Farming Wither Skeleton Skulls! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide (1.18 Tutorial Lets Play) [S2E87]
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 04. 2022
- The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 2 continues! Remember that Nether Fortress we turned into a big box of angry stuff?
This tutorial will show you how to make an easy Wither Skeleton Farm by using a Piglin to separate Wither Skeletons from other Nether Fortress mobs. We'll expand this farm in future to take full advantage of the nether fortress spawning area - but for now, we focus on splitting the Wither Skeletons and Zombie Piglins into two separate areas, allowing us to farm Wither Skeleton Skulls, coal, and bones.

To everyone suggesting wither roses: HE KNOWS. That would be a whole separate video and it would be silly to jump straight to the most technical method without showing this intermediate version first. Not everyone wants to deal with trapping a wither.
He did it before, but WAY late in the series
Wither roses are hard to get before you kill the wither.
@@ColinPaddock Are they even possible to get without killing the wither? I cant think of any alternative ways to get them
@@captainwatson1652 Nope, they only drop when a mob is killed by the Wither. Technically you don't have to kill the Wither to get the roses, but you can't get them without at least spawning it.
@@thegreatarcana Thats what I thought. I wondered if the wandering trader might trade em, but I didnt think they did, so I was confused. Like….the point of the farm was to get wither skeleton skulls to summon the Wither. So how did these people expect him to get the roses before he killed the wither if the point of the wither skeleton farm was to get skulls to summon it in the first place? Gotta think it through😂😂
It’s good to see a basic wither skeleton farm design that doesn’t include wither roses, even though I’m sure you’ll add them later.
Thank you so much for showing a wither skelly farm that doesn't include wither roses! As a newer player I often value simplicity over huge projects or super high efficiency, and I also love seeing alternatives to the "standard" method of doing things
i like the way that pix just didn't say go watch the previous whither skeleton farm video and just started explaining what he have done in that video hats off sir you're great
Thanks for considering my request pix! I was really waiting for this video to get released! Very useful guide!
Also,
1) you can add walls on the platform every 3 blocks to prevent magma cube spawns, and turtle eggs on the corners to lure the pigmen away to a kill chamber to maximise the spawning rates. This can also turn this farm into a small gold farm.
2) You can add dogs in minecarts near the kill chamber, because dogs can kill wither skeletons on their own will, thus this farm can be afk-able.
3) Another thing you can do is to use portals to channel the wither skeletons to an added afk spot with precise y-coordinate measures, to maximise the rates even further!
4) Also, tho not necessary but you can keep armorer and shepherd villagers near the farm to trade the excess coal and white dye (from bone meal crafted from bones) to get some extra emeralds.
I’ve never thought of turning bones into white dye for trading, great idea!
You are a gehnius mjy friend!
Couple of fixes/additions:
-for huge extra comfort I’d lower the chest by one block and make it a double chest, fill the new gap with a central hopper where the chest used to be and remove the 3-4 blocks above the center hopper to make eye contact possible with witherskeletons in the back to attract them, once they move closer into reach of you sword they’ll have, if player positioned himself right, lost visuals on the player again so they won’t be able to attack back. The benefit is double storage size and no running around to get withers in the back…farm should work with an auto clicker (auto strike) then
-ceiling trapdoors around the turtle egg will prevent wither skeketons from accidentally falling down the wrong chute
-iron golems on the outside can attract the slimes. If placed correctly and walled with slabs/trapdoors/daylight sensors, only slimes can make eye contact (during their jumps)and therefor aggro to them. Blazes are to small, so are wither wither-/skeketons. Non aggro blazes shouldn’t go high enough to establish eye contact with the golems
(haven’t tested this theory yet)
-a one block gap on ground level around the farm should let smallest magma cubes pass, where a bunch of toads could be waiting to deal with them. Ceiling spikes around the inside wall could potentially break the cubes down (if jumping against ceiling spikes apply damage, which idk)
Overall a great trap which I’ll copy with above ideas added, great work @pixl
I actually built the farm in a nether wastes biome in my speedrun world and I had to do a lot of spawnproofing but it was worth it as I got a couple of stone swords....helped me beat the dragon
Those netherrack blocks can spawn mobs if they inside the inner bounding box. Officially any spawnable block inside the inner box can spawn any fortress mobs. The outer layer only if it's made of netherbrick.
