if you're into this farm and you want to buff it up even more, here's a future episode of the minecraft guide where we upgrade the witch farm!! 💫 🔗th-cam.com/video/0S1QsRODquc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=a8oYtXFnXr4jBbPl
If I could make a suggestion about placing the string. If you go in a line from one tripwire hook to the other it will then trigger that tripwire letting you know you've placed all string from one to the other. Then you just repeat the process. That way as long as you watch each one trigger you'll know you didn't miss any. Edit: Another suggestion would be to place the roof on the top floor before placing that string otherwise you can place string stacked vertically by accident.
4:14 Amethyst growth is based on random tick, so even if it is in spawn chunks, it won't grow unless you're nearby. (or using mods on the more "cheaty" end of the spectrum). Learned that the hard way after setting up a fancy amethyst farm in my world
I built a witch farm a long time ago on a private, shared server. I turned it into an observatory with a big telescope. Instead of building a tower to the sky, I lit up the caves underneath, and the area of the swamp I was in was mostly water, so I turned the lens of the telescope into a bedroom \ afk spot. Was pretty awesome! Hope to see a neat design built around your witch farm!
@@midight_wolf64 :) Go for it. The build was shown very briefly on in my channel in episode 107 of my first Guide series was an April Fools joke episode for a different game called Vintage Story. I don't recall if I ever went inside it but it was at least on-screen briefly.
I have not seen one made yet so it’s cool to see and see why they would be cool to build. That tinted glass looks so awesome! Nice to some some different farms in this world. I like the variety.
Wattles said Season 3 and all I heard was Cathedral. It's my all time favourite build to this day, that and the crafting tree. Thank you Wattles, amazing farm.
that tinted glass really set the farm off. I was blown away about the entity cramming then BOOM Entity Glass put the beautiful glint on it. It was like a top hat on top of the witch hat of this farm. Love the vids.
To get potions from the farm, also consider changing the killing chamber with this setup: to have a 2 by 2 by 2 container of water for water breathing, magma blocks as the floor for fire resistance, a snow golem in the distance (with water stopping the witch from hurting it and the bottom blocked off so it can’t escape) for speed, and a trident killer for healing and to make the potions actually drop. A minecart with hopper below should collect all the loot.
To go with your tinted glass wall, you could add redstone lights around the outside of each platform to indicate a witch has spawned and is being pushed on that platform. Love the contet Wattles! Keep it up, you make Minecraft a little more exciting with your awesome videos.
You know you watch a lot of wattles when he says you know who it is but doesn’t say treechopples and your mind fills in the blank automatically Oof nice play Wattles!
I have been asking you to do this for a while so thank you for finally doing it. Have you considered doing a water elevator to get up to the AFK Platform? Would probably be quicker then the scaffolding. Also as a bonus build move the Nether Portal to the AFK Platform (I presume based on what you said that that was the plan)
I know witch farms can be an amazing source of gunpowder. But you'll still build a creeper farm at main base right? I'd love to see a snow golem powered one just go get a better understanding of how to make them work
You can get gun powder from ghast farms too ! I don't like creeper farms cuz mine exploded a few times and they aren't normally any more efficient than a ghast farm
I have an idea, wattles instead of building your interior to your house, you could do something cool and DEFINITELY more useful. You should build a little stable for your camels.
Great episode. I may have to try it sometime. I guess a potential bonus build would be an amethyst farm. You might also want to put a roof on your AFK spot unless you want to have some fun with phantoms.
A quick tip for a little more efficiency; If you offset the AFK platform so it isn't directly above the farm then it will go a bit faster on spawns too. Generally the killing side I find best to reduce despawns.
if you're *that* upset about not having tinted glass, couldn't you find a geode in the spawn chunks using chunkbase? earlier in the series you said something about chunkbase being allowed to locate more of things you've already found without it
You are correct. Bedrock has 1 spawn point. On bedrock, it's one of the best gunpowder farms (for rockets) and can be made in less than an hour with a trident killer. Waterlogging the killer with magma blocks at the base will force all 4 potions as relatively common drops.
