sharir1701 – [Showcase] Minecraft 1.8+ Witch Farm – Current Most Efficient

Hey guys career here and today I want to show you guys the sack kraft servers current best which farm design which we think is the best out there from some testing we’ve had we’ve seen compared to spires farm gets almost they get slightly higher results from spires farm

Which is very near optimal in itself but this one is really just optimal well first of all we’ve had this design for probably more than three months now it’s just really my fault I’ve been really lazy with this kind of burned out on minecraft but alas I felt like it’s

Really overdue and I just hop on and make this video real quick so this which farm design is what we call a toggle state floor shifting floor so most which farms the floor the shifting floor would shift in one direction and then back / which now if you think about that that

Gives you at least three redstone tix of block 36 / which now mobs can’t spawn on block 36 so optimally you want to minimize the amount of block 36 you can have in your farm because the main bottleneck of a witch farm is the spawning spaces since you only have 9 x

7 x 3 whatever that is so so yeah it’s just under it’s just under 200 spawning spaces which really isn’t a lot for a mob farm and so you want to maximize the number of spawning spaces you have at any given point in time so like I said

The way we do that is by minimizing the amount of block 36 that we have at any given point in time and we do that by using the toggle state shifting for it which instead of shifting back and forth / which it only shifts in one direction

/ which so let’s just quickly see a demonstration of that over here as you’ll see the floor only shifts in one direction whenever which spawns and then shifts in the other direction when the next one comes along it’s instant so the witches instantly fall through maybe

From this site they don’t but if we go one block higher which is how it would be in an actual which farm she will instantly fall through if she doesn’t walk this time yep there you can see it very cleanly there and if she spawned right on it

Then that’s perfect it’s only in the small time frame it’s only in the small area where if she’s exactly two blocks above the floor or if she’s I think also if she’s one block above let’s actually test that right here yeah so one and two blocks above she won’t fall instantly

But that never really happens you only have it if she’s in the same level or if she’s three or more blocks above so as you can see it’s instant instant fall through so yeah it’s the fastest it could possibly be getting rich getting rid of the witches as soon as possible

And it only shifts in one direction / which which means that you have the amount of block 36 that you have in your farm so instead of three redstone 3 redstone ticks per which we only have one and a half redstone ticks or 3 game

Tix / which now if a which for some reason stays in it for a long time then you’ll see it starts up a clock this is by far the fastest well not by far it’s physically the fastest clop you can get with this sort of a toggle state system

Where it toggles every ten redstone tix if I remember correctly and like yeah like I said that’s the fastest it could be it goes basically five redstone ticks in this direction then five for the other direction and there’s kind of some weird interaction here you’d think since

Tripwire stays turned on for a minimum of six redstone tix you’d think that this the fastest clock you could put on here was 12 wrestling ticks and that’s what we thought too but for some reason we managed to get a 10 red stone to clock on here and at least I don’t

Remember but I’m not quite sure why that works but yeah it does so don’t question it but it’s very rare that the clock would even get triggered in the first place that’s really fine or really doesn’t matter so as you can see just for a little I don’t know it’s just

Slightly better if you use soul sand and either slabs or normal blocks alternating like this this is something spire showed in his farm if I fly through this notice they both shift in one direction and not back so yep pretty awesome for which falls through here obviously she’ll instantly fall through both

Layers as I said three blocks or higher she’ll instantly fall through so this farm is pretty much perfect I mean it’s really ideal it’s also really really compact we can’t get this any more compact and we can we tried it’s a psych grad server if you know anything about

If about us you know we try and perfect our farms make them the most efficient we possibly can so anyway yeah this is probably the most compact this sort of a system can be the way it works is based on these hoppers so the sword basically goes back and forth between these new

Hoppers and the redstone block here locks the hoppers the rest I’ll leave it up to you to figure out it’s really not that complicated something I really like about this farm is how it uses a torch here but for some reason there’s like some weird interaction here again so the

Trip wire hooks take one game tick to trigger after an entity is inside them so one game take a one redstone take I can’t remember but anyway for some weird reason once these turn on these turn off in the exact same game tick so i could

