Drakkarts redstone lab – Minecraft: witch farm tutorial, cheap and simple shifting floor design

Hello peeps this is chocolate welcome back to another tutorial again like usual if you are bored and want to dive right in it you press the menu button above there for all the others here is the little story evolving around our today’s topic a shifting floor which

Farm design little story here like I had to switch from in my let’s play well why I just built like yeah such spawning pads and then water sweets around it which then will like chef which is alongside and elevate him up and drop them down and whatever and were not the

Thing is if you all right if you do it that way get your mentioned that which is more don’t wander off for quite a long time yeah well that was a quick one no let’s try to some anyway um another quick one anyway he mentioned like the

Only real solution for a witch farm could be shifting floor design because yeah he’s right about that that if a porn it would instantly like get harvested by the shifting floors in serie which don’t spawn when they are already which is present in the area so the shifting floor design might have

Advantages then he went like yeah I found it tutorial and I went like alright cool the taller so show me oh man that guy yeah I mean it’s an awesome tutorial right great tutorial but it’s not suited for survival multiplayer and the next thing Gekko came up with was

Like a man do you have redstone like I need tons of redstone blocks because like yeah it requires a redstone block on each side of every row on the shifting floor design that’s why I like figured I should do a a charm design here SMP ready right so that’s how we roll you

Alright so first part where do which a spawn which are spawning which shots to be more precise which is born in a blog a witch hut occupies and this block is a 7 by nine by what why is it 7 x 9 x 6 block right you will have to like make

That with sean go away instead replace it with your spawning pets witches are too high so you’ll pick the first two blocks which is the ceiling and the first wall block yes spawning ground for the upper layer and then you’ll like place the second layer below simplest an

So welcome back next part how to make them spoon in the cube around the rituals basically you make them spawn in there taking away spawning space for all the other mobs and you do that by setting up a so-called perimeter what is a perimeter you need to understand that

Mobs spawn around players they have a minimal distance where they can’t spawned around the player so twenty four blocks around you they can’t spawn any mobs so you need to be away at least twenty four blocks to make mobs spawn in front of you that does not count for

Spawn us so that’s a different issue the more you are away the more likely it is that the mob will despawn and at 128 blocks away from you the mob will despawn instantly a perimeter basically is a defined position where a player has to be and then you set up the

Surrounding area in a way that mob sconce born anywhere except where you want them to and that is the which shots in this case we have two of them here that’s why I’m showing you this we didn’t do much work on the um below surface casing I don’t know how

Much work they called us because it’s it’s double which form but yeah that’s why we are also in the air so all the way down there we have already as a bonus so we don’t have to light up all the caves down to bedrock to make them

Spawn here so what we did is like we defined this position as the player will be standing here and then we do like this perimeter sing here 128 blocks in every direction I for myself to make sure they will not pick 128 blocks I pic 8 chunks in every direction without t1

Counted where players standing in you have one central chunk that is where you’re standing position will be and then in every direction you have 88 adjacent chunks where you will make sure nothing can spawn I prefer this method over just blindly counting 128 blocks because mobs spawn chunk wise so every

Chunk has the option of spawning a mob and like if you could light up half of a chunk then mobs could still spawn in the other half of the trunk I prefer to like sink in chunks rather than sinking in yeah just 128 blocks there are only 80

Hostile mobs allowed yeah we make sure those 80 hostile mobs spawn in those patate blocks sings right this is how parameters are built hello peeps finally coming to the building part so first a list of stuff you’ll need you’ll need for sticky pistons 28 piston 36 trip wire works 126 string 12 repeaters

Forward stone torches and 162 our slips of some sort um bunch of redstone about a stack and lots of building material you should like start off with those two platforms as described in the where witches porn part right this is where the Richard basically was next you set up the normal

Pistons in a row like that on the shorter side on both floors and on the other side you leave one space gap it doesn’t matter which side just pick one just make sure you pick the shorter side of the wedge shot because otherwise you would need more Pistons less trip for

Your hooks and string Pistons are the more expensive stuff so I place those on the shoulder sides and trip wire hooks and string are easily to come by so i put those on the longer side you just place them in head height and same for the lower floor so to understand the

Next part we maybe should talk about little divot stone components here that is very easy this time because that’s just a clock yeah 66 delay total it’s a self activating clock so the moment it gets unpowered the clock will start those are just pulse limiters which are basically just fuel the distance let’s

Say something spawned on those pets or the trip wires activate here and this torch will go off like that and the same starts now you see ya basically the right side dusty in one direct direction and the left side side dusty push the whole thing back yeah basically that’s

What a torch does what what is construction singing us here you remember that the flow on one side the pistons were directly at the platform and on the other side there was this gap decide where the torch powers the redstone directly that’s the side where he pistons are directly attached to the

Pad and decide behind the clock on the other side where the block powers the redstone that’s aside where the Pistons have one space gap between them and platform so basically what we do here we like redstone all across the trip wires here there’s a torch there so the moment

Anywhere something spawns those three players will activate this torch will go off this whetstone will go off so this torch will go on starting the cycle of the clock and basically again you have here the pulse limiters directly powering the blocks next to the pistons and this way s described pushing

Force pushing back just make sure you have like T delays set up correctly that’s three tix here and sweet it’s there because pistons need one and a half tick to push out or is it two tix mean one I don’t care anyway it needs some time so you a contract to single

Pulse ticks that’s why we also use again a piston to make the pulse limiter because if that person is able to shop that block up and pass the signal through those Pistons should be able to tufted row over as well because it’s actually the same type um also I use two

Repeaters here to stabilize that which reduces a lot the effect of these blocks hanging midair it happens now and then but that’s no biggie basically the system self repairs okay last but not least you need to make a dark inside so you cover everything up with blocks and

Now let me show you what happens if you turn on that beast we need to go down there twenty four blocks deep right so stuff can spawn up there then let’s make it day outside and then just turn difficulty to peaceful easy so stuff spawns and as you can see of the

Flickering actually there is stuff spawning already and and okay we don’t get riches here because there was no witch hut but um as you can see oh by the way I made it 3 by 3 because um in my SMP world where the design actually

Comes from Oh God squids so in my eyes MP world where the design comes from I also get slimes so those need three big holes to fit through what you do here is up to you like you look what what you get in your which form and depending on

What you get you basically decide how you want to handle it I pretty much thought I would just get witches but that is not exactly the case I mean I get ninety percent which is by the occasional spider slime zombie and skeleton is within the mix as well I

Don’t care because i’ll do a pic sorting system anyway so i can like sort that out okay so this concludes this tutorial thanks for watching check out my stuff and see you next time bye you