Please wattles before I rip my hair out build an auto bone meal machine... Chest>hopper>composter>hopper>chest. Make use of all the cherry petals 😭 instead of using seeds manually
will this work for bedrock as well? I know not the chamber there is no entity cramming mechanic in bedrock but if I put a fireplace on a hopper it should work correct?
Correct. Bedrock has only one spawn block. I belive its inside the hut on the opposite corner from where the water cauldron is, so just to the right of the door. Entity cramming doesn't work in Bedrock either so you'd have to set up a different kill chamber. There's some good Bedrock specific witch farm tutorials you could look at.
You can force the witches to use different types of potions based on the damage they're taking in your chamber.. Pretty sure they have water breathing fire resistance speed boost and Health if you hurt them in the right ways before they die.
when trying to place blocks on scaffolding, stand inside the block you want to place the block next to then aim at the legs of the scaffolding and it will place the block behind you
my swamp hut spawned with half of it in a plains biome. I leveled out and lit up the area around it (not too much maybe like 15 blocks in each direction) and built up 110 blocks from the top of the farm and im not getting any witch spawns. Does the entire hut need to be in a swamp biome to be able to spawn witches?
I think it may be Optifine's "connected glass" option that does this. Or you can probably find a resourcepack that forces them to connect but still look good.
Personally I like to use soul camp fires, or even regular if too early, for passive farms. Also don't forget you can always just set up a water troth to land in to get down fast, and maybe an elevator to get you by until you can fly again. Always remember to fundamentals. Funny thinking of things like elevators as fundamentals, but Minecraft I guess.
Question how does this change on bedrock? Thats the one on mobile right? I want to attempt this one day but im not sure what the difference is. Any advice please help 😅 given i normally dont live long in the game but regardless 😅
I'm on bedrock so entity cramming is not a thing.... but a few questions for how to work around it.... 1. instead of using 24 minecarts can't I just set up a slab window at the witches feet and use a looting 3 sword on her manually to achieve the same results? 2. In order to do this as an afk farm, can I just set up a lava cube to auto kill the witches for me?
You would still want to set up a platform in the sky to AFK from as it will reduce the spawns under your farm and increase the rates of the farm. I would drop them down into a trident killer.
Did my eyes deceive me, is Wattles using a bed that is not red. I just saw it was he is beginning to build the farm and paused the video to comment! It is like an Earth shattering, mind warping, reality ending event! LOL
Why not move the witches to a tower, drop them at your afk platform with one hit left on them? Like you do at your other spawning farms? This way there is less noise and it is also an xp farm? If you build your platform so far up it would be costly. But you could make it outta tinted glass, since tinting it does magnify how much you have. And/ or you could go caving and light up areas. Do enough of that and you could move the witches so you are far enough away for them to spawn. Plus when caving you generally find and pick up plenty of other worthwhile stuff.
Just what I was thinking, why would I want to build a witch farm after all, I hide from the bad guys, unless my son is there to protect me. Lol but I am game.
You might want to put a roof for your AFK sessions as you really don't want to come back to your game to see the "Wattles was killed by lightning and wraiths........ a LOT!" I know that it wouldn't read quite like that due to the way mincraft death screens work, but a counter on the screen to say how many times you've been killed and what killed you would be really cool 😂
if you're into this farm and you want to buff it up even more, here's a future episode of the minecraft guide where we upgrade the witch farm!! 💫

Use string duper for inf string
Wool for carpets is op for farms

Your first bonus build back should be the interior to your house
Could you imagine... an actual interior.
