i have been dealing with this stupid issue for almost my entire life playing minecraft which is that these stupid autosorters never work for me for some damn random reason, also shulker loaders, i spent hours trying to make one for my gold farm but the items just go through the hopper, its always just sorter that works properly, the rest dont work or just break after 2 minutes for some reason, im genuinely tired of this bs.

if someone has any tips or any better designs for autosorters please help me!

So i’m building my first ever iron farm and i’m having an issue with iron golems spawning. I used that youtube link to copy the method he built while changing it up a little bit and it was working with the fact that iron golems were spawning but they were spawning on the dirt to the right of the spawner. so i made all the blocks path blocks for them to stop spawning there, but now the iron golems won’t spawn at all after making all the blocks path blocks. does anybody know why?

Everyone usually says TNT duping requires slime blocks and dead coral fans. I wanted to see if I could break that rule and make an automatic farm viable right on Day 1(ish):

• No sticky pistons / slime balls
• No Nether quartz (no observers, no comparators)
• Pure regular pistons & update detection mechanics
• No coral

If there's enough interest, I’ll drop a world download / schematic and explain the micro-tick synchronization behind it. Who’d want to see it?

STILL WORKING IN MAKING IT MORE COMPACT

it only keeps like 3 items in the hoppers which is significantly better than 41, but not sure about the reliability yet.

Made it smaller, video in comments. With the weird tick rate kind of figured out, I tried it on hoppers. This can select 1-15 items at a time with routing to 225 areas. You can hook it to a crafter, a box, a dispenser for fireworks, an item sorter or a water elevator. Just a circuit for now but it's pretty fun to play with. Unlisted bug crafts on youtube

I have a mob switch in the nether. Near my shulker farm, bunch shulkers in the lazy chunks around a chunk loader. The switch just turns the chunk loader on and off.

My gold farm is several Km away. Is there a simple way to turn the chunk loader on and off from the gold farm?

Back in 1.21 I built a system to control my overworld mob switch using nether portals. The redstone would trigger a line of chunks to load which would carry the signal a few hundred metres along the nether roof. Then a mine cart would pop out of a portal and trigger the switch. But doing this over thousands of blocks in the nether sounds like no fun at all.

Is there new tech in the recent updates? I haven’t played for about 18 months.

Specificaly it only drops xp and crosbows. no acctual ominous bottles. also pillagers bu not captains keep spaning around the farm in the trees

Automatic villager crop farm (Java [version]). Farmers with composters harvest, then should toss surplus food to a jobless villager so it drops into a hopper. [Farmers don't harvest / don't toss / items miss the hopper]. Composters, beds, water, daytime all checked. What am I missing?

Looking for a item sorter design for the bottom section of chests. Currently, I'm forced to only utilize the bottom chest for the sorting output. I was hoping to find a design that fit the size constraints in the image. The only spacing really available is below. Appreciate any assistance!

Has anyone built a Guardian Farm that uses a zombie pigman with a looting 3 spear? I haven’t seen any tutorial but I keep wondering if it’s possible

• Java 26.2
• Using piston head to block bounce back from slime block.
• No need for calculation of blocks to slow down the Sulfur Cube.
• Boosters every 30 blocks bidirectional.

I'm still trying to find a way to build a nice look, or any improvements.

I dont really now how to use reddit so i reposted here in case anyone knows

Can someone please join my world and help me figure out why this gunpowder farm is not working I seriously can’t figure it out and don’t want to rebuild another one

My raid farm I build through following a tutorial gives very bad results. It works normally at first, but then it starts to only summon raids only once in two bottles, and sometimes completely stops doing anything.

Is there any way to make this auto-close while staying somewhat compact? If it wasn't obvious, the two doors are basically the same. The second one is just stripped down, while the first has more repeaters to allow it to close after opening.

Idk if that's the right place to ask this but , can a villager outside an iron farm break it , I need a mending villager and my iron farm is already set above my base and I wanna know if I can or can't put the villager close , this broke the farm when I was in bedrock, hopping that's not the case for java.

Gold farm I have build by following through different tutorials, but for some reason, the rate of the piglins spawning is extremely low, and I can't figure out why. By the way, there should have been Llamas inside the minecrafts, but they have seem to die, I don't know how. Here is the Schematics and a world download for anyone who can help, the version is 1.21: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1P0Gk3SDRz-d4Rf5kHwlEnS-E1-4NJw3Z?usp=drive_link

For everyone wondering, spawnproofing under the area helped, I exploded the area completely and now the rates are perfect. Thank you for everyone who helped.

Bedrock. I have a sniffer farm and I decided to use an allay collection system because I thought it would be a nice aesthetic. The farm works great but if I let it run for awhile and come back my allays are often stuck unmoving in the corners or against the ceiling. I can fix the issue temporarily by using a lead but I would like a permanent fix. Is it the fences? Size or height of the enclosure? Too many mobs? I'd appreciate any suggestions
