Boat clock is probably the only thing that may not work, but spawning mechanics are vastly different in Bedrock so this may not be the optimal design and rates will be significantly lower regardless of design. Building multiple towers spaced out by 4 chunks would increase rates in Bedrock due to density checks.
An easy way to distinguish copycats and content farmers is to go into the comments, if the comments are only praise and how incredible and mind-blowing the design is you can safely leave, in almost all the respectable channels you can find a trove of information and suggestions for improvements and genuine discussion with the creators and mentions for other people's designs and ideas which can be used to improve everyone's experience, the bad ones always remove those comments and simply shadow ban anyone criticizing or suggesting alternatives
@@josuelservinthis is true a lot, but unfortunately even this isn't always a safe bet. Well made tutorials can still get a lot of praise, even if the design is bad. Or an actually good design can catch flak in the comments if the tutorial isn't all that good

I really love the effort you've been putting into not only doing the video but also into all the research , as well as the explanation of mechanics behind the farm, so one doesn't just has a dull 1:1 build-along slideshow, but also able to understand the mechanics behind the farm.
i'm really appreciative of the materials list. it's always a bit daunting to try follow these kinds of tutorials with no idea of what materials i need and how many.
I do agree and your channel is highly underrated. I found your channel couple of years ago when I stumbled on your trading hall and super smelter tutorials.

This video is fantastic! I've played this game for years, but I feel that you did a great job teaching me and proving that there's always more for someone like me to learn.
5 minutes in and this is waayy better than any other guide/tutorial I've ever seen Note: Years ago, when I was new to java [Not Minecraft] I got so many headaches when I would build a farm, and it wouldn't work- this was because of the copy paste thing where they say it works in all versions you did a great job making this video!
Just found your channel and I can say you come across as one of the most genuine and honest content creators I've seen in a really long time. Up there with Rhett and Link's early days imo. Thank you so much for explaining things, calling out the bs in the real world arena, and just caring about helping and creating something useful. Major props in my book.
My guy you are amazing. This is exactly what I’m looking for! I have definitely learned and am inspired to build my own. Watching the whole vid rn. Liked and subscribed. May the algorithm bless you 🖖
00:58 I was thinking about this exact thing the other day. I wanted to look up a melon/pumpkin farm design, but I just kept getting the same two options posted by all these channels. I was mainly concerned with the trade off between efficiency, ease of creation, and modularity/footprint. I ended up going with, what I later learned was a pretty inefficient option, but it was good enough to be honest. I just wish I would have known more ahead of time. Really appreciate you for this reason :D
Love that you acknowledge the history behind these technical farms and pay respects to the backbone of modern farming. Also explaining how these farms work. I already know all of it since I watched a lot of Gnembon and other technical minecrafter's, but its always nice to see content going in-depth about technical farming.
I’m 3min in and you’re my hero. As a veteran returning to Minecraft and running my own family and friends server I’ve found it almost impossible to get good clean info about the game like back in the day. All the OG greats seem to have moved on from tutorial content (ilMango, EthosLab, Mumbo Jumbo, TangoTek, Docm77, & Xisumavoid to name a few) You’re exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’ve even been thinking about getting back into Minecraft content creation to serve the space like you’re doing in this video. Personally, thanks my guy. Can’t wait to keep watching. Auto-Subbed. ☑️
i loved how u explained the gold farm, the bartering farm and now u just keep your good content with the mob farm. Usually i dont type in comments and stuff but ur channel deserves the best man, i think Minecraft players will be happy to have you in the community. Thank you and keep on with good stuff, will be joining dc aswell ^^
I like how this covers an umbrella of things from the mobfarm content meta to the actual game mechanics and how each thing works. I don't normally sub to minecraft creators/content, but videos like these with this level of detail and history are worthy of a sub + more. I will definitely refer to this as a basis for intel on my own farm projects, great job!
Well thought out, supremely well presented, giving credit to the people who came up with all this. Kudos - THIS is what a sublime yt vid should look like!