@@Insane-Crazyman that would be unheard of
Almost thought you were Lena, because of your profile pick kkkkkkk
@@matheusmunizduarte 😂
For real tho
You can bonemeal the ground in the swamp to get more orchids spawning
4:14 Amethyst growth is based on random tick, so even if it is in spawn chunks, it won't grow unless you're nearby. (or using mods on the more "cheaty" end of the spectrum). Learned that the hard way after setting up a fancy amethyst farm in my world
😯 Thx! Good to know!
Yeah you should build one close to where you go all the time in the game if you can
I built a witch farm a long time ago on a private, shared server. I turned it into an observatory with a big telescope.

Sounds VERY cool!
that is a really cool idea, do you mind if i write it down to do something similar in future? (won't post publicly but still wanted to ask)
@@midight_wolf64 :) Go for it. The build was shown very briefly on in my channel in episode 107 of my first Guide series was an April Fools joke episode for a different game called Vintage Story. I don't recall if I ever went inside it but it was at least on-screen briefly.

thank you!! this farm is going to be so handy long term!
How did you watch this a day ago? Was this made available to members earlier then other people?
The tinted glass really is the perfect finishing touch for the build. Great job!
Wattles said Season 3 and all I heard was Cathedral. It's my all time favourite build to this day, that and the crafting tree. Thank you Wattles, amazing farm.
That glass... chef's kiss!! Great build, Wattles!!
THANK YOU 🥺
that tinted glass really set the farm off. I was blown away about the entity cramming then BOOM Entity Glass put the beautiful glint on it. It was like a top hat on top of the witch hat of this farm.

Wattles, my boy what've you done, laddie? A blue bed? OMG my heart, don't be still my ever beating heart...I think I love you W

thats a fire upgrade!! I might have to come back and add that too :)
Wattles, how do you have a perfect vibe to all your videos...they brighten my day from my dreadful matric final exams
I wasn't thrilled to much going into this about a witch farm but it turned out amazing!
thank ya!! its a great farm to have
You know you watch a lot of wattles when he says you know who it is but doesn’t say treechopples and your mind fills in the blank automatically
Oof nice play Wattles!
It’s okay, Sir Wattles. Amethyst grows fairly fast, you’ll have enough tinted glass to build a huge glass castle in no time
I have been asking you to do this for a while so thank you for finally doing it.
Have you considered doing a water elevator to get up to the AFK Platform? Would probably be quicker then the scaffolding. Also as a bonus build move the Nether Portal to the AFK Platform (I presume based on what you said that that was the plan)
Tinted Glass is one of the best blocks I'm so glad you used it in this build
This is why I love Minecraft, because I wouldn’t have built the witch farm this way. It is fun to see how other people go about building things! ❤
Oh my gosh Wattles, all of that tinted glass is so beautiful! A triple plus on the aesthetic buddy.
Does this work on bedrock?
sadly with the trapdoors no you need a build that uses pistons or dispensers
wattles your Minecraft Guide series is nothing less than a netflix series, love your videos man❤
You should go back to the cow farm and use the same waterlogged trapdoor technique instead of the pistons that you currently have there
I know witch farms can be an amazing source of gunpowder. But you'll still build a creeper farm at main base right? I'd love to see a snow golem powered one just go get a better understanding of how to make them work
100%! this farm is mainly for redstone and glowstone in my world!
You can get gun powder from ghast farms too ! I don't like creeper farms cuz mine exploded a few times and they aren't normally any more efficient than a ghast farm
@@wattlesplays Great to hear. My current gunpowder farm isn't the fastest and I was thinking about building 2.
I have an idea, wattles instead of building your interior to your house, you could do something cool and DEFINITELY more useful. You should build a little stable for your camels.
Also, you should take fred back to your base
I suggest using a bubble column instead of scaffolding to get up. It is much faster, then placing a water landing pad to get back down.
I love how your glass looks like wood! It’s so cool!!!