Probably show you if i just get some redstone here so if I now go in here you’ll notice when when this turns off and that turns on its not at the same time but when this turns on and that turns off it’s almost at the same time maybe one game

Tick difference kind of hard to tell we didn’t really measure it but we noticed that there’s no actual difference for the performance of the farm whether we use a torch here or some other trick and using a torch is just a whole lot more easier than using a piston redstone

Block and some budding mechanism which is the other option since you want to have a non solid block here so you can’t like have a redstone block in this layer at any given point in time otherwise you’re significantly reducing the efficiency of the farm so yeah this is

Really quite awesome we’re not sure again why this works but it just does and we accept that there is also some light as you can see that’s necessary to go inside the farm but it’s not really an issue because it’s completely contained because of the way we have it

Here so the light is completely contained in this small area over here even when the piston goes back and forth you’ll see it’s completely covered on top with slabs so no light light can go anywhere and just to reduce a little bit more lag we have also prevention from

The light updates from this torch going out here so it’s very like friendly as well this farm I mean there’s clearly not a lot of Pistons at all there’s only just a few hoppers which are half of them are deactivated at any given point in time and yeah really really like

Friendly farm let’s see is there anything else I can say about it yeah obviously so you’ll notice there’s this little area here which kind of you might be asking yourself well moms can spawn here what what’s what’s the deal with that and you’d be correct there is

Nothing that we could find to do with this little problem here we invested a very long amount of time into this and the only way to solve this is to make the the farm like I don’t remember if it’s double or even more double as big

Going in this direction on each side so so it’s either have one of these vulnerable spaces or make the farm a lot more a lot bigger now any spa nabol space in the farm is it reduces the rate so much that it’s worth making it bigger

If that’s if there’s no solution to that but fortunately we could just kind of cheat and put either a minecart or a boat there so i’ll just show you how to put the minecart if you like that’s my preferred method because boats are really annoying they can break at any

Given point and it’s a lot more annoying to place them so let’s see i’ll need a rail as well alright so basically what you want to do is place two blocks above like that one mine cart / two blocks by the way not sure if I mention that so

Yeah basically if you don’t know in Minecraft if there is an entity in some block then other entities can’t spawn there that’s true for I think all entities not sure about that don’t quote me on that but yeah just do that you could do it before you place the

Tripwire really doesn’t matter and then you’ll see that this mine card is kind of occupying the space for both of these blocks and I can guarantee that no mobs are going to spotting either these blocks now so it’s kind of an annoying solution but really just build the farm

Once with those in there I mean the extra lag from these is really insignificant and yeah but that’s pretty much the only real solution we have to this and like if you’re considering lag and making the farm twice as big with a lot more pistons and some extra hoppers

I think as well and a lot more redstone dust updates which are also pretty bad yeah you’re not exactly saving on lag in that regards so yeah this is kind of the optimal what doc dome will compromise is the word I’m looking for it’s really good this farm is really good though

Even with that flaw and yeah yes this is just a showcase video you can probably see how to build everything three tix here this doesn’t matter how full it is I’ll show you again the hoppers has to be exactly like this just any item here and then either snowballs or ender

Pearls or something stacks up to 16 just like this over here and then a sword or some non stackable item same on the other side exact same thus far is an exact mirror so there’s no alternating slices or anything as well yeah you can see everything about the

Farm and how it’s built if anyone can actually improve on this about I forgot to mention for this little problem here with the minecart we actually this is probably what we spent the most amount of time on until we eventually gave up and said just not possible without you

Know the consequences the consequences that I said before but anyway also just to make sure that we’re not just ignoring something really simple that we could do here or forgetting something or I don’t know we got spire that was previously a member of the zip crowd server now is I guess freelance

Community member yay we got spire redstone spire on here with us and we actually this whole mechanism this whole concept and this design came to be from spires video and the discussion that we had with him in the comments of that video and he we have his stamp of

Approval I guess that this farm is currently the best out there and our testing confirms that pretty much so yeah that’s going to be it for today hope you guys enjoy and yeah if you can figure out solutions to the problems that this farm still has please let us

Know and yeah hopefully you enjoy this design how might
