I'm messing around with the trial of realms to see if I want to host one for family and close friends, but I can't figure out how to disable the idle kick. Can the host not remove the idle kick?
I just did the process in the video Hex posted. Works like a charm. I now have a ladder straight up to the roof of my nether. :-D
A couple tips... When you're using the ender pearl to initially get above the nether, the two block hole he shows has to be just below the top layer of bedrock. I don't think he explicitly said that. Also, bring several extra ender pearls to use to kill yourself if something goes wrong, like you accidentally bring a detector rail instead of an activator rail (who would do something that stupid? *blush*), you won't be stuck up there.
I'm not sure. I just started on the PC in 1.9. I was console for a little while before that. I know a version similar to the video you linked works on console. Has this been confirmed to work with 1.9 release?
Actually I'm planning to try that when I have time. But when you're afk in front of the kill chamber, the upper modules would be >70 blocks away from you so golems are very likely to freeze there. In that case you'll need to pipe up items with a dropper tower to the ground level.
Ahh. That's a good point. But that's a couple of builds down the road for me. If you do that build before I do, let me know how it works.
Got her working! Thanks for the tip! I won't be using iron block for building like I do on PC, where I can stack modules and afk for hours, but I'm good with iron armor, tools, and components. In hindsight, I wish I'd dug down for the first module, so I could stack a second one on top. Also, I wish I'd built it near the witch hut so I could afk it and my witch farm (once I build it) at the same time. Guess I can always build another near my witch farm after I get it up and going.
Started on the kill chamber and ran into a problem... The signs burn, so I tried open metal trap doors to hold the lava blade. But they're too thick, and he can't fit through the two wide hole with them on either side. How do you hold your lava blade in place?
Maybe it would work better to have the kill chamber and afk point halfway in between. Then you'd be 35 blocks when they spawn. Just a thought.
Still thinking of starting over with the first cell at a low enough level that I can stack one on top of it. With phone AFK'ing being more of a pain, more cells would be nice.
Well, I finally got it working. Turns out, the magic number for villagers is 16, like in the older PC version, not 10 like the current PC version or 15 like the PE wiki says. As soon as I moved a 16th villager in, a golem spawned.
I I ran into the same problem trying to stack modules. In hindsight, I should have dug down to about layer 30 to build the first module, then I could have stacked them. I may try that and rebuild it. Or I might just build another module 70 blocks away horizontally and connect them to a central killing area.
That's weird. I'm pretty sure I don't have a dimension off, but I'll double check the video. For your spawning floors, are they full block or half slabs? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to figure this out.

Someone posted a solution that worked for them, but sadly, it didn't do the trick for me.

I can't even get it to open. I double click on it, and nothing happens. I've tried the .exe and the .jar.

I looked at the comments in th video that hex linked. Recent ones indicate it's working. Ima try it in a little bit, and I'll report back here.

So how are we breaking the bedrock nether roof now? I'm hearing the dark oak tree isn't working in 1.9.

That. Is. Awesome!! Thanks for the screenshots! I'm inspired.

Ok. I see what you did. When I get a break, I'll try it and report back.
