Fully Automatic Wither Boss Farm

[Ace5000]

It exists. And works well. Created by two members of my server.

That was pretty interesting, didn't know it was possible that way. Let me know when they put out the video of the tutorial for it!

 

[Ace5000]

Will do!

 

[Maico]

Niice , I'd love a tutorial on that farm!

 

[Abdiel]

Very cool. I made one with Redpower Frames and Deployers a few days ago. Also using forcefields to contain and kill it.

Impressive, but a bit inefficient looking :3 the wither is precisely 4 blocks tall, 1 block wide and long. But so long as it does what it's supposed to who cares lol.

 

[Abdiel]

Hmm I always sort of assumed it was 3x3x3, since that's how big the structure is. Good to know - if for nothing else, a smaller containment field needs less energy to run.

I was wondering when someone was going to use MFFS for wither killing. Kudos for getting a turtle to make it for you to fully automate the process.

Oh man I came here to write a post about it and saw the thread title, I thought someone had beaten me to it. Hi Ace!

 

[Ace5000]

XD hey Atyp! settin up the tutorial?

 

[ATYPICAL]

I got kind of sidetracked a little bit so the explanation is not great cause I ran out of time. If you have any questions, just ask!

Can't wait to eventually get that kind of thing going. just spent about 6 hours on a blaze farm - after about 10 minutes of waiting I got over 100 in a small area and punched em all to death to help fill my soul shard :X

What would be really interesting is if someone killed enough of the wither to make a spawner out of those :X

 

[ATYPICAL]

You can't get Wither (boss) souls. You can get skelly souls, but that's about it.

 

[Daemonblue]

That's kinda lame, seeing as it shows a wither spawner in NEI :X

 

[ATYPICAL]

Sorry, I meant as far as I know. I tested it in creative and from what I remember its not possible. So if anyone can find a way to get some of the weird spawners, or peaceful mob spawners, let us know!

Imagine that...Tier 5 wither spawner
I dont think anyones world or auto wither-killer can survive up to 4 withers per 2 seconds....yet

Ooooh, I don't know, a npc killer mffs covered in warded stone covered in tesla coils should kill everything.

The question is how to pick up the loot .

Obsidian Pipes with engines attatched?
And you'll need a TONNE of tesla coils to kill them quickly enough.

Ooooh, I don't know, a npc killer mfsu covered in warded stone covered in tesla coils should kill everything.

The question is how to pick up the loot .

I can solve that: you don't! =3

 

[Poppycocks]

Actually, I just realized, All you need to kill any amount of withers and pick up the loot as well is a very tall npc killer mffs. Withers float down gently and if you build it tall enough, then they will be dead before they have a chance to destroy the obsidian pipes / transposers / whatever. This also means that they wouldn't destroy the spawner when they spawn.

Too bad it's all theorycrafting .
