Automated Villager Zombifying Machine! ▫ The Minecraft Survival Guide [Part 229]

Hello everyone my name is Pixar if and welcome back to the Minecraft Survival Guide I hope you guys are having a good day today we’re gonna make some changes around here to this a machine that’s gonna zombify our villagers give them the good discounts on the trades and

Unfortunately an iron golem did actually manage to kill the zombie that was in here so we’re gonna need to find ourselves another zombie as well but hopefully we will be able to find a zombie that is gonna get the job done even more efficiently than our friend

Down here did and I have been doing some tinkering and creative and I feel like I’ve refined the formula of getting a villagers zombified and getting them out of the machine and cured and everything down to a pretty streamlined process so I’m excited to get this in progress

Today we’re gonna do more or less a block-by-block tutorial of how this works so you guys can get a feel for it and try this yourself but first of all I’m gonna round up all of the iron golems in the area and at the very least

Get them attached to a fence post or something over here via leads if I have a few of those handy somewhere I think they might be back in the storage system here we go let’s round up the squad a look at some more march in there way in

Here fantastic let’s get them tied off to the fence post here next to the farmer just so they can gather around here and not cause too much disturbance because we are gonna need to find ourselves a few zombies here at least one at that can hold items and it’s

Gonna be a bit of a pain if one of these ends up getting a stray and ends up killing it so I think we will start off by getting those guys set up over there and then we will get the machine figured out first thing I’m gonna do is move

This guy out of the machine over here because I need to change a couple of things up he’s got a sweeping edge three trade that I’ve already locked in so his trade should be the same when we convert him to and from being a zombie but right

Now he hasn’t been zombified he’s giving us no discounts we don’t need to worry too much about him let’s take out all of the stuff that I have built around here so we can start from scratch and I will show you where we’re going to make this

Machine so the first thing we’re gonna do is set up a powered rail that connects to a corner of this pool of villagers which is gonna be able to drag a villager out using a minecart any time a minecart goes into this system here it’s gonna pick up a villager and bring

Them over to what is going to be the zombification mechanism now at this point we want the track to come up in a slope like so so we’re just going to create a quick staircase here skip one block there like so and then on this

Side we actually want a block of sand so that’s just a placeholder for now but this powered rail is gonna come all the way up the slope and it’s going to collide here the sand there is gonna be so that we can place a cactus on top to

Break any minecarts that come up here but basically you want a four block slope coming up to this block and then the villager is going to fall down into a hole here so the sand is gonna go on top of here the cactus is gonna go on

Top of that and we’ll put another block over the top just for safety so that whenever any minecarts travel into here they don’t pop off onto the top here we’re not gonna be able to take any damage the villages shouldn’t take any damage but if they do it doesn’t matter

All that much now what should happen when we send a minecart off up here once the cactus is in place here we’re going to build blocks up around here as much as possible basically blocking off any areas where the villager might be able to exit the minecart except for

Downwards into this hole and for that we will need a transparent block here’s something that they’re not going to suffocate in but something which they are not going to see as a valid spot they can exit the minecart and that’s gonna be a glass block if I can find one

Of those real quick so I’ll put the glass block directly above this last piece of powered rail and now when I use a minecart to take the villages out of here they should end up coming up through here not taking any damage on the glass block because it’s transparent

And that the minecart will hit that cactus it will break and it will fall down into that hole with the villager now at the bottom of this hole of course we want something to collect the minecart and that’s going to be a hopper although to have the minecart to recycle

We want that hopper to go into a dropper facing upwards here and that dropper is going to feed into a dispenser that’s also going to send the villager on their way once they’ve been turned into a zombie placing a dispenser on top of the dropper here and then adding some

Powered rail coming out of the back maybe with a redstone block right here powering it so it doesn’t power the hopper what we’re gonna end up with is a system whereby any minecarts that fall into this hopper get pushed into the dropper over here so I’ll put a wooden

Button on the dispenser there and anytime you press that it’s gonna activate both the dispenser and the dropper underneath it which is in theory going to push items up into the dispenser and then pressing it again will dispense the items if there is rail here and a minecart goes into the

Dispenser then it’s immediately going to be pushed out of the dispenser and sent off on its way let me show you with myself as a quick example we roll up the slope here go through the glass block and end up standing in here now I’m not certain if the minecart has gone into

The hopper or if it broke on the cactus and it might have end up being destroyed by the cactus which is unfortunate but it’s gonna happen and let’s face it we have a whole bunch of iron that we can use to create mine carts if we fill up