It's clear you put a lot of work into this video; thanks a lot! I especially appreciate the detailed explanations in the first 1/3. :-) Bonus kudos for crediting your sources. Shows that you have integrity.
7:15 I agree with you that itʼs deceptive to talk about raw drop rates mixed together, but Iʼm not sure what the best option is. Because I also donʼt want bones (melon or moss bonemeal farms are remarkably fast) and in general you donʼt know what I find valuable. And I might be able to filter out some or all of the mobs I donʼt like (with very little *effort* but you need either game knowledge or a guide) which affects the rates for all the others.
9:39 issues with the signal propagating upward are completely resolved if you use slabs over each dispenser, thereby waterlogging each slab when activated. The slabs will prevent backflow of water when the source is removed; for such a simple solution it is vastly superior to have the signal travel from the bottom upward, especially for early game with no access to elytra and how much it saves on build time for a water elevator, ladder, or otherwise redstone torch tower to toggle the farm all the way at the top.
We need more like this, every major schematic used in description, an explanation why and what and how. aActually a voice to listen too, like the old days with ilmango, ethos, ioser or rays.
I don't Minecraft these days, but I always appreciate the explaination of game mechanics as well as credit sourcing and calling out content farmers. I hope you go far
this man is the goat. calls out, credits, explains mechanics, tutorial,... what more can you ask for? definetly waiting for the bamboo furnace array litematic though. thanks man!
I really appreciate you involving more reason and theory in this video. it's something I've always felt was missing in youtube's current attention economy
this is so satisfying because I'd build the farms knowing there's a TON of lost optimization but i didn't know enough about mob mechanics and i was too lazy to research all the hidden tips and mechanics the one that was most important to me was the signal 2 item filter section i found it weird that there would be so much jamming in the hoppers but i just didn't know that item batching could be used in such a way very neat
A member of my Discord community recommended this to me, and I am glad they did! The insights about RUclips search and users rehashing the same farm designs explained a lot to me. Because I have posted lots of questions, trying to understand things, and gotten no real answers. When I built an iron farm I took what little I knew and the facts that Logical Geek Boy explained, and made my own design. I wanted to understand the various aspects of the farm. I never tried to do that with a mob farm, but you have explained things very well here, and now perhaps I will. Thank you for all your work here. If you ever feel like wasting an afternoon, perhaps take a look at my iron farm design and let me know what I did right and what I did wrong? I am happy with it and the rates it produces, but I would love to make it better!
Love what you're doing. Few years ago when I was really into Minecraft, I had run into so many youtube channels that just copied other youtubers or stole their designs and it was so disheartening. Especially as some of the main channels I watched were the technical youtubers like Gnembon and Ilmango, just having their designs stolen with no credit. The copy pasted clickbaity "per version" ones were getting really annoying too. Such to the point where trying to search for the originals kept leading to pppular low effort tutorials I had to sift through just to find what I was looking for. The amount of effort you put into your videos are great too and highly appreciated. I already know most of the things explained, but I still gush over hearing people talk about it and it's one of my most favorite things about the community. Not to mention the idea of expanding the spawn platform area by including non-spawn blocks in the center when you were talking about spawn velocity. It was one of the most obvious yet big brained answers I probably never would've thought of. I haven't played Minecraft in over a year, but this is the kind of stuff that keeps me up to date with the game. Cheers.
I like that you go over all the mechanics first, those are some great optimizations. I never would have thought to put the farm in the desert to reduce rotten flesh drops and increase everything else.
This reminded me that about two years ago I modified gnembon's design as well to turn it into my primary gunpowder source, I set up the farm almost touching the ocean, ran a water tunnel into a column and my killing platform made the spawn sphere work perfectly to my favor. I also used the usual 1 hit height drop + looting and made sure to put glass blocks in certain parts of the farm to remove spiders from the equation. Ironically, when I tried also putting trapdoors on the ceiling to only let creepers spawn, the gunpowder per hour rate went down, so I had to leave skeletons and zombies spawn as well....
