Idk i just wanted to put it out there since this is a new concept(i think)

it is really simple and shoud be scalable (it is really laggy) I alrady buid it on the donut smp so that isnt a problem.

The Slie generate new Silverfish wich die and generate new slime. This scales expodential

I came up with an interesting solution for a niche need I had and thought I'd share.

This is a dropper latch that will timeout if not flipped back and thus flip iteself. When the piston (regular) with the RS block is pulsed, it flips the latch and turns the lamp off, this also starts the countdown via the hopper clock. If the other piston (regular) does not receive a pulse to reset the latch externally by the time the hopper runs dry, it will flip itself via the observer looking at the rails powered by the comparator reading the hopper.

Usecase:

I'm using this as box detection and as part of a system recycler circuit in my redstone factory. When a request is made to restock a crafter with items this latch is flipped. When the output is off 4 pistons retract that control various different components in the system. When the requesting slice receives a box the latch is flipped back and the next request is processed. Should a box never be sent do to no stock or some error, the hopper clock is timed for the longest it should take to restock the furthest crafter. When it runs out the latch flips and an alert is turned on that a request failed, but the next request is still processed so that the system doesn't come to a halt do to 1 item being out of stock.

Java, 26.2, long time casual (very casual, no automatic farms) bedrock player. The redstone in java is much better so i wanted to give it a try while also getting into the core mechanics of minecraft. Saw This Wattles Video tha looked promising, ended up being terrible. Actually, every farm I've made from youtube so far has needed major tweeks for it to be effiecient, but anyway, this raid farm is killing me.

After Placing 18,000 buttons then realizing raid mobs still spawn on buttons, I decided to redo some of the farm. My platform is at y+63. At Y=54 I have one villager with a job block bed, and a bell that rings every second to get the attention of the raiders.

This was a big improvement, but mobs are still spawning farther away, not on my platform, which makes sense because I did not spawn proof properly. What I don't understand is why they keep spawning but not heading towards the center of the "village." If it is too far, then why even spawn them there in the firs place? I have exited and reloaded, hit them indivisually, ran away, exited, reloaded, nothing seems to work. The only thing that could aggro them is if I hit them, leave the game, and join back. This works, but as soon as I run away again it;s like they're AI just turns back off. This is the second time it has happened at this location, but it happens at other spaws aswell. The only thing to ever attack me when I get close are vindicators unfortunatley.

I undersatnd I could make a new, better farm, and I probaly will, but I want to know why this happens and how to fix it. I originally thought itg was entity culling but it seems to be the actual A.I. Itself

Last picture is my perfectly sqaured farm layout. As said early, it is sitting at y= 63, raiders fall in a whole leaving them wityh 1/2 heart, then I finish them off.

Can someone help me my farm is only spawning iron golems in one side of the villagers room it's working but way slower than it should be. There are no golems outside.

I'm having issues with items continuously skipping hoppers in my sorting system. In this clip I was testing the skip rate for the last column of chests in the system. I have them properly aligned with honey blocks at each corner, so I'm guessing it has something to do with the random momentum given to each item by the bubble elevator throwing the timing off? If there's any quick fix I could add to the top of the bubble elevator that'd be great since I'd like to keep it

I've done a couple of tests to figure out the skip rate. With 10 stacks of mixed blocks there's about a 0.8% skip rate over any given hopper, and with 10 stacks of a single item it goes up to 3.4%

Here's a link to images of the clock I'm using and the corners of the water stream: https://imgur.com/a/KgdmsvF

This seems to be a pretty common question, but I haven't been able to find a solution on other similar posts. Why can spiders still spawn in this farm? I've tried a few different layouts of slabs/trapdoors to block off any 3*3 spaces, but spiders keep clogging up the farm no matter what I do. Am I missing something obvious?

I have an iron golem farm setup with 20 villagers and I always occasionally see two golems spawning when I pass by the farm as I’m playing so id assume it’s set up properly. I also have 5 tamed cats by the villagers. I went afk overnight for ~7 hours and this is all it produced. However I set my simulation distance to 8 chunks so I could afk my gold farm at the same time. I didn’t necessarily look at the chunk distance but I know I was exactly 100 blocks away from the center point of the iron farm the whole time. My gold farm is silentwisperers 4 portal one that produces a lot of piglins so maybe that’s why? Idk any insight would be appreciated.

I have noticed that since the 1.26, some farms that automatically kill mobs dont use the trident killer anymore and instead use this system of a mob with spear in a minecart like the one in the picture (Which is a screenshot of a video tutorial for a creeper farm).

What is the reason behind this change? What are its advantages?
