Seriously though, it doesn't take that long just to walk up some stairs, and if it does, then deal with it, because like you said you don't really have many other options.

Hi there. I met Mr. Burrows around on the server and he was nice enough to show me this thread :smile.gif:
I've been playing the "World in the air" seed mostly in singleplayer for a long time, and after revisiting the forums, I realized there there is a SMP server for it. That's great!
Sadly, where some of my base was in singleplayer, it is covered by other people, so I can't simply rebuild my base haha.
Anyway enjoy some of my random Pig farm videos! I would be interested in building one on your server!
How long have you been playing Minecraft: Since Alpha Are you awesome: Like a potato Best creation you've eever built: 7 Segment Display Unit, Automatic reed farm, Automatic Porkchop cooker, Hidden doorways, tnt traps, pit traps, lava traps, dispenser traps, piston traps, etc etc. Do you havve knowledge in redstoen wiring?: Only a little I say potatoes you say _______: Awesome What kind of Prof. would you liek to be (see below): Janitor
Thanks,i took this concept and improved it, heres my improved version:
I took your design and implemented a double piston design so that it completely pushes pigs through the lava. Pigs that clip through the piston cook while clipping and when they die, the porkchop falls into the collection area. Any pig that survives, gets killed by the fall damage and their porkchops get pushed into the collection stream.
Much better than the older over-engineered design I had. Now efficiency is about 80%. I'm quite happy with it. It's fast too.
He used a mob spawner. Probably not legitly, but it's actually possible to get a pig spawner legitly. I believe if a mob spawner is exposed to sunlight, it becomes a pig mob spawner. I may be mistaken, though.
I used a mob spawner, which you can't get legitimately, but I have opted to use it in this video to test the machine and to save recording time.
In reality, you could build a large lighted grass platform where pigs spawn, and have water push them into the machine itself.
Hi everyone. I've been doing some testing to make a fully automated cooked porkchop test of concept machine. I've made it in a way where there is one collection area together with a somewhat consistent porkchop yield.
The basic concept is to have a piston break the lava as soon as it covers the piston. This allows for minimal contact of the pig with the lava and the pig is pushed out of the lava into the collection room to die.
So far efficiency is tagged at about 60%. There is a small problem with pigs clipping the pistons a bit, I'll try to figure out a solution for it.
Here's a video of the concept:
Let me know if you'd like the world save to see the machine for yourself. It's a messy unimpressive world though.
Update:
Here's Version 2.0, props to KabouterPlop for initial design idea.

The advantage of this is that I've wired it so that all the 5x5 pistons can be activated and deactivated by a single input.
Here's another from the top showing the pistons extended.

The redstone wiring is messy because it's mainly trial and error, so I don't have the exact shematics for it :S

That's a pretty awesome design. It sucks that Notch made pistons unable to propel items that high compared to the mod :sad.gif:

Burning pigs have been dropping cooked porkchops for quite a while now, which was what inspired this contraption :smile.gif:

I've actually tried it, unfortunately pistons put out fires when they move netherrack or when they move on top of it.
Lava seems to be the only viable one for me since the lava can move back and fourth to reset the flammable area for the pigs.