I started playing in 2020 and it was a jungle to get into with all those fake videos and stolen designs (at that time especially from Shulkercraft). I did learn though, as I got so addicted to Minecraft, and today I'm a MC RUclipsr myself - I actually found my dream education as an Electronics Technician through Minecraft, since I found that I was pretty neat at Redstone. You got a new sub! 🤘 (PS. Your subtitles says GNIMBOM instead of gnembon. 😅)
Thank you for the intensely detailed video! It really helps to explain the *why* of the design. Small criticism: the sound is unlistenable around 32:17, almost like its static. Might want to do a double check on your music choice because it gets a bit painful at points.
@@RosyEos the music was fine, until the open source artist decided to not honor their free use agreement and started to take my ad revenue. RUclips has a feature to remove the song only, and apparently it works terribly and sounds like static, which is what you see there. So I will be trying to mute the audio from that segment entirely when I can after the holidays
Damn im impressed about the spawning platform improvement. That’s nice. Everything is well thought. There is still room to make the traditional mob farm ever so slightly better!
absolutely amazing video, good explanations and thanks for calling out those 2 channels, they've been bugging me for ages, youtube recommended me those before the good ones like these
thank you SO much for making this video. I used to play minecraft java a lot 5-6 years ago, and since then not really kept up to date with updates and stuff. I recently returned to minecraft, and it's actually my first time playing Bedrock, so I've been having trouble finding a minecraft guide that wasn't....aimed at a different demographic. I've gotten spoiled with the quality of niche Destiny 2 youtubers, and it's been difficult to find similar youtube creators lol
yeah i just watched all of one minecraft mob farm guide even thought im not even currently playing minecraft lmao... the video was just that good to watch, thanks.
Gnembon is missed as a creator, but so appreciated as part of the Mojang team. Quality of life updates come and we see his signature in some of them. Thank you potato_noir, for building onto his great foundation
One little note because I'm at the point where you talk about it right now - for an upwards propagating signal you can just waterlog a slab or fence or similar with the dispenser and you won't have the issue of repeatedly firing the upper observers because the water can't flow back in.
Speaking of RUclips not recommending correctly .. I've been looking for this video for a week and it was uploaded two weeks ago. To know that this video exists now when I've searched for it is jarring.
A super smelter can be pretty much replaced by a carpet duper, save that extra bone meal for a sugar cane farm, mix with that gunpowder for some easy automated fireworks farm. Which if you are on end game you pretty much need.
I feel like to sync the boat clocks you could keep only the bottom one and use a trapdoor, scaffolding and one observer to carry a redstone signal all the way to the top to trigger the flushers. The platform would be quite large to run repeaters to delay flushing. In my opinion, mining enough redstone for a few repeaters probably takes as much time as 2-3 tries of syncing that boat clock, minus the headache.
Much respect for how diligently this video was made. Although Im on bedrock, I still find all of this fascinating. Hope something like this is found for bedrock soon
i feel like for players in the "end game" phase it would be just easier to make a redstone clock (like with hoppers or whatever) instead of the boat clock as well as adding tripwire hooks to the 5x5 drop-hole and hooking that up to the killing area to turn the water off for a brief moment if said tripwire gets triggered, it would make it possible (i think) to build this farm without having to worry about chunk-placement, still an amazing design tho and very thoughtful improvements
16:45 I actually recall someone mentioning this directional issue in a moss-based bonemeal farm tutorial, they briefly noted the farm HAD to be built on an east-west orientation or it wouldn’t work properly; Mumbo Jumbo also talks about it some in a video titled “Minecraft redstone has changed” from about 3 months ago. I think he explains it to some extent there, it’s apparently got something to do with a quirk of how the game calculates stuff. I’m a bit fuzzy on the details though, it’s been a little while since I watched either video.
Love the practice of adding autocrafters to turn bones to bonemeal for immediate use. I have a wither skeleton farm and use the bones I get from there to make chests from bamboo.