One of the most fun farms although need a lot of spawn proofing but it's satisfying for sure.
I recall Dataless822 used blaze AI mechanics to get them to pathfind to a hole where were killed, in the way that some double spawner blaze farms use the blazes tentdency to path find towards large solid blocks, so thats one way. Also you can put a pattern of buttons or walls across the spawning floor to prevent magma spawning, although this reduces the number of spawning spaces, but the lack of magma blocks and blazes will compensate for the loss. However, i suspect you;re likely to make a wither rose farm now you have a source of wither skeleton heads, and they will take care of all the problems!
I suppose the other thing you could have done to build your bait area was break the glass on top and drop sand down or gravel to make a temporary perimeter around where you were building.
The magma slimes need a 3 x 3 spawnable surface. Some strategic button placing will prevent them from spawning. However, if the goal is just wither skeletons, wither roses will allow them to spawn and nothing else.
Awesome video man!! Really surprised at the part where you used wooden buttons. It looks soo cool from afar!! Really excited to get this build done in my world. Thanks for the tutorial and keep up with the amazing work.
Again, you have made my day, man. Cheers to you
Thank you for this pix!! I'm working on my first wither skeleton farm, and in general trying some of the more challenging and dangerous farms in my current server (I've got an ender ender planned and just built my first blaze farm). My first attempt at trapping a wither ended... poorly, so having an intermediate farm that doesn't need wither roses is perfect for getting a few beacons. It's gonna be a minute before I'm willing to risk facing a wither in the end again.
hey pix! if you make the spawn platform out of nether wart blocks you can prevent zombie piglin and regular piglins from spawning.. used this concept along with moss carpets (non flamable and doesn't stick to slime blocks) to prevent magma cube spawns in my flying machine-based nether fortress farm that doesn't use wither roses.. i only get wither skeletons and blazes.. which is all you really want from a fortress farm. :D
Always a pleasure to watch these videos!
Hey Pix, love these Survival Guide videos. One suggestion: briefly show the finished build near the start of the video so we can visualize the final product while you're building. Keep up the great work!
Just finished making this in my survival world and it works pretty good! Thanks for the tutorial. Though only problem is that the only fortress I found close enough to my portal was situated in between 3 biomes so I have a lot of mob proofing to do to make it work really well.
Tip: place wither roses on the inside of your farm, only wither skeletons will be able to spawn.
It's expensive but worth it
Thank you for explaining basic spawning mechanics. I found that very interesting 🤔 so many videos on this subject are so OP, no good for a beginner 😂 (without a wither rose farm)Don't even want to think about that 😳
I love your videos !!
I learn something from each one
Thanks for making them 🏆
Great job man
Even I know Minecraft a lot now, i still watch this series because its entertaining, and I can learn new things by him.
this is the first farm design that i haven't heard say "find a soul sand valley fortress"
I guess everyone knows but you can get rid of the magma cubes just like you get rid off the spiders in a creeper farm: carpets or trap doors in the every three block pattern...
If you made your spawn platform out of half slabs and had extra solid blocks outside of your farm, the blaze would pathfind to the solid block
Hey Pix, not sure if it is the same in Java, but I am pretty sure at least in bedrock, skeletons cannot shoot through fences, and also other mobs cannot attack through them either, except for the iron golem which has a larger attack radius. Maybe worth a try to maximize the farm a little more.
Nice setup Pix. Cant wait for the next wither fight.
The "survival guide" is in grey because of wither skeletons :D
9:38 you were confused about the zombie piglin dying? If you look at the subtitles there is also a chicken nearby so I'm guessing the chicken walked into a one-block-tall area and started suffocating the piglin lol
Yeah, I figured that was the case! I mostly just worry whenever I hear zombie Piglins taking damage, in case I caused it somehow and they’re about to draw aggro from a bunch of others
It's hilarious how when I just start building a WS farm, you go ahead and upload this.
