    To all of you wondering why you are not getting as many mobs it is because he built his high in the air.you could also light up all the caves nearby :)

  • @Ryan-yw7hl
    @Ryan-yw7hl 11 лет назад +8

    The reason you want to build mob traps in the air, is because they are more efficient. There is a maximum number of mobs that can spawn in your area. If you build a mob trap like this on the ground, a lot of the mobs will spawn in the surrounding area, either on the ground outside, or in the caves underground. Which in turn, will reduce the effectiveness of the trap, because there will be less mobs spawning inside of it. Try lighting up the surrounding area, and any caves underground. It'll help

    Yes, mine will have more idle mobs if it is expanded. But I won't expand it. Bigger doesn't mean better. And I don't like to have a huge tower above the base just for mob grinding.
    You won't have more mobs if you expand Etho's grinder. And they will sometimes die inside the grinder without getting out of it.

  • @valhar2000
    @valhar2000 12 лет назад

    That depends on how you play. If you enjoy automation, those resources are great: bone-meal is very useful for making automated farms more effective, and gunpowder is required by many of the popular machine mods to create useful items. These mods often provide items that are much more powerful than enchanted tools in Vanilla MC.
    If you don't use these mods, then yes, bone-meal and gunpowder aren't much use.

  • @MTandi
    @MTandi  11 лет назад +1

    Yes, but you need to light up everything in about 120 block radius in sphere around the grinder if you placed it lower. If you placed it higher, it will just reduce the rates for 1-2%.

  • @MTandi
    @MTandi  12 лет назад

    The tube height doesn't matter as long as you stay within 24 block range from grinder. Otherwise you will have mobs on 3rd floor lowering the rates.
    Actually the best height of tube would be 22-21 block because there are still few blocks of blind area at the third floor, but mobs won't die from that height.

  • @keving6497

  • @Benthepen965
    @Benthepen965 12 лет назад

    You can fit more like 14 layers in an above ground system. You tested it with 5 as per the tutorial but its easily expandable without many more idle mobs. Yours will have far more idle mobs if it is expanded.

  • @Henahax
    @Henahax 12 лет назад

    Maybe you got dark places like caves around. If there are caves around the spawner which are not lit up, mobs spawn there and stay there. There is an maximum of mobs for an area, and if those mobs got a dark place to spawn and stay alive, they will interfere with your grinder.

  • @BowArtist
    @BowArtist 12 лет назад +2

    1712 Blocks, 108 Slabs, 64 Trapdoors, Water and at least 16 torches
    (Blocks for corners not counted)

  • @ptobler1
    @ptobler1 11 лет назад

    If you built it lower than that, you will have to light up the caves within 128 blocks (all directions) of where you will be afking to prevent mobs spawning in the caves instead of the spawner. You would probably still have to do a little lighting if you built it at 160 on a regular world.

  • @MTandi
    @MTandi  11 лет назад

    The 128 height is not the border. They say that lc value that represent highest sub-chunk with non-air block lower the rates because game will have more blocks loaded. I haven't seen the source code so I can't tell in numbers how it changes the spawning probability, but as you see I have extremely good rates at y:160. If it matters then insignificantly, so it's easier to put this baby up high without worrying about the caves.

  • @MTandi
    @MTandi  12 лет назад

    It doesn't matter if people are away or near you. The mob cap must be reached because other players have hostile mobs around. Try it in the morning when no one will be online. If it will still work slow then send me a screen shot via pm.

  • @Benthepen965
    @Benthepen965 12 лет назад

    Isn't this just a classic 8x8 pad designs with slabs and trapdoors? Doesn't seem like it would be very efficient considering you can't stack it more than a few layers high without having tons of idle mobs. I'd like to see a comparison between one of these and a fully stacked Etho design.

  • @MTandi
    @MTandi  12 лет назад

    That is because mob cap is shared between all players in SMP (Read "Notes" section of "Spawn" article at wiki). You can't do anything with it. It's a common problem of grinders that are using natural spawning. Mobs just don't spawn in the grinder - neither pistons nor water can help you to push mobs that aren't exist.

