Nether Mob Tower

It's old but gold. If it could help you out we've probably chucked it in here.

Nether Mob Tower

Post by luke2006 » 19 Dec 2011, 20:05

Hi!

Just to see if there's any interest; who would be happy to assist the the planning and construction of possibly one of the first ever nether mob towers? Zombie pigmen, dropping gold and experience, are extremely valuable kills.

If you want to get involved with planning ideas, spawn room layouts, donate cobblestone, donate netherack, show your support, help construction, etc, then please post here!

Thanks!

Update: 24/12/11
Ok, we have begun work on the tower! We have the location, and the frame is going up. Removing a massive pool of lava is proving problematic, and we keep getting attacked by ghasts. So, we really need help!! If you're available and want to help out, please say so! Thanks you matty and double for getting the tower started :)

I'm not sure if that would even work. I don't think anything effects pigman spawning, so it'd be just as effective to just run around and find them.

My plan was to build in the middle of a large lava ocean, to minimise the spawning area AROUND the tower. And then, the tower was going to be big to maximise floor space and thus, maximise spawning area. So my hope is that many mobs will spawn IN the tower, rather than outside the tower!

Not quite what I had in mind, but sure. There goes the title of first mob trap in the Nether. Next challenge: BEST mob tower in the nether ever! :P

I've seen one that essentially has small floating netherrack islands with pistons and pressure pads so when a mob touches a pressure pad its pushed of the platform and gets killed by gravity

Apparently we can get water into the nether with ice blocks, so we can just cheat and do that.

Small floating netherack islands is problematic in that the won't be very much floor space, surely?

Awesome, Matty!

I was gonna use cobblestone for the tower exterior (as it is resistant to the Ghast Blast), and then netherack for the actual spawning floors. And if it works, we'll make the lobby look nice with various other blocks :)

Fyi, lava flows about as far in the nether as water does in the overworld. This may be useful for you.

Lava doesn't push mobs for some strange reason.

Pig Men do not drop gold nuggets when killed by a fall any more... you will have to find another way to farm them (without water of course)