You can also use a daylight sensor and piston to send signals down wirelessly if you really need precise timing for the item flushing system, tho that's an upgrade you can add when you get the quartz,
cool to see new meaningful improvements made to a classic design. also gotta love calling out the low-effort channels that make youtubes search unusable
This farm is made for Java edition (I have not tested in bedrock, so please don't ask me if it works there or not--you could test it in creative and find out if you want). While the crafters are for 1.21 only, the rest of it should be compatible with many previous versions.

This video is fantastic! I've played this game for years, but I feel that you did a great job teaching me and proving that there's always more for someone like me to learn.
5 minutes in and this is waayy better than any other guide/tutorial I've ever seen
Note: Years ago, when I was new to java [Not Minecraft] I got so many headaches when I would build a farm, and it wouldn't work- this was because of the copy paste thing where they say it works in all versions
you did a great job making this video!
Just found your channel and I can say you come across as one of the most genuine and honest content creators I've seen in a really long time. Up there with Rhett and Link's early days imo. Thank you so much for explaining things, calling out the bs in the real world arena, and just caring about helping and creating something useful. Major props in my book.
My guy you are amazing. This is exactly what I’m looking for! I have definitely learned and am inspired to build my own. Watching the whole vid rn.
Liked and subscribed. May the algorithm bless you 🖖
00:58 I was thinking about this exact thing the other day. I wanted to look up a melon/pumpkin farm design, but I just kept getting the same two options posted by all these channels. I was mainly concerned with the trade off between efficiency, ease of creation, and modularity/footprint. I ended up going with, what I later learned was a pretty inefficient option, but it was good enough to be honest. I just wish I would have known more ahead of time.
Really appreciate you for this reason :D
Love that you acknowledge the history behind these technical farms and pay respects to the backbone of modern farming. Also explaining how these farms work. I already know all of it since I watched a lot of Gnembon and other technical minecrafter's, but its always nice to see content going in-depth about technical farming.
very good in depth video, thank you very much :)
good production value and i love that you credited all the music too, perfect!
This has to be the most informative Minecraft video I have watched.
I’m 3min in and you’re my hero.
As a veteran returning to Minecraft and running my own family and friends server I’ve found it almost impossible to get good clean info about the game like back in the day. All the OG greats seem to have moved on from tutorial content (ilMango, EthosLab, Mumbo Jumbo, TangoTek, Docm77, & Xisumavoid to name a few)
You’re exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’ve even been thinking about getting back into Minecraft content creation to serve the space like you’re doing in this video. Personally, thanks my guy. Can’t wait to keep watching.
Auto-Subbed. ☑️
me too!
i loved how u explained the gold farm, the bartering farm and now u just keep your good content with the mob farm. Usually i dont type in comments and stuff but ur channel deserves the best man, i think Minecraft players will be happy to have you in the community. Thank you and keep on with good stuff, will be joining dc aswell ^^
I like how this covers an umbrella of things from the mobfarm content meta to the actual game mechanics and how each thing works. I don't normally sub to minecraft creators/content, but videos like these with this level of detail and history are worthy of a sub + more.
I will definitely refer to this as a basis for intel on my own farm projects, great job!
Well thought out, supremely well presented, giving credit to the people who came up with all this. Kudos - THIS is what a sublime yt vid should look like!
Interesting video. I vaguely recall Etho doing things with boat clocks back in his Chocolate Island days; truly a pioneer
As someone who has built the og a lot, this is really great info. also, i totally enjoyed just vibing to the music during the build section!
that's a lot of mobs
also good on you for shouting out the original creator who you improved on
Great video as always!
It's clear you put a lot of work into this video; thanks a lot! I especially appreciate the detailed explanations in the first 1/3. :-) Bonus kudos for crediting your sources. Shows that you have integrity.
Exactly what I was looking for. Great video, keep up the good work.
Great editing, tons of detail, extremely informative, and very entertaining. Incredible work, mate!
7:15 I agree with you that itʼs deceptive to talk about raw drop rates mixed together, but Iʼm not sure what the best option is. Because I also donʼt want bones (melon or moss bonemeal farms are remarkably fast) and in general you donʼt know what I find valuable. And I might be able to filter out some or all of the mobs I donʼt like (with very little *effort* but you need either game knowledge or a guide) which affects the rates for all the others.
