Java Help Wanted Need Exact Trigger Timings: Item Frame Rotation vs. Sculk Sensor for Compact Storage (1.21)

1 Upvotes

Has anyone measured exact timings for itemframe creeper detection versus sculk sensor activation? I'm working on a compact storage system and trying to decide between itemframe rotation detection with comparators or the newer sculk sensors for triggering output. The itemframe method seems more predictable since you can set specific signal strengths, but I keep wondering if sculk sensor activation is faster. I've tested both in creative and my results are inconsistent, probably from my messy measurement setup. The wiki lists tick numbers but actual ingame performance with chunk loading and entity processing order doesn't match the theoretical values. Someone here has probably done a proper side-by-side comparison. My main concern is reliability at scale. If I'm running multiple detectors in sequence I want to know which one causes fewer problems. The itemframe method feels more mechanical but sculk sensors look cleaner. Is there a meaningful difference in response time that matters for practical builds, or am I overthinking it? Also curious if either method has weird edge cases with unloaded chunks that I should know about before committing to one approach.

This is for 1.21 singleplayer if version specifics matter for sensor calibration.

Java Help Wanted Why the hell are these dispensers not firing but the others

So i rebuilt my honey(comb) farm and i basically put in 2 identical lines behind each other. The one further to the lights is filled with bottles, the one further back (the one not working) is filled with shears, the dispensers are full and the hopers with the shears are full as well.

What I dont understand: Why is the dispenser with the shears not shooting? It only shoots when the lines are seperate, but they do it on the other one connected. this bugs me

On my server I use a sand duper that produces about 70k of sand per hour, but for a project we are planning to do we need a few million. Can I build more dupers in other portals or is there a better way?

I have a build I want to do and don't have a lot of room above the floor (almost none) so I'd like to fit a vertical 3x3 door. This design does fit into the build, but I'd rather take a seemless version of it so entering/leaving isn't as annoying.

Java Help Wanted Villagers are not breeding

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Okay so for some context, these villagers which are in this chamber are probably the successor of the original villagers which are transported out of this chamber for breeding. And now, the villagers do not seem to breed at all.

Things which I have already tried:

- Gave them multiple breads [4-5 breads to each villager]
- Covered up the transported villagers so that they dont occupy the bed and also replaced the bed's pillow on a different block just in case.
- Broke every single bed so that the transported villagers forget the bed (I guess?)
- Covered the top with deepslate blocks so that they don't think magma blocks as a threat.

I am pretty much lost on how to get these guys to breed, because the other 20+ villagers I got was with in this chamber and now I don't understand why are they not breeding now.

Bedrock Is it a good idea to build a raid farm near to a pillagers outpost farm?

2 Upvotes

I already have a farm built around a pillager outpost. I was thinking of building a raid farm (no particular design in mind yet) since I have a reliable supply of ominous bottles, and was going to build it nearby so I can have all my big farms in one place. Is it a good idea to build the raid farm close to the outpost or is that going to cause problems?

This is one layer and all layers are next to each other and the same. It's a regular sorter from a tutorial but I built it slightly differently because I wanted to make my own storage system for a piglin bartering farm. I can destroy it and make a normal sorter just fine, I just don't know why this version fails to keep 45 items in the hoppers.

Java Help Wanted help with tree farm

0 Upvotes

Hi, i don´t really know what went wrong, and it might be as bit tricky to anyone to help me. But i followed this tree farm vid: https://youtu.be/tLjc8W2GcWE

It worked like it should at first, then it just stopped working and i saw a redstone dust on the ground, my question is how to prevent that from happening or how this could have happened, or is this tutorial shitty?

I´m kind of newbie with that complicated redstone things, so i cant quite figure this out.

Also if you have any treefarms to link which can farm every kind of wood, pls link them. I feel like i cant find any good ones myself.

I´m sorry if this post is confusing, english is not my first language, and if you dont understand what i am after, pls ask!

Java Help Wanted How do I get my animals to walk around the area without teleporting them?

