27:40 installing the tridents for the killers:) 2:48 I dont know how to make it more clear, but do NOT use packed ice 😅 it will NOT work. You have to use regular ice. Thanks for watching! :D Subscribe for more bedrock tutorials! I got a few more planned that you'll like👀 BTW a full double chest is 3,456 items, and this makes 4,800 items/hour, or 79 STACKS of gunpowder/hour! :D Huge thanks again to Mikehomer for letting me do a showcase/tutorial on this build!
Built only 1 side and nice it works good. One advice if you don't wanna have doubt whether you placed buttons correctly or not- 1 layer takes 4 stacks and 10 ice and buttons, so keep 4 stacks and 10 in your inventory, if you use all then you didn't miss, if you are left with any then you know how many you missed.
It’s great comments like these that deserve 3k likes. Not these stupid comments of people repeating what was said in the video. This generation is disgusting. Thanks!
Just finished building one side and I may make the other side later, but here are a couple of tips for when you build it: Bring extra stuff, specially coral fins they're annoying to get so grab extra just in case you break them. Get a silk touch tool, it helps with glass and ice. Organize your inventory, you'll be building for a while so it's better if you can find where every item is. Very good farm after all
I built just 6 layers of the farm and went from 150 gunpowder an hour to 1400 an hour. After 1 afk session I have more gun powder then I'll ever need. Thank you. Though i get the occasional zombie or witch.. cant find that missing button.
This farm works great. However, the water streams for the storage system make it so a lot of the gunpowder that is supposed to go to the chest go to the player. You can fix this by replacing the ice blocks in the water streams with a normal block like stone bricks. And where you place a bottom, make sure that there is an ice block below the button. Don't forget to keep the button inside of the water source. Hope this helps.
This works very VERY efficiently. My recommendations is to just triple check everything and watch the whole video in case you miss out on important parts. Takes around 3-4 hours for one side depending on how efficient you are.
Silent, this farm is awesome but has a major issue, it is way too efficient, I sat down for dinner and came back after an hour and two of my double chests were full with one side of the farm built…. You’ll need way more than three rows of chests to store the drops, this thing is 8x more powerful than the one I had previously
Great build. Took a couple sessions to gather the materials to do one tower, and I'm about 11 stories in - and so far so good. So much fun watching all the xp coming straight to you! Thanks Silent and Thanks Mike!
Works well even on a small scale (10 layers) built Jan 2025, works excellent I needed a steadier source of rockets and now I have more rockets than I’ll need after a day of using it. Looting 3 ftw. Thanks for this video, genuinely helpful and informative. Big ups happy new year.
Well that's good timing. Been playing on a private server with my wife and I just raided some end cities for elytra a few hours before this video showed up in my recommended. I don't have a creeper farm, but now I will.
There actually alot. Bedrock may not be fully parity wuth java but its still good. Ive made ghast farms, gold farm, iron farm, wither, mob farms, all that dont need to be in the middle of nowhere
@@silentwisperer We very much appreciate you and @mikehomer for this video and the design. Let's all just pray and fingers crossed nothing that Mojang does in future minor and major updates that break the spawning mechanics...again! 😂😂
It's pretty neat! I already had my multi split density farm setup in a way that Mikes snowman design worked a lot better for me, with minimal adaptations. The 50% rate increase compared to 1.20 was very welcome with all the TNT I'm using.
Hi guys, just finished building the farm, working fine, just two problems: 1- the "item sorter" isn't working properly, fixed with two hoppers, two minecars with hoppers and a dispenser, got the redtone line of the farm to make it dispense as well. 2- the tridents are dropping down when I reload the chuncks, don't know if it's because i am in a console, but i thought i would be good to hear if someone have this problem as well. Sorry for my bad English, (not my native language) Love your content Silent! Keep going with your great work.
trident killers need to be turned off before you leave. if they fall down otherwise its just the bug and theres no real way around it. make sure the water streams are setup as shown for the item filter part
Just built this and works really well, only did one side and I get around 3k gun powder every hour, was pretty surprised as I thought it would be considerably less
Farm works like a dream!! Building it on and off for three days now just finished one side! Hopefully I’ll get the other side built in less time!! Thanks Silent! You’re the greatest!!
I find myself always religiously checking the comments before building a farm to see if it works so i dont waste my time. This one passed the check and i built it and holy moly it is not only the best creeper farm ive ever made it is the best farm ive ever made. Its so efficient with xp and gunpowder its insane. It’s also a very surprisingly easy build, tedious yes but most farms are.