Thanks for the video! I always do the one you mentioned when searching RUclips and do not realize that, I'm going to start making this rn!
9:39 issues with the signal propagating upward are completely resolved if you use slabs over each dispenser, thereby waterlogging each slab when activated. The slabs will prevent backflow of water when the source is removed; for such a simple solution it is vastly superior to have the signal travel from the bottom upward, especially for early game with no access to elytra and how much it saves on build time for a water elevator, ladder, or otherwise redstone torch tower to toggle the farm all the way at the top.
We need more like this, every major schematic used in description, an explanation why and what and how. aActually a voice to listen too, like the old days with ilmango, ethos, ioser or rays.
I don't Minecraft these days, but I always appreciate the explaination of game mechanics as well as credit sourcing and calling out content farmers. I hope you go far
This may be one of the most comprehensive tutorials for a Minecraft farm I have EVER seen.
this man is the goat. calls out, credits, explains mechanics, tutorial,... what more can you ask for? definetly waiting for the bamboo furnace array litematic though. thanks man!
Amazing video, really snappy and well explained!
I really appreciate you involving more reason and theory in this video. it's something I've always felt was missing in youtube's current attention economy
I can't believe you went and improved this much on such an old farm. And in such a simple way too
excellent production quality, damn
can't stop watching this
Super. Informative! I loved learning about this! Thank you!
this is so satisfying because I'd build the farms knowing there's a TON of lost optimization but i didn't know enough about mob mechanics and i was too lazy to research all the hidden tips and mechanics
the one that was most important to me was the signal 2 item filter section
i found it weird that there would be so much jamming in the hoppers but i just didn't know that item batching could be used in such a way
very neat
Great narration,innovative content and great editing. This one is a winner.
14:32 “we all know how useless small things can be” is wild without context
As someone who only recently started catching up on mc content, I really appreciate the history lesson you threw into the intro of this video.
You seem like a person with a lot of integrity and that's unfortunately rare, really appreciate you!
A member of my Discord community recommended this to me, and I am glad they did! The insights about RUclips search and users rehashing the same farm designs explained a lot to me. Because I have posted lots of questions, trying to understand things, and gotten no real answers.
When I built an iron farm I took what little I knew and the facts that Logical Geek Boy explained, and made my own design. I wanted to understand the various aspects of the farm. I never tried to do that with a mob farm, but you have explained things very well here, and now perhaps I will.
Thank you for all your work here. If you ever feel like wasting an afternoon, perhaps take a look at my iron farm design and let me know what I did right and what I did wrong? I am happy with it and the rates it produces, but I would love to make it better!
Love what you're doing. Few years ago when I was really into Minecraft, I had run into so many youtube channels that just copied other youtubers or stole their designs and it was so disheartening. Especially as some of the main channels I watched were the technical youtubers like Gnembon and Ilmango, just having their designs stolen with no credit. The copy pasted clickbaity "per version" ones were getting really annoying too. Such to the point where trying to search for the originals kept leading to pppular low effort tutorials I had to sift through just to find what I was looking for.
The amount of effort you put into your videos are great too and highly appreciated. I already know most of the things explained, but I still gush over hearing people talk about it and it's one of my most favorite things about the community.
Not to mention the idea of expanding the spawn platform area by including non-spawn blocks in the center when you were talking about spawn velocity. It was one of the most obvious yet big brained answers I probably never would've thought of. I haven't played Minecraft in over a year, but this is the kind of stuff that keeps me up to date with the game. Cheers.
I like that you go over all the mechanics first, those are some great optimizations. I never would have thought to put the farm in the desert to reduce rotten flesh drops and increase everything else.
congrats on the video taking off! I am hoping to see more like it
@@MCSkyMage thanks!
This is seriously the best mob farm ive ever built, it was so worth it TYYYYY!!!!
