INSANE Guide to Automating Farming Withers in Sky Factory 4

Hello everyone only Draven here again and today we’re doing another tutorial in Minecraft sky factory 4 and today we’re going to be doing probably what’s one of the most commonly requested videos I’ve had and that is how to automate farming withers now I’ve done a tutorial previously showing how to manually form withers

Quickly but this one I’m doing today is going to be sure how to automate that system now there are more advanced in multiple different ways to set up an automated wither killer I’m doing a very basic model for people who just kind of want to get started with that if you

Find the video helpful and you like it please be sure to click like but most importantly please remember to hit that subscribe button that way you can see all my videos and tutorials as they come out alright so some of the things we’re gonna do today first thing we’re going to need some

Reinforced obsidian there are different types of blocks that are immune to the withers blast and withers themselves I like reinforced obsidians because they’re really easy to make earlier than the others because all you need is four pieces of obsidian and five iron bars and you’re gonna need a bunch of these

Reinforced obsidians next we’re gonna need a wither builder which is three soulsand to wither skeletons skulls machine casing to plastic and another star you’ll need one wither builder you’ll also need one mob crusher which is two gold gear one redstone two books machine case two plastic and an iron

Sword you’re also going to be needing a range add-on now this is the range add-on plus 10 which is two plastic a glass pane and six diamond if you go to the JI and do a search for range add-on you’ll see there are many going from

Plus 1 all the way up to plus 12 I’m using a plus 10 because it fits well with the size of wither but killer that I’m making today but the basic recipe is the same two plastic a gap glass pane and then six of an item with a real

Lapis or iron lead or so on but a 10 is diamond next we’re gonna be using an item collector which is three hoppers two droppers one lapis block and two iron ingots now we’ll also need an RF power source as you can see back there I have wirelessly connected solar power if

You’re not sure how to use solar power or wireless energy there are tutorials for that on my channel as well so we’re gonna take those obsidian a reinforced obsidian and we’re going to build a little walkway a distance from our base far enough that when the withers pop or explode as you will

They will not distract destroy your base at all okay now next we’re gonna build ourselves a room now the important part about the room is there needs to be at least four empty spaces between the floor and the ceiling there else needs to be at least four from left to right

In each direction I have five by four here and then four up and down if it’s any smaller than that if you only go three high or three wide you do run the risk that the wither will spawn and glitch through the wall or the ceiling I

Have had that happen myself and they caused all sorts of damage before you finally put them down so four by four by four or five by five by four any of those are gonna be fine as long as it’s at least four up and down and at least

Four or five each direction here that’ll give you enough room now we’re gonna have our mob crusher facing inward right and then if you right-click on your mob crusher you’ll see that it’s got energy here and I’ve added the +10 range add-on and with the mob crusher is going to do

Is it’s gonna kill any monsters in front of it the plus ten just increases the space to attend by ten space gives it if it without that it would literally just kill only things standing directly in front of it so because the weather’s gonna fly around a little bit I want the

Range add-on to make sure that it kills everywhere inside of this room next we have our wither builder and you’ll notice that there’s a space above it here in the floor I do that for a couple of reasons one the weather itself will the weather builder will build a wither

But it’s gonna leave a couple spaces above the wither builder before it starts so again you want to make sure you have enough room for it to form without going the ceiling or glitching out it also allows you to run cables and connectors to it and again you want at least one

Block of space away from it and your mob crusher so that way it doesn’t accidentally form in the wall and pop your mob crusher when the wither blows so let’s look at the setup now for power I have that wireless solar array running power wirelessly to this battery which

Is going up through an energy extraction cable directly into the wither builder which I currently have paused by clicking up here ok I then have energy also running from the back of that battery up into my mob crusher so those two items need RF power then I have a

Chest on either side in one chest I have sole sand and in one chest I have wither skulls and then I have an item extraction cable and item cables coming up and loading those directly into the wither builder if you put both items in one chest and try to run it up through

Just one extraction cable eventually it’s going to clog because it’s gonna have all the sand it needs here and there’s going to be more sanding pending to come in and the skulls will not be able to get past it or vice versa the sand will not be able to get past the

Skulls so by having them separate they’re gonna feed into there automatically they will do that repeatedly if you want your withers to spawn slower you can go into the item extraction cable and you can change the transfer rate so that way it’s going faster or slower as the items will

Transfer through there ok and then the last thing that we’re doing of course we have here our item collector which does not require any form of RF power the item collector is facing your little boom room here if you will so that way anything that is dropped by the wither

Being killed will be sucked up into the item collector your mob crusher will also gather items but it doesn’t always gather everything and things can build up or get lost so an item collector is a great way to make sure you don’t lose anything now you can change the size of

What your item collector is able to pick up if you click preview heaven use the preview hidden and such you’ll see that now it’s going to collect anything in this space so I like to go all the way up to 19 19 which is the maximum size and as you

Can see now the entire boom room is inside of your item collectors range you ready back alright so everything is pretty much ready to go all we have to do at this point is to go in here and unpause our weather builder which should then cause multiple withers to just

Start spawning in there and then being killed by our mob crusher so let’s go ahead and give that a test okay so we’re gonna go in here and we’re going to unpause and we’re gonna get out of there alright and as you can see withers are now spawning inside of our little bit

More room there they’re gonna start to pop in a second if you watch their life bars you’re gonna see their life bars disappear relatively quickly and that’s because the mob crusher is killing them pretty much as quickly as they pop and this is going to continue for as long as

As many wither skeleton skulls and soul sand that you have feeding into the machine so of course it’s possible to set it up so that those fill automatically with wireless item transfer tubes or with you know just manually transferring them from safe farms or crafters but if you wanted to

Just keep it going automatically you could also then go to your as you can see everything just loading up here in our item collector you could wirelessly transmit items from that using wireless item transfer notes into your storage section of choice alright so as you can

See it stopped which means it ran out of materials so go in here and we’ll pause that you see it’s got some skulls left but it ran out of soul sand you can see our fluid essence is completely full of course because it killed a whole bunch

Of withers and inside of our item collector we got a bunch of stuff nether stars some supreme iam essence a bunch of items that were dropped alright and that is how you pretty much set up just an automated wither killer the most basic form there are more advanced ones

By far I’m not saying this is the best but it is a rudimentary one that you can put together pretty easy with a lot of real late endgame stuff alright well that’s pretty much it for this one if you have any questions about this tutorial or any of my tutorials please

Be sure to put those down in the comments and I’ll try to get back with you as quickly as I can as well as for any recommendations you may have for other tutorials that you’d like to see in Minecraft sky factory for always looking for more suggestions and thank

You for those all of you out there who’ve been requesting this one I’m glad I finally had the chance to put it together but that’s going to do us for today thank you very much for watching have a great day
