Iron farm for spawn

just saying it is possible to make it underground just excavate the top 20 layers of dirt/stone then create the farm then put grass on top with some terraforming

 

You cant cover the top tech, villages need sunlight

 

Ampitheater style then? Done right, it would hardly be an eyesore.

 

Now that is an idea I like

 

Refreshing and Removing Houses
Once a house is added to a village, a villager has to stay nearby to "refresh" it (range is the same as for adding houses: up to 16 blocks for both horizontal axes, and up to 4 blocks vertically). Otherwise, the house will be detached from the village after about 1 minute. If there are no other houses in the village, the village will be removed from the game as well.

When refreshing a house, it doesn't matter if the house check fails. So when trying out house setups, make sure to destroy the door block after every change to force the game to check the door again. Since Minecraft 1.4, village data is stored in the savegame, meaning houses will not be rechecked after a restart. Walking out of range to unload their chunks will still reset them though. There is one exception: villages in the spawn area will not be reset this way because the area will always be loaded.



Another thing I did, was destroy the dirt pillar that acts as the "roof," the thing that's making the doors into "houses." The game doesn't update this right away, and still sees it as a village, but if it ever does reload that chunk, it should evaluate it again and not see a village at all.


There 2 sites of prof on my theory

 

Tech, theory and practice are two different things. in theory you are technically right, but in practice you are wrong

 

Half the people that play on vanilla are creative admins... if you cant make an iron golem farm look pretty then, well, maybe you shouldn't be a creative admin....

 

I have proven my theory true myself just now

i covered all the transparent blocks with opaque grass and the iron farm was still running at its usual rate

so once a valid door is created it will not have to reach sunlight again unless the chunk is reloaded

 

Two daily players on Vanilla (out of the >15 players that play daily) are Creative admins, and neither of them want a huge and loud farm near spawn.

I guess there are 4 Creative admins that occasionally visit Vanilla. Out of the 117 people on whitelist.

 

oiShocKWavesv I think I am the only creative admin who has placed blocks apart from tnt on the server. People are kinda lazy in survival after having WE and voxel for years. Don't talk shit mate.

I know multiple people have started iron farms outside of spawn. I also plan to do the same. I really just don't see the necessity for it, and I'm sure we can find a good use of the area instead. Looks like we will probably get the farm at this point, but I still think it is a lame idea.

 

I think Z and Nava need to swap descriptions, each suit the other better...

 

Guess I'll post too, I don't think we need an iron farm at spawn cuzz then ppl will want other farms there and then it'll just be crowded with farms, now maybe we can have one that isn't right at spawn but out 20-30 blocks from spawn...just so it's not in the way of building a nicer spawn in the future

follow the buzzards

 

there is a 10 chunk range around spawn called spawn chunks where the iron titan has to be, but the entire iron farm may be submerged underground I myself need the iron farm Now there is a design that can be created outside of spawn, but it requires more materials and complicated redstone.

 

So, it has to be within 160 blocks of spawn?

 

thats the iron titan design yes but the iron towers can be anywhere

 

any design that uses village chaining needs spawn chunks, so the titan, foundry, or trench just to reference tangotek's designs

 

here is where you are wrong again
the iron towers is a village chainer that auto rebuilds itself therefore it can be anywhere on the map

-The edit was unnecessary, Tech-

 

how exactly does that rebuild? all chains I know of break if reloaded because chains are not supposed to exist in normal MC. as soon as its reloaded, it forgets the chaining and becomes one massive village. the towers look like a system that just uses multiple villages just far enough away from eachother to be out of link range

 

watch the video i added to the link it shows you exactly how
