MINECRAFTdotNET | Minecraft Community Channel – Minecraft 1.7.4: Best Witch Farm Tutorial WITHOUT Witch Hut

Hey how’s it going guys so as a snapshot 14w 42b witches will now spawn under the same conditions as the other hostile mobs such as Scouts and scrapers zombies spiders and Enderman so pretty much anywhere with a low enough light low light level their spawns are a lot less

Frequent but they still spawn nonetheless so for those of you that consider we’re worth it to farm this new mob spawning system I have here a filter that will filter out witches and a system that allows you to easily kill them with a looting sword so yeah I’ll just show you guys this

Here so let’s spawn in some skeletons creepers let’s get some witches in there and then some zombies and then the spiders obviously in theory they fell but in theory they just go through this little to wide slot and fall down onto there so this is what a a 1.7 mob filter

Might look like anyway so the way I decided it was best to filter out the witches from the other mobs is a by just a stream of water here you see witches will drink a potion of water breathing by the way that’s also going to be added

In the 1.7 update we’ll drink a potion of water breathing when they start to suffer damage from drowning normal mobs obviously however will just die so this is just the right length here well Oh looks like I need to make it one higher home I’ve tested this for about half an

Hour and that’s the first non which month to make it through well anyways so that’s the basic theory behind this and just to warn you guys if you want to make this for yourself I didn’t place one water block at the top I place water individuos in one block here there there

And so on and so forth now another way that you could filter out the witches just let me mention this quickly is that which is need to fall a lot further to die than the other mobs I like the water system just because now it moves them up

On the filter and brings them down for the part so it keeps the witches in roughly the same proximity as your filter over here when you kill them but the killing system is simply to drop them down and then while they’re still at fairly low health you can just hit them with a

Looting sword and there you go most of this loot wasn’t from that batch this was from other testing that I did slash shoulders take out of there but what’s nice about having a system where you can kill the witches with a looting sword is that they have a chance to drop pre

Brewed potions I thought it was more than just healing but apparently it looks like it’s only healing so oh maybe it’s just the potion they’re drinking at the time that would make sense so yes since they’re drinking healing potions while we kill them now they’ll drop those potions so this is actually a

Way to get a lot of generally thinit resources such as healing potions redstone so on and so forth obviously you don’t have to filter them out and do this this is pretty much only if you consider worth it to a usse looting on them you could have a just where it

Kills all the mobs and then the witch drops go into the same chest sister normal mobs drops although I think you’d get about only 40% I want to say if the drops you’d get with the looting three I need to double check the math now the classic system for killing mobs like

This here’s potions see that the classic system for killing mobs like this is to throw a potion of harming and then before it hits them switch to a looting sword this is a glitch in Minecraft where when the potion hits them because you’re holding the looting sword the

Mobs that die from the potion will get looting effects even though they’re not obviously being killed with the sword which is however have an extremely high immunity to potions it takes about 3 to 5 potions of harming to kill a single witch at 1/2 heart of health so even

When the witch Falls from all the way up there which is 28.5 blocks if you’re wondering what that magic height number is I believe it’s 23 for normal mobs so you could in theory sort the witches out with that way too but I like it this way

Because now you can store the witches up you don’t have to continuously watch for a witch and then hit it as soon as it falls the reason that you would make the witches fall first is that so instead of having tit than three times using up the precious amount of

Hits on your sword now you just have to hit them once so less damage to your sword all right so there you guys go this isn’t the most practical system but it’s it’s obviously better than good it gets you more more drops from the witches than just killing them like you

Would any other mob so that’s about it new little system for getting a lot of drops which is without a witch huh yeah sorry about the cut I just want to mention this because I know I don’t probably gonna get a couple comments about it

The mobs or well the drops from the mobs that drown up here in this chamber aren’t wasted because it’s all in a one by one space that those mobs are dying all you have to do is place a single hopper beneath it and that’ll pick up

All those drops apparently this was in a apparently a squid spawned so yeah just want to mention that real quick so thanks for watching hope you guys found this useful and I’ll see you all later with another video okay bye bye