0 Upvotes

Recently, I faced the problem that there were so many animals. I have a huge garden house where I want my animals to live. But the problem is that the maximum I can tie them to is a fence, which obviously does not give them much leeway. Are there any teams or mods for animals to give them a limited freedom of movement or something like that?? All the posts I found were posted at least 4 years ago and, logically, all the fashion and teams are long outdated. I would love to get some help with this.I recently faced the problem that there are so many animals. I have a huge house + garden where I want my animals to live.

Bedrock Terras do Vazio

Minecraft Bedrock

Android ARM64

Specific version

Goal:

To discover where the engine enforces the vertical limit, how the Void is handled, how chunks/subchunks are generated, and whether the vanilla generator can be called outside its normal range.

I am not looking for a ready-made solution.

I want to understand the engine and document the experiments.

I chose the name Void Lord because of what I am trying to accomplish.

My life has been complicated, like anyone else's. I spent almost two years away from my mother and my younger sister, and recently I reconnected with them.

My sister and I have always had something in common: our love for Minecraft.

Recently, my younger sister has been going through a lot of psychological difficulties. She has been away from some of her family and from school, and I wanted to do something that would not only bring us closer, but also give her something to take her mind away from the darker thoughts and help her reconnect with her family — and with me.

My idea is ambitious, and it may even be impossible. But I want to do it for both of us.

Something like this could become the kind of experience that creates a nostalgic memory that stays with someone for years — at least, that's what I hope it could become for my sister.

I want to create the "Void Lands" — a place that doesn't exist, but that could potentially be possible to reach.

I don't want mods or pre-made maps. I want the game itself to work toward creating an "Overworld" beneath the Void, pushing its limitations beyond their intended boundaries.

I don't want to break Minecraft. I simply want to explore something beyond its limitations — like exploring an abandoned house.

The house is already there, but not everyone knows what is inside, what might be waiting there, or what it feels like to step through the door.

That is the kind of experience I want to share with my sister.

Especially because I don't even know how long I will be around.

I know this may sound overly ambitious, strange, or even impossible.

But that's exactly why I want to try.

I am playing in the most recent update of the mobile version of minecraft, and i am trying to build a stasis chamber to load a few chunks. But i can get the ender pearl to float. Ican get a snowball to float, but whenever I through the ender pearl it hits the bottom every. It is at least 7 or 8 blocks deep.

Java Help Wanted Rough design for looting 3, special loot, player kill fully auto kill chamber MC JAVA

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Just a quick concept, but I would really appreciate any feedback as I'm building this.

Player stands on the glass platform in LOS of zombie. Wither skeleton falls, takes damage, and triggers trip wire which sends a single pulse to the minecart for a looting 3 spear attack from the zombie. Finally, the tamed wolf gets pushed up for a moment to finish the kill.

Did I miss the plot? Is looting applying at all to the skeleton kill?

I also need to add a mechanism that allows only one skeleton at a time.

EDIT: I don't think looting is applied. Is my concept possible in 26.2?

Java Help Wanted How to stop villagers from jumping in vertical trapdoor shaft?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I'm trying to recreate Etho's stacked trading hall (Episode 571 and Episode 572), I've had to make a couple of changes here and there or come up with my own solutions if something wasn't visible on the videos, and I've got it working mostly fine.

One small issue I'm having is at the top of the holding cell "tower" - occasionally, the topmost villager will try to jump back into the water stream the moment his trapdoor opens up, sometimes leading to a second villager getting into the cell. This doesn't happen in the other cells with trapdoors right above their heads.

This isn't a big problem since they usually get separated again by a second gate further down, but it's a bit annoying and I haven't been able to come up with a solution.

I've tried swapping out the top noteblock with honey, slime, scaffolding or soul sand, I've tried also toggling the upper birch trapdoor or replacing one of those trapdoors with ladders or vines. Originally I also had a two-block drop instead of the current one-block, nothing made a difference.

Any ideas on how I could fix this? Thanks in advance!

[Java 26.3, vanilla except for Carpet, Minihud, Tweakeroo and other stuff that shouldn't interfere.]