Thank you for Sharing Copper King, will try that setup out in my world ^^
Use an armor stand in the center point of the farm so that you can sweeping edge all the mobs. You should also add wither roses so that only wither skelletons will spawn.
Wither Roses will happen later, because we can, but honestly for a single player world this farm is probably enough. Unless you want a six beacon setup every 100 blocks
@@Pixlriffs hey, does this work on bedrock
@@NotSpilt sadly no. In bedrock, mobs spawn in specific spots in the farm. If you place glass panes at head height in the crossroads, you will see that the mobs spawn only on 2-3 preset locations. There is a completely seperate farm design to that.
@NotSplit If you want to build a farm in bedrock, I recommend watching SilentWisperer
So good, I had to watch it twice!
Wither roses make this farm to produce only wither skeletons. I know you know Pixx. Can't have it all in one day. Great video though. 🙏
Gotta have wither skulls to spawn a wither to get wither roses 😅
@@Pixlriffs In working order. I know you have a plan my friend. Keep it up. 😊
I had a thought when you mentioned maybe using an iron golem in the farm. I've never done this or seen anyone else try it, but would it be possible to set up an "iron golem healing station" with a dispenser and iron ingots? Similar to a sheep farm? This would go through a bit of iron each time the golem took damage, but with an iron farm that isn't a huge concern. I'm just not sure if it would work actually work or not.
I can't remember the details, but I saw a design that made use of the fact that Wither skeletons are taller than regular skeletons. While the former could see the golem, the latter could not, and left it unharmed. Of course, Magma cubes wouldn't see it either, so it doesn't really matter in this context.
Dispensers can't heal iron golems unfortunately.
the math is probably a major pain but I'd bet you could set up a passive villager iron golem farm where the only golem spawning space aggros the cubes and then a new golem spawns whenever the skeletons get the old one
@@LuulitaCD Are you referring to a wither skeleton farm design made by Ianxofour? That design perfectly describes what you've probably seen.
@@shizune_ Yeah, that seems to be the one. An involved affair with portals going back and forth. The main selling point being a reduced need to spawnproof the surroundings.
You will be upgrading this by adding the wither roses right?
Yes, later we'll make the wither-skeletons-only version using wither roses.
Would like to see an episode about draining a lava lake/ocean!
I like your design. I still don't know that I have the patience to button/slab that big an area ever again. Did it in one world and it overwhelmed me. But those beacons from my iron golem/deepslate method are very tempting in my new world.
I copied the seed from my first ever world, a year ago, and moved it from windows to java, because I don't quite understand the combat in bedrock. Anyway, I am in love with the 1.18 version of the world and since I defeated the dragon in quick time, it's on to those other things like withers and skull farms. Thanks for your detailed explanations. I know what I can do, now, and maybe it won't be as daunting.
Honestly, I got lucky with the location and size of this fortress. It only took a couple of hours to spawnproof the structure, and the warped forest biome does the rest.
If you don't want to spawnproof an entire area, you can try ianxofour's design which is quite simple, only downside of that design is that it requires some strategic portal placement to go up and down from the nether roof but other than that it was very quick to set up.
I had a question: What is the limit of the fortress bounding box vertically downwards? I learnt from Ianxofour that the highest block of a fortress determines the upper limit, but what about the lower?
Hi pix I really enjoy your survival series its super helpful
Wouldn't it be cool if devs put in a Easter egg where you name a piglin something, like Bartleby, and they become your "friend". They will protect you and not attack you if you aren't wearing gold. I would go on so many adventures with them in the nether
I really like every of your videos
Hey Pix, what about farming some wither roses (you can cheese a lot of them with snowmans and a wither under the bedrock portal in the end) and spawn proofing the farm with wither roses, so only wither skeletons can spawn?
He mentioned that the farm needs to be within the fortress structure because eventually will need to make the spawning platforms out of something different than neterrack.. which clearly means he'll making a wither rose based farm eventually. This was a first approach to showcase an early game concept and how to deal with the other fortress mobs.
That's one of the upgrades I intend to make in future, but for now this farm is very effective for much less effort
cool vid
I like this design
Thanks for the video! Does it work on vanilla server?