This dispenser here with spare minecarts hopefully we should have a minecart anytime we need one and we’ve got plenty of iron so wasting a couple of mine carts in this process is not going to be such a bad thing standing right here next to the villagers is going to be a

Zombie who will hopefully have some kind of weapon that will enable them to do a little bit more damage to the villager meaning be zombification process is a little quicker once the villager is zombified we’re gonna send them off on their way we’re gonna bring them around

Here around the site I’m gonna leave a 1 block gap between this section and the cactus just to make sure that the cactus doesn’t end up breaking and we’re going to have a rail that’s gonna take them to this spot here and that’s where we going

To be doing the curing so I’ll take them around the corner like so until they end up in this position we can put a little barrier up here just in case if for whatever reason they end up getting out to the minecart they shouldn’t but just

In case and here and here we’re gonna have a couple more dispensers in fact one of them can be a dropper but the other one does need to be a dispenser because we’re gonna have it dispensing a potion of weakness facing downwards above this last piece of rail we’re

Gonna have the dispenser and then we’re gonna have the dropper next to that the dropper is going to be filled with golden apples the dispenser is gonna be filled with splash potions of weakness and all we should need is a single button on the end here to dispense the

Potion down onto the villager and drop a golden apple onto this block which is going to allow us to have a golden apple on hand whenever we want to kill the villager and that’s why I’ve got all these gold ingots in my inventory because we’re going to start off with a

Nice supply of 10 and we can always refill that with some of the apples that we buy from the farmers and some gold that we’ve got from our gold fund the blocks over the top here are vital to make sure that the zombie villager does

Not burn in the Sun and we’re also going to need to put a block over the top here as well just to make sure the villager doesn’t burn up while it’s standing in this little spot here make sure it’s one block higher than the glass block though to make sure the villager doesn’t

Suffocate and take any damage it’s way down although if they took a little bit of damage at that point it might just speed up the sonification process so it’s no big deal to make sure the zombie is not gonna just wander up onto the rails here and start walking

Around inside the system we’re gonna have the zombie standing on a slab with a slab above its head like that and we could do what we did in the previous system and have the zombie piston controlled just have a piston underneath this pulling the slab up and down but

It’s not really gonna be all that necessary in this system because as soon as the villager is zombified we want it to just be whisked away on to this section of tracks so the zombie isn’t really putting anyone else at risk there the only reason you might want to

Consider it is if the zombie is standing here there is no villager in this spot here and this dispenser gets activated the minecart rolling past has a chance to pick up the zombies so you might want to consider having some way of getting the zombie out of the way but that’s

Just gonna require a piston under there with a control somewhere around here maybe a lever on the floor or something like that just make sure it’s not in a position where it’s gonna activate the dispenser so maybe pop the lever down there we’re gonna put a glass block here

To make sure that the zombies line-of-sight to us is blocked but we can still see what’s going on inside the machine and we’re going to put a glass block here as well and that is to prevent the zombified villager from just wandering out the back this glass block

Should be enough to contain it and then when we have it in a minecart it’s gonna be just controlled going on this rail and we won’t have to worry too much about it escaping really the next step in this process is to get a zombie and

Encase it in the prisoner in here which is gonna be easier said than done but with a little bit of a minecart magic I think we’ll be able to manage it so I’m gonna brew up some splash potions of weakness and wait for night to fall we

Shouldn’t have too long to wait I’m gonna have to make sure that some of these villages are taken care of I might even put this guy over here back into the system he kind of escaped while I was testing the minecart track over there but we can put him back in the

Pool of villages and hopefully we should be able to get a zombie that can hold a sort there we go nice and easy found myself a zombie full chainmail armor as well and he will pick up items cuz I got him to pick up a torch now we should just be

Able to yet roll him into a minecart like so as long as you’ve got something that goes around a corner it’s usually pretty easy to pick mobs up he might even stay unburnt in the Sun while we have chainmail armor on him but I think it’s probably best if we just try and

Get him into this space as quickly as possible while it’s night time here should just be able to connect up the minecart tracks make sure that one underneath him is facing the right way and by taking a little bit of damage for a melee hit there we should just be able

To push him into place now hopefully he should be able to stay in that minecart while we do the rest of the stuff here well place a few blocks around him like so see if we can chop him out of the minecart yes there we go okay he’s in

