Minecraft Elegance: Instant Wither Skeleton Farm, No Spawn-proofing 135 skulls/hr (Java 1.16-1.20)

IMPORTANT: If your rates are a lot lower than expected (or you see wither skeletons bunching up along a wall near the golem), lower the portal at the spawning platform by 1 Y level (without adjusting anything else). This fixes a sporadic pathfinding issue.
* In 1.18, rates are about 100 skulls/hour. Be sure to remove sources of light from the spawning platform area, such as torches, fires, and lava. In 1.19, rates are restored to original speed.
FORTRESS FARM UPGRADE AND REFERENCE: • Minecraft Elegance: Pe...
Discord: / discord
FAQs:
"Can the rates be improved with wither roses?" No, wither roses cannot be planted on nether bricks, and nether bricks are necessary to let fortress mobs spawn in the bounding box. Also, the farm is spawn rate limited, not mob cap limited, so wither roses wouldn't help regardless.
"No wither skeletons are spawning." A common build error is to forget to subtract 1 Y level at 7:20. Make sure you are standing on nether bricks to figure out the bounding box; fences don't count. Having multiple nether fortresses next to each other can mess up the bounding boxes.
"Why don't the mobs despawn in the overworld?" A player needs to be present in a dimension in order for the game to make a mob despawn in that dimension.
"What are the rates for coal and bones?" About 3850 coal/hr and 6100 bones/hr.

1:40 This fortress is partially located in a basalt deltas biome, but the farm can still be built in a soul sand valley and is more than 100 blocks away.
2:02 Spawn potential video: • Minecraft 1.16: Automa...
4:11 It is much more common to find a good build site in a soul sand valley than it is to find one in a warped forest. To simplify, you can focus on soul sand valleys.
7:35 Put out any nearby fires and clear any nearby lava around the spawning area to keep light levels low. Temporarily place torches along the outer edge of the spawning platform to limit spawns while you build. (Seeing at least a few fortress mobs spawn during construction is a good sign that the platform works.) Fire resistance and/or invisibility potions will also help.
It's OK to carve away terrain to make the spawning area; just keep 3 air blocks over the platform, and 2 air blocks over the turtle eggs. Make sure there's enough room overhead for wither skeletons to pathfind to the portal, too.
12:25 In hard difficulty, zombie piglins can break wooden doors, so use an iron door with a lever instead.
13:30 The cobwebs slow down the wither skeletons and keeps them aligned so that they don't reach the other portal before the cooldown period ends. The bridge can be shortened to ~7 blocks in length so that the farm starts up faster.
17:08 Increase the productivity by 10% by adding 2 wolves near the southern corners of the spawning platform to scare the wither skeletons out of a blind spot that prevents them from seeing the golem because of the portal frame.
18:16 Example AFK area if pillar X coordinate is odd, instead of even.
ADVANCED FORTRESS FINDING TIPS
Once you've entered a soul sand valley, set down a torch and press Shift+F3 to bring up the debug pie chart. Look carefully at the small text under the chart and then press the number on your keyboard corresponding to "tick". In this case the number is 4, but it might be different on your game, so you should double check. Now press the number on your keyboard for "level", and then "entities". (In 1.16, you need to select "tick" again.) The text below the pie chart will show the list of the entities that have been processed by the game since you started the pie chart. You're looking for blazes and wither skeletons to suddenly appear on this list, which tells you that a fortress must be within 128 blocks of your location.
Press F3+G to bring up the chunk borders and scan the biome in an organized fashion, keeping watch of the pie chart list. When you see blaze and wither skeleton show up on the list, set down a marker and travel about 3 chunks away from the torches around you. (Since the torches mark areas that you've already covered, the fortress must be in the direction opposite of them.) Use the trick at 5:45 to get down from the nether roof.
Huge thanks to Harper for brainstorming ideas for this farm and extensively testing during development.

