Minecraft - Tutorial: The Sizzler

[donutglazuur]

@ethoslab can you also use ladders??

[whiteshadow943]

I can't get as many mobs

[BigBobFilms]

I just made this with your mob system on a server and it's working pretty good. The only problem I have is that spiders don't swim up the mobavator. All the other mobs work fine though. Thanks for the good tutorials.

[Gielater]

It works fine for me in SMP, the only problem is that it does not kill spiders for some reason.

[MLGxAPOCALYPS3]

thanks ethos that worked verry well

[MrCubeGuy]

Thank you for this tutorial! I use this in my mob trap

[FarOffNoob]

Etho,

I built everything u hv 4 ur mob system but the mobivator doesnt work. Only zombies swim up. Why is that? If you can, please respond. :D

Thanks,

FarOffNoob

[WhaTSpaYs]

this dont work now in 1.0.0?...

[Kesh789]

@WhaTSpaYs it doesnt get the xp but i dont see why not

[FabianK95]

Hey Etho.

I've build your complete system (spawning area, mobavator, sizzler) on my private server, that runs from my computer. I use it only for me and my brother and the server has 4 Gigs of RAM. No lagg or anything. Problem is: I get almost no drops from the mobs that come up on the server! I loaded the world in Singleplayer and there I get tons of drops. What is that? I think the drops fall down some otherway in Multiplayer than Singleplayer. Any suggestions to help me? Thanks.

[sharper4221]

@FabianK95 It's called SMP Lag :\ not really a way to fix it. Will there could be but.. You would have to simplify your mob system. I know it sucks. :(

[FabianK95]

@sharper4221

That's crap :/ It's kinda useless on servers then...:( Thanks for the info though!

[EotPOverlord]

I remember when this video came out. It blew my mind i didnt think of doing something similar. I think im gonna build thins again :D

[PATUKKAGamePlay]

OMG WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DID ALL THIS WITH in Version 1.0.0 and worked!! OK TIME TO SUBSCRIBE

[Stasenko58]

@PATUKKAGamePlay Good idea!

[Breadbounce]

can i make it without the hostile mob system?

[JacobStar9104]

@Breadbounce Yea, you can use it for anything. Even dig a whole in the ground, leave it opened. Put water going to that sizzler. I turn it around and make the sizzler's lava platform 3 blocks long and put ladders at the end. Then the lava travels 4 blocks but there is only 3, but the ladders make the lava float. Then the mobs touch it and then burn and then there is a stream below the lava and then you can lead the stream to anywhere for the items to sit :)

[killacceleration]

would it be possible to leave the top open but extended upward to allow mobs to fall into it?

[AftermathShady01]

@MrWowzers243 Yes it works, and yes it would if they were on fire, but they're taking danage from lava anyway.

[XXMofoXX16]

how do you get so many mobs!!

[budabob07]

The ladder method also works with spiders, but this is cool

[MrWowzers243]

Does this work in 1.8.1? And won't the water put them out when they stand on it?

[thetwosages99]

MINE WONT SPAWN MOBS PLZ HELP!!!!

[UraharaKisuke02]

if u extend a bit of ur lava pit for 3 long... and put the lava right to the end of the little 3 long tube... u will get a VERY thin layer of LAVA, and this can gives u a higher chance on getting spider items. =D

[Gargox72]

@einri2k Make sure the roof is only 2 high and the mobs can't jump XD

[expected4unexpected]

Wait what this was posted on my birthday!

[ScorpionL2K]

Fucktards thinking endermen are going to ruin it, ENDERMEN DIE IN THE FUCKING WATER!

[oliver200666777]

I need help. ive made my mob trap and it works perfectly, for about 2 minutes,

after around 2 minutes it slows down until eventually nothing is being killed

i know its not mobs spawning else where as i filled in all the caves

with MCedit and im on an island in the middle of a vast ocean so its not that

either. I cant find a solution, any help would be much appreciated :)

[StacheGames]

is there any way to make it work for enderman ?

[TheHenMen]

@StacheGames use hax. bedrock.

[xXHabboStudiosXx]

how about if you build this in mc 1.8 and the enderman takes the roof of you're dundeez

[DerDracoX]

@xXHabboStudiosXx Just use obsidian or furnaces (im not shure if you could use halfslabs they might glitch trough? ) but also they *will* take glass so you have to use blocks they can't take there aswell

[63skyman]

@DerDracoX They dont take glass panes :)

[kikedaniels]

how do that appear mobs for the water ?

