Since soulshard pretty much become extinct with recent update, I'm looking for a way to get mostly blaze rod and ender pearl. I don't wanna build vanilla mob farm so that out of the way. The only ways I can see is installing dartcraft or using mfr mob essense.
1.6.4 Mob Farm Without SoulShard
- Thread starter Neoxon
- Start date
It's been in 1.6.4 for awhile now, problem is that for mod spawning (pretty much what it was made for) it's not really any better then vanilla spawners. With options like MFR and Dartcraft SS2 really does suck.
And it will crash your game the moment you try to move a spawner.
I have been using the cursed earth method. mmmm delicious flammable cursed earth. With drawbridges so it can be turned off
And plus, having to destroy spawners to even think about having an SS2 setup is a bit of a nuisance on a server that hasn't been reset in a long time. Need to travel so many chunks just to find a dungeon/mineshaft that hasn't been visited.

TBH breaking spawners has always been a part of soul shards, but there was a bonus in tier level gained from doing so. You also didnt need to break spawners at all if you had the time to grind kills. In SS2 breaking spawners was a requirement and that made me sad. After breaking 4 spawners just to get tools & material for 1 spawner, you still were stuck with vanilla spawn mechanics. This meant you still had to be near the spawner and there was no increase in spawn rates.
IMHO this made the mod not worth it. For passive mobs you were better off using modified vanilla farms in combo with MFR or using anything other than SS2. For hostile mobs you were better off picking up the spawner and bringing it home. Or using any of the other numerous methods of mob farming.

You do know that soul shard pretty much become crap after the update, like vanilla mob spawner>soul shard
Don't be too harsh on them, they might not have used it and only saw that it is out for 1.6.4.