😂😂😂😂 "It's not my job, to be honest, but I'm not going to lie to you" I gotta rewind that one. 😂
That brown tinted glass is exquisite 🤌
Great episode. I may have to try it sometime. I guess a potential bonus build would be an amethyst farm. You might also want to put a roof on your AFK spot unless you want to have some fun with phantoms.
I watched all of your series in the swamp with the og matilda the witch farm love your videos ❤
Wattles is back with another banger! Keep them up my dude!
The Christmas Tree build would be nice. Chef's kiss
A quick tip for a little more efficiency; If you offset the AFK platform so it isn't directly above the farm then it will go a bit faster on spawns too. Generally the killing side I find best to reduce despawns.
Love you Wattles
ayo
That tinted glass looks soo good! Bueno!
I’ve been waiting for this!
if you're *that* upset about not having tinted glass, couldn't you find a geode in the spawn chunks using chunkbase? earlier in the series you said something about chunkbase being allowed to locate more of things you've already found without it
great video! do you plan on making a warden farm anytime soon?
You are correct. Bedrock has 1 spawn point. On bedrock, it's one of the best gunpowder farms (for rockets) and can be made in less than an hour with a trident killer. Waterlogging the killer with magma blocks at the base will force all 4 potions as relatively common drops.
20:10 hah it was really funny to hear the Chopin piece right here cause i just learned how to play it on piano lol good use of it btw lol
Can u use Ice blocks as spawn platform so they get washed down faster?
I really love using the nether for a subway system. I don’t like losing my different builds every time I go exploring somewhere.
Wattles if you have stairs (right side up and facing in to the farm) on the last block before the trench it will make them drop off easier
Please wattles before I rip my hair out build an auto bone meal machine... Chest>hopper>composter>hopper>chest. Make use of all the cherry petals 😭 instead of using seeds manually
6:08 - 6:09 --- looks like witch becomes frog, but frog jumped into screen 😂
Geodes are common enough that, if you look around under the swamp, then I bet you could find one ready to harvest close to the hut.
That spruce tinted glass is fire! 😂😂😂
Tree chopples carrying the series 😎😎
Cool! I’ll have to build a witchles farm
the tinted glass on the farm is really nice
6:10 I legitimately thought the witch turned into frog.
A pagoda built around the witch farm would be super cool
Hello Mr wattles love you Videos OF Minecraft 1.21 ❤
Thank you Wattles 👊🏻
will this work for bedrock as well? I know not the chamber there is no entity cramming mechanic in bedrock but if I put a fireplace on a hopper it should work correct?
Bedrock's spawning mechanics are different. There's only like one spot inside the hut that the witches spawn in Bedrock.
I instantly click this video when you mentioned it in the other video that I shouldn't skip😄
One change I made was make one the mine carts a hopper mine cart. It reduces the lost drops.
hey wattles did you die the tinted glass brown?
This seems to be a Java only build. Can anyone confirm? Either way, excellent build Wattles. You always do great videos and builds.
Correct. Bedrock has only one spawn block. I belive its inside the hut on the opposite corner from where the water cauldron is, so just to the right of the door. Entity cramming doesn't work in Bedrock either so you'd have to set up a different kill chamber. There's some good Bedrock specific witch farm tutorials you could look at.
Is this just for java or does it also work on bedrock? 🤔
I didn't watch the full episode yet, but I feel like we're almost getting to the end of Operation Hallow.
getting there!!
The best use of the blue swamp flowers is to make suspicious stew with saturation.
You can force the witches to use different types of potions based on the damage they're taking in your chamber.. Pretty sure they have water breathing fire resistance speed boost and Health if you hurt them in the right ways before they die.
Kinda surprised nobody questioned the AFK platform that doesn't have a roof to prevent death by crazed carnivore bird.
when trying to place blocks on scaffolding, stand inside the block you want to place the block next to then aim at the legs of the scaffolding and it will place the block behind you
my swamp hut spawned with half of it in a plains biome. I leveled out and lit up the area around it (not too much maybe like 15 blocks in each direction) and built up 110 blocks from the top of the farm and im not getting any witch spawns. Does the entire hut need to be in a swamp biome to be able to spawn witches?