[IIOGCII]

@kikedaniels Retard.

[CombatArmsCanada]

This isnt very impressive its prty simple lol

[AlmightyHope]

Hey, Rolf-david sent me here, and got you a subscriber. You might wanna thank him.

[AquaMouse100]

Etho you use sandstone for everything

[IIOGCII]

@AquaMouse100 Sandstone is awesome!

[Liqrit]

How big is the hostile mob spawner underneath?

[creatorofworld]

@Liqrit 50x50 4 6 high

[flowerlizz456]

@Liqrit 30 by 30



[Ghostlyman2]

i have built a mobsystem like in your tutorials. But there are a lot of squids spawning in my upwards tube. And since they can't swim up, they just stay there. Did i do something wrong, or doesn't this matter at all??

[itsmanofpopsicle]

Why not use the spider allowed one?

It would just remove the spiders AND up the efficiency of your trap.

[filmbaKerz]

Oh and how did you get them to spawn inside the trap?

[MrMij96]

@filmbaKerz use a mob elevator

[wwebadgerse]

@filmbaKerz check out the mob system he made

[filmbaKerz]

Lol, most of the time I use something I made up myself called the "Hell Pitt".

Basically you just make hole 3 layers deep, (size doesnt matter) Then use Netherrack to fill the 3rd layer, Break the sides of the pit and replace it with cobblestone so that sand or dirt wont ignite, Use flint and steel to light SOME parts of the nettherack because if you light all the tiles theres a chance you wont be able to pick up loot.

[CombatArmsCanada]

@filmbaKerz i know your trying but that really isnt impressive :/

[vCaNNoNx]

LOL even for the roof he uses sandstone

[Lak878]

is there are way where u can make the peacefull mobs spawn trap

[sideswipe321]

@Lak878

yeah there is he hasn't made a tutorial because he's still making sure it works, as 1.8 patch is coming VERY soon

[tissal]

I just finished your full system, the mobavator/spawn system complete with sizzler and it works. If a new player like me can make it I think anyone can.

[AmethystKT]

@tissal Yeah it's easy. I'm not a new player but it's the first mob system I've made.

[dABiGfATLol]

can u just make the roof 1 or 2 blocks higher? wt will happen then?

[MrMinerdog]

i dont know how they get up

[ironmam48]

@MrMinerdog when mobs are in water they go to the top of the water

[MrMinerdog]

i want 2 see where the monster spawn (the underground)

[Speedyaj3121]

Hehe, Thanks ^.^ Works perfectly, although i do feel cheap for copying your system :s

[Keviths]

o__o Somehow obsidian was made inside .__. now I have to go find diamonds

[sideswipe321]

@Keviths

If you're making mob systems and still haven't found diamonds you need to dig boy, i already found 233 diamonds lol

[iCall911now]

does this still work or patched?

[razerburst]

@iCall911now what the fuck do you mean? water and lava would never get patched, it's not a glitch lol

[iCall911now]

@razerburst i mean a patch make the loots fly up now and dosent just fal down on the floor

[razerburst]

@iCall911now ooh, no the mob die THEN they drop the loot.

[iCall911now]

@razerburst

Do any of the Drops burn _-

[XxProsAreLamexX]

@iCall911now String does. Others come out fine.

[HNrosdi]

Wow! how do you get many mobs???

[GrenadeApple3]

About 100% of my drops burn. :L

[GrenadeApple3]

I have a 42x42x6 mob system and this is so great!

[NoMoreGoodNamesLeft9]

@GrenadeApple3 I made 4 mob towers that go from bedrock to the height limit and connected them to the mobivator and the sizzler. The amount of drops i get is INSANE!!!

[razerburst]

@NoMoreGoodNamesLeft9 do you mean you made a mobvater from bedrock to the height limit?

lier, they would despawn.

[NoMoreGoodNamesLeft9]

@razerburst they don't, try it for yourself!

[TheFailbrid]

For the cover.. dont be a dumbass like me and use wood.

[TheMajesticWaffle]

@TheFailbrid Haha

[XGamesPlayerX]

You are a fuckin genious!

[philulrich]

This made me LOL

[bob11363]

god me and friend made this and we made a 75x75x10 and trust me we got like i think he said 20000 per hour lol thx man we didnt no how to kill them anyways! =D thx again

[CamouflageCow]

My 50x50 mob system has so many mobs that they get clogged in my mobavator

[sharper4221]

Noticing some string drops!