@@URBNLC so I just got to the Minecart piece and mine isn’t shaking. Not sure if this will be a problem but I already gathered all the resources so I’m gonna finish building
I don't want to belittle the quality of silent's tutorials, but remember that this is Mike Homer's farm, and Mike made his own tutorial. This is silent holding mike's beer for him. I'm glad silent is bringing it to a wider audience on bedrock though
I mean they do tho you can literally find an easier creeper farm for java and it will make twice as much gunpowder, that’s one of the few things i hate about bedrock.
@aqc3230 bedrock ones work fine the problem is people try to treat 2 different games the same way I got a simple creaper flushing tower that makes more than plenty that even in a server of moochers the storage is almost always got enough for everyone
Thankyou silentwisperer and mikehomer for this amazing farm. I just finished building it in ocean, yesterday on both sides. Its working very well. Efficiency is like this 10+stacks/10min in ocean biomes.
I only built one full section so far and the rates are still great. i tested the rates of gunpowder for one hour while holding a looting three sword and I collected 47 stacks +18 of gunpowder (3018 gunpowder/hr). Pretty good rates for just half the build.
Just finished a survival build on Switch, here’s some stuff I learned in no particular order: - 3-4 stacks of scaffolding is very helpful, I burned through my last 2 stacks of rockets early in the build. Alternatively, make yourself a landing platform early on. - When grinding the spawn levels, you can fit enough resources into your inventory to make 2 full platforms before resupply- 9 stacks ice, 9 stacks buttons, 3 stacks dirt, 2 stacks slabs, coral fans, stack of trapdoors - this leaves room for tools. - when placing buttons, sneak. Swift sneak is very useful. I found sneaking when placing was ultimately faster than running as I didn’t waste a bunch of time going back to fill in missed blocks. - An easy way to verify buttons is to go into 3rd person as mentioned in the video, then angle the camera and slowly walk diagonally across the platform from corner to corner. Any missed blocks will be very evident. - Keep your bed away from your storage if it isn’t in a shelter. Waking up to an insta-boom and watching half your double chests (full of stacks of items) go pop is not fun. - Order of operations: (from below/top of lower platform) - 1. Ice 2. Buttons 3. Dirt/coral fans/trapdoors around coral (now go up on top of the one you’re building) 4. Shovel dirt into paths 5. Place slabs on non-dirt edges 6. Place trapdoors on floor 7. Repeat My best time for 1 floor was just over 13 minutes, average was 15-16 minutes - One trident doesn’t want to keep killing, it will get into a position after a few minutes where it doesn’t kill creepers. Haven’t been able to figure out why yet. Update: User error, a couple missed blocks were allowing the trident to get misaligned. - Initial test, 9 stacks of gunpowder in 20 mins and I was only holding my looting 3 sword for about half that as I had some tools to repair Thanks again Silent, I can now make all my explodey plans come to fruition! UPDATE 9/9/24: Works beautifully. Based on chest loot I still have a spot or two that can spawn zombies and witches but I haven’t invested the time in tracking them down yet. ~2 hrs of AFK (50-55 min commute x2, turn on hotspot and let it run while driving) with looting 3 sword, gets me just shy of 3 double chests filled with gunpowder. Turned a few shulkers into TNT and I now have more ancient debris than I can use. WELL WORTH THE GRIND IF YOU DON’T WANT TO WORRY ABOUT GUNPOWDER EVER AGAIN!!! With two sides I bet this thing could support a server.
9 stacks in 20mins!? Man if this works I would cry out of joy😂 Tried a lots of differnet builds but every one of them are too slow! Update:- build one side with only 7 layers and it gave me around 24 stacks in 1hr
Which blocks did you forget that caused the tridents to get misaligned? Mine keep doing it but I suspected it had to do with me leaving and forgetting to shut the thing off.
@@michaelgage652 It was a couple blocks right near the trap doors. I fell into the minecart once, broke a few blocks to get out and thought I had replaced them all but glass can be hard to see. Leaving without turning the farm off will increase your chances of trident weirdness. They also just straight up disappear sometimes even if you do everything right, I had to replace one on this farm last week and one today on my gold farm.
