Somebody must have tried this before. It's been possible for so long. From the people I talked to nobody knew about it. The redstone torch idea is also really good.

Oooo same, i've build one with redstone torch as well. The rate is pretty good but i'm building that on server with a lot of plugin, so the amount could be different from vanilla

mushrooms irl have the ability of bio-luminescence so i like to think they added the mechanic for realism as they so often like to do.

It means you can see them underground similar to how glow lichen works. I have noticed it before while spelunking, but I never realized that they were actually emitting light.

Doc's actually got a video out about Mumbo's slime farm. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm guessing he had the same idea as you already.

Now minecraft is in such a state that you can't look at things differently

Mapart makers see a very specific shade of grey (from the stems).

To be fair, this style was picked up quite quickly after the 1.18 update by a few people in the tech minecraft community, and a few people (like Ianxofour) were doing things with swamp slime even before then, it's just taken a bit of time to filter to a wider audience. (Not meant as a diss at mango, who does a huge amount for the tech minecraft community, butjust want to hilight some of the other amazing work that sometimes doesn't get as much attention.)

@@rewindoflow ye, scicraft is kinda the GOAT for technical mc but yea, this definitely credit should be given to those creators because that is interesting (or we can go back to talking about the peaceful challenge slimefarm :D )

@@rewindoflow yup, came here to say that. i built one of these swamp slime farms with mushrooms maybe a month after 1.18 came out. kinda weird that videos are only being made about it now.

It's also because people are caring less and less about getting 30k items in an hour instead of 10 or 15k. Uber efficiency is going out of style. A lot more of these types of things will be popping up

This kind of happened with the use of neural networks.

Everyone was laughing at it but he was on the right track

Thanks

and how garbage it was D:

The fact that Doc is going to build this farm on Hermitcraft is also very hilarious if he calls over Mumbo for the video.

ikr doc loaded it in for 100h+ and no slimes died in it

Even tho he has the perfect conditions for a slime chunk based slime farm XD

@@PopeMical Not to mention he'll probably be making it in the same swamp biome mumbo made his in

That one is in game for so long that I don't think it will change. There's higher chance they will change the slime light limit to 0 as with other hostile mobs.

Looking forward to seeing this design on hermitcraft. I am also curious to see how you go about the lighting, since if I recall you do not have that many brown mushrooms.

@@jeagle9493 you can farm brown mushrooms pretty quickly with bone meal and a spot of skylight darkness to plant the mushroom

i wanted to enjoy minecraft i played like 40 hours of it or more and i enjoyed a lot about it but its so flawed and frustrating after you beat it, any tips? do i have to like building farms and all this villager stuff to enjoy it because that is really making me not play the game anymore

@@henkdachief no. Most people make farms to build other things. I personally enjoy collecting mobs and building large structures. Its all about finding something you enjoy doing in minecraft.

Not clickbaity. Clickable

another possibility is making a checkerboard pattern with magma blocks if there's really no way to get brown mushrooms for some reason. They light up the surrounding blocks to 1 and even kill the slimes. Use minecart collection below to collect items

@@ilmango that would clear mobcap faster wouldn't it? So why isn't this design with magma blocks preferred over mushrooms?

@@voidshard4053 I think checkering the spawn platform with magma would sacrifice too much spawn efficiency for the faster killing time to be worth it. Don’t quote me on that, though.

@@voidshard4053 people want the simplest possible design. you'd need twice the spawning spaces for the same items plus item collection is way more effort. I even mentioned such a checkerboard design in the video. wither roses are even better, because they kill the slimes quicker.

@@voidshard4053 It’s @ 17:13. Also it seems like if you would just make a small version in that tutorial, the mob cap wouldn’t even be filled at all times, so it wouldn’t really matter.

spawnproofing is the worst

Especially because digging a perimeter is easiest with slime, which is hard to obtain in large quantities without the farm

Knowing the right chunk apps is easy digging the thing down to bedrock and making all the surrounding cave lit is a whole other annoyance, especially with caves and cliffs. Gah my seed is the worst for that. Found a three pack right next to where I based and that was completely random. But my seed has so freaking many abandoned mineshafts and large caves under it I really cant get to every nook and cranny.

yea, I'm on a server where (by design) we don't have the seed for applications like that, to prevent people easily finding certain stuff by remaking the world in singleplayer and using commands , or dumping it in some website that can give those things. So determining where slime chunks are is tedious trial and error. This solved that nicely.

