Thanks for giving my video and design a try! :) I hope it serves you well! Sorry about the guardian spawns on the outskirts, and the missing floor layer. I’ll see about getting those fixed!

It does! :)

Thank you! I appreciate you giving my video and design a try! :) As for the killing chamber, I’m sorry I didn’t include a tutorial. There’s a video up on my channel explaining it, so you can see the Redstone behind it, but not an instructive video, I’m sorry. If I ever remaster this tutorial, I’ll be way more refined in how I go about it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Spawns are equal as long as you spawn-proof nearby caves. I just hadn’t done that on my survival world yet :) If you find it easier to elevate all the Guardians into the sky and kill then up there, then that’s an option! Although the rates will be slightly worse because Guardians will be alive for longer and take longer to process, thus occupying space in the mob cap for a longer time.

@@that_moonshine thx for the info :)

@@donovanschoor1473 Anytime, friend!

I don’t have the exact items per hour rate, but it’s roughly one full chest of each drop per hour WITHOUT Looting III; a little more for fish, a little less for Prismarine shards. You could certainly optimize a design like this using nether portals! It would likely involve some chunk loaders, so be prepared; but yes, the farm can be upgraded in that way.

@@that_moonshine thanks 🙏🙏

Yes! This farm will work perfectly in the latest updates, and into the foreseeable future! :)

There are just so many different ways to do it that suit different people’s needs, so I thought it would be best to keep my tutorial generally applicable to everyone :) If you’re curious about my personal design, I have a separate video exploring the design and functionality of my killing chamber and sorting system!

@@that_moonshine please sir...make a ful tutorial of your guardian farm killing chembar and sorting system... Because I really like your design.. So I need your design tutorial... Please sir kindly do it..

@@dilipbiswas166 We shall see! I have plans to remaster this entire tutorial down the road to make it better. I’ll be sure to cover my sorting system in that video!

@@that_moonshine thank you sir... I need your full killing chember tutorial... I'm waiting for the video..

Thanks for sharing your experience, and for giving my video and design a try! I think what’s more important than knowing how to build my guardian farm is understanding how and why it works in the first place :) Once you know the fundamentals, you can start to get creative and make your own design choices. So I 100% agree with you, and I’ll keep trying to explain my designs so I can teach the underlying principles :)

Awesome! I’m glad to hear it’s working well!! :) Thanks for giving my video and design a try, friend :)

Good question! The reason is that Minecraft can only spawn a certain number of Guardians at once (typically around 60). The tanks that I have on my farm are big enough to capture all of these spawns, so we don’t need the extra space. Minecraft can spawn all 60 in this small area instead of over a much larger area. If we were to make the tanks the entire size of the monument bounding box, it would take way more time and resources to build the farm. Plus, Guardians would move through the farm much slower, since after they spawn, they have to go up the bubble column and then flow 58 blocks rather than just 16. If the Guardians spend a long time flowing through the farm, then they’re taking up a mob cap spot that entire time; so if we get them through a smaller farm quicker, then we free up that spot for a new Guardian to spawn. Great question about farm design! Every mob farm has to find a balance between providing enough eligible spawning spaces, while making sure to process mobs quickly and be scalable. Hopefully this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions :) Shine on!

@@that_moonshine Oh, finally someone explained this! Thanks, it makes total sense. I'm not sure what I should do now, since I'm halfway into building a 58x58 one hahah lol

@@LRibeiro97 Ah, I’m sorry to have gotten back to you too late then 😂 But hey! Creativity always leads to something good! You either discover or learn! :) And I think your farm can still be very good.

@@that_moonshine No problem. I undid what I have built and have now finished your design, while also cleaning the whole 60x60 area until y=0, lol. Thanks a lot for the video. Success!

@@LRibeiro97 Wow, well done! Thanks for giving my design a try :) I hope the farm serves you well!

Im playing on 1.20.1 how much can it effect

The game version won’t have much effect on the farm, unless you’re on a very old game version. Here are some common problems with the farm not working: 1) You play Bedrock Edition (Xbox, PS4/5, Switch, or Pocket Edition); this farm is a Java Edition farm only, and won’t work in other versions. 2. You’re on a server; this farm still works on small servers with friends, but on large public servers, there may be significant game rule changes that can break the farm. 3. The water tanks don’t have a full-block roof; water source blocks with sky access suppress 97% of spawn attempts. You need to make sure the tanks are covered by full, solid blocks. 4. Nearby caves are loaded and not spawn-proofed; if you’re using the farm in manual mode with your player-character down by the drop chute, you’ll be loading nearby caves where other mobs can spawn and take up the mob cap. This drastically decreases the rates of the farm if these caves aren’t spawn proofed. 5. Your AFK platform is too high; if you AFK too far above the farm, the Guardians will despawn before hitting the bottom of the drop chute. Try Y=95 for a good height. 6. Your tanks don’t have full water sourceblocks; Guardians can only spawn in sourceblocks, not flowing water, so make sure every block in the tank is a sourceblocks. These are just common issues that can impact the farm :) There could be others, but these are most likely. Let me know if any of these help, or if you need further troubleshooting. Also, feel free to join my Discord (link in ‘About’ tab on my page) to talk to me directly about any problems you encounter :) Shine on, friend!!