Well done @Mikehomer and thank you Silent 😁. We are done building the first half of the farm, busy with the second half. Our ice biome is a bit far, 10 000+ blocks away 🥴, so we chose a cold ocean, but this beast is working like a charm none the less.😊
Hello Silentwhisper, I have tried to make a bug report about this before, but I have been unable to. Mobs (Like wolves, pandas, ocelots, ammodillos, parrots {tamed and untamed} and creepers. {Those are the ones that I have tested}) can enter the Nether through a portal, but they can't go back through any portal aftarwards unless you breed them in the Nether (which you can't do with some mobs) and take them through to the overworld, but if you take them back to the Nether the bug still occurs, this bug dose not effect villagers or allays however and I think that this is the reson that it has not been noticed. This bug has been a issue for me since one of the 1.18.something versions (or at least that is when I noticed it).
Having just built this, I have a few tips. I recommend placing the buttons before you do the trap doors for each level. Also to make sure you don't skip any spots with the buttons, craft four stacks +10 buttons each time. I didn't do this for the first half and had to go back a couple times to inspect and find the missed areas. Also, seriously consider doing a shulker box loader here given the amount it produces. After one night of AFK with half the farm I had more than I'll probably ever use.. and then built a the second side. In the future I'll probably kick myself for not installing the loader when I go back to load up on gun powder manually. One day I hope we get the same shift click as Java..
I never want to see another button again. Also adding on, only built 10 layers, and to be honest it's more than efficient XD. Thanks for this one Silent, you're the one person I can always trust a farm from.
The coral fans are crucial. They are the magic that makes it work. Doesn't matter what kind. I used all dead fire coral fans. Don't forget the button right before the soul sand blocks, or else the water from the bubble towers will prevent the xp and gun powder from moving up them. A lot of work and time invested in collection of materials and building. Best to do just one layer at a time going up, instead of trying to do all of the path blocks, all of the ice, etc. Totally worth it, had a couple stacks of gun powder within a few minutes, and repaired all of my weapons and tools at the same time. If not everyone in your world has elytra, may be a good idea to put a ladder or something as a way for them to get down safely.
Phenomenal work! I was eagerly and nervously waiting for you to demonstrate where to throw the trident 😅 I struggled with making this trident killer work and you provided the key to unlocking it! 🥰😂
Add a bed and some scaffolding or building blocks to the building list and u might want to make an infinite water source up on the build too as you’ll need lots of water
Looks like Creepers have a surface spawn density cap of 5 and if I remember correctly a cave spawn density cap of 8. The bigger general mob farms pretty much max out cave spawns with all the layers below the top one, and when that's the case with a farm, designers tend to use that last, top layer that's still within your spawn radius to capture the surface spawns. This farm must not max out the cave spawn density cap for Creepers within spawn radius, so he stuck to the cave spawning layers to maximize spawns. I'm not certain on this, but it's what I put together from his explanations in the various farms videos I've watched from him and others.
a good chunk of the gunpowder is floating up to the afk platform instead of the chests for me, any fixes or is that just normal? I moved water placement in the line and that seemed to work a little bit, but it's still happening.
Wow this farm is amazing. Usually I struggle with making tutorials because I suffer alot with numbers and block spacing and figuring out where to place things but this tutorial was very thorough and that helped a ton and this farm works wonders. Thank you!!
@@silentwisperer, what if I didn't place solid blocks above and instead used tinted glass for the roof? Will the lightning still go through it? (Should I tear it all down? I mean the tinted glass)
one. of. the. best. farms. i’ve. ever. made. definitely takes a while to even build one side but with the amount i got over night honestly don’t even know if i need the other 🤯
I've built two layers just to see if it was working and it works great. This is the simplest creeper farm I've ever built. No more dragging cats on leads up 4 flights of stairs over magma for me
I’ve just completed building this and no creepers are spawning:/ I’m on 1.21.51 on mobile. There is an iceberg beneath it, could that be the reason? I put torches on it anyway. There is an ocean monument close by, could that be it? I’m far enough away I think.
Would rates be affected if I were to encase both columns to make them look less ugly as long as I kept everything spawn proof? I want to make the farm columns look like giant creepers.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m on PlayStation 5 but I left the creeper farm running all night and only got 2,747. Supposed to be getting that every hour, render distance maybe? Do I need to light up underneath the farm to stop mobs from spawning underneath the farm? Can someone give me a hand?
