What should I use for my moat? (Empty moat, any block)

[Albin_Xavier]

So, I've got a 5 block deep pit in the ground surrounding the entrance to my underground base, and I currently have iron spikes in the pit, is there anything that does more damage to mobs?

I'm using the Direwolf20 Pack in Creative Mode

MFFS can do a lot more damage, if that's something you want to mess with. Are you looking to collect mob drops, or do you not care about them?

I will, also have MFFS, the moat is for aesthetics. (I like the idea of it being nearly impossible to breach my fortress.) But I do want it to kill things. And I don't care about mob drops, since I will have Mob Farms and I'm in creative mode.

I've edited the first post so people know I'm in creative mode.

Lava?

Hmmm... I want to say Resonant Ender, since I'm on a bit of a spree with that, but what about some of the other TE3 liquids? Depending on the biome and if you want to have it fit with that, you can either freeze things to death, or burn them with TE3's liquids (I'd name them, but I can't spell them at all ).

Oh, and quicksand is always fun.

 

[Albin_Xavier]

What I want is to kill them as quickly as possible, with one block.

 

[Padfoote]

So it sounds like lava, or the TE3 liquids, since those kill fairly fast. This is of course if we're talking just liquids, since I'm sure there's blocks that can kill much faster.

I was using iron spikes, so any block.

Edit: Edited the title.

AE spatial storage?

How would that work? (I've used AE, just not the spatial storage)

 

[AndreMaartens]

Spatial storage stores every 10 seconds while they system cycles through where a te3 pipe extracts the cell after storing thus trapping them mobs in a storage cell world and putting putting the cell into a autonomous activator set to use only the first slot in sneak mode thus taking the cell and it's housing apart thus deleting the mobs then send those parts to a cyclic assembler which put them back to a cell and transport it back to the spatial io port just in time for a new cycle ( loop the process

Food for Thought. Takes about 3 seconds with a creative energy cell and multiple spatial storage cells

I think I'll just go for a hole to bedrock with iron spikes at the bottom. (I know the spikes aren't needed, but I want spikes)

You could place MFR grinder and void the drops. It always kills in 1 tick, but it has an idle ticking system

Energized Glowstone? Alternatively, if you don't like my troll answer, liquified pyrotheium. That ought to murder anything that isn't immune to fine right quick.

For the best of both worlds(trolling and deadly), go with Nether Plasma. Won't stay in your moat at all, but is twice as hot as lava and destroys blocks it can touch(if they are weak enough) and can smelt things(apparently). Also great for turning iron blocks into steel blocks.

Wouldn't work on players, sadly.

 

[Albin_Xavier]

I'm in singleplayer, so it doesn't need to work on players, but the grinders sound good.

Grammar Nazi's U-Boats are after you

Same with you. The correct plural of Nazi is... Nazi. Plus the usage of a comma and an "s" indicates something other the plural; it indicates possessive, which technically that is, but it is used incorrectly there regardless.
