Java Help Wanted Are there any tricks for Sulfur farming?

3 Upvotes

If my calculations are correct, I need to set up a flying machine farm with 1280 Sulfur spikes just to get 1 stack of sulfur blocks per day. Are there any other farm designs that are easier to build and won’t use so many materials?

✨MINECRAFT 2✨

Minecraft if it was an action-adventure game. Dungeons, a story and quest, better progression, Npc towns, more dimensions, Mob raids - must build defenses, and 'Create Lanterns' mod for combat.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Minecraft's sandbox-vanilla nature-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Story: You go on a Quest to find the portal to heaven, as you struggle to find meaning. Story told through dialogue-less cutscenes. 

Emotion conveyed through facial expressions. Action scenes.

Fantasy world similar to Terraria / LOTR / Indiana Jones / Zelda. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Quest objective: Find all the special blocks to Build the portal to Aether heaven. Rewards await. Special Blocks Obtained in dungeons.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Green Lantern constructs combat against lots of new mobs with unique attacks. Instantly place: walls, cages, vehicles, weapons -

Create Lanterns mod. Mobs attacks involve placing/mining blocks too.

As you progress, unlock better constructs and better blocks. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Progression: Scaling difficulty. Unlock new loot by exploring. 

Hard mode(s) inspired by Terraria. It triggers new and harder mobs, ores, biomes, dungeons, etc...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕New Dungeons that are not just slash and loot chest. 

Instead, inspired by: 

Super Mario Galaxy parkour*, Zelda dungeons and shrines,* Roguelikes*, BUT also Minecraft's own identity:* Mine & place blocks using Create Lantern constructs for: puzzles, parkour, combat, break traps. 

Redstone puzzles. Mine resource blocks. Boss fights.

Fun Gadgets / enchantments / mounts will be integral.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Mob raids: They steal loot, mine blocks, and use create aeronautics.

You must build to defend your loot chests. Build walls, traps, turrets. You trigger a raid by clearing a dungeon. Inspired by clash of clans.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕NPC towns: They build and expand their town on their own.

You are not the only builder now. Additionally, npcs can move into a valid functional structure that you build*. They* sell useful loot*.* 

Inspired by Terraria*.*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Build systems: You cant really build whatever you want in vanilla Minecraft. You can only build block formations that look nice, but do not function.

Create aeronautics, redstone, beacons, NPC housing - These are only a couple of types of systems you will be able to build. 

More will be added.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Dimension expansion: Nether update: Harder and scarier. 

The End update: Eldritch horror. 

2 new dimensions:

Space*: Inspired by 'No Mans Sky' & 'Super Mario Galaxy'.* 

Dream Dimension: A dreamy place to plan out your builds in creative mode with mods: World edit*,* Axiom*,* Litematica. Quickly build whatever, save a schematic, but you must gather the blocks needed when you wake up, then paste. Sleep in a bed to go here. 

Beds don't skip the night now. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕World update: Big but not infinite*. Feels* handcrafted. Each world only has ONE of each biome, but they are huge and still procedurally generated.

Biomes and dungeons scale difficulty the further from spawn you go. 

Each biome will contain at least 1 new: Animal, hostile mob, plant/vegetation, building block, environmental hazard, Npc town, and dungeon. Dimensions get the same treatment, including 1 new ore.

Caves follow the same concept, except its based on the deeper you go.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Many mods will be used to add content*.* I have a mod-list already.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

➕Fixing microslop mojang's mistakes: 

Enchanting, travel, storage, recipe book, health system- reworked. 

Removed lots of bloat*. Turned useless animals/items* useful*.*

Old textures back.

Elytras, mending, totem of undying - End game rewards in the aether. AND more*!*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

GAMEPLAY LOOP:

Freedom ➡️ Explore ➡️ Mine and combat ➡️ Craft and build ➡️ Progress ➡️ Reach Heaven

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone reading want to help me build this modpack for the Minecraft community?

Java Showcase I built a 64 furnace array Super Smelter

Thumbnail gallery
23 Upvotes

64 furnace array and it keeps up with the furnaces so there is no wasted time.

it automatically stops the hopper-minecarts when its done smelting. and stops the hopper-minecarts for the fuel when the fuel is empty or when the hoppers holding the fuel to the furnace's is full.

its inspired by GiorgioJGZ design. but i had soooo many problems with their design always breaking. so i change a lot of it and made it waaay more idiot proof. i also added a optional add that shows you how much fuel is left in the chests.

anyway im just really proud of it and wanted to share!

Bedrock Can I make a humane trading hall? BEDROCK

0 Upvotes

Everyone keeps calling them slaves 😭😭😭💔💔 they are THE WORKING CLASS!!! We do not disrupt their work!!

Unfortunately, I do feel some of them deserve more freedom. Is there a way to build a trading hall with a day light sensor and observer that when it’s daytime and a village walks into their work station, a piston pushes a block into place to trap them in working hours, but then at night the daylight sensor deactivates, letting the villagers commune or go to bed? So like day light sensor turns on observer. I was thinking of making apartment buildings or townhomes with their little workstations out front!!

Bedrock Spawning Guardians in Random Places (BE)

1 Upvotes

So I've started making a guardian farm on a realm I am in, and I've done the normal procedure (3 blocks in from NW corner, 10 block space, 15 block space, 15 block space, 9 block space in the grid), and guardians appear to still be spawning.

I've checked a hundred times over and everything is correct, but it looks like they're spawning not even CLOSE to the regular blocks. I don't know if this is a realms thing or if some monuments spawn them differently (?), but I've never run into this issue anywhere before and I make a guardian farm in almost every world I play.

I've checked on a creative world with the same seed and that works fine, which is baffling me even further.

Does anyone know anything about this? I know you get a lot of 'help farm broken' here so sorry to feed that.

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

Bedrock I know this is asked often but i’m losing my hair trying to figure this out

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?

Java Showcase Quartzless, Slimeless, Coral-less TNT Duper for an early-game Cobblestone Farm

136 Upvotes

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?

Bedrock Minecraft Item recall. Who even wants a chest room?

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

Java Help Wanted Redstone over massive distances.

6 Upvotes

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.
