May World Update - Cart Ladders and BioFactory

[PRoDiiGYox]

Does this still work in 1.1? 

[k1nuta]

Is this world still available to download?

[biancaj2311]

I would also like to know whether ladders would work instead of signs. 2 ppl have asked and no-one answered. Maybe no-one has tried ladders?

[ferrous45]

does this work in 1.8?

[seaninboise]

I made this but not nearly as many mobs spawn for me as you had. Plus a lot somehow live even though the first floor is 26 blocks high and the rest go to the top.

[22Videogameaddict]

whats the point of the mining facility?

[sleeplesseye]

This is an awesome mob tower. It seems like they've finally mastered the art of the quick kill mob tower, to the point that anyone with a bit of time can throw a pretty good one together. It would be especially powerful with the building technique mentioned in the YT video "Minecraft - Build Large Structures With No Materials", which uses just lava and water to build tall walls. Could speed up the speed of building really major mob traps immensely!

[cowyeah]

This is awesome! I just finished mine and it works pretty well but how do you keep it from clogging up with spiders?

[1234jace1]

Awesome

[GovernmentAgentJym13]

@MrMdierksheide So I should use a network of fences to hold up the water?

[dicky5678]

i built this monster trap in my SMP. But it seems its doesnt work so well as the monsters only spawned a little in the trap area. There is a large cave under the trap and i light up the cave. But it still doesnt work effectively. And i find that monsters spawned less in the trap if you are close too the tower. What is the problem? It is related to the cave or the distance between the player and the tower. Can you give me the answer?? plz

[maxpainfu1]

@dicky5678 Monsters will not spawn within approx 30m of you. So you don't want to be too close to the spawn.

The area around the player the monsters CAN spawn in is 144m from the player; this means that you have to clear out ALL caves within 144m of the spawn if your collection is underneath it.

The spawner in the video is in a place where there are almost no caves at all; that's how he got such high spawns.

[feAr636]

@dicky5678 Im having the same problem with smp

[GovernmentAgentJym13]

My mobs are falling ~30 blocks and about 50% aren't even recieving damage. Does anyone know why this might happen?

[planeteater1138]

@GovernmentAgentJym13- probably your water flow what I did was let the mobs fall to the bottom then dug an additional 35 blocks down with a 3 by 3 hole and had the water stop there they fell and most died *(95% im guessing) then had a single lava trap for the occasional survivor. I went with three platforms and have 6 floors and I am not even 1/3 of the way down and getting 10000 an hour.

[MitchellMcMaugh]

How many blocks height do mobs need to fall to death?

[tomelliott9]

@MitchellMcMaugh its 23 blocks for players but im not sure for mobs, 23 seems way too high

[maxpainfu1]

What is the point of having water on a fence?

[mattboy9993]

I have no idea what's going wrong with my trap... There doesnt seem to be any mobs spawning on the floors. It's pitch black and I've tried on Normal and Hard. I'm at a total loss...

[kook333]

I tried to make my our biofactory but most of the mobs aren't dying on impact. They fall from higher than 23 blocks but its not working.

[tjb0607]

Will ladders work instead of signs?

[AgeMarkus]

"Oh, yeah, science. Well obviously, you need a lot of... Science... Oh, you meant signs! That's cool too."

[uni4dfx]

Hmm it seems like the platforms and spacings are 3-3-2-3-3

Why did you only make a 2-block wide gap in the middle but 3 blocks on the edges?

[tomelliott9]

how do they die when they land in water?

[ratscrew]

builld it on a large ice lake and it will run good day or night

[jacobite19]

One thing I noticed with your minecart ladders is that you don't need to spam right click going up. Just hold right click.

[25MineCrafterX5]

How did you do the floor? i have most of it done i just need help please and thanks!!

[22Videogameaddict]

how do you make large chests?

[Calsendon]

@22Videogameaddict Place two standard chests next to eachother.

[plopher]

"Its super effective!"

[Mattm0ta]

How many floors are in the mob tower. Thanks in advance.

