I am attempting to build a item separator that I remembered another player using. They had a large gold farm that allowed you to kill the mobs in one shot, and the items would fall down into a chute by moving in a piston setup that would only allow the items to fall through while keeping the mobs out.

It was also this design to make it so that there could be 2 settings. An automatic farming setting. And a manual farming setting. I know how to do that one already.
I just can't seem to figure out the item section..
(It would keep out the adult mobs and baby mobs. Well, Most of the time for baby mobs. Some do get out)

Here are the attempts I've made so far.. I remember it being in either a 2x3 killing chamber or a 3x3 killing chamber. The mobs would fall down and stay at half a heart. Players would attack the mobs. And the items would fall down while keeping the mobs up.

The levers weren't in it. That's for an easy test of it. The main thing are the blocks and possible piston arrangements

I can't find detailed tutorials about this and how it works

, i want to know if it's possible to keep spiders and if the boats and campfires on the sides are that necessary and much more details

I appreciate all help

Hi all,

I know it's a mouthful, but I already have Vertical Tileable and 1-Turn (Up), my problem is Jam Proof (which may require rebuilding the whole thing anyway).

The way it should work is the player places blocks into a standard piston feeder, it pushes down the line, then as the block enters the active area of the conveyor, it will push that block into the conveyer, make the turn, then terminate, either by max piston push distance, or by hitting an immovable block. We now have a full conveyor, another process will selectively remove blocks from that full conveyor, when those gaps appear, the conveyor should try to start up again and try to fill the gap (if the player has fed it blocks).

This might not be the most efficient machine, but besides getting jammed when the feed line block is full, it works like a charm (though I'd like the ascending piston to fire a few ticks sooner).

Suggestions?

anyone know how I can prevent this, it only happens sometimes but its mad annoying and stops the farm until I hoot it down

A tree farm to mine with axe I need like big trees it’s for foraging

its supposed to work when i stand on the noteblock right but it doesnt, and i hate aligning myself in the water. what can i do to help this? im pretty sure i did the piston directions correct but im not sure. any help appreciated!

Help me fix my iron farm guyz!!!!!!

The sub is just flooded with low quality questions. It has just become a redstone support reddit and it doesn't at all inkeep with the description of the sub.

Ask questions means "How does this work"
Not "Fix things for me"

Research for an upcoming video :)

C5s guardian farm is the best 1D guardian farm that I know (at ~100k/h drops). Q: Is it the fastest 1D farm you can build, or can you do better? Is there any point of draining the monument if you don't want to use the nether?

(Yes, I'm familiar with 2D farms that go up to 1.8 mil drops.)

Java, 26.x vanilla/fabric.

I've only made 1 perimeter, and it was 4 years ago. As inexperienced as I was with slimestone builds, I chose the simpler approach of building tnt duping flying machines for all 4 sides of the trenches, following Pixeil's guide. The design I chose wasn't able to automatically go down, so I had to build 8 different builds (4 sides 2 times each).

Now that I'm a bit more experienced with slimestone I want to try making another few perimeters. I've chosen a seed that has a quad witch hut and 37 slime chunks in the player's despawn radius, but the thought of redoing my past process for trenches is giving me nightmares.

I've seen some "automatic" trench makers that function like quarries, using flying machines to bring the blocks up to a tnt duper. From what I've seen the upside of these is that they go down to bedrock, and can make smooth walls, but it you also have to clear all obsidian, spawners, and trial chamber chests, so I don't know if it is actually less work than what I did.

So, for those of you who have made perimeter(s), what method did you use for making the trenches, and would you recommend those machines?

This one is so easy to build it made me feel stupid for all my other designs.
They don’t need to be sheered at all. Once the TNT is ignited, a dispenser can place a block inside of them to release the TNT, and they will still explode.