Are the creepers falling into the chute correctly? Or are they just standing around? If so make sure the trapdoors are surrounding the coral fan by placing them on the underside of the dirt blocks
This works in bedrock on realms. I've got both towers built. I just need to do all trapdoor work and buttons on the second tower. Btw you don't need coral fan. You can still use trapdoors in the same place. We've loaded a shulker loader and auto crafter. This way we can load tons of shulker shells and chests and have them stack. We want to eventually build a quarry on bedrock so we need a TON of tnt
@@xinvis4661 np. Best thing to do is get rid of the lever. Put a repeater in that spot. Then run dust up to the line in front of the comparator. Do that for both sides. Then when you go to the afk platform you can turn on one switch and it will turn on the trident killers and the mine carts. That prevents you from having to flip every lever individually
@@justanotherfng556 Gotcha, I havent finished it yet but plan on later today. do you know if the farm works on 8 render distance? I build a pretty big auto sorter that needs to be on 8 render distance to work and Id rather not close the game to change it every time I got between the two
Farm works absolutely amazing, took a very long time to build and gather materials and building in survival is not very fun but it's 100% worth the grind
@@zander663 Is that why they're important? I built the Trident Killer to accept a mob supply with water pushing them forward from a drop chute and had a Glass Block in place of the Honey Block. It still works fine, so I can't figure out the reason for the smaller sized block. And wouldn't it be more economical to use a Chest, as making a Honey Block takes extra steps and materials?
I can assure you I’m gonna M myself off I’ve lit built this in a frozen ocean( I’m on ps5 bedrock) I followed the TH-camr modstops tutorial and nothing seems to be spawning I’ve clicked on yours and it’s pretty much the same thing I’m at a loss on what to do
I had the same problem. I put my sim chucks down to 4 and I started to get way more spawns. Also make sure the farm is in the right chunks like the vid said.
11:17 mines not shaking or anything. I’ve checked and re done everything at least 5 times and nothings working. Lever is on and activator rails are powered, and I did everything exactly as shown. Anyone have any ideas what’s going on?
So I built everything exactly how it is in the video however, the gunpowder when flowing thru the tub skips over the hole to go to the storage and goes up the water elevator to my afk platform, would should I do to fix this?
@@ThatGuy-ef2sf found answer change the water speeds by moving pressure plates and buttons. I made both side and had the same problem so I went into creative and messed with the speeds and words fine now.
This is a great farm, I built BOTH sides of the farm and it only took 15 hours including gathering materials 😂really gonna help my grind to a full netherite beacon in HARDCORE minecraft 🔥
silent this was brilliant, and the xp fountain is literally chefs kiss. after you said 16 rows of ice my jaw dopped lol. but i did it and i dont regret it. now for the other side.
Tip: construct one layer at a time and put the buttons in place before the trapdoors also you might want to put cats around the AFK area in case any creepers get loose Sometimes they have been falling off the bottom platform and walking over
It is real but I have seen a lot of comments saying that it is not spawning so here is the thing: Solution 1: building by the exact direction and exact part of chunk is important 2: you should not have used packed ice 3: If you are not high enough 4: IF you are not building in the biome mentioned in the video
@@StonedApeAnimation There can be two possibilities , first maybe you used normal rails instead of activator rails and second is you did not powered the activator rails with lever . Hope it helps :)
@@Colossal_dragon_official how about the third possibility- the update that released this week changed the way the minecart behaves in this specific scenario
You can also place 1 water source block at the top and place kelp all the way up, break it and replace the bottom block with soul sand. Breaking the ice blocks is so much easier though I didn't know that worked too
Farm works if you follow every instruction. My one recommendation for changing this farm is to make the Trident killer switch a pressure plate to the northwest of the bubble column. The reason for this is too make sure that it is only on when you are standing at the AFK point, and you never wander away from your Trident Killers while they are running.
This is a phenomenal build and a very well done video thank you so much! I wish it was clearer how to find the chunk border and if I need the sword to have only looting on it. But genuinely not a big deal amazing tutorial and farm. Still works in 1.21 bedrock amazingly

what kind of coral is it?
Does it have to be ice or can it also be pact ice?
Yo saw this live it’s cobrakipton
Built only 1 side and nice it works good.

I just finished building it in ocean, yesterday on both sides. Its working very well. Efficiency is like this 10+stacks/10min in ocean biomes.