To find slime chunks. I dig an 8x4x320 along the chunk border. At 32. this exposes 20 chunks and then run up and down it until I see one spawn/ afk at each end and the middle. Then I dig a 16 out from each corner of the slime chunk and light any cave or mines. Then I drop shafts from surface to bed rock just outside the slime chunk and light those caves and mines, filling water caves from the top or using sponges if I have them. Tnt, honey blocks and slime blocks all work fast Finally, use the shafts to stack 3 high floors vertically. 7 is usually enough. But I'm liking these new surface farms you afk above. Lot less work.

subtle???

xD

Lol

I was sad how far I had to scroll before I found the first of these comments

not really exciting I think. It's mostly at matter of how slow can you make the clock before you start loosing too many items. But I might make a video about it

I thought it was cool on the graph for the sugar cane rates compared to how often you harvest that there were 2 separate high points corresponding to each stage the sugar cane grows. On a kelp farm, which gets much higher than 3 blocks, it would be interesting to see all those high graphed next to each other, and to see if they would be consistently spaced apart or not. Also, I assume that they would get slightly lower and lower over time, since the second sugar cane bump was slightly lower than the first, so I wonder at what point it would be so low it's not even worth improving the lag-efficiency of the farm. Also, kelp can randomly stop growing taller as early as being 2 blocks tall, and I wonder how much that would effect the rates on the graph.

@@gavin5410 you don't loose any growth stages with kelp. it either grows or not when random ticked. so the more frequently you harvest the better in all cases

Do the slabs for the top let light through on Bedrock?

@@dstaron3162 for me they did so instead of using torches I just used a layer of blocks and then bottom slabs so it was spawn proof but wouldn't let light through. Microsoft really need to fix the lighting bug in bedrock lol

goat for this comment

Nice to know

lol my minecraft farm is copyrighted and my IP lawyer will come after you

@@vinesthemonkey It's perfectly legal to do that but it's morally wrong. And if it wasn't a very specific and niche thing there would be a way to protect yourself from this kind of theft.

Mumbo should watch this video and upgrade his farm now XD

Doc was talking on Twitter about this earlier, and said "The mustached one was onto something. It just needed some Hivemind added. New meta." I wouldn't be surprised if Mumbo attempting a swamp-based slime farm got the cogs turning and the discovery of this.

As other people in the comments have said, it wasn't working probably because it was built above y69, and slimes couldn't possibly spawn in that farm.

@@limonlx7182 lmao he literally got spawns on the test run to prove it works

@@camerongrondzki2716 because he built it at the right height in a test world maybe..?

I mean there's alternatives to mushrooms, but I'm afraid not adjusting the light level for slime was an oversight. Better not tell them

I doubt they change it, there is no reason to change this tbh. The other one was changed because lighting caves was harder and players wanted to prevent creepers easier.

@@ilmango it probably was an oversight, though I hope they decide to keep it. It's nice to change up the "meta" of farms once in a while, I think

2 years is generous, I was wondering if they might patch it out in 1.19 proper.

This farm is not overpowered in any way, so I doubt they will change it, like they are planning to do with pigmen farms.

Mushrooms are really easy to farm anyway. Just need a piece of podzol / mycelium, an efficiency axe, and a lot of bonemeal.

Yea no.

Truly the greatest cinematic crossover in history

I love this :D Flex your funky knowledge

@@sepiasmith5065 thank you :)

The folk name in English for boletus edulis was traditionally penny bun mushroom but now they are more often called ceps or porcini, which is obviously the Italian name. There isn't a strong culture of collecting fungi in the UK so most English people would only know the names of one or two fungi and the folk names have largely died out in popular culture. We are brought up with the idea that fungi are poisonous but in fact very few UK fungi are really dangerous although a small number are extremely poisonous - amanita phalloides being the most dangerous.