[testaccount9855]

@Mattm0ta 12

[ownsuallownsuall]

@Mattm0ta it says in the video 12

[ilee9624]

Can I have your world seed breh?

[iji12]

Can I have your voice?

[MonsoonHD]

tut please

[MultiMonitor]

Why does it need to be Mine free?

[indypatriotfan]

@MultiMonitor Mobs will spawn in caves so then you'd need to light up said caves if you want your trap to be highly efficient

Easier just to build where there are no caves that need lighting

[kook333]

Can you do a tutorial or post instructions on how to build your mob trap.

[Valendros]

nowhere near the fastest, but still a good design.

[Tulljfette]

3:28 ZALGO

[Jesusability]

You could have used open trapdoors.

[durkkk]

With pistons you could add lights instead of turning mobs off everytime so that the Mobtrap will not make your game lag.

[seekohler]

@dcoulter Yes. It still works the same.

[dcoulter]

Does this biofactory still work in 1.7?

[aapjeaaron]

a wild mob appears.

you use mob trap.

6:05

[kerbertox]

could you use trapdoors instead of signs?

[TheTWH9]

This is insane. I'm pretty sure the mobs have to fall 28 blocks before they'll die. So if we assume the tower is 17 by 17, you can't make the first floor till after level 28, so say, 29, and there are twelve floors that are two blocks high... you math people out there figure out the dimensions. I hate math, and I just took another final at college so I'm done for the day.

[gungengod]

Couldn't you have at least included dimensions? It seems to be 17x17, but at what height I have no idea.

[randomrandom15]

all that from only 12 floors!?

[Cherrybloodsyrup]

Hey seekohler! I made a minecart elevator in Beta 1.6.6 but I'm having a lot of trouble getting out at the top. If I click the minecart I simply fall through all the minecarts to the bottom of the elevator.

[kevjmalc]

@Cherrybloodsyrup I had the same trouble. you have to be facing the direction that has the ladder underneath it to jump out

[Relyt22]

Google "transparent texture pack minecraft" for an easier way to detect where caves are. It basically makes dirt and stone mostly transparent except for the outer edges of the block, and because of the way the game's graphics work, makes everything invisible until you get to an open space, in which you will see the wireframe of a cave plus all the other blocks that are not set to transparency.

[animalntaz]

I've tried making a water collection under my own version of a Gravity Mob Trap, but I didn't make it high enough that more of them survived. I have to redo it any way from a backup world file, since my game froze up and world got deleted on its own.

[SmokingLiquid]

i build this in my world and there are about 3 mobs spawning per day..even lighted up all caves i could find..

[Skopji]

Trying to think of the mob spawner. Could using trap doors work the same as signs? If you put all the trapdoors in the up position?

[trolatrolatrola]

How did you make that floating island?? looks so natural

[xpericfilms]

how many blocks are there between your lowest spawn floor and the landing zone?

[Graviteh]

Why does the area have to be devoid of caves? Can't someone just light everything up? :P

[xpericfilms]

@Graviteh you can, it's just easier not to.

[Ahoydizzle]

Please upload your world file, I'd love to look around for myself

[Natendo64]

Why didn't you just bring the materials for the signs to the top and build them there?

[Darklink224]

I agree, upload your world save please =D

[rsjac]

I was thinking of doing something like this but on my SMP.. Was wondering if hatches work the same as signs for the purposes of the mobs thinking it is a block? then I could have 11 floor of straight spawning, but with redstone activated hatches on the bottom floor. So I'm not putting out items all the time and lagging my server.

[DeTaPix]

no life

[MinecraftSkins]

very cool

[lethorpey]

I Love How Its JUST a green rectangle across the screen

[noirmakesvideos]

You have a great commentary voice, just saying :)

[IronManExtremis]

I know this is probably stupid but how are you putting your items in the chest with one click? Is it a mod or just a key shortcut I don't know of. Thanks.

[noirmakesvideos]

@IronManExtremis Shift + click, new feature :)

[IronManExtremis]

@noirmakesvideos Thanks I thought I had heard something about that but forgot so thanks!

