Gold Farm Building Guide – Pigmentus

October 1, 2015 by community 1 Comment

We built a public gold farm recently that we call Pigmentus, and I’ve been getting asked how to make it. You asked; I answer.

I recommend going 96 blocks up in the air. Why? Simple. You won’t have to deal with slabbing, lighting or flooding the surrounding area for 96 blocks in every direction from the farm’s edges to control the entity count. You should also build this farm 1024 overworld blocks away from any other portal. Unless you understand the mechanics of making a perfect portal match/link. That is beyond the scope of this tutorial. Google it. Point being, don’t build this farm next to your base’s main nether portal. The next time you come through it from the nether, you might wind up inside your gold farm with an army of angry piggies.