This reminded me that about two years ago I modified gnembon's design as well to turn it into my primary gunpowder source, I set up the farm almost touching the ocean, ran a water tunnel into a column and my killing platform made the spawn sphere work perfectly to my favor. I also used the usual 1 hit height drop + looting and made sure to put glass blocks in certain parts of the farm to remove spiders from the equation.
Ironically, when I tried also putting trapdoors on the ceiling to only let creepers spawn, the gunpowder per hour rate went down, so I had to leave skeletons and zombies spawn as well....
28:10 So, for those who want to quickly know the material costs for these crafted components:
If my math is off, feel free to correct me!
Iron: 210 (hoppers) + 39 (buckets) + 1 (flint and steel) =
3 stacks + 58 (big storage)/3 stacks + 18 (cheap storage)
Stone: 21 (comparators) + 9 (repeaters) = 30 (Note: just so you know how much cobblestone to smelt)
Cobblestone: 77 (dispensers) + 66 (observers) + 21 (comparators) + 9 (repeaters) =
2 stacks + 45
Redstone: 28 (dust) + 11 (dispensers) + 22 (observers) + 8 (redstone torches) + 7 (comparators) + 3 (repeaters) =
1 stack + 35
Quartz: 11 (observers) + 7 (comparators) =
18
Required wooden planks: (NOTE: use the sticks remaining on the torches/comparators/repeaters on the dispensers)
16 (pressure plates) + 4 (redstone torches) + 10 (Comparators) + 3 (Repeaters) + 24 (trapdoors) + 10 (fences) + 10 (boats) + 18 (dispensers) + 912 (big storage chests)/720 (cheap storage chests) =
15 stacks + 48 (big storage)/12 stacks + 48 (cheap storage)
In logs:
3 stacks + 60 (big storage)/3 stacks + 12 (cheap storage)
How many of the planks you turn into chests:
big storage: 9 stacks (chests) + (5 stacks + 16) (hoppers)
cheap storage: 7 stacks (chests) + (4 stacks + 16) (hoppers)
How many of the planks you turn into sticks:
8 (redstone torches) + 21 (comparators) + 6 (repeaters) + 4 (fences) + 33 (dispensers) = 1 stack plus 8
How many sticks you turn into redstone torches:
Redstone torches: 8 (redstone torches) + 21 (comparators) + 6 (repeaters) = 35
Torches: Will be like 1 log + 6 coal for 24 torches
String: 22 (ladder scaffolding) + 92 (building block scaffolding) + 33 (dispensers) = 2 stacks + 19
(Note: abandoned mineshafts are a quick way to get string, if you don't mind breaking cobwebs)
Bamboo: 2 stacks + 3 (ladder scaffolding), 8 stacks + 40 (building block scaffolding)
Ladders: 2 stacks + 26 planks
I started playing in 2020 and it was a jungle to get into with all those fake videos and stolen designs (at that time especially from Shulkercraft). I did learn though, as I got so addicted to Minecraft, and today I'm a MC RUclipsr myself - I actually found my dream education as an Electronics Technician through Minecraft, since I found that I was pretty neat at Redstone. You got a new sub! 🤘
(PS. Your subtitles says GNIMBOM instead of gnembon. 😅)
And the G is silent (in gnembon). 😉
genuinely the best mc toutorial channel on yt rn, you will get large
Thank you for the intensely detailed video! It really helps to explain the *why* of the design.
Small criticism: the sound is unlistenable around 32:17, almost like its static. Might want to do a double check on your music choice because it gets a bit painful at points.
@@RosyEos the music was fine, until the open source artist decided to not honor their free use agreement and started to take my ad revenue. RUclips has a feature to remove the song only, and apparently it works terribly and sounds like static, which is what you see there. So I will be trying to mute the audio from that segment entirely when I can after the holidays
Damn im impressed about the spawning platform improvement. That’s nice. Everything is well thought. There is still room to make the traditional mob farm ever so slightly better!
@@PotatoCraft_TMC from one spud to another, thanks, I appreciate it!
I like your presentation style.
You got a sub.