Position fantastic that went very very well I feel like that’s the hardest part over and done with I should be able to sleep for the night now give or take a couple of creepers who’ve decided to wander in yet there we go alright let’s sleep through the night and let’s take

Care of this whole mechanism in the morning okay here is in place and he should be accepting new items if we give him something that is an upgrade from what he’s already holding so if we threw him a stone sword then he would take that if we threw him a diamond sword he

Would take that if we throw him a diamond sword with let’s say sharpness 5 not this one I’m not giving him a diamond sword with mending and and looting and stuff like that but if we give him a nice shiny new diamond sword that I’m gonna win chant

At the highest level I possibly can it should be OK to leave him in there by the way cuz he’s holding an item so he shouldn’t despawn while he’s in there I think we should be able to rustle up a diamond sword from some of the spare

Equipment I’ve got in here somewhere I think maybe this last chest yeah there we go we got a sharpness 5 sword there we have a few other swords with lower levels of sharpness which we could probably combine there we go to sharpness three swords upgrading to a

Sharpness 4 and a sharpness 4 book to that we have sharpness 5 giving him looting to is kind of excessive I don’t think he really needs that but what the heck okay let’s make sure we are giving him the right one here I put the one

With sharpness of 5 and unbreaking 3 in my hotbar I moved my diamond sword into my inventory just to make sure we didn’t get too confused let’s a throw that on the ground next to him but avoiding the hopper and he should yep okay he’s picked it up fantastic this guy is now

Weapons-grade and if we put a villager in there he should hopefully convert them in just one or two hits the last step of the process is what to do when the villager is done curing here and the cool thing about that is that if they’re in a minecart already when they exit the

Minecart they actually drop down a block there is kind of glitchy behavior happening right now with that and the cool thing you can do with that is drop them through a glass block with a rail on top of it and they’re going to be stuck down there and you can set

Something up underneath this area to whisk them away using another minecart system so that’s what we’re going to do underneath here we are going to have a wooden pressure plate that they’re going to stand on and that’s going to activate a dispenser setup over here to dispense another minecart that’s going to get

Them out of here and send them off towards the trading hall oh and I think this makes a little bit more sense into a second booth over here where we can actually apply trades because right now we are picking up villagers out of here is that oh did

They just take entity cramming damage there are a lot of villagers in here now the mosh pit is getting a little rough anyway I think what we’re going to do is have them come out into a booth where we can mess with their trades you know apply and break and replace workstations

And stuff like that hopefully keeping them out of range of any of the other workstations that we have set up in here already considering that we’re pulling them out of here without having any professions applied already it’s probably a good idea to have that as an extra step before they get whisked away

Into the trading halls so let’s go down here and let’s set up a dispenser in the wall here and this one is going to have a bunch of mine carts going into it will probably have a hopper on top of this that we can input mine carts just in

Case it runs out and in front of that we’re going to have a powered rail down here we’re gonna have a bend in the track there going into another set of powered rail that’s going to take them up out of here let’s put a couple of

Mine carts in here as a test we’ll put the pressure plate there we’ll put the redstone dust there and any time a villager falls onto that pressure plate it’s gonna activate the minecart and they’ll be sent off around at this corner fantastic that’s working really well once the villager comes out of the

System here I now have a little booth set up where they’re going to roll in here with a minecart we can come around here put down a work station a lectern whatever happen to be adjust their trades once we’re happy with them we can pull this lever

That drops them down onto a secondary set of powered rails which pushes them out here and eventually into the trading hall where we can find a place for them in amongst all of the trading booths that are around let’s give this a try I wanna use this guy as our guinea pig

First of all let’s see if we’ve got a few mine carts at least in the system yeah let’s pop one in there to start off with well bring this guy around the corner and we’ll put him into the system right at the beginning here with this

Set of powered rails so we should be able to take him around the entire circuit this way and see if the Samba fication work so let’s give this a try I’m quite excited to see this in action actually let’s push him up here and onto

The set of powered rail and off he goes and he should be whisked into there and Wow he turned super quickly and for some reason he’s holding a sword what the heck okay alright let’s capture him in a minecarts send him off around here and oh I didn’t grow up the splash potions

Yet oops well if he’s holding a sword then hopefully that should mean he’s not going to despawn really annoyed that I didn’t bring up the potions it just turned Knight too quickly and I saw that zombie it was the perfect opportunity let’s see if we have any in here water