[KrisdashPaul]

Hey Etho, as soon as I built this a Squid spawned in it and sat in the middle at the bottom xD I'm thinking I can change it so they drop out of the bottom into lava; just wondered if you'd ever befallen this tragedy?

[LeapingDodo]

spider filter?

[Namnam54]

Deos it often destroy the string from the spiders?

[unknown668899]

The loots most of the time get burnt and i dont have much loots when they die. even though theres alot of mobs spawning . help ? :(

[iMinePixels]

i made you're mob system and it works great rhanks so much now all i have to do is clear the caves :P

[Watashiwazetsubou]

in mine some of the mobs get stuck and it doesnt spawn spider or creepers mainly skeletons

[Muskar2]

So the reason they stay in the lava is because they're trying to swim up from the lava?

[Miny000000]

Seeing the version number in the top left is so weird now..

[Bigpenquin12]

can u start my scratch

[Bigpenquin12]

dang look at all those goodies

[Bigpenquin12]

i wanno make it

[Malacsult]

hey, Etho, is this design works for animals? especially for pigs?

[Velociwrapture]

@Malacsult i kno im not etho but no it doesnt...they crawl out of the opening for loot

[TheNewestNobleMember]

Hey Ethos Love your videos by the way i made this on my modivator and none of the loot come out of the mobs anything i can do to fix this?

[brbrainerd]

@EthosLab Can you recommend a mob killing system that will work with your mobivator but doesnt destroy string? A lot of the systems ive seen in other vids are broken in the current version (1.7.3).

[r2a1o1]

@brbrainerd you could drown the the mobs

[KevieProductions]

Hey Etho, I really need help! My mobs aren't making it up all the way in the mobavator and they keep drowning! I have only 4 signs placed halfway through it for air, but they keep drowning! What do I do?!

[r2a1o1]

@KevieProductions add more signs, and remember that mobs can't swim up unless its all source blocks so only putting source blocks at the top and having it fall down to fill up the rest of the mobavator wont work you actually have to take a bucket to each block, oh and remember to hav the signs alternating if you want spiders to be able to swim up

[shooter1911colt]

If you replace the lava with water the system works with spiders and the tall mobs. It kills the mobs slower though.

[derekh1214]

this doesnt work, it burns the drops

[GeosMineCraft]

@derekh1214 upload a video then send it to me and i will help you with it

[derekh1214]

@GeosMineCraft i got it to work thank tho. and i doubled the size of my trap its 60x60 and i have a mob spawner in there. and its in the middle of the ocean and i lit up tons and caves and i still dont get as many mobs as this guy does

[Nzill]

@derekh1214 Click stand like... 25 blocks away from your mob trap (Eventually at your collection point, if you did it like Ethos) And click F3. Then, try to see if theres any other mobs around you (Or beneath you) that isn't in the mob trap.

[Nzill]

@Nzill "Click stand like" Totally makes sense... My brain is dead..

[memjude619]

THX!!!!

[NLAdorax]

Edit to my last comment: MC 1.6.6.

[NLAdorax]

Okay. I just tried attaching a 3x2 version of this to my gravity-based grinder to dispatch of survivors and it's nowhere near 100% efficiency. Using cobble walls rather than glass though.

What exactly is the difference between this tutorial and my system that makes it not work? Is it the fact I'm trying this on SMP?

[THRMReactor]

AussieBoiForLife: Okay, thanks :)

[PYates77]

Wow, I just did this while already having an activated mob system beneath it... It was quite difficult.

[EthosLab]

@EpiicDylanzZ This is the tutorial. o_0

[EpiicDylanzZ]

@EthosLab i know i said it be 4 reading the description or watching the video! it was a mistake!

[trevorng12345]

@EthosLab Could you give us your email or something, a way we can talk to you and ask you questions? when we ask you by commenting on your videos, it's really hard for you to see them. I hope you see this, I'd be really happy if you answer me. Thx!

[xXisaac99Xx]

@trevorng12345 Why not PM him?

[Icanskill4mill2]

@EthosLab Hey my trap works fine for other things like creepers but then when a skeleton gets inside the mobivator it just drowns for some reason and it doesn't want to swim up. Do you think I just built it wrong, or what. Please tell me

[GBVideos7]

@EthosLab does it work with spiders in 1.7.3?

