No worries MHG, thanks for being honest.

In other news. I've got the first phase of the XP farm sorted. Once you arrive on the platform, use the ladders down or use the water drop next to it. Most enderman only need 1 or two punches to kill.

There's a design flaw that can cause the pistons up top to be stuck. I'm working on a new system that will reset these. Just need to work it out. Other upgrades will include additional spawning tiers and hoppers at the bottom to collect goodies but I'll need a huge amount of slime balls to make the next tier (need 44 slime blocks per tier). 9 slimeballs per block... so yeah.

I also want some way of getting them all to be in a one block gap. Someone used a Ghast on a minecart to push them into a hole but that's going to take some planning.

I still need the bedrock removed from my drowning pool - the layer it is at the moment would become hoppers, and then under them a chest, so it need to be dug out 2 blocks deep at least.

Bedrock removed from under entire trap except for the very last layer: I've replaced it with dirt (via the /fill command), and included a chest with a few hoppers. That should give you 4 blocks deep that you can dig.

Knock yourself out ;-)

Sweeet!

I've added an enchanting table and the 15 bookshelves to the end XP trap. I'm also wondering if anyone knows of a way to be able to move all the endermen into a block that's only one wide. That way, you could just set TNT next to them and boom. Instant xp. Someone used a ghast to be able to push them down a hole, so perhaps that could work but it seems like quite a hassle to move a ghast from the nether into the end.

I've made changes to the endermen system up top, so now it doesn't get stuck/stalled. I'll also be adding additional tiers, time and resources permitting. I have enough resources for at least one more tier.

Just had a thought. Maybe a piston system, like some of the piston elevator designs could work? Instead of popping out and pushing up, it could push out and push left/right.

I don't understand how you guys feel comfortable with cheating bedrock out but you feel compelled to make complicated xp farms/item farms rather than just cheating stacks of items in. Also at the same time feeling queasy about a mob spawner being in aforementioned farms.

Seems very arbitrary in terms of what is yucky cheating and what isn't to an outsider! Like I would have thought okay they just want to do it within the constraints of the game in survival mode but then with the editing out bedrock stuff I'm like what is their goal?

Bedrock isn't flat and can be a number of blocks high (3/4 perhaps). Rince had already spent a large amount of time preparing the slime chunk, only to realise that the lower levels were not suitable. Instead of spending hours to start from scratch, its much easier to just knock out some of the unnecessary bedrock and utilise the space it occupies. There are mods out there that makes the bedrock flat (1 block high) but currently, we are unable to mod the realm, so this seems like a good compromise.

yeah - and TBH I didn't need the gift of the hoppers... I was prepared to manuf them myself...

but the slime trap is done except for
a) top layer needs a bit more channelling out
b) the outer wall into the ravine needs completing
c) the inner staircase needs removing

The collection area could do with beautification not at least it is now functional (thanks crocos!) now the bedrock has gone... There's a chest sunken into the ground - that is where the slime balls will appear. The hoppers work (tested by chucking stuff into the drowning pool), but as of completing it, I haven't had a slime spawn so I haven't seen their death in action

MHG dies so much. Often it's falling from a high place. Does he know about holding the shift key to stop falling off blocks AB?

I have no idea, I'll check

He's a kid though, he has more fun just running around and making simple structures and watching you guys doing all this epic grownup shit (and helping when he can, you wouldn't believe how chuffed he is when you guys get him to be manual labour).

also - slime trap is working well - can be a bit slow. Best place to stand is right at teh back, at helps attract teh slimes into the pool. 23 blocks of slime waiting for the projects that need it

looks like might have a zombie spawner in the next chunk along from the slime pit... was trying to observe what was going on inside it, but one of those fucking midget zombies got out thru my peep holes and almost took me out before I knew what was happening!

Anyways, further investigation required
(Do we want an XP grinder there?)

FS showed me his spider spawner - we converted it to a drowning pool... source of string

FS, no eyes though - just checked the wiki, eyes only from player killed spiders

Yeah I just noticed that too after wondering why only silk was appearing. It's fine though, I have a looting sword, so if I need lots of eyes, I can put in a trap door and destroy a few of them that way. Thanks for your help.

I've made some revisions to the end XP farm. Now all enderman should be a 1 punch kill. Next plan is to add a few more tiers. Then to bring in a ghast from the nether to push all of them into a single kill tube.

Getting the ghast in there will require some effort.

Will involve capturing a ghast in the nether, which requires some effort, then using a minecart to push from overworld to end portal, then to use a rail system to move it to the xp farm.

I really, really want to see this in action!

Question: Does the ghast despawn?

I would suggest this:

/summon Ghast ~ ~1 ~ {CustomName:"Bob the Friendly Ghast",CustomNameVisible:1,ExplosionPower:0,Attributes:[{Name:generic.attackDamage,Base:0}],Invulnerable:1,PersistenceRequired:1,Silent:1,Riding:{id:"MinecartRideable",Inv ulnerable:1}}

But that'd be cheating

Yep. Can nametag any Mob: Friendly or otherwise. Once nametagged, they won't despawn.

Also mobs that can pick things up OTHER than endermen, you can give them an object (EG: block of dirt) and they won't drop the dirt or despawn (so skeles, zombies, ZPMs)

Tamed mobs don't despawn.

Mobs that spawned from being bred don't despawn. No idea if mobs that you breed with other mobs despawn or not. (Pigs, Cows, Mooshrooms, Cats, Dogs, Sheep, etc)

How do you get close enough to nametag it? When you nametag it does it keep attacking you? It's a whole new world!

Ah yes, the power of being an OP.

I'd probably want to do this legit but if you can break some bedrock in the nether (roof), would make my life easier. Saves me having to enderpearl glitch through it and then do the tree trick to break the bedrock.