I only built one full section so far and the rates are still great. i tested the rates of gunpowder for one hour while holding a looting three sword and I collected 47 stacks +18 of gunpowder (3018 gunpowder/hr). Pretty good rates for just half the build.
Just finished a survival build on Switch, here’s some stuff I learned in no particular order:
- 3-4 stacks of scaffolding is very helpful, I burned through my last 2 stacks of rockets early in the build. Alternatively, make yourself a landing platform early on.
- When grinding the spawn levels, you can fit enough resources into your inventory to make 2 full platforms before resupply- 9 stacks ice, 9 stacks buttons, 3 stacks dirt, 2 stacks slabs, coral fans, stack of trapdoors - this leaves room for tools.
- when placing buttons, sneak. Swift sneak is very useful. I found sneaking when placing was ultimately faster than running as I didn’t waste a bunch of time going back to fill in missed blocks.
- An easy way to verify buttons is to go into 3rd person as mentioned in the video, then angle the camera and slowly walk diagonally across the platform from corner to corner. Any missed blocks will be very evident.
- Keep your bed away from your storage if it isn’t in a shelter. Waking up to an insta-boom and watching half your double chests (full of stacks of items) go pop is not fun.
- Order of operations: (from below/top of lower platform) - 1. Ice 2. Buttons 3. Dirt/coral fans/trapdoors around coral (now go up on top of the one you’re building) 4. Shovel dirt into paths 5. Place slabs on non-dirt edges 6. Place trapdoors on floor 7. Repeat
My best time for 1 floor was just over 13 minutes, average was 15-16 minutes
- One trident doesn’t want to keep killing, it will get into a position after a few minutes where it doesn’t kill creepers. Haven’t been able to figure out why yet. Update: User error, a couple missed blocks were allowing the trident to get misaligned.
- Initial test, 9 stacks of gunpowder in 20 mins and I was only holding my looting 3 sword for about half that as I had some tools to repair
Thanks again Silent, I can now make all my explodey plans come to fruition!
UPDATE 9/9/24: Works beautifully. Based on chest loot I still have a spot or two that can spawn zombies and witches but I haven’t invested the time in tracking them down yet.
~2 hrs of AFK (50-55 min commute x2, turn on hotspot and let it run while driving) with looting 3 sword, gets me just shy of 3 double chests filled with gunpowder. Turned a few shulkers into TNT and I now have more ancient debris than I can use. WELL WORTH THE GRIND IF YOU DON’T WANT TO WORRY ABOUT GUNPOWDER EVER AGAIN!!! With two sides I bet this thing could support a server.
9 stacks in 20mins!?
Man if this works I would cry out of joy😂
Tried a lots of differnet builds but every one of them are too slow!
Update:- build one side with only 7 layers and it gave me around 24 stacks in 1hr
Could you talk About the chunk border
Which blocks did you forget that caused the tridents to get misaligned?
Mine keep doing it but I suspected it had to do with me leaving and forgetting to shut the thing off.
@@michaelgage652 It was a couple blocks right near the trap doors. I fell into the minecart once, broke a few blocks to get out and thought I had replaced them all but glass can be hard to see.
Leaving without turning the farm off will increase your chances of trident weirdness. They also just straight up disappear sometimes even if you do everything right, I had to replace one on this farm last week and one today on my gold farm.
Does it matter which coral fan you use?
I have tried everyone else farm's but you are the best thx silent
I was dreading having to build a ghast farm, so this video has perfect timing ☺️
Does it still work?
It is working for me@@baconarmyforlife
Well done @Mikehomer and thank you Silent 😁. We are done building the first half of the farm, busy with the second half. Our ice biome is a bit far, 10 000+ blocks away 🥴, so we chose a cold ocean, but this beast is working like a charm none the less.😊
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, it works perfectly way more gunpowder than I will ever need in one hour of afk
Hello Silentwhisper, I have tried to make a bug report about this before, but I have been unable to.
Mobs (Like wolves, pandas, ocelots, ammodillos, parrots {tamed and untamed} and creepers. {Those are the ones that I have tested}) can enter the Nether through a portal, but they can't go back through any portal aftarwards unless you breed them in the Nether (which you can't do with some mobs) and take them through to the overworld, but if you take them back to the Nether the bug still occurs, this bug dose not effect villagers or allays however and I think that this is the reson that it has not been noticed.
This bug has been a issue for me since one of the 1.18.something versions (or at least that is when I noticed it).