Hi from America! :) Thanks for giving my video a try, and for the positive feedback! I’m glad hear it’s working well for you :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you, my friend! :) I unfortunately don’t have exact numbers, but it’s roughly one double chest of a each drop per hour. Prismarine crystals are a little less common, while fish are a little more common. Those rates are without Looting III. I hope this helps! :)

Yes! :)

@@that_moonshine Yay! :D

BONK 🦍

Thank you! :) Nobody argues quite like Mongo 🌙

It do. Bonk noise make brain go funny

It did, in fact, end my whole career

Yeah my game audio ended up being super quiet. I’ll have to fix that 😂 But the psychological impact remains

Bonk

Mongo like Bonk!!

Mongo appreciate comment! BONK!

Thank you, friend! :) Glad you enjoyed

Oh it comes back later, that's odd

I love how it says 5 comments and half of them are just you. XD

There’s game audio all throughout; at least there should be. You’re right that it’s very quiet though, I’ll probably increase it for future episodes :)

Moonshine’s BACK, Baby!! 🌙

Glad to hear your own version is doing well! :) Thank you for watching my video, friend

Short answer is Yes! :)

Ahh, I'm sorry friend; a full build tutorial would've taken far too much video time. But! I have a Litematic of this farm available to download for free! You can use the Litematic to copy mu build block for block! :)

I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching :) I’m sure that your block palette will also make for an impressive and aesthetic farm!

Sadly not :( In my novice ignorance, I lacked the foresight to do this. I’m very sorry. With newer tutorials going forward, I’ll be sure to include a resource list.

Unfortunately not :(

I’m sorry to hear that :( There could be a number of things causing it to not work. If you want to join my Discord and chat about it with me, I’d be happy to help you! :)

The problem with this is that when you have 63 of the desired item enter the hopper, you now have 63 + 44 filter items for a total of 107 items; this means the Redstone signal output by the comparator briefly becomes 4, allowing adjacent sorting units to unlock and let items through. In other words, the signal becomes too strong, and “bleeds” to the units next to it, breaking them.

@@that_moonshine that makes sense, thanks

@@Caleb-ip9mi No problem! Good thinking, though :)

Yes! :)

I don’t have precise rates, I’m sorry. It’s roughly full double chest of each drop per hour. A little less for Prismarine Crystals, a little more for fish. Next time I do a farm tutorial, I’ll be sure to measure precise rates. Thanks anyways for trying out my farm design and watching the video! :)

It doesn't have to be in the middle :) The bounding box is defined by the edges of the monument. AS long as your farm falls within that bounding box, you can put it anywhere! Let me know if you have any other questions :)

There could be a lot going on. It depends on the kind of server. If you're playing on a small server with your friends, then likely what's going on is that the mob cap is getting split between all online players. Guardians are part of the Cave Mob Cap, which by default is 60. If your friends are loading caves and spawning 60 cave mobs elsewhere, you will see 0 Guardians in your farm. If you're playing on a big server like Hypixel or something like that, then chances are they've made significant changes to mob caps and spawning mechanics. This kind of farm, and virtually any mob farm, will not work as expected. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions :)

@that_moonshine it's a small fabric server, but the issue is specifically the bubble columns. Full soulsand floor? Zero spawns. Swap in normal blocks? Spawns fine. It's definitely linked to spawning in bubble columns.

@@acep7415 Hmm that’s definitely very interesting. Minecraft by default has no issue spawning mobs in bubble columns, and I also play on a Fabric client. Maybe look into some of your mods to see if their configurations take away mob spawning. The only other thing I can think of would be to double check that all the water in the tank is full sourceblocks.

Yes! Simply raise the bottom of the drop chute by 1 block so that the Guardians survive the drop, and then you can kill them manually. Just be sure to light up all nearby caves so you get maximum spawn rates! :)

Thanks, friend! :) Glad you’re here

It does not have to be in the middle of the bounding box! You can move it around. You will, however, have trouble loading just the Guardian Farm and NOT the slime farm; I recommend an AFK spot high in the sky. Although, I believe that slimes do NOT count toward the cave mob cap, so having both loaded shouldn’t affect the rates of either. I’ll admit, I could be wrong about that though.
