Hey folks, I'd like to let everyone know about 3 farms that are available to the public on SMP5. They are as follows: 1. A super low budget iron farm using a Ray works design ('Quick Iron Farm'). 2. An all mob farm using a Shulkercraft design ('Minecraft All Mob Farm'). 3. A gold farm that is NOT mine (Halaeon built it). It was in a bit of disrepair and I fixed it up a bit (with help from the helpful Empire admins). All three are easy to get to and function pretty well (I think). For people with Elytra, just get on SMP5, go to the frontier northwest outpost and fly straight west. Here are the coordinates for all three: Iron farm -1000444/63/-999997 All mob farm: -1000408/65/-999952 Gold farm: -1000574/70/-1000017 For people without Elytra and good armor, these farms are still easy to get to safely. There are well lit paths past the 'pumpkin house' that you can take to the base/iron farm. There are well lit tunnels between all the farms and signs in then to help you navigate. There is even a short minecart track between the all mob and gold farms. Lastly, to go directly to the gold farm, there is an ice boat tunnel set up. The entry of which is at coordinates: -1000112/72/-999977. From the NW center, you just have to head west, climb a hill, start down and you are there. Please bring a boat or use & return one in the chests at each end of the tunnel. There is a base near the iron farm and AFK spots set up. Please feel free to use these in a friendly, civilized way, and please do not grief!
I'm testing the yields for the farms. For 30 minutes of AFK directly above the all mobs farm I got: 19 arrows, 16 gunpowder, 12 bones, 16 rotten flesh, 13 strings. Iron farm yields 80 iron bars and 20 poppies in 30 minutes from the AFK spot near the farm. For 30 minutes hacking away at the gold farm (and perodically letting the items drop), I got 12 gold bars, more than 40 swords, 10 stacks of rotten flesh plus 11, and at least 850 nuggets. After smelting and crafting that is 107 gold bars and 3 nuggets plus a bit more than 9 stacks of rotten flesh. I think the gold farm works best with active hacking away with a sword. I used a looting 3 sword with mending and the xp gained kept the sword in perfect shape and increased my XP too.
I have been asked repeatedly about a gold farm on smp5. Wonder if this is what was being asked about. Thanks for posting.
Hey, I've made some improvements to the gold farm so it is now a bit better. In an hour with a looting three sword with mending you should get: 268 gold bars (around 38 stacks of golden nuggets) 32 stacks of rotten flesh 160 golden swords The improvements consisted mostly of adding portals and adding a snowman above the drop area.
This sounds awesome! My hats off to you Sir! Question: any mats you may need to help you do 'more' stuff or which may help you keep on going? Think wild, think... "if I had access to that....", don't think "Yeah, all good, happy to help, don't want to sound greedy". Instead.... humor me (pretty please?!)
Hey everyone, I've significantly upgraded the iron farm to include a drop to a fiery death for the Golems and now 4 pods of villagers (each with a zombie friend). I of course managed to get the heights of the pods off by one in two instances - please just pretend they are all the same height. The AFK spot is now up high directly over the 'pit of death'. If somehow you fall into the pit...no worries...only things taller than a player need fear - AND there is a lever to open an emergency exit! I mention this because the fastest way down from the AFK spot is to just fall into the water below. The rates are up to 870 ingots and 220 poppies per hour. The collection chests are directly below the 'house' there...just go down the stairs, take your first left and go down a few more stairs and there are 2 DC's right there. There is a ladder down to the kill chamber if you are a sadist and like to watch Golem's die. Lastly, I built the house during my 'Polished Diorite' phase. milkyway289 is working on a remodel of the house, however I believe the idea is to keep it open as the work progresses. I had to kill off the cooked chicken farm in the 'basement' due to entity count issues. There is still nearby, an all mob farm, a slime digout, and a the Gold farm by Halaeon that I 'maintain'. My next focus will be to try to contact Halaeon again so I can make some needed changes/upgrades to that farm.