Breathing and stuff no looks like we’ll have to brew one up from scratch oh I really hope he doesn’t despawn now no he did I brought over the stuff to brew the potion because I thought if I didn’t spend too much time away we’d be alright

But no oh that sucks okay well I guess we’ll just have to start from scratch then we lost our librarian villager man that was another rookie mistake oh well oh well we’ve got a little bit of gunpowder lying around I expect if not we can probably just find and kill a

Creeper or grab some gunpowder from somewhere else lower stakes at this point I guess we can just bring a new villager over from the pool all right I guess one more thing we could do is place a dispenser facing this way into the minecart track and

That way when we have a few minecart set up here it’s gonna be able to dispense something onto the track that will come down here and pick up a villager for us first time so we don’t have to worry too much about that let’s make a button for

That and let’s craft a bunch of mine carts we can probably make yeah like 10 for now we’ll throw a few in here hopefully some of those should get recycled into the system but if not no worries and having some iron bars around here should also speed up the zombie

Curing process so I suppose we could always do that maybe helps a little bit with decoration I don’t really know let’s let’s see all right let’s get a villager let’s get a brand new villager and let’s try this there we go he’s in the system he’s actually walking towards

The zombie which is a frankly a bit of a silly move but I guess your funeral this guy actually seems to be egging the zombie on to attack him which is pretty impressive oh and there he goes converted in a heartbeat all right now let’s pick up the zombie villager bring

Him around over here and oh he actually smashed into one of the other mine carts there we go managed to get him fantastic now if we have a splash potion of weakness in here and the dropper there actually might have something in the way there we go

Hey oh and now he’s holding the Golden Apple oops well I guess we’re not getting that one back no worries we can farm the things not a big deal hopefully the iron bars around here should allow him to cure quite quickly yeah maybe a chest would have been a

Better idea instead of this drop I completely forgot that that was a possibility that the zombie villager could pick up the Golden Apple and I don’t think we’re even gonna get that back when he converts back into a villager I think that one’s lost to us

Forever at this stage and Chuck the last minecart in here and hopefully we have a couple still in the chamber once this guy finishes converting he’s gonna drop down here should hopefully be carried up into this little booth over here we should probably pull the lever to make sure that’s closed great stuff

And once he converts he falls through perfect oh that worked so so well and oh the burro who stand is right here he already thinks he’s a cleric oops hopefully he should forget that profession in a few seconds time thanks to it being part of the work day

Although is there another brewing stand around here do we have another cleric in the area I don’t think we do so okay we’re gonna have to lock down this area and make sure there aren’t any workstations in a too close proximity because yeah I think he would probably want to pathfinder the place

That workstation was to understand that the workstation is actually gone let’s see if we can take him over there with a minecart and then take him back around oh okay he’s got stuck against the chest here but it does seem like he has forgotten his priesthood which is a good

Thing for me right now because I do want him to be a librarian instead go on fella get up the ramp alright he’s in position and hopefully there shouldn’t be any other workstations around that he can choose there we go lectern do your thing yes and an unbreaking to book I’m

Considering we have unbreaking three not the best offer in the world but now yes now we’re in a position where oh gosh he thinks he’s a farmer now that is probably because I ended up putting this guy’s at workstation back in place let me see if I can just put a dump his

Marine block there in the meantime and hopefully if we roll him to the right and to the left again he’ll forget that he wants to be a farmer yeah sometimes it does take a little while for them to forget their profession unfortunately but I think we need to do a better job

Of enclosing this space and making sure that he cannot possibly path find anywhere else I’m not sure how easy that’s gonna be to do with all these rails around but maybe if we put some glass blocks over some of the rails then it’s gonna look a little bit less like

An area they can just walk out off okay so now he should be back in place on that block and we can do our lectern thing again fantastic alright we are back in business and that is a silk touch book for a single emerald my friend you are going to the trading hall

And off he goes hey alright well that is overall a pretty effective system I’m really pleased with how this thing came together we have a zombie who is absolutely lethal that’s one shotting some of the villagers into zombification really really good stuff and hopefully this system can be in place for a little

While like i said we’re gonna have to make sure that this area feels completely enclosed to the villagers we’re going to need to obviously move a bunch of the stuff I’ve been collecting while we’re here but that feels like a success and we’ve got this whole thing

Down to a bit more of a an automated procedure at this point which feels very very good so I’m going to go away and actually brew up some splash potions of weakness but that is going to be it for this episode of the minecraft survival guide thank you folks
