I Built a Witch Farm Inside of a Giant Frog! – Minecraft 1.19 Survival | Episode 32

Hello everybody my name is marlo and welcome back to another episode of minecraft survival where currently we’re here at my survival base which i feel like we haven’t visited in a couple of episodes because we’ve actually been over in the new mangrove swamp by him doing some building over there and

Surprise surprise we’re heading back over there for today’s episode well nearby the mangrove swamp it’s actually gonna be in the regular swamp biome where we’re doing building today but the point is we’re not stopping off here at the survival base for long all i’m really here to do is drop off some

Supplies from last episode and gather up some new ones for what we’re going to be doing today and that is a witch farm because i have next to no redstone anymore in this world and i could go caving for it i would probably enjoy myself but i would like the option to

Not have to do that so a steady supply that i can just afk for would be pretty nice there is one thing i have to deal with before we can leave and that is under here as you can see uh the rest of the tadpoles that were in

This little area when we were trying to get one of every frog type have now grown up into full grown frogs and i don’t really know what to do with these guys i’m kind of tempted just to let them roam freely around my base here because i don’t really want to build

Anything for them i’ve already got myself a frog sanctuary we’ve done all that before we don’t need to do it again so i think i’m just gonna let them out and see where they go there is quite a lot of powdered snow up here in the mountains so maybe somewhere

A little further away would be wise i’m thinking down here in this area by the two custom ponds that we have that way they can go in the water if needed and there’s not much else around here that could potentially kill them other than the giant hole in the ground but let’s

Just hope they don’t fall down there they’re all attached and i have no idea the best way to do this i’m thinking we just dig out the wall pull them down and hope they don’t die so little friends could you just get out the water and come with me one two three

Where are the other two all right i’m gonna come back for you too just just stay put right there this will never not be funny to me look at their little legs wobble it’s too adorable oh let’s not walk into some deathly snow all right we’re nearly there little froglets nearly there and

We have arrived my little babies be free wander the earth and just try not to die because you are totally alone out here i am not going to be watching you so good luck let me go get your brother and sister if they are still there and they are wow

Impressive okay i thought you guys would be out as soon as you could all right just come this way a little bit you’ll be fine and spleef spleef oh come on you two oh no he’s just dangling oh this could go poorly um There were only four frogs right as i remember yeah yeah there were four not five they gave frogs as promised your one and only remaining family member it was just one there wasn’t two i i can assure you if you tell me any different well you’re just lying because

There was definitely one left i just don’t have the heart to tell them place your bets now everybody how long are these frogs staying in the area i don’t even know where the fourth one is honestly so it’s not a good start but it’s okay i’ll let them wander they

Can do whatever they want this one’s going back up into the mountain he is a cold frog after all he’s probably pretty warm down here at the bottom anyway let’s get started with that witch farm shall we i’ll gather up my supplies and i’ll meet you on over there so here

We are at the witch hut that we’re going to be turning into a farm today i’ve got all of my supplies ready to go as you can see i should probably get rid of you otherwise you’re going to make it a bit of a nuisance for me

Very sorry i would actually like to have a look around for the black cat that sometimes spawns here though hello kitty are you around because you’re pretty rare and i would kind of like to get my hands on you but i i don’t seem to see her anywhere

Okay that’s fine we don’t need the cat that’s not why we’re here we are in fact here to build ourself a witch farm which i’m just gonna get started with right away but before we do i just have to let you know that this is

Not my own design as you guys may have guessed i am following a tutorial this one from shulkercraft i’ve used quite a lot of his tutorials and farms in this world and for a good reason he makes great videos they’re easy to follow and just really good quality so if you need

A farm design for witches go check out that it’s in the description there’s also another link in the description which you may noticed but i’ll explain that later on when it’s actually relevant to what we’re doing for right now it’s time to build the farm so cue the time lapse So the witch farm is done pretty much you may notice we have some scaffolding pillows that’s because those are the markers for where i need to do some spawn proofing so i basically need to get rid of all of the blocks in a big circle surrounding the farm but before

We do that i would just like to make sure it’s actually working correctly so the only reason we really need to get rid of these blocks around here and spawn proof this area is so that it actually works at night time obviously in daytime nothing can spawn down here

So in theory if i set up the afk platform way up in the sky there we should be getting some drops um that’s not normal is it my scaffolding is disappeared it just stops here oh there we go we’re back we’re good okay let’s continue placing it down and now we rise

Hey we made it that took no time at all so this is the level we need to be at for the witches to spawn down there so in theory we should be actually getting some spawns right now but i would just like to make a bit of a more suitable

Afk platform up here just with some glass so whilst i’m doing that i’m hoping witches are spawning and then in a second maybe a minute or two actually i’ll go down and just check we’ve actually got some drops all right that’s been roughly a minute and a half ish

Somewhere around there all i really need is clarification now we’re actually you know getting drops in here and witches are in fact dying so if i could just find my entrance somewhere around here there we go we should have something in this bottom chest great okay that just shows to show that

It’s actually in working order let’s get spawn proof then but first satisfying scaffolding for lovely But our area is now spawn proofed nothing is gonna be spawning in these murky waters here other than witches right in the center so i think before we start with covering this farm up with what i’ll get on to very shortly let’s do a very quick afk session maybe just

10 or 15 minutes and we can see what the drop rates are like so this is everything that we got whilst i was doing the spawn proofing and just setting up the farm and that sort of thing obviously wasn’t in the afk spot so not the best of drop rates but after

15 minutes in the afk spot this is what we have it’s not the best but it’s certainly not the worst a stack of redstone in 15 minutes which means four stacks of redstone in an hour if i was to leave myself here overnight you can do the math i get like six seven

