Would this work as a mob tower?

Building a 48 block high tower with 12 floors, with a 2x2 square in the middle. Mobs fall down the hole and die from fall damage.

...

Profit?

 

Yes, in fact that's how my mob trap works but on a much larger scale. Though you need a lava or drowning trap at the bottom to kill off the ones who survive. Also you need to have water flow(s) to the edge of the hole (8 blocks long so it dosen't spill over the edge) as mobs will not walk down anything more than 2 blocks deep without being coaxed with water flows.

  • Well I've sorted that one out.     Every time I put my architectural skills to use in Minecraft, I keep thinking how stained glass is not a thing yet. How is it not a thing?

  • Apologies for late reply but I am not very active on tipit and don't play runescape at all anymore.   I have had a few pretty big mod reviews! It kind of blew up and snowballed at some point, most con

Tested my mob trap out last night for an hour. Got something like... 9117 items or something in that hour o.o the trap goes from bedrock up to a few floors (floors are... 4 blocks high each?) above sea level. Considering the original trap is from bedrock to sky limit, and puts out 11.5k items/hr, I think mine works pretty damn good :P got something like 523 blocks of tnt now, gonna go mining for a bit soon.

So does that mean it needs to be under, or to the side of the hole?

Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.

I bought this game a few days ago, I am absolutely loving every minute of it! Found this massive dungeon with loads of Coal, Iron, Redstone and Diamond ore :D

 

Creepers are annoying the hell out of me. I've had some terrible luck with them recently. :(

 

Tomorrow I'll post a picture of my house ^_^

Oh yes, can't wait for Halloween update.

Got my hell portal up and running. Well, it will be when lighting it does something. Going for another trek to the unknown to locate some mines and shizz.

 

 

 

EDIT: Found an EPIC dungeon. Pics and stories soon.

A fun note: Ghast can spawn near Slip portals in the normal world, but very rarely. Make sure you keep your portal area small. Won't be fun as their attacks are the strength of creeper's explosion and they do it a lot.

Arg, just died and lost like 10 Iron Pickaxes >.<

 

Was mining the ground, then suddenly fell into a lava pool. Couldn't find my way out and lost most of my gear. Luckily, I had supplies back at base, but it'll be a long time until I can get back on track. Was looking for diamond so I could make diamond pickaxes and mine obsidian for the Hell Portal.

 

In other news, anyone have that link for the mob trap? I might as well build one of those.

This is the one that I built. Fair warning, though. It requires a lot of resources to build, and a lot of time to actually do it in. Of course, you can just make it less floors and get less items/hr if you wanted.

 

If you don't think you have the time and resources for that trap, this one might be better, although I admit I never really looked into it myself:

Puts out far less items/hr, but it also states it only takes 2-3 hours to build with diamond tools, in comparison to the one I actually built, which took... 2-3 days real time >_>

 

 

Can't wait for the hell update, honestly. Tomorrow is going to be a pain...

From my dungeon. Was awesome. Ran into two spawners which would have had me killed in an instant if I didn't play Peaceful. :thumbup:

If only they'd invented punching through the internet...

PROTIP: When going mining, take a stack of logs, and only one steel pickaxe and spade. When you go mining you will pick up stone, coal, iron as you go along. When your pickaxes run out, make a furnace and workbench, make a few tools, abandon the furnace and workbench and keep moving. You can "bring" 2048 tools with you.

Update is live eh? The site is unfortunately getting hammered so badly I can't get on.

I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal.

 

OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER.

*swears at cannot connect to minecraft.net*

 

Expected that it'd be near impossible to connect at this time, but still fracking annoying.

 

Gonna be waiting on my friend till later to actually explore hell (we're both going to explore it on our single player files, although I'm starting a new one and quickly getting everything together instead).

 

EDIT: I'm in, downloading now. Although slowly, due to dialup >_>

Playing. Hell is pretty damn awesome, though it will be better when I get some mining done. I opened my portal, had a look around, left through same portal and appeared on my beach, in a new portal, maybe 200 spaces from my actual portal, free portal?

Just a quick warning, when you first enter hell/the nexus/whatever you want to call it, move the hell away from your portal:

I moved away, thankfully. Then swore when this happened. You can see I'm in the process of redirecting the lava now, but still...