When pix tries to nametag a piglin with a bone
Can a redstone contraption be made to heal the golems with iron ingots? Not sure if a dispenser can be used on them or if an observer can tell if they are in need of healing or a clock would have to be used.
I enjoy your hard work, though I don't play much anymore I do look forward to your content. Thank you.
Observers do not detect entities and entity changes.
The zombie piglins could fall on a 5x5 of hoppers with powdered snow on top, and then it becomes a gold farm too
I considered it, but we'll do more with powdered snow later, and honestly it'll be better to just make a dedicated gold farm.
Awesome design
Hearing pix call something by its improper name feels so dirty in just the right way. Zombie Pigmen forever!
Try wither roses... You can control mob cap
you could use turtle eggs to lure the blaze and piglins out, but you havnt covered that yet i dont think
I used turtle eggs in this video. Blazes don't pathfind towards them, only zombies and their variants (including zombie piglins.)
It gives me so much anxiety how much you move around on a lava lake or on a one block wide path over a lava lake or on the edge of a giant drop into the lava lake. Like I know you have an elytra but still, it freaks me out 😅
Can u make a shulker farm as it is really useful and It provides me with better storage
good video
Awesome
Why does bartlebee sound so good with his accent lol btw I’m British to so I’m not poking fun at the accent
Can Wither Skeletons spawn on magma blocks? That would prevent the regular skeletons, at least.
When will you be covering the nether roof and its uses/advantages?
When it becomes useful to the series. Probably when we need to build a gold farm.
GENIUS!!!
9:40 there is a chicken clucking noise and a zombified piglin dying, could it be that it is a zombified piglin jockey and the chicken is suffocating the piglin
Powdered snow kills nether mobs easy peasy , I made my pod for zombie piglins with Powdered snow traps
Cool video
not only skulls, but also more bones and free coal
I used iron Golem as aggro target instead of piglin since getting one is a pain in the bum for me.
You can also use cactus instead of dripstone if the zombie piglins keep surviving.
Powdered snow will work too, and has the advantage of not destroying the drops! I think I'll revise that once I have a powdered snow farm. :)
How did I never know wither skeletons agro on piglins???
I never knew that either.
I thought wither skeletons only aggro on the player.
Edit: yep wrote piglins instead of the player
u can put wither roses and the only mob spawning will be the withers
so instead of raising the room height by one, could you have lowered the piglin spot by one? asking for a friend :)
Nope, unfortunately if the piglin sits any lower it's vulnerable to attack by the wither skeletons. They can even swing at the piglin as they're falling down the hole.
You'd have to move the floor down one block instead of the ceiling. Which, now that I think about it, might not be a bad alternative
Could somebody help me? I’ve built this, but the wither skeletons just get stuck at the top and don’t fall down the tube? They jus stand on the edge block staring at the pig man I’ve even taken the pig man out and stood in myself and still didn’t work
Genius. Easy
Question can you put some wither prose down some only wither skeletons would span
You can't place wither roses on nether bricks, so you'd have to make sure the farm was built in the right place for mobs to still spawn on netherrack or a dirt variant
@@Pixlriffs Thank you for tell 👍
Question for someone smarter than me - would spawn-proofing with lava be a good idea or amI missing something?
Mobs don't spawn on lava.
Mobs spawn on full blocks like oak planks.
oooh finanly haha
its a shame these release at 5AM my time
It released at 6 a.m. at the area I live.
after you have done all that cover the floor in wither roses and then only wither skellys will spawn
You can't cover the nether bricks in wither roses, because they can only be planted on netherrack or dirt variants.
You need to build the platform out of one of those blocks, which requires a better understanding of the nether fortress structure bounding boxes.
You also need a way to farm about 10 stacks of wither roses, which I haven't set up yet because I've only fought the wither once.
I have a Question does sugarcane need a Light?
Nope, it’s one of the only crops that don’t need light to grow, but I’d recommend adding light anyway because mobs can spawn on blocks that have sugarcane on them.
Yep like he said. Add light. Or a creeper will be hiding in them and that not fun to find out.