This will be so good for my realm! Oh wait…
heh oops😅
😂😂😂😂
lolll r.i.p. minecraft realms
It’s like 30% of people who can’t play realms so your in the unlucky 30% then i guess? Just gotta wait for it to be fixed :)
@@Quinn22b199% of people are in the 30%
Having just built this, I have a few tips. I recommend placing the buttons before you do the trap doors for each level. Also to make sure you don't skip any spots with the buttons, craft four stacks +10 buttons each time. I didn't do this for the first half and had to go back a couple times to inspect and find the missed areas. Also, seriously consider doing a shulker box loader here given the amount it produces. After one night of AFK with half the farm I had more than I'll probably ever use.. and then built a the second side. In the future I'll probably kick myself for not installing the loader when I go back to load up on gun powder manually. One day I hope we get the same shift click as Java..
I never want to see another button again. Also adding on, only built 10 layers, and to be honest it's more than efficient XD. Thanks for this one Silent, you're the one person I can always trust a farm from.
Currently in the middle of building this just got the multiple floors left to do, best creeper spawn I’ve seen and was fun to build
Mike Homer the GOAT
Saving this timestamp for when I get back and can finish the farm :D 20:44
Great farm only one issue the tridents stop working when I try afking for awhile they just stop doing damage is there a fix to this
The coral fans are crucial. They are the magic that makes it work. Doesn't matter what kind. I used all dead fire coral fans. Don't forget the button right before the soul sand blocks, or else the water from the bubble towers will prevent the xp and gun powder from moving up them.
A lot of work and time invested in collection of materials and building. Best to do just one layer at a time going up, instead of trying to do all of the path blocks, all of the ice, etc. Totally worth it, had a couple stacks of gun powder within a few minutes, and repaired all of my weapons and tools at the same time. If not everyone in your world has elytra, may be a good idea to put a ladder or something as a way for them to get down safely.
Finally a tutorial with an explanation of the mechanics
Phenomenal work! I was eagerly and nervously waiting for you to demonstrate where to throw the trident 😅 I struggled with making this trident killer work and you provided the key to unlocking it! 🥰😂
Add a bed and some scaffolding or building blocks to the building list and u might want to make an infinite water source up on the build too as you’ll need lots of water
Bring extra ice blocks and break them without silk touch in places you need water
Do more farms, you have the best farms by far
i got more on the way:)
@@silentwispererlet’s go
@@silentwisperer W
rip mike
this is the only guy i trust with bedrock farms
Remember, soul torches, soul lanterns, and soul camp fires don’t melt ice blocks. Useful to keep around while working on the farm.
We got Silent's Creeper only farm before GTA 6
It's Mikehorners.
Silent doing creeper farm tutorial?
Is this the afterlife?
Q: Why don't you use leaves as the roof like you usually do to get surface spawn?
Because creepers don’t have surface spawns
@@Mr.Monkey16579 Do you mean that the Creepers that spawn on the surface (under open sky) are considered cave spawns?
@@TheKingofkrypton yeah my mistake, I’ll look into it
Looks like Creepers have a surface spawn density cap of 5 and if I remember correctly a cave spawn density cap of 8. The bigger general mob farms pretty much max out cave spawns with all the layers below the top one, and when that's the case with a farm, designers tend to use that last, top layer that's still within your spawn radius to capture the surface spawns. This farm must not max out the cave spawn density cap for Creepers within spawn radius, so he stuck to the cave spawning layers to maximize spawns. I'm not certain on this, but it's what I put together from his explanations in the various farms videos I've watched from him and others.
@@TheKingofkrypton Alr thanks for doing your research
Yeah... ill make this when realms are up
Thank you so much! You’re one of the only _real_ bedrock farm makers!
does it work ?
@ haven’t tried it yet but I imagine it works since other people said it does and this TH-camr’s trusty
ty man this mc world im on is having a gunpowder crisis now i feel like a god saving everyone
Does anyone else also have the problem of the creepers not walking into the hole? And how do I fix this?
dude i got the same issue
I also have the same issue
Make sure you put down the dead coral and that all the trap doors are closed
@@ecuniverse9146 the ones around the outside of the hole? Or just the ones on the ice?
Do you fix the Problem ? i have this problem too :D
0:48 trapdoor slap kill chamber😅
a good chunk of the gunpowder is floating up to the afk platform instead of the chests for me, any fixes or is that just normal? I moved water placement in the line and that seemed to work a little bit, but it's still happening.