IMPORTANT: Check out the video description for important updates, FAQs, and tips! If your rates are a lot lower than expected (or you see wither skeletons bunching up along a wall near the golem), lower the portal at the spawning platform by 1 Y level (without adjusting anything else). This fixes a sporadic pathfinding issue. PAPER AND SPIGOT servers often disable entities in playerless dimensions, which results in mobs cramming to death and teleporting their drops to the kill chamber. You can work around this issue by having a friend AFK within 128 blocks of the overworld bridge, or you can convert the overworld bridge into a kill chamber.

For those who want better rates (keep in mind that the farm is already running pretty well for it's simplicity, if you want absurd rates you'll have to build another design which immediately clears spawning spaces and takes far longer to build): - Place 4 wolves in the corners like shown to shoo the skeletons into the portal/outside of the despawn sphere - Build a clock of your choice that pushes the player station up every minute or so to clear out blazes from the platform - Building another layer is not worth it because you'll have a hard time building it. If you do, you'll need to place more turtle eggs, one for each side, in the middle of the other 2 to lure pigman out of the despawn sphere, and spawn proof an unreasonably large area given the marginal increase in drops. - Removing the cobwebs in the overworld has no effect on the rates as they simply serve to bunch up the skeletons a bit more before they transport to the chamber. They're not necessary to build either Add-ons to consider: - a simple item sorter + sword disposal to clear the killing chamber to reduce lag on lower end servers/PCs - a furnace array so you can smelt your items with the ungodly amounts of coal provided - if you don't have mending, a Smite III or better enchanted diamond sword kills the skeletons in 2 hits, making it last a little bit longer. Info: The farm does take quite a while to get up to speed due to the cobweb and length of the bridge. It takes around 10 minutes for it to spit wither skeletons out.

@holdommi7505 2 жыл бұрын

the farm videos you make are so well made! sometimes I just go through and watch/listen to them just to learn about the mechanics of the game. I really appreciate how you go into every detail for the construction of the farms to answer any "why are you doing this specifically?" questions, understanding how everything works makes fixing any mistakes I make while building easier to recognize, as well as making it easier for me to make any modifications that I want/need since you're helping me actually understand how the farm works. Thanks for making these farm tutorial videos!

Hello! Just commenting for people finding this later. I built this on a paper server, playing 1.20.4, and it worked perfectly (after trying and failing to build some other wither skeleton farms on the same server, including a knockoff of this tutorial which forgot to mention some key mechanics). Thank you so much! Your designs are always so practical and up to date.

Thank you for this farm, it's like one of the best thing I've ever built in my whole Minecraft plays. I've been vibing a lot in this farm for days cause my partner needs an ungodly amount of coal but also it's just a pleasant farm to hang out in. The building is really challenging but also fun and rewarding. Also the tip to keep your inventory full is just so good and I never really thought of it before. Thank you so much for creating this. I pray for your success in the future.

I love this. I used to think gnembon and LogicalGeekBoy had the best quality farm videos, but I think it’s you now. This is an absolutely amazing farm, props to you for designing it, and the video is packed full of useful information with a quick and easy to follow tutorial. This has inspired me to start designing my own farms. Obviously I’m not going to be designing a wither skeleton skull farm, but I want to design a max efficiency iron farm for my world.

@WanderingWolfe 2 жыл бұрын

I feel like these tend to be more optimal for single player, or small population, worlds compared to folks like Gnembon. Gnembon tends to go all out, but some of his farms are just optimal in general. LGB vs Ian might be more a matter of how much work, and what you want to get. LGB seems to go more toward the, "I can do it day 1," sort of vibe. I gotta say, a good mix of the three works well for me.

For others that build too high: I built my farm within what I thought was the bounding box, but the fortress generated strangely. Moving the farm down to the level in the video helped. When you build the platform, expect to see wither skeletons, magma cubes and blazes on it when leaving and returning the area. I saw skeletons and assumed it worked; but those were just soul valley spawns. I did not need to move down the overworld portals, and I only extended the drop chute down to the new afk floor, it works well enough. Some spawn proofing would help, but this is sufficient. Thanks for the tutorial!

Also helped me consider the implications of the farm and make a few plans in advance (going to build a nether roof pathway from my base to the farm rather than just an exit portal which leads far from home). I can't wait to build it in survival. Thank you for designing it!