  • @Mandrag0ras
    @Mandrag0ras 11 лет назад

    2/2:
    I believe this is a bug. It's very hard to prove though. There is already a bug that affects mob spawning (MC-2536 and others with different description that are closed as duplicates).
    About my farm: It is built above an ocean, way above the surface so there are no other spawn-valid blocks. Yet without any change to the farm the spawn rate is either very low or zero which makes no sense since there are a lot of blocks valid for spawning in the farm.

  • @lemmetakethatthing
    @lemmetakethatthing 11 лет назад +6

    i came up with a similar idea for a mob farm in beta 1.4 without the trapdoors but with signs and i thought i was unique, but then i checked youtube and saw the exactly same desing as mine

  • @MTandi
    @MTandi  11 лет назад

    Yes, you can just raise the floor 1 block up for this. Only few mobs may die.

  • @MTandi
    @MTandi  12 лет назад

    Yes, it will. But if you make the tube wider, or make it out of glass panes, they shouldn't be able to stick to the wall.

  • @MTandi
    @MTandi  12 лет назад

    What is LC? Maybe you placed lighting near the walls of the grinder. There are some bugs with lighting at high altitude. Download the world file and make sure that you have the same conditions.

  • @theunclave6558

  • @MTandi
    @MTandi  12 лет назад

    I don't get why you mention server population while talking about idle mobs. This structure is meant to be compact and cheap and gives good rates without any pistons. It is designed for AFK item/mob collecting, while player stands below it. If you want to make it work at distances farther than 32 meters from player, you should wait for the next video about it. I will lower the spawning rates, but add a capability to deal with idle mobs.

      @xenonboy3256 6 лет назад +1

      Most mobs do not spawn on slabs and to increase efficiency you need to reduce the places where mobs can spawn that's also why he's done it high up

    • @mayravixx25
      @mayravixx25 5 лет назад +1

      Slabs prevent spiders from spawning, and the reason why each floor is only two blocks high is to prevent endermen from spawning.

  • @MTandi
    @MTandi  11 лет назад

    Describe conditions. Did you place it like I did at y:160 above the ocean? Check the inside, sometimes MCEdit doesn't update lighting properly.

  • @MrCerealKillerMan

  • @MTandi

    You will never close them, so it doesn't matter on what part of the block you attached them. It works in 1.5, but I have an improved version for it, check out the channel.

  • @TheWestAnglian

  • @reson864
    @reson864 11 лет назад

    This will work if you don't start from y:160, but it won't spawn as many mobs unless you light up all dark places in a 120 block radius.

      The slabs prevent spiders from spawning, and they can be annoying because they climb walls.
      Yes, you can use any slab you like.
      Yes, you can add more layers for more loot. But note that to many layers won't work as good anymore because then the mob cap get's filled to quickly.

    1/2:
    I'm sure there is something terribly wrong with Minecraft mob spawning in general. I had Etho's simple mob trap and I was ok with it. But after building panda4994's mob spawn switch, with a lot of minecraft updates meanwhile (1.4.2 -> 1.5.1), even with spawn switch on (i.e. pumpkin mobs teleported to the nether) the spawn was affected terribly. Extremely decreased rate and after a while mobs stop spawning.

    You won't have all these Redstone Tree Farms working without Bonemeal, plus it is the basis for many colorings and can save time to gather colored wool. And it may take ages to dig something big without TNT. You won't need the Chicken farm, because it will also give you tons of arrows. You can live without food farms, because you have rotten flesh. Not to mention the fact that you can gather tools, iron ingots, heads, thread and spider eyes. You must be confusing Minecraft with some other game.

    shouldnt you build under the new build height? it reduces spawn rates if you build abouve it bucause the game has to check more blocks..? btw i dont remember the old nor the new build height...

    Thought I was building an XP farm. Anyone know if this can be re-purposed into an XP farm?

      You could just add 1 layer of blocks at the bottom so the mobs stay alive with minimal health.
      I have it as a toggleable option in the Universal Mob Grinder (Tour & Tutorial) video.