You are the only TH-camr I truly trust to know the farm will actually work as well as you say it does ❤
Wow this farm is amazing. Usually I struggle with making tutorials because I suffer alot with numbers and block spacing and figuring out where to place things but this tutorial was very thorough and that helped a ton and this farm works wonders. Thank you!!
12:12 ignore this just timestamping where I was cause my phone is at 1 battery percentage gotta finish it later
I wonder what could go wrong if one of the tridents have channeling enchantment...
nothing, theres solid blocks above it lightning cant reach it:)
if it was open to the sky, then you would get lightning lol
@@silentwisperer, what if I didn't place solid blocks above and instead used tinted glass for the roof? Will the lightning still go through it?
(Should I tear it all down? I mean the tinted glass)
mikehomer my goat 🐐
one. of. the. best. farms. i’ve. ever. made.
definitely takes a while to even build one side but with the amount i got over night honestly don’t even know if i need the other 🤯
I've built two layers just to see if it was working and it works great. This is the simplest creeper farm I've ever built. No more dragging cats on leads up 4 flights of stairs over magma for me
I’ve just completed building this and no creepers are spawning:/ I’m on 1.21.51 on mobile. There is an iceberg beneath it, could that be the reason? I put torches on it anyway. There is an ocean monument close by, could that be it? I’m far enough away I think.
Did you figure it out?
Would rates be affected if I were to encase both columns to make them look less ugly as long as I kept everything spawn proof?
I want to make the farm columns look like giant creepers.
you cant use solid blocks around the build or itll mess up their pathfinding
I don’t know if it’s because I’m on PlayStation 5 but I left the creeper farm running all night and only got 2,747. Supposed to be getting that every hour, render distance maybe? Do I need to light up underneath the farm to stop mobs from spawning underneath the farm? Can someone give me a hand?
Are the creepers falling into the chute correctly? Or are they just standing around? If so make sure the trapdoors are surrounding the coral fan by placing them on the underside of the dirt blocks
This works in bedrock on realms. I've got both towers built. I just need to do all trapdoor work and buttons on the second tower. Btw you don't need coral fan. You can still use trapdoors in the same place. We've loaded a shulker loader and auto crafter. This way we can load tons of shulker shells and chests and have them stack. We want to eventually build a quarry on bedrock so we need a TON of tnt
did you have an issue with the minecarts? when i place mine down the one that is supposed to be shaking doesnt shake
@@xinvis4661 I ran my redstone different. But if you want to invite me I'll set it up like mine and make sure it works before I get off
@@justanotherfng556 I was actually able to get it working, idiotically I was trying to use powered rails and not activator rails. Thanks though!
@@xinvis4661 np. Best thing to do is get rid of the lever. Put a repeater in that spot. Then run dust up to the line in front of the comparator. Do that for both sides. Then when you go to the afk platform you can turn on one switch and it will turn on the trident killers and the mine carts. That prevents you from having to flip every lever individually
@@justanotherfng556 Gotcha, I havent finished it yet but plan on later today. do you know if the farm works on 8 render distance? I build a pretty big auto sorter that needs to be on 8 render distance to work and Id rather not close the game to change it every time I got between the two
Farm works absolutely amazing, took a very long time to build and gather materials and building in survival is not very fun but it's 100% worth the grind
does it still work even after the update?
Is the honey blocks necessary?
Yes
No you can replace them with chests they have the same hitbox
@@zander663 Is that why they're important? I built the Trident Killer to accept a mob supply with water pushing them forward from a drop chute and had a Glass Block in place of the Honey Block. It still works fine, so I can't figure out the reason for the smaller sized block. And wouldn't it be more economical to use a Chest, as making a Honey Block takes extra steps and materials?
Excuse me, can ice be replaced with stones? I don't quite understand English...😅
no. It really needs the normal see though ice.
@@Oquwada why?
Thank you I know❤
I can assure you I’m gonna M myself off I’ve lit built this in a frozen ocean( I’m on ps5 bedrock) I followed the TH-camr modstops tutorial and nothing seems to be spawning I’ve clicked on yours and it’s pretty much the same thing I’m at a loss on what to do
Same here bro
im building it as well and im almost done. I'll tell you if i have the same issue.