[ablaze68]

@EthosLab LMAO

[PYROjoSH09]

@EthosLab Small problem. I have your sizzler hooked up to my mobavator. If i switch to peacefull and then back to zombies i get a large group that comes up, dies and then there is basicaly no more zombies(a very small amount)When i press f3 there is nothing in the trap and like 1 or 2 zombies underground in the distance. Why is it so slow? Or will it never be constantly fast?

[SoloAsian22]

@PYROjoSH09 you need to be far from the spawn floor.

[Jgchubbyspud]

@EthosLab lol not paying attention fail

[kittenbekje]

@EpiicDylanzZ your failing harden than nakedwizard...

[R4BIDP3NGUIN]

@EpiicDylanzZ Herp Derp.

[imopsvideo]

@EpiicDylanzZ derp.

[warhammer40kiss]

@EpiicDylanzZ Are your IQ lower than a fish UQ? :O

[MyLastNameIsLipp]

@EpiicDylanzZ AHAHA ur a dumb asz

[blaze4lifedog]

subbed :)

[THRMReactor]

EthosLab: Hmm, does this work with the alternating signs going all the way up the mobavator?

[AussieBoiForLife]

@THRMReactor thats the way you should have it, for demonstrational purposes, he only uses a 2x2x1 square, not a legit mobavator (with the alternating signs)

[kidshadow54]

would this also work with cactus instead of lava?

[drumbumifyer]

this works great!!! i had two full stacks of all the mob items in under 10 minutes!!! great job!!!!!

[mudlums]

Why don't you just put one in each corner when you fill up water?

[mudlums]

You a damn genius ;3

[jjkkccmm]

does this work for passive mobs?

[ichimurakun]

@jjkkccmm kind of. for chickens it doesn't work so well, since Chickens fly and are really small. I think Wool from Sheep may burn if put through the sizzler. For full efficiency, you're not going to have the exact sizzler as for hostile mobs

[lavixl]

my sizzler glitches items out the sides :(

[Jackc095]

laaavaaaah i love the way you say it!

[The3waykilla]

Can you make a set of schematics

[shortcircut2]

does this work with farm animals pig sheep cow i know not chicken can you tell me soon so i can build a mob a vator if this dosent work for farm animals can you sugest one that works for mobs and animals ty good vid

[shortcircut2]

@shortcircut2 what i want to do with the mobivator is make a lower level for mobs and a upper level on the survace with torches so at night i can get animals and mobs at night i watched your other vids about it but im wondering will the siziler work on the animals ty

[larva1138]

i seem to be having a similar problem, the device seems to be burning a large portion of my loot

[miniclip76]

I don't get why you are so hard on the spider drops. You don't really need string that much.

[alpokissa]

@miniclip76 String = Wool. Wool is really usefull xd

[linka711]

@alpokissa string = bow. bows really useful

[flunkeln]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH BEST CONCEPT FOR MOB FARMING EVER

[seregruin]

thanks a lot for the sizzler! it's really easy to build and works great!

[AlDaFunkyMonkey]

i made your mobavater and your mob spawner thing and put this as where it leads to :]

[DylanWhite86]

Is there one that kills spiders and has a higher drop survival %? I hate losing out on all that string...

[Valenorious]

@DylanWhite86 I made a drowing 'sizzler', instead of 2x2x1 lava, I used 2x2x2 water. (so one blocklevel higher) Spiders do not enter the suffocation water by themselves (they get stuck at the edge of the water) but once pushed by other tall mobs they float up too and they are doomed.

[drQuirky]

anyone know if this still works in 1.6? cant find anything on forums

[clap4vids]

all my mobs get stuck at start some make it through ive tried alot and still wont work thank you etho

[32TZ]

the awkward moment when some1 messes up in a tut

[MrKellar0]

how the hell do u make the mobs actually spawn and come up that specific hole

???? please tell me i wanna make this

[warhammer40kiss]

@MrKellar0 Watch his lets play.... or this tutorial....

[xXisaac99Xx]

@MrKellar0 watch his hostile mob system tutorial! (the revised one)

[Wriachleyluache]

will wood as a cover burn?

[randomdanishman]

@Wriachleyluache yes D:

[monkeyslat]

@Wriachleyluache yes but if you use half steps it wont

[MontyBurns2009]

how do the mobs spawn in there?

[thejspace302]

i made this and it seems to burn more than half of the loot
