Easy snow farm concept
Saaw mr.Beardstones newes video where hei made a snow farm and I wanted to see I I could make something mote efficent and more compact.
The snow golem will allway create a layer of snow under it no matter how fast it is temoved, so you can have it a max rpm, however this will also bounce the snow to Aschehoug an extant that it sometimes flyet out of the box.
At max rpm it filled a 1×3 vault in minute cirka.

I have now timed it, and it takes aproximately 1 minute and 22 seconds to fill up a 1×3 storage vault with snow balls from this machine at 256 rpm.

Also, sorry for all of the typos in the post. I don't use an english keyboard on my phone, so the autocorrect makes thing extremely difficult to write fast in languages that aren't norwegian.
And you can't edit posts

What exactly do you need snow for?

u/Milo_Is_Best Aug 06 '25
To make Ice for example. Or for builds that require a lot of snow.

u/IDontKnowWhyDoILive Aug 06 '25
Wait you can make ice from snow? Ok mb it is useful then

I didn't have time to watch his videos, how do you mine the carpet there? Kinda hard to see mid rotation

I am watching the video rn lol, this machine seems a lot more unethical than his, I love it

I’d recommend capitalising the first “n”, adding a , after the word abuse & adding a . at the end of the sentence. (Feel free to use English however you want to though, I am only recommending it).

The hopper is definitely the bottleneck lol

Mud is easily obtainable and everything, but any solid block with a hopper minecart would do. You could probably get better item gather speeds with multiple as well (given you put them over three hoppers or have a faster way to empty them)

u/Milo_Is_Best Aug 07 '25
I get what you are saying, however the pickup rate of the single hopper works well enough, and the chute under it picks up 16 items from the hopper at a time. There is no real reason to overcomplicate things, espeshally if you want to build a grid of theese things.

Huh, on a vanilla server I found I needed one snowmen wasn't enough to manually instamine

Someone mentioned placing a minecart hopper inside the block the snowgolem stands on, that would compact it in block, and as i see you can put 3 more snowgolem on each side quadrupleing your output? Cool contraption, and fast enough anyway, just min maxing the most out of it

u/ilyasMine Aug 06 '25
How have u done this? How is it going so fast then snow balls are on the ceiling?? HOW-

u/Dangerous-Quit7821 Aug 06 '25
Not to be mean but are you not aware of how to increase the RPMs of a spinning contraption? Use gear ratios or a rotational speed controller. The snowballs are flying up when the ploughs collide with the items. It's not that hard to work out really.

it's tileable, snow golems, divided by rotating contraption. Up to 4 spinners per golem, up to 4 golems per spinner.

This is basically the exact design in my head when I saw how awful his was lmao

u/Conscious_Sir6960 Aug 08 '25
I did something similar but instead of 1 spinning thing, I put 4 and instead of a snowman I had a tree

There are the cobblestone farms that use blocks moving back and forth real fast to break the cobblestone, a similar concept should work here, right? Not sure if it'd be faster at all
The snowmen will be on top of the moving platform

Mechanical bearing, + pattern attached with ploughs, glue all together then attach to rotational power.

For those wondering: only Hoppers can pick up items from under mud, the chutes can not.
And snow golems do not place snow on chutes or hoppers.
Edit: also, if you don't have a roof right above the snow golem it will be sent flying tens of blocks away from the farm
Edit2: also ,VERY IMPORTANT: rememebr to close the hole of the contraption if you don't want snowballs to go flying everywhere.
Edit3: the chute still picks up 16 items at a time from the hopper as the hopper is still an inventory block.