And i will make sure my kids watch your videos too.
absolutely amazing video, good explanations and thanks for calling out those 2 channels, they've been bugging me for ages, youtube recommended me those before the good ones like these
thank you SO much for making this video. I used to play minecraft java a lot 5-6 years ago, and since then not really kept up to date with updates and stuff. I recently returned to minecraft, and it's actually my first time playing Bedrock, so I've been having trouble finding a minecraft guide that wasn't....aimed at a different demographic. I've gotten spoiled with the quality of niche Destiny 2 youtubers, and it's been difficult to find similar youtube creators lol
yeah i just watched all of one minecraft mob farm guide even thought im not even currently playing minecraft lmao... the video was just that good to watch, thanks.
@@extremewq Glad you liked it, and thanks!
Gnembon is missed as a creator, but so appreciated as part of the Mojang team. Quality of life updates come and we see his signature in some of them.
Thank you potato_noir, for building onto his great foundation
One little note because I'm at the point where you talk about it right now - for an upwards propagating signal you can just waterlog a slab or fence or similar with the dispenser and you won't have the issue of repeatedly firing the upper observers because the water can't flow back in.
16:55 it's probably directional for the same reason that certain redstone machines are directional
Speaking of RUclips not recommending correctly .. I've been looking for this video for a week and it was uploaded two weeks ago. To know that this video exists now when I've searched for it is jarring.
A super smelter can be pretty much replaced by a carpet duper, save that extra bone meal for a sugar cane farm, mix with that gunpowder for some easy automated fireworks farm. Which if you are on end game you pretty much need.
I feel like to sync the boat clocks you could keep only the bottom one and use a trapdoor, scaffolding and one observer to carry a redstone signal all the way to the top to trigger the flushers. The platform would be quite large to run repeaters to delay flushing. In my opinion, mining enough redstone for a few repeaters probably takes as much time as 2-3 tries of syncing that boat clock, minus the headache.
Awesomene farm! Definitely will be building in my new world after starting over at the beginning of the year.
this guys dedication is crazy, wow!
Much respect for how diligently this video was made. Although Im on bedrock, I still find all of this fascinating. Hope something like this is found for bedrock soon
This is exceptionally good video and an amazing tutorial. Bravo! Keep doing this :)
I love this video, i saw it at 3AM while doing homework and it changed my life
Now that Ilmango is off Id gladly watch your videos en mass. i subscribed from this video! Keep up the passion sir! Farming and redstone
really good describtion of all mechanics if i understand it everybody does ^^ good job
for sending the signal upwards, you can just use a slab or other waterloggable block that still leaks water to stop multiple signals,
i feel like for players in the "end game" phase it would be just easier to make a redstone clock (like with hoppers or whatever) instead of the boat clock as well as adding tripwire hooks to the 5x5 drop-hole and hooking that up to the killing area to turn the water off for a brief moment if said tripwire gets triggered, it would make it possible (i think) to build this farm without having to worry about chunk-placement, still an amazing design tho and very thoughtful improvements
16:45 I actually recall someone mentioning this directional issue in a moss-based bonemeal farm tutorial, they briefly noted the farm HAD to be built on an east-west orientation or it wouldn’t work properly; Mumbo Jumbo also talks about it some in a video titled “Minecraft redstone has changed” from about 3 months ago. I think he explains it to some extent there, it’s apparently got something to do with a quirk of how the game calculates stuff. I’m a bit fuzzy on the details though, it’s been a little while since I watched either video.
I like the real guys grinding, putting up the interesting content. Thanks Noir. 😅
This is a great design and a great video! Will definitely try this out.
Love the practice of adding autocrafters to turn bones to bonemeal for immediate use. I have a wither skeleton farm and use the bones I get from there to make chests from bamboo.
Simply with naming your sources for what you adapted, you got a new subscriber in me (^^)
You can also use a daylight sensor and piston to send signals down wirelessly if you really need precise timing for the item flushing system, tho that's an upgrade you can add when you get the quartz,
cool to see new meaningful improvements made to a classic design. also gotta love calling out the low-effort channels that make youtubes search unusable