Hours sleep a night so yeah not too bad really as someone who doesn’t do redstone all that much but just needs a little bit i’m happy so now it’s time to cover up this monstrosity and we’re going to be doing that by building a giant frog yep you heard me

One big frog going over the witch farm in this pool that we’ve created for it and this build that we’re about to do isn’t exactly my own i’ll explain a bit more about that afterwards but for right now let’s build ourselves a frog so the frog is done as you can see it

Has come to life and it looks a whole lot smaller now nope it’s over there so this monstrosity and i mean that in the best way possible as i said isn’t really my own design all credit to this goes to gold robin i wanted to encase the witch farm in a

Giant frog i i had the idea and then i looked around online for some giant frogs as you do built in minecraft and that is when i saw my buddy gold robin’s frog house basically it’s like this but on a smaller scale all i’ve really done

Is sized it up so one of these blocks is four or eight actually i should say um yeah his is like a frog house it’s awesome i’m gonna leave a link to the tutorial that he’s made for it down in the description get below please do

Yourself a favor and go check that one out now there were a couple of issues i ran into whilst building this and it mainly comes down to the size of it not quite being big enough i could obviously size it up again so that every one block would be

64 if my mass is correct which is just too much that would be like huge um but i had to raise it up by an extra block you may have seen in that little uh whatever i just showed you i’m not really sure what to call it it kind of

Got raised up by a block and that was because the top of the witch farm wouldn’t quite fit in so the actual design of it kind of takes away this top layer here so mine doesn’t look quite as neat and uh frog like as gold robbins

Does but yeah it is the best i could do given the circumstances now i do just want to explain why i’ve chosen to use someone else’s design for this build because usually i don’t do that sort of thing sure redstone and farms and all that sort of technical side of minecraft

I will use someone else’s design because mine is just not going to be as good it’s not going to work well if i do it myself but building that’s kind of my area of expertise and most stuff i come up with alone but this this type of

Building i am not good at it and it mainly comes down to my issue with colors i’m not good with colors i’m kind of colorblind if you guys didn’t know most of you probably do by now so picking out the blocks that best correlate to a

Mob’s actual color i i’m just not good at it and mine would probably be totally wrong if i decided to do it myself so i just thought i’d have a look around online for some ideas of what colors to use and what blocks and ended up just stumbling across gold robins and thought

It was pretty much perfect with the way that it was already so yeah that is why i’ve chosen to do that but anyway shall we have a look inside this giant frog now i’m gonna get my torches in hand to do this because i have a feeling mobs

May have spawned as it’s quite dark having said that there’s water everywhere so i think we’re actually good i’m just gonna light it up in here in case but yeah i don’t think much should be able to spawn here because of all of the water so that’s great

Okay cool ouch what’s not that great is this actually needs to be spawn proof now i don’t know how to do this we’ve kind of got two options option a is to spawn proof it using lighting like torches option b is to spawn proof it using

Blocks like slabs if we take the block approach i think i should be good for most of it because we could probably turn some of this into slabs and stairs i could even round out some of the edges and make it look a little bit better

That way the only trouble is that right there at the back is orange terracotta and if you didn’t know there’s no slabs or stairs for that block i’m thinking what i’m gonna do is use slabs and stairs on all of the acacia when possible and maybe just over here in

This corner i’ll replace this block or maybe this one with a jack-o’-lantern or a glowstone or something cover it up with orange carpet or the acacia trap door and that will stop mob spawning up here not gonna look the prettiest but it is right at the back of the build and

Hopefully shouldn’t be seen really so basically without all of that explaining i’m gonna use a mix of both lighting and blocks there we go our frog has officially been spawn proofed he’s got some rounded legs now which aren’t perfect at the back there with that orange terracotta but it’s the best i

Could do really and then up the top here above his eyes these are slabs so no spawning possible there we got some stairs and some slabs in the front bit here just realized this is all four blocks okay gonna have to do something about that whoops but all of this back here is

Slabs and we even have some trapdoors to get inside the frog at the back with some lighting which is joe okay just about as i was saying lighting up this back block here with a light level of two so we barely squeeze it in i’m

Also not a huge fan of the cape that i’ve basically given the frog here but like i said it’s really the only option possible and now in between the eyes is spawn proof too so in theory nothing should be able to spawn except witches in the witch farm which means

Maximum rates we are now left with one thing and one thing only left to accomplish which is actually the collection area and the killing system for the witches which is under our froggy friend here now it’s a bit of a mess i need to waterlog this entire area

But i’m holding off on that because i need to relocate my minecarts and there are 24 of them in there for entity cramming so they’re gonna go a little bit everywhere and i could do with less water so i think the plan is to basically move this down underground out

The way we’re still gonna obviously have to keep the shoots that the witches fall down into but other than that everything else can go down further below so yeah let me quickly sort that out so the water is all filled in kind of there’s a couple of open spots here but

I didn’t really care enough to go around filling them all in individually i couldn’t really make it spread like it usually does water is tricky sometimes but as you can see we now have some acacia planks and all i’ve done down here is just cover it in the cage

Replace all the minecarts and everything and uh yeah just oh there’s my torches i was wondering where those went uh yeah and just sorted all of this out so there we go job done oh and by the way in case you’re wondering why i haven’t built an item sorter that’s because i’m just

Gonna do this instead which basically does the exact same thing so there we go everybody that is gonna do it for today’s episode me and my giant frog friend here wish you a very good bye is that a thing a very goodbye it is now a very goodbye to you all

I hope you enjoyed the episode thank you ever so much for watching and i will see you next time bye for now ribbit ribbit You
