Suggestion for it. I would definitly call it the Smoking chess board

Could you eject them into a better killing setup? or would that have too many mobs in the cap?

This design is very human. Bro who needs this much gunpowder per hour? ;-;

Legend

block by block tutorial when?

How do you solve the problem of a minecart stopping?

Maybe reducing entity view distance would clear up some lag?

Would this work in a normal world, albeit with lower output? And how would it compare to other creeper farms

I wonder if it might be faster to just stack multiple boats in minecarts together and kill them with entity cramming? You could even stack a hopper minecart in there to pick up the drops automatically.

As soon as you moved I thought “oh there is a lot of lag!”