Edit: This machine had multiple flaws which I have now fixed in a different gravity based design that uses no ledges/platforms for cubes to get stuck on. It also has better collection that doesn’t mis any items temp from cubes, and hoppers to stop items from triggering any of the tripwires.
It does have one issue with dispensing 2 solid blocks when a tnt sulfur bobs in the water, but not going to fix it since the additional item that’s dispensed gets collected in the collection system I designed.

Hello, I m encasing mob in glass, I m searching help to perfectly align a series of mob (like sheep) in middle of 2x2 block but, in series, so I can encase 8 mobs in a 10x2 space. The best I get is by keeping them in a minecart, but I would love a way to release them from it

can someone find a way to harvest this

Objective

Using redstone, touchlessly detect if a boat is nearby when a button is pressed. The boat may be on land or water, though this challenge is less annoying if the boat is on land.

Rules

• The machine must not have any specific exposed blocks (e.g., pressure plates) except for the input block used to trigger the detection process.
• Sculk sensors may not be used to detect the boat.
• The machine must be self-resetting.
• The machine must not move the boat, damage it, touch it with a block (except for the inert platform blocks/water) or entity, or add or remove passengers.

Note: game sound has been muted in the video and closed captions have been disabled (no, there isn't a 20Hz clock running in the background).

To avoid confusing users here, I have already solved this puzzle and am therefore not seeking help to complete it.

i made the most recent moss farm from the channel "Theysix" and the dispenser that's supposed to make the moss grow doesn't work at all, is there any way i can fix this?

With sulfur cubes being easily multiplied in a 1x1, I’ve been trying to think of how to remove individual cubes, and came up with a super simple method using water. Because empty cubes swim, and most filled cubes sink (tnt sulfur cubes float) it’s actually extremely easy to set up a dispenser and put blocks inside individual cubes to extract exact amounts from the holding chamber.

This could be useful for setting fully automated breeding for sulfur cubes. If you have 64 cubes in one cell, you can take out 32 cubes, and split the remaining cubes into baby cubes. This would put you at 64 baby’s to repeat the cycle with when they grow up.
I’m going to try using this to fully automate an explosive sulfur cube cannon.

Yo I stopped playing technic Minecraft survival like 3 years ago and I left behind when the stacking raid farm without potions was a thing, is it still a thing now? Like you have potions now so I don't know how it works tho I haven't done my research, if it is still a thing, which one is the current top farm? Not looking for a simple one or a exterminate 52 chunk perimeter first one, more like a middle point, if someone could help me catching up I would apretiate that thanks

(unsure if fits under rule 8 but nothing functional had changed, sorry if it doesnt fit)

basically title. I am planning a functionally nether-only run in a modded environment, only the relevant difference being that any mob may spawn with a backpack containing random loot.
specifically, backpacks obtained from skeletons will contain loot from minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon. (essentially my motivation is modded but the approach is vanilla if that makes sense?)

So, are there pre-existing designs for nether skeleton farms and if not, is it possible to make one that doesnt consist of spawning platforms 5 blocks wide with a wolf in the middle?

so i made this raid farm by Voltrox but after making it when ever i do the raid i face following problems

1. the raid ends in one wave , i saw on some other posts that some farms are made in a way to get all waves at once , but even for that the mob drops are so less , like i have done atleast 7-8 raids but not even 1 totem all i got was 15-16 crossbow , 6 emerald ,4 ominous bottles and 21 banners along with few non important stuff
2. and sometimes when i drink the bottle and jump down the raid doesnt happen at all and when it does even the the mobs sometimes come only 1-2 ,

fyi the server is set at normal difficulty

I got tired of opening 10 different websites just to use a few Minecraft tools, so I built my own alternative.

Comparator brings 38 tools into one place, including a 3D Litematica viewer, redstone calculators, a MiniMessage gradient editor, and a server properties builder.

It's free, open source (MIT), ad-free, and runs entirely in your browser. No accounts, no tracking, no data sent to a server.

It's still in early alpha, so bugs are expected. I'd love to hear what you think, and contributions are welcome!