I've always thought the red mushroom was a fly agaric

@@crosscutcobra Amanita muscaria is apparently commonly known as the fly agaric in english, i couldnt find that information easily tough so i just went with the scientific name ;-)

yeah very important info there I actually built mine one block too high the first time. It was frustrating till I figured that out lol

Any ideas as to why it keeps dieing when there is no missing mushrooms. Ive trouble shooted for awhile but he just seems to dissapear after 30min of afk. Nothing kills it just straight up despawns.

@@dailycringe8219 i'm not entirely sure - if you can come some time before the 30 mins and see any cracks on the golem (implying it has taken damage) then it's most likely somewhere is allowing outside mobs in. if not, and it simply disappears from full health, the best solution i can imagine would be to name tag the golem, though that may not work since something appears to have been modified.

@@dailycringe8219 If you're certain the golem is despawning, there are non-vanilla mechanics in play. More likely, the golem is simply not rendering or is being killed. But if it really is despawning, the client or server is modified.

@@dailycringe8219 As others have said. If you want to troubleshoot the issue you need to be really particular about trying to find out the exact reason the iron golem is disappearing. In vanilla an iron golem will not despawn naturally. So if you aren't using a mod that makes them despawn then the only other option is the iron golem is being killed by something. Double check that there isn't a single mushroom missing. A single mushroom missing allows a skeleton to spawn in and kill the golem. Double check the ceiling is only 2.5 blocks tall, not 3. Because if it's 3 high then endermen can teleport in and pick up the mushrooms, which allows the skeleton in. If the enderman is really sneaky it can even put the mushroom back to hide the evidence of the crime. Ultimately troubleshooting is difficult to do. It's probably a small mistake on your end that seems minor enough that you don't see the difference between what you're supposed to have vs what you actually have. Unfortunately it's hard to get remote help with; because you'll say that you did everything right, but we'll know that something has to be wrong or you wouldn't be having this problem.

Can it be below y 69?

sure

cant u bonemeal them though

Try ianxofours slime farm

@@hispace2958 nah i'll use a brown mushroom swamp based one, but as simple as they are now, i can design my own

Created it incorrectly. At least he can finally have something he kinda created.

That actually only matters while the slimes are in contact with the water source blocks in the corners, as flowing non-source water does not form bubble columns and thus won't force contact with the magma blocks.

@@TheRealWormbo Bubble columns? The magma blocks are for making them take damage. Personally, I sisn't have easy access to powdered snow, so I used just 5 blocks in a checkerboard pattern, and that worked just as well.

I am speed

The problem with running faster than light is that you always live in darkness

This would also make it so you only need 1 powder snow right?

@@oblivion_2852 yeah I think one layer would cover a medium slime I didn't think of that

I think the slimes could reach the golem and eventually kill it.

Based on my quick research its MiniHUD mod.

You could do it with a ceiling of any light source, just place it further away so the light is still a contant 1 on the floor. Just put a ceiling of glass to stop the slimes jumping if needs be.

Yes but then endermen might teleport and steal mushrooms... oh i see, that way there would be no mushroom... i believe it could, try it out and tell us

@@themonsieurmonsieur7629 endermen can pick up mushrooms?

@@Akhimed yes

Slime chunk spawning only happens below y 40, while swamp spawning only happens above y 50. If you can fill the mob cap with the swamp farm already there would be no point in building anything in the slime chunk.

The levels that slimes spawn in a swamp and as part of a slime chunk are mutually exclusive (50-69 vs 0-39), so there would be no benefit for building a swamp-based farm in a slime chunk over any other chunk in the swamp.

Mushrooms will spread themselves a little if you scatter a few in there, and a manual big mushroom farm can get enough pretty quickly.

I like doc cause he does things that would be on scicraft on hermit craft

thanks bro you just saved me a lot of time

he says it so casually lol

He said glow lichen would work as well, but light level 7 would reduce the rates.

@@ilmango My apologies if I came across as rude, I was just stating a consensus that some of us in the community have had regarding the sort of bubble scicraft has developed over time whether deliberately or not.

There are definitely some not so nice people in tmc and while you may think of me as one of them you may find people disagree with that evaluation although I will admit my first impression was not a good one.

Emdy said nothing wrong. Using brown mushrooms in swamp slime is not *new meta* anymore and claiming so is factually incorrect.
