Colin WmdI wonder if I can find the place and retrieve the maps? It was RIGHT NEXT to a Pillager Outpost.
Like, I was going in and wondering why I wasn't being attacked. Because it was some kind of a snow trap maybe?
I also found ANOTHER mansion but really didn't have the enthusiasm to explore all that.
One room dedicated to a woolly chicken is enough for one game I think.
I was hoping to get two farmers to automate producing wheat/potatoes/carrots instead I seem to have Brokeback Mountain
You soon start to appreciate how villages get their bizarre names when you start labelling your portal exits in #Minecraft:
Home, Village, Swamp, Sand, Stony Shore, Polar Bear, Mansion, Stonier Shore Terracotta, Panda
Just realised my cleric sells redstone so I don't need to find a witch hut. Which is good because there don't seem to be any. #Minecraft
*Looks speculatively at village*
They don't need that much room. What if I gave each villager a 2x2 room where they have their bed AND workstation?
If you want to know the endpoint of capitalism, just play minecraft. It is HORRIFYING
Heading to Stony Shores, the stop after Mansion on the circle line.
The Nether is basically the #Minecraft equivalent of the London Underground.
My route very nearly is a circle too. Once I've connected "Stony Shores" with... errr... "Stonier Shores" there'll be no stopping me.
Convinced that the minecraft world is infinite in size having mapped out around a 10km square section of it without it rejoining the other side.
Guys, I found an actual normal swamp! I was beginning to think there weren't any.
Don't know if there's a witches hut here yet though
Did I show you my reconfigured village? Now every (well, most) villager is in a 2x2 space with their work station and bed and easy to find and trade with.
This makes much more sense.
I can't believe I spent so long worrying about the morality of confining them to such a small area.
What other morals can I compromise? How about putting two villagers in a pen and breeding them and leaving a gap on the far side just big enough for their children to fall through to grow up seperately until they're ready to be shepherded into their work cubicle?
Read a bit more about #Minecraft enchantments and my conclusion is that I need to intensively farm librarians
I decided breeding villagers in the middle of the village green was a bit off so I've gone for more of a Josef Fritzl vibe #minecraft
BUT it appears all I've done is create a nitwit factory. These people ain't becoming librarians. I'm not sure what determines this. #minecraft
Oh, never mind. I was being impatient. The villagers that I'd thought were nitwits were in fact just unemployed. I just had to give them longer to notice their work block beside them. Phew.
I *think* I have to finally head back to the Nether and kill myself some Blazes to get the blaze powder necessary to cure them.
Some of them have very useful enchantment books that they trade so I don't want to replace them. I want to cure them.
I'm not sure how this happened but I guess there weren't enough lights down there
Just found some Iron Golems acting out that "Politicians discussing global warming" sculpture in Berlin
Discovered I could kill excess Golems by setting fire to the ground they are on and learnt some wisdom about *not playing with fire*. #minecraft
The funny thing is I saw the place was burning and paused it so I could come back with a plan after dinner.
I came back having forgotten all about it, went to sleep in game and then went up steps to see what I needed to do next and lo and behold, LOTS OF FLAMES and I guess several dead villagers.
Maybe I shouldn't make these things entirely out of wood.
Anyway, I did go back to the Nether last week and managed to kill several Blazes, so blaze powder is now a *thing that I can acquire*.
I've just realised that this means I'll be able to create Ender Chests which will be very useful indeed.
Gonna try to build a Blaze farm when I get home.
Hopefully 2023 will be the year I finally sort out a reliable source of gold and blaze powder in Minecraft
I like how literally every Minecraft question has already been addressed somewhere online.
"How do I separate adult villagers from children?"
Ah, yes, a water elevator. Of course
Plenty of videos here too because nobody can answer a Minecraft question without turning it into a video
It's easy to hold adult villagers and let children out but I want to do it then other way round. It's the adults I need
One Slime Farm (from a long way above). Just have to wait till night and then all the slimes should appear and get turned into slime balls.
Funny, in the process of building it I killed 2 slimes and from just that I obtained three times as many slime balls as I ever got from my stupid panda farm.
What to do with my stupid panda farm?
a) Set them all free to keep getting in the way for the rest of eternity.
b) Push them all into a lava pit
Freedom
Lava
Poll ended at .
Useful fact: A mansion is basically an infinite supply of wood.
I don't know why I've been planting trees when I could have just come here with an axe.
It doesn't matter. I think I'm going to create a better production line that separates the children from the adults and doesn't dispense them till they're grown up.
I've put a lot of effort into a ridiculously OTT iron farm and I've just realised I've made a slight assumption that I should probably have tested first.
Gonna find out soon enough anyway so no point testing it now. #Minecraft
Discovered that once you have a diamond pickaxe with the right enchantments you can harvest a LOT of gold by just swinging it around in the nether for 10 minutes.
Maybe I'll just do that for now instead of trying to work out what went wrong with Gold Farm Attempt#1
*crocodile dundee voice*
"That's not an iron farm. THIS is an iron farm" #minecraft
CodexNotFound@colinwmd I'm guessing that the spawning isn't that much more efficient than 4 seperate ones. I think it takes quite a while before the golem are taken away? I know optimizing isn't a goal for everyone, but just letting you know for if you do.
I really like the following design made by someone else on the server I'm on. It's a community Iron farm in our industrial district. It has an AFK spot in the ship but it's so effective that the AFK spot is never used.
@CodexNotFound I LIKE that iron farm!
Tbh it's not a million miles away from what I originally planned.
Mine has the 4 rooms on this level with villagers and a zombie in, the main difference being that I fill in the entire square with waterways to push the golems to the centre.
Mine also is high above the place where they actually get smelted, as I was thinking about potentially adding similar levels higher up later.
@CodexNotFound Your picture and the reality of watching my farm fail a bit made me realise that fences are the way forward rather than solid blocks, to stop golems spawning on the gaps between waters and to stop them getting stuck on the edge of water. It's now working a lot more efficiently! Thanks!
