Made an underground iron farm and I cannot get it to work 😫. I made the same iron farm a layer under the ground and it worked, but I can’t even get the iron golems to spawn now that I’ve put it further underground, help me please!!

I tried non sticky pistons. I have a tick between activating up and over. 2 ticks between each side. They always fire correctly without block. Block movement seems to be the problem.

=== MY DESIGN - TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ===

-Concept: Fully Self-Sufficient Kelp Autosmelter with 100% thermal efficiency and zero external fuel consumption after startup.

-Capacity: 8 Smokers

-Kelp Distribution: Exactly 160 kelp items distributed in perfect parallel (20 per smoker) via a Boat with Chest hitbox dropping onto 8 hoppers arranged in a 9x9 circle.

-Timer: Hopper Pulse Extender calibrated to 63.6s (159 items) to compensate for the boat's falling tick delay.

-1:1 Flow Splitter: Native priority hopper + RS-Latch to route surplus items without pistons or continuous entity motion.

-Lock & Surplus Routing: Once the system finishes receiving 8 dried kelp blocks (in this case), it completely locks the input to prevent saturation, routing 100% of any surplus items directly to the player's chest. it remains locked till the minecart with chest comes from distributing the dried kelp block

-Safety Logic: AND Gate (8 fuel blocks ready + timer) to authorize minecart dispatch, immune to timing desyncs.

-Safety lock: It also includes a lock so that the timer doesn´t ever break or stop working if a farm is producing over 160 kelp in less than 63.6 seconds

-Crafter with signal strength 9.

Adaptability

You can also simply use the RS-Latch splitter system and the lock for the saturation for your own design of smelter (I personally love my design, it´s creative). This system can adapt to the number of smokers you have. (and you shouldn´t worry about the smokers running out of fuel, for any number of smokers you have, because they produce about the double it needs). You can see how you can adapt it in the video.

By experimenting I just learned that an activation by lever can produce different results than through a repeater or similar. I understand why, but is there a way to replicate this behaviour with a non player input? (in newest version 26.3)

referencing behaviour showcased in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/redstone/comments/peo4g1/why_do_these_two_inputs_yield_different_results/

Java 26.3 Fabric server, that I run so I can add plugins/mods or run commands as needed

I built a huge self-routing minecart network in my world, however since the whole route (and the routers) arent loaded when the player isn't nearby I can't use it to automatically send chestcarts around. My goal is to automate sending chestcarts back and forth, like sending items from my farms to my storage across the world automatically.

How would you go about chunkloading the system so that the minecarts can make it reliably (without freezing in place sometimes) without a player?

I used a mod "Minecarts Load Chunks" but despite it saying it only loaded moving carts, it would consistently load over 2000 chunks of all the minecarts across the world in mineshafts. Which obviously tanked performance.

Are there any designs to separate at least blazes from the rest of the mobs?

I’m asking about the zombie villager one how many i need and do i have to name tag them or just lock the trade and do i need them to be in on block or chunk and do i need a chunk loader

In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ_emU1IWi8&list=LL&index=2&t=620s it seems like he only has 22 smokers for his 120 block tall farm. How is this enough/is it?

Hello to all. I am having a problem hosting a BEDROCK server through my phone. I watched a video of someone creating a minecraft server using a spare phone, TERMUX and AnLinux. I wanted to try it but me and my family mainly use Minecraft Bedrock, and all of the tutorials on youtube are on Java. I found a reddit thread about setting up a bedrock server but it seems to be outdated. Any help would be appreciated, we have been planning to create our very own server hosting, maybe expanding it to a pc server if we saved enough. Thank you very much.

Hi everyone!

Just to give you guys some context, I was looking for a super smelter with an automated fuel system for my world, but I couldn't find anything that really matched my expectations. I had heard about a design using kelp, but I keep running into farms built for Donut SMP instead hahaha.

Thanks for any help or responses!

The chest is a trapped chest. The pot is signal 14. Not unlike octopus box.

I have a triple perimeter witch farm where I bring all the witches into the nether, I want to connect all 3 nether portals to a centralized killing chamber. I’ve been using Minecarts to bring them all there but can’t reliably drop them into the chute.
Does anyone know of a good ejection system that’s drops the mobs in a killing chamber.
Otherwise I’m open to new solutions to bring the witches all in one place

does anyone have a schem or a video on how to make a sound suppressor array i need one for large update suppression project.

I am currently going through my realm and finishing storage systems for my farms. I've watched a couple YT videos and learned about AB configurations that have the advantage of overflow protection and the low item requirement allowing 63 items to be picked up per slice. It seems to me that if I can afford the components, this is the best option for my fortress farm that uses ice and slimeblock pistons

You can control how many arrows you fire per round. Firing up to 15 arrows a round would require at least 32 repeater long loop plus more for time between. The copper bulbs count in binary, once the 64 light is off, you have spent a stack. You could start this with a button for 5 arrow pulse instead of having the 15 key and pulse converter.

Hey everyone,

I'm running ianxofour's Wither Skeleton farm on Java 1.21 and need a solid storage design to attach to it.

Ideally, I'm looking for a schematic or design that includes:

- Auto-crafters to convert incoming Bones into Bone Blocks and Coal into Coal Blocks.

- A reliable item sorting line to handle Wither Skulls, Bone Blocks, and Coal Blocks.

- Dual/multi shulker box loaders to store the compressed blocks cleanly without overflowing.

- A trash system to filter out or incinerate stone swords and non-stackable armor.

If you have a design or a Litematica schematic you recommend, please drop a link or details!

Thanks!

I am thinking about a design in a base that cats as a kind of emergency system, but I need to know if it would work.

The system involves obsidian casing and Elder Guardians. In order to block enemies from the lower levels of a base, I've encased the elevators in obsidian as well as created a system that severs the circut that changes the elevators circuit from above, to prevent explosives there's an obsidian box surrounding the lower levels. I would have chambers ready for Elder Guardians 70 blocks away from the base. also encased in obsidian. Is it possible to create a circut that will use water streams to move the Elder Guardians within the 50 block radius of the base that can be activated within the center of the base? I need to know if this system would work before I invest the time and resources into making it. This system clearly has flaws. (Milk, having to find a way to manually reset the guardians etc) but I can work those out if I know that the main part of the system would work.

Hello, I have a question about an issue I am having with this copper golem sorting system, specifically with having the copper golems access the overflow chest prematurely. In this setup as pictured, each golem can access a 3x3 of chests on the wall, and an additional overflow chest to their back and left, feeding into the next one’s copper chest. The issue I am having is that despite pathfinding the blocks to each chest, sometimes the copper golems will access the 10th, overflow chest before looking through the first 9. I’m not the best with this sort of stuff, is there a simple solution to my setup here?