Same here
I had the same problem. I put my sim chucks down to 4 and I started to get way more spawns. Also make sure the farm is in the right chunks like the vid said.
Built this farm works amazing thank you so much 😁
Just wanted to say. This farm works amazingly well. Thank you
11:17 mines not shaking or anything. I’ve checked and re done everything at least 5 times and nothings working. Lever is on and activator rails are powered, and I did everything exactly as shown. Anyone have any ideas what’s going on?
Sure they're Activator Rails? It's easy to accidentally grab your Powered Rails instead.
Also I had this and realised I forgot to activate the lever like a numpty haha :) fingers crossed that works for you!
@@TheKingofkryptonthank you so much 😊
So I built everything exactly how it is in the video however, the gunpowder when flowing thru the tub skips over the hole to go to the storage and goes up the water elevator to my afk platform, would should I do to fix this?
I need this answer too
Check your water streams. Only thing I can think of is
I also need this amswer
@@ThatGuy-ef2sf found answer change the water speeds by moving pressure plates and buttons. I made both side and had the same problem so I went into creative and messed with the speeds and words fine now.
1:02 How dare you kill the cat!!!
This is a great farm, I built BOTH sides of the farm and it only took 15 hours including gathering materials 😂really gonna help my grind to a full netherite beacon in HARDCORE minecraft 🔥
Helpful tip do buttons before trapdoors it’s a lot better
11:16 my minecraft doesnt shake and it doesnt kick me out of it
Activate the lever
mine doesn't either, even activating the lever doesn't do it. You got a solution yet?
Make sure you have the correct type of rail underneath, an activator rail
@@227vibes Thanks for pointing that out, man. I was having the same problem because I was using the wrong rails
Mines still not working- everything’s right I’ve checked and re done it like 5 times. Lever is on, rails are powered im stumped
Thanks! This build will be a fun afternoon or 2 😎✌️
silent this was brilliant, and the xp fountain is literally chefs kiss. after you said 16 rows of ice my jaw dopped lol. but i did it and i dont regret it. now for the other side.
For those wondering each layer is 150 per hour or 2.5 per minute or 0.041666666666667 per second
Tip: construct one layer at a time and put the buttons in place before the trapdoors also you might want to put cats around the AFK area in case any creepers get loose
Sometimes they have been falling off the bottom platform and walking over
if u only do 1 side i recommend putting ur sim distance at 4 chunks you get much better rates
Path blocks: *exist*
Mobs: .... yah im walking on that!
It is real but I have seen a lot of comments saying that it is not spawning so here is the thing:
Solution 1: building by the exact direction and exact part of chunk is important
2: you should not have used packed ice
3: If you are not high enough
4: IF you are not building in the biome mentioned in the video
It really works ! I only build 5 platforms and in five minutes it gave me more than 2 stacks gunpowder ! Guys try out this build in your world also ;)
Do your minecarts shake like in the video? Mine don’t and I’m wondering if it’ll cause issues
@@StonedApeAnimation There can be two possibilities , first maybe you used normal rails instead of activator rails and second is you did not powered the activator rails with lever .
Hope it helps :)
@@Colossal_dragon_official I used activator rails and they’re powered. I’m playing on console. Maybe bedrock is different on PC?
@@Colossal_dragon_official how about the third possibility- the update that released this week changed the way the minecart behaves in this specific scenario
@@StonedApeAnimation Nah bro , my Minecraft is in latest version and it still works
Anyone having problems with making the minecart shake, make sure you're using activator rails - NOT POWERED RAILS
Você salvou minha fazenda, obrigado
You can also place 1 water source block at the top and place kelp all the way up, break it and replace the bottom block with soul sand. Breaking the ice blocks is so much easier though I didn't know that worked too
Farm works if you follow every instruction. My one recommendation for changing this farm is to make the Trident killer switch a pressure plate to the northwest of the bubble column.
The reason for this is too make sure that it is only on when you are standing at the AFK point, and you never wander away from your Trident Killers while they are running.
Finished second half. I am receiving the full advertised rates.
Took me 10 hours to build ty for humbling my time😅
The trident killer keeps breaking, any tips for fixing it permanently instead of having to rethrow the trident every time I use the farm?
This is a phenomenal build and a very well done video thank you so much! I wish it was clearer how to find the chunk border and if I need the sword to have only looting on it. But genuinely not a big deal amazing tutorial and farm. Still works in 1.21 bedrock amazingly