Hey Pix , is there any way you could see the bounding box of a nether fortress
Mods. There is no way to in true vanilla Minecraft, but most people just accept them as a quality of life feature just like things like optifine. And that's the joy of Minecraft isn't it? It's a sandbox game, where anything you want, you can probably get in the marketplace. And who cares what it does, because there is no "right" way to play a sandbox game.
@@davidcrane6914yea , are there any mods for it
Thanks for the reply
And your right , minecraft truly is a gud sandbox game , that's what makes it special
MiniHUD is the most popular mod for 1.18 which can show bounding boxes. I used to use a mod called Bounding Box Outline Reloaded, but that doesn't seem to have a version beyond 1.16.x
@@Pixlriffs thanks , pix!
Any suggestions for a creeper farm ? ( For server)
Honestly, if you can get some time alone on the server, skip it and make a ghast farm instead
@@Pixlriffs Thanks for the reply 💓
can you craft a bundle, and can it hold a loot of potions??
Bundles have not been added to the survival game yet. They’re available through commands, and you can add a recipe using datapacks, but I don’t plan to do either with this series.
Bundles obey the same rules about stacking items as your normal inventory does, so a bundle can only hold one potion, because potions are unstackable items.
I wouldn't even try to steer a boat across a 1 block wide bridge. My steering skills lack the finesse you have.
Use some dogs for the skeletons? Send them in the opposite direction of where the dogs are?
I considered it, but the skeletons are a minor concern, it would also affect the Wither Skeleton AI, and getting dogs to follow me all the way out here would be pretty tough. They teleport to you, but I'm used to flying through the Nether at this point 😅
Would be cool to see this with RTX
Coolio mr pixel
Why bother with the platform and spikes for the zombie piglins when there is a lava lake already underneath?
They probably won't pathfind to it.
havent you heard? its because zombie piglins are immume to fire damage, including lava, so he has to use dripstone to amplify the fall damage to insta kill them.
And since zombie Piglins are immune to fire damage, it’s actually worse to drop them in the lava, because they’ll be closer to the player standing at the wither skeleton killing platform, and the game won’t let them despawn. 😅
why don't you place wither rose making others not spawning
I don't have 10 stacks of wither roses lying around, I've only fought the Wither once. The whole reason I built this farm was so I have the option of spawning more withers lol
Wither skull/coal farm
Embrace the inner technoblade lol
The Best
You Forgot Wither Rose Pix!
I literally saw my first wither rose of the season in tomorrow's video, when the wither killed an iron golem.
I'm well aware of the wither rose mechanics, but that involves rebuilding this farm totally differently.
@@Pixlriffs Oh Yeah...Right Right!
*insest advice to make a wither rose powered farm*
*insert reply of pix not having wither rose farm*(chicken friendly)
Seems to be the general like, 40% of comments lol
The turtle egg won’t hatch right?
I think it needs low light level and night time to hatch, and nether really does not do day-night cycles.
@@rudrodeepchatterjee ok thanks
Also, turtle eggs only hatch on sand or red sand.
@@Pixlriffs Thanks
Next episode is probably beacon farming in the End.
Not farming, so much, but yeah we'll cover easy wither killing methods tomorrow
Do you really think yhey're going to mess with the fotresses bounding box? messing up all those wither farms? that would be..... the actual worst
Wither Roses?
Requires us to get more wither skeleton skulls so we can even summon a wither in the first place... hence this farm.
Would also require a deeper discussion of nether fortress structure bounding boxes, considering you can't place wither roses on nether bricks, so you have to make sure the spawning blocks are within the bounding box of the crossroads.
Basically it's a lot more work and this farm is a good balance of effort vs reward for a single player world.
hi
Mobs in boats and minecarts don't despawn
Really?
I though that mobs don't despawn if it's a tamed animal, has a block or has a name tag.
@@biryanilover7147 yes...I use boats or minecarts until I get a name tag...also if they pick up an item/or you give them an item (like armor or tools or blocks)they won't despawn...although not all mobs can receive an item in this way everything but horses magma cubes slimes and ender dragon can go in a boat and not despawn
👀.
Will you be streaming tommorow Pixlriffs. Missed not having Choppin' Tuesday
Can I join your discord server
I do not have a discord server.
