I wonder how 1.14 is going. Hopefully we get a status update soon, I'm so excited to play with all the new mechanics.

Turns out, when you properly avoid low risk detection, you can get insane loot. My shulker farm is 3x as good as I thought it was. 3x shells per kill and a spark per kill and either a head or an elytra. Woo!

Eyender just "Ender-warped" me over the void. Thanks.

Hmmm, so it seems enraged mobs don't trigger cheap hit detection from trapdoors blocking them. However, enraged shulkers will sometimes still try to shoot through them? Seems kinda buggy. Still working out how it works exactly.

Anyone know if theres a rule against RNG manipulation on EMC? Gonna try to do some tests with that later today.

I've already accepted that I'm probably going to have endgame spoiled for me before I watch it. I'm still at college and won't be able to see it for another like 3 weeks.

Just updating my status to push the endgame spoiler status out of the front page. Don't mind me.

I've come up with a super easy, 2-3 minutes of AFKing per day to get ~1 free Shulker Box and 1 free elytra per day. Anyone can do it. I've decided to make this information public in support of the tiny EMC technical community. I'll put a thread with the details out tomorrow.

So, here's what I've been able to figure out about enraged spawn mechanics. They work on a spawn timer per player and per mob (serverwide) (already known). However, for this timer to choose to actually spawn, they don't spawn solely based on random ticks. ---Click for more--->

Currently working on decoding the spawn mechanics of enraged mobs. If all goes well, expect today's mechanic of the day to be about that!

EMC Mechanic of the day: Due to how enraged mob teleportation is coded, enraged enderman will teleport into spaces that are actually too small, (2 blocks tall), and suffocate themselves. Good for sorting endermen by enraged status!

I can’t wait for 1.14! So much cool new stuff to play with, some old mechanics are gone so we have the fun of problem-solving new ways to do stuff, and most of all the scaffolding blocks are awesome!

Today's Abusable EMC mechanic of the day: "Cheap Hits" for risk detection are based on how many hits, not on how cheap the hit was. Also, environmental damage doesn't appear to count for risk detection. Get enraged mobs low from fall damage, then hit them once or twice cheaply.

It appears that if you crush an enraged shulker with a piston and it has no valid teleport locations, then it disappears? Like doesn’t die but just despawns. Curse you aikar and your foresight in preventing enraged mob farms!

Today I broke the forums! See krysyy's recent status update https://empireminecraft.com/members/krysyy.8437/. "Small isolated incident" refers to me finding a way to kill threads :P

Tried to make an automatic enraged shulker farm using the enraged shulker spawn mechanics and the shulker teleport mechanics. Shulkers strangely completely stopped spawning though, no idea why. I'll get this working eventually and then free shulker boxes for all!

PSA: many difficulty 10 mobs will run at you with disregard for their own safety as soon as they spawn. Could make a super easy and efficient pigman-style farm like this, for example with endermen.

Does anyone know the spawning conditions of enraged shulkers? Is it random or is it only at fortresses? Also, do they spawn periodically, or only on generation?

Automatic clickers aren’t allowed to click faster than 3 times per second, so does that mean I’m breaking the rules if I paid someone to sit at my desk and click really fast? :P
