this thread is pointless, the dev team have many news channels to inform us of...... well news

Someone recently posted that in the future Notch won't be able to fart without someone posting about it, I guess we are on our way.

So you tried killing a pig and mounted it instead, and when you switched to third person, it turned out to be a sheep.

Interesting story bro.

he must have found those rare special mushrooms in a dark cave :biggrin.gif:

it has been out for ages :|



thats pretty cool :biggrin.gif:

wait till you see the creeper face/palm picture.

Don't make anything!

I'm serious!

just mess around with small circuits experimenting with how redstone/torches/repeaters interact with different blocks/ect. learn the quirks first hand, and in the proccess of finding the quirks/behaviours you will think I can use this to build X?

Have fun :tongue.gif:

or like this:


many options these days

That's really awesome. Why only 2 pressure plate/pistons stacked? Why not more?

I acidently hit add reply before I finished my post, I kept the height small for the tutorial so it was easier to see in the pics.

Now these blades interconnect with each other easily including the delivery system, from the length and the width so its easy to expand this trap quickly:



here is 8 full size blades interconnected in width and length.
I just mirror the design for each quarter of a squre to get all the drops flowing into the middle:



and last but not least here is the save file with the full sized trap, it can still use some improvements, like getting rid of the squid but it works damn good still.

MobKilla - 100k save file

So here is a short tutorial and pics of how I made this trap:

WE start off with a single spawn cell, the mob spawns on the pressure plate and get pushed off by the piston right away.


then we add another opposite leaving a 1 block gap for falling:


you can stack these on top of each other for as many as you like:


Then put 8 of them in a row, this forms the basis of one blade.
I have used contrasting colours for this tutorial for clarity but you could use just about any solid blocks:


then add the chutes to keep the mobs going straight down to the killing zone (i have made them short here but you would want them to be about 24 block high or more :



then cap the ends, I would normally use a stone block here but have glass for clarity:



now the killing zone and collection system,
the mobs fall between the 2 stone block onto the fences covered by water, the water is flowing from left to right and sweeps the drops under a 1 block high gap through the signs that are holding the water back.
they drop into the channel beside the killing zone and are moved along very fast by water over ice.




Here is a pic of the spawing cell connected to the killing/collection system, with a really short chute for the purpose of this tutorial. this is a completed blade.

yay finally back from work, damn long day 14 hours :dry.gif:

yes its just a basic mobs spawn/fall/die and water brings me the loot. but its the design to maximise that process that counts and as Malacodor said pistons help alot.

I'm just getting some pics together to show how this works.

Hmm actually come to think of it the design looks very similar to the one I tried out originally, with lots of cells leading to one fall trap. My experiences with this layout weren't good, the itemrate started at about 56k but then quickly fell off to only a few hundred due to mobs landing on eachother and negating their fall damage. Save file please?

there is 1 fall point for every 2 spawn points, so they get killed below their own spawn, the items themselfs are the only things moved around.

I'm at work now but will post some files when I get home and explain how it all goes together.

Looking at how it works, this was done mostly trial and error to see how far the mobs had to fall to die, right?

Or am I wrong?

actually I just used the 24 block limit for spawing and added a couple more for good measure, seems to kill them.

[UPDATE]128k trap video and save on post #76


Tutorial and save file at post #45 for 100k trap

This is a mob trap done in MCedit of course :wink.gif: before people start complaining about being legit and why you need that many drops, I did this to see how far we can push the envelope.

its made of blades with each blade being 8x9 blocks with this trap having a total of 80 blades :blink.gif:

In a 10 minute period I collected 17,151 items so should do 102,906 hour. This was the first full run I did so who knows how much more I can squeeze out of it.

I will post more detailed pics of its guts after I get some sleep, but here is a vid of it in action and another of me testing a single blade.

You don't even need Sheep to make a bed!

Real men make beds from spiders :laugh.gif: Man up and leave the sheep alone.

So I know there have been minecart doors posted already, but none have been 2 way and simple to build. I did make this awhile ago but had probs making a vid of it. Problems sorted :biggrin.gif: So here is a vid.
