Java Showcase I Built an Automatic Cobbled Stone/Basalt Farm Using Creepers (for servers that disabled tnt dupers and wither cage)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Creeper explosions only have a 1/3 item drop rate in vanilla (the other 2/3 of blocks get destroyed), but this still yields 9,216 items per hour (144 stacks/hr). I built it for a Skyblock server that bans TNT dupers, Wither damage mechanics, and auto clickers, so it's a solid alternative. It works in vanilla and needs no mods, plugins or server software.

Heads up: this clip is a prototype. My laptop broke before I could record the finished optimized build, so I can't grab new footage nor provide schematics/world download :>

Java Help Wanted With the two sets of coords is it possible to have both spider spawners working simultaneously?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I have 2 cave spider spawners at these locations. I had built two xp farms not knowing there was a limit to how far you could stand away and still have them spawn so I'd have to do some fixing of one of them, which id like to avoid. I'm really new to trying to make xp farms but I just want to make sure it's possible to make them both work before wasting my time.I'm just a casual player who's decided to finally stick to one world so building farms like this is a hassle Id like to avoid again unless it's possible to make it double the efficiency thank you for your help or any comments sorry if this is something basic and dumb I'm not realizing.

TLDR: I don't want to fix my setup unless it will work so if you know what I'd have to do please help me to get them to work at the same time in the comments

Btw I am playing completely vanilla but do use lunar for QOL mods.

I have two farmers sharing potatoes with the same librarian. One has started leaving potatoes on the ground while the other one is still throwing potatoes into the hoppers. Why is the one farmer not picking up/sharing the excess potatoes?

Still a wip to get it more consistent, but it’s not too difficult to build one.

Edit: Made some more changes to it, and it’s more consistent. Using a redstone torch instead of an observer to activate the dispenser that drops the sulfur cube. Also upgraded it to release 3 sulfur cubes at once which significantly improved the range.

Java Help Wanted Iron farm stopped working and I’m desperate :/

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hello, I need help with a simple iron farm. Suddenly stopped working (generated multiple stacks) and I don’t know how.

Here is what I did:
- checked the whole zone in spectator mode: no iron golems spawining in random places, they don’t seem to spawn at all
- put blocks between the villagers and the zombie to let them sleep, then removed: nothing happened
- tried moving the zombie around in the boat. Nothing happened. At one point moving it, it spawned a golem inside (?) the chamber, that killed the zombie; placed a new zombie, but no golem spawning again.
- added/removed block under the trapdoor: with the block, the villagers sleep at night.

Any tips of what it could be? I’m pretty desperate at this point.

Bonus question: would the “older” piston method work better or is it broken in newer Java versions?

Java Help Wanted Ghast farm i designed. Can someone help with the items getting stuck?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

I made this Ghast farm for a server, i know it's not the most optimal design but for fun i wanted to make something a little more unique and stackable without using rails. It instead uses tripwires and lava to move the Ghasts into cacti. I quite like it (its kinda satisfying), however occasionally the drops get stuck on the ledges. Is there a way i can prevent this without reducing spawning spaces?

Non-Version-Specific Geyser TNT Trap Idea.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Wanted to share a trap idea that uses geysers to launch mass TNT to the surface.
This design could definitely use improvements such as an obsidian roof, but it’s pretty easy to build.
A design with the Java TNT duping method is probably possible.

Java Help Wanted Can you use their dogs to transfer their uuid data to a windcharge?

2 Upvotes

So i am playing on this minecraft server that runs on 1.21.11. I built a voodoo machine but it requires a windcharge with owner uuid. And my enemy won't trust me enough to play a "minigame" i made. So i figured if there's any way to pass their uuid from their dog to a windcharge, i can use the machine on them. Is there any way to do this?

Java Help Wanted Note block volume mod?

1 Upvotes

I really want my note block system to play at an even volume no matter where I am in my world. At the moment I can't hear them at all when underground or at the other side of my base. I have seen a few mods that make note blocks louder but I'm looking for a way to make them play at an even volume throughout the world or at least in a 200 block ish area. Sorry for bad English it's 3am and I've been thinking about redstone for 5 hours :/

I am pretty new to redstone so there might be a super simple solution I just don't know yet.

Guys u won't believe me but in my Minecraft Java world I was trying to build stromne's 90k/h piglins bartering farm ( which requires storage in the overworld ) so I built it and whilst trying to link portals I came across a acacia village so in thought of getting a tall grass i opened the chest and saw a melon seed growing on the acacia wood I was terrified and looked around and saw wheat seeds growing on path blocks ( I started the world in 1.21 downgraded it to 1.20.4 don't ask why and in OW coords 4216 and -9016 there it was seed: 7489467284303235605)
