I use a pit similar to this for drifters when storms hit, I put a chiseled grate on the bottom, that has a 2 1/2 block space underneath for me to poke upwards, and the grate is roughly two or so micro blocks tall, so the kills are close enough to harvest without the crawling drifter able to hit you. Ill probably start making more of those pits around for when i have wolves, maybe proof it for bears. I hate bears. They climb so high.
@@dracsfantastic I don't know how well the pathfinding is, but I believe you can put open trapdoors along the top and they will path into a deeper kill pit, like the other block game. That might take care of the bears. I had a scare fighting one when my three block dirt pillar wasn't enough. And if you are making a shaft down to the kill chamber, you can put a door along the way for a way out if you fall in.
I've heard (not yet tested) that if you simply build a 1x2 hole and jump into it you can kill any bear above you with a spear and they can't get you.@@pineberry212
Lots of ways to gather animals. This is my go-to method at the moment. Please share your hunting tips
2:09 If you place the ladder one block higher, you can still jump to it and animals running across or climbing each other won't get on it.
Oh! Brillant, thank you.

Oh! I like the idea of a gate. Yes, I am not a fan of bear either

Um...the wolves at the end have me shakin in my tattered boots lmao
oh the wolves..
YES to this method. The animals in this game love to hunt ME!
I just started using a sling and it has changed my life. Still, pits though are awesome.
Nice mountain in the background. All I get are some unnatural rock spikes and flying islands
This is my creative world. Got really lucky with the seed :)
Does this work with bears?
It does NOT work with bears!
You can dig a deeper hole. But it is tricky with bears. They like to climb
If you put a feed trough in there you can increase their weight so you get more meat and fat!
OMG! That is such a great idea. Next time ;)
it may even get some sheep's /pigs in the pit if they are close enough ,for rabbits have a central cube of land with a crop
