Mob farm for rare drops

[Heliomance]

I'm running on a server with Monster, plus Witchery. Is there any way to do a fully automatic mob farm that will get rare drops?

 

[tindin]

yes. there are many ways to do a mob farm what patch did you want to take?

 

[adamich]

+1 to TS. we want to know all ways.
I know that CC turtles counts as player.
As options Thaumcraft golems, TT plates, may be OpenComputers turtles.

MFR Grinder does not work anymore?
I feel its still the easiest way to get some rare drops. And even cheep!

Best way to get rare drops in killer Joe with a enchanted Flux sword and a wireless charger near by

problem is, it's Monster and I believe that Monster doesn't have that Ender IO version with Killer Joe yet.
if it was 1.7.10 I'd suggest using the diamond spike from Extra Utilities

 

[tindin]

oh right sorry forgot that one is still 1.6.4. turtles should do the job then and they are pretty easy to set up

 

[adamich]

and still only non magic solutions)))
any other WITH taumcraft/botania/witchery?
for 1.7.10 versions

 

[tindin]

do a mob droping trap and have ether a golem or a flower pick up the drops?

A drop trap almost certainly won't get you rare drops. A Thaumcraft defender golem might, but may or may not require a visor or some other upgrade.

The MFR grinder definitely should, as will ExtraUtilities spikes. At least, the iron spikes did back when they were the only type of spike the mod added; I'm not sure what the differences between the materials are now, though.

mfr doesnt get rare drops it mainly gets vanilla drops not much from other mods

Really? Huh. Could've sworn that I'd gotten TiC miniature hearts out of one in the past...

 

[Dentvar]

I would say I did too. Always used MFR for all mobfarms in 1.6 and never remember to have anyproblems. Maybe just my brain whos getting old. But give it a try.

MFR conveyors/EU fans and an Autonomous Activator with an ingenious recharging/repairing setup for the sword.

 

[Zarkov]

MFR grinders are worth a shot. I think the slime essence farm might even work in Monster, or maybe it was fixed in the last version..

Or an unbreakable sword... either the unstable ingot sword from ExtraUtilities or a TiCo sword with a whole bunch of obsidian plates should to it.

My way is more fun

 

[adamich]

if U has Extra Utils, then better use diamond spikes or unstable ingot sword

and still only non magic solutions)))

 

[Yusunoha]

again, OP is using the FTB modpack Monster, which is 1.6.4
diamond spikes from Extra Utilties is something from 1.7.10

 

[Heliomance]

MFR grinder tested to not work - it doesn't get brains from angry zombies or bat wool from bats, which are the main things I want to farm. Currently setting up a test for iron spikes from Extra Utils.

(The pack isn't quite vanilla Monster - where possible, mods are updated to the latest version. Still 1.6.4 though.)