Don’t zombies wearing pumpkins mean this video was released during Halloween
I may be dumb here, but what kind of resource pack do you use to make the glass look connected but not textureless?😅
I think it may be Optifine's "connected glass" option that does this. Or you can probably find a resourcepack that forces them to connect but still look good.
Personally I like to use soul camp fires, or even regular if too early, for passive farms. Also don't forget you can always just set up a water troth to land in to get down fast, and maybe an elevator to get you by until you can fly again. Always remember to fundamentals.
Funny thinking of things like elevators as fundamentals, but Minecraft I guess.
soul campfires dont work cause the witches will drink a fire resisitense potion, learned that the hard way
Guardian farm when
Are u going to do a frog light farm later in the series?
yes!
You should put some spiderweb above your AFK point so while you’re AFK, you can take out a few phantoms
this seems like a ton of work, i'll stick to my cleric trades, thanks
will this farm work in mc bedrock ?
I figured you would name the frog Warttles.
You should make a amethyst farm
Question how does this change on bedrock? Thats the one on mobile right? I want to attempt this one day but im not sure what the difference is. Any advice please help 😅 given i normally dont live long in the game but regardless 😅
Do preview updates happen after java snapshots???
yes sometimes!
@@wattlesplays thank you I use preview.
I didn’t know about swamp huts. Actually, I didn’t know much about anything about witches.
Next video: Building a raid farm
You should make a bubble column that brings all the drops up to the AFK spot.
Would a cheaper way to take the witches out be a campfire? Thanks for the videos as usual :)
On bedrock, you'd probably have to do something like that. No entity cramming.
I'm on bedrock so entity cramming is not a thing.... but a few questions for how to work around it....
1. instead of using 24 minecarts can't I just set up a slab window at the witches feet and use a looting 3 sword on her manually to achieve the same results?

@@brandonbianchi3034 I ended up just doing the gunpowder farm over the ocean. Works great
When r u going to get nethrite armour?
How do you potions instead of dust?
Did my eyes deceive me, is Wattles using a bed that is not red. I just saw it was he is beginning to build the farm and paused the video to comment! It is like an Earth shattering, mind warping, reality ending event! LOL
And then seen on the afk platform too!
Why not move the witches to a tower, drop them at your afk platform with one hit left on them? Like you do at your other spawning farms? This way there is less noise and it is also an xp farm? If you build your platform so far up it would be costly. But you could make it outta tinted glass, since tinting it does magnify how much you have. And/ or you could go caving and light up areas. Do enough of that and you could move the witches so you are far enough away for them to spawn. Plus when caving you generally find and pick up plenty of other worthwhile stuff.
On Java is it possible to wake up multiple blocks away? Because if so the you should move your bed towards the center of the platform
The game tries to place the player on solid ground, so he's 100% safe from any unwanted sky diving sessions (probably)
Just what I was thinking, why would I want to build a witch farm after all, I hide from the bad guys, unless my son is there to protect me. Lol but I am game.

You could AFK for weeks, and you'd still die exactly once.
Hi wattles
hey!
Ahhhhh he said hii omg let's gooooo
I know it probably wasn't enough but the chest by the camels there was a full stack of amethyst shards.
If you swap the spawning platform for ice you get better rates
1:52 you can see a stack of amethyst in the chest 🤣🤣
I didn’t even know witches could be farmed
Used to be a god farm out there but spawning rule changes made them pointless.
Thank you wattles,can you make a bitches farm now? that’s what we all really need
Do you know if your going to make a villager trading hall? You could get infinite lapis
There was a stack of amethyst in one of the last chests you were in while filling the ender chest.
Mine gets skellies...I'm assuming I didn't quite get the witch spawn box shape quite right
