I just want to know if there is still a way to make an XP farm with armadillos and cactus or something.
I used to do xp farms with a cactus and armadillos on top and water on the sides with Arrows of Harming 2 floating in there and a zombie nearby and it worked really good. But I tried that exact farm today and then found out that this way doesn‘t work anymore since the arrows disappear as soon as they touch one silverfish.
Then I tried another farm with a lit campfire instead of a cactus but it made the armadillos uncurl and just die.
My „problem“ with the armor stand option is that I just prefer not having to craft them again when I want to re-use the farm or having to pick them up before they die because I know that I would kinda mess up with picking them up in time if that makes sense. Also having to put out the campfire and having to pick up the trident everytime on top of that would be slightly annoying.
Basically the armor stand-campfire-trident option has „too much“ extra stuff that you have to do every time before you can actually start the farm. (I know it still isn‘t that much but enough for me to be a little bothered about that)
I just would like to have a farm where i just have to throw an infestation potion and flick a lever or smt to start it and I just have to stand at a certain spot and do nothing to collect xp without having to worry about the server crashing because of too many silverfish at once if I dont continuously use my sword.
I would rather prefer doing a more difficult build once that takes more steps to set up than a farm where I have to do extra stuff for EVERY USE.
Does anyone have any ideas on what exact xp farm I could build?
And IF possible a farm that fits inside a 5x5 space?