[jippofarmer]

@IronManExtremis shift click

[Kharkiv85]

That's a really efficient trap, I built the bahemoth 3 and it works great, but this seems like my next one if I create a new world.

[lanuwen]

It's super effective :D

[TheMinecraftMonsters]

oh yeah well i got to watch him build all of this :D

beat that!

[Zukken]

Amazing work man. I'll have to get started on this

[spineshank600]

wonderful, spent 5+hrs gathering mats and build time for a diff mob trap, and this one is 100x better. thanks for the video!

[Scrodumable]

Does it work as well if I used ladders instead of signs? Also, what is the minumum height that the mob must fall for them to be able to die?

[666angelguy666]

Could you upload your world file? xD

[seekohler]

@666angelguy666 Done. :) Check my channel for the tour video. The download link is in the description.

[OhGodItHurts]

why not just use the ingame commands?

[TheMinecraftMonsters]

@OhGodItHurts he plays all legit

[OhGodItHurts]

@TheMinecraftMonsters abusing glitchs is legit? 

[Cherrybloodsyrup]

@OhGodItHurts What glitches? There are no glitches in this video.

[OhGodItHurts]

@Cherrybloodsyrup IDK maybe the minecart ladders? maybe using a third part tool to scout your game world to find places where there are no caves? in order to farm the living shit out of everything.

[Cherrybloodsyrup]

@OhGodItHurts Minecraft ladders are glitches BUT Mojang doesn't remove glitches that help players; ergo, they are features of the game now. And the second thing, that's not even a glitch, it's a third party tool.

[OhGodItHurts]

@Cherrybloodsyrup like they didn't remove water ladders? wut? a glitch is a glitch and a 3rd party tool is worse if you're claiming you did this completely vanila.

[Cherrybloodsyrup]

@OhGodItHurts Water ladders still work. You just need to use a different method. Vanilla means no mods right? That's not a mod, it's a 3rd party tool. And he still collected all those building blocks by hand, meaning legit.

[robloxperson23]

Use boats

[RixBriann]

@robloxperson23 no

[TheMinecraftMonsters]

@robloxperson23 boats slide into the wall eventually

[Johnmorrisbeck]

What you do is put lava under it, and leave it open when you're not collecting, so that it can't just build up when you're away. When you want to collect, you just place the block back there, and stand under it again.

[fuffluns]

6:06 seekohler used mob grinder. It's super effective!

[DanielKinghorn]

Could you not use boats instead of minecarts? It would cost alot less.

[seekohler]

@DanielKinghorn Boats don't stay in place. Even if you are very careful, they eventually slide around and get stuck in the wall.

[frenchy641]

how big is it

[dhernandez5623]

amazing!!!!!

[Unaplix]

Awesome!

[frenchy641]

can you give your download map or a scematic

[nicholaswright2006]

"Super Effective"

thumb'd up

[joranderaaff]

I've heard that cave's don't really matter. This is because the mob-spawning happens in a random chunk. if there is no room for the mob, it won't spawn somewhere else. The only thing I can think of is the maximum numbers of mobs that can exist at a given time. But as they die so quickly in this trap I don't think that should be a problem. Correct me if I'm wrong by the way!

[snati4]

@joranderaaff caves do matter, because the mob limit isn't per chunk, it's per loaded chunks.

[red3yz]

@joranderaaff if you eliminate dark areas like caves, then mobs can only spawn in your (dark) trap.

[jutley93]

This is really cool, but I have a question: will this work all the same if you use ladders instead of signs? It's far less wood.

[w00dYd3luXe]

@jutley93 no it doesnt work

[ukystout]

So mobs spawn in places even above ground ? Wow I did not know that!

[ral008]

@ukystout areyoufuckingkiddingme.jpg

[doglessliberal]

@ukystout "Above ground" is relative. Mobs will spawn in any area that has a light level below a certain threshold. This is why mobs spawn on the surface at night. This is also why you should thoroughly light up any structures you build!

[mackapoot]

awesome video cko
