I do not want to discourage ideas, but I am confused with the idea of rare witches because in 1.7 Mojang wanted to make them more common, which is why they were added pretty much everywhere in the wild, at about the spawn rate of endermen. I now see them spawn randomly in EMC wild. So I'm confused with the keep them rare statement. Sorry.
Spawn Only on Netherbrick items (To simulate fortress like behavior). Players could then make their own fake fortresses and spawn them Check light levels too?
Rephrase- to keep them from becoming ridiculously easy to farm. Allowing massive witch farms would probably be bad.
I like the way you think.... but the work I gotta do by end of month deadlines isnt going to wait on me
The difference between the randomly spawning witch and a witch hut is that only witches could spawn in the witch hut, making it ideal to farm
being a habitual witch farm user, i say do honeymoon, and while yall moon honeys work on dragon tombs. witchhuts can wait you can make a large darkroom and get a decent amount of witches atm
But Its not ever going to be the same as a witch hut because all the other mobs in the room take up the mobcap. And in all honesty I would rather have the fix the witch huts before dragon tombs because then dragon tombs will then need fixing leaving witch huts longer
darkrooms, and witchhuts both dont rlly take up entcap cause they tend to die as they spawn by falling off a thingy
But you're never going to get the rates of a witch hut in a darkroom because of the possibility of spawning other mobs.
Netherbrick and light levels. Brick so it's still "fortresses" (at least technically, maybe even require certain number of netherbrick blocks in a nearby area) and light levels so people can have their fortresses and not get overrun by random wither skeletons without needing to have short ceilings.
Are you talking a bought nether fort's that are in 1.7 chucks or pre 1.7 one's? Mine that is pre 1.7 is not spawning any wither skeletons or blase. Iv'e tried doing what made them spawn before 1.7, logging out and back in, walking away to unload the chunk's then back. but its not working for me.
smp9 And I just went out to a 1.7 nether fort and they spawn wither skeletons and blase just fine. The fort I found is most excellent for building a wither farm, so besides the extra 6k~7k block travel I don't really mind having to rebuild there. Once we get dragon tomb's that travel distance wont be as long
Mine has not worked correctly since I think 1.6(was last working when we hit 60k members) and 1.7 was the final blow to it
Are we talking about Fortresses or farms now? All the farms I know of on smp3 broke after the 1.6 update. The Fortresses I have visited there and on other servers are fine as long as the original structure has been left intact.
