Wither Killer/Nether Star Farm (4.5k/h) | Minecraft Java 1.17

Important reliability update: one small issue and one big potential issue in 1.18: https://youtu.be/LAF_ECxsgyY

Love it Keep up the good work

Thanks for this. I'm playing a Skyblock map where Withers drop ancient debris 50% of the time, but only if killed by the player. I modified your farm very slightly so it spawns 24 withers at a time, then I can just go in with a smite/sweeping edge sword to kill them all at once. This is exactly what I needed and it works perfectly.

Given this a good test in 1.18 and it works flawlessly . great job bud

Thanks for the design and the comments fixing it in 1.19, works perfectly in my testworld and will provide me with enough drops for ever

hello, in 1.19.3 dosen't work anymore. dispensers not shot skulls

oh damn this will be useful for skyblock since the only bedrock you get is the exit portal and gateways

Been looking for something like this for awhile

Oh wow that is an awesome looking farm for this! wondering if it may possibly work on paper servers, as i know i have had issues with withers on being hit popping above the the end portal, and kinda don't want to test by summoning multiple withers in survival :D

finally now i can make 10k beacons really fast

This is the fastest wither killer in Minecraft. Great for people who want to make 1000 beacons.

So I used a small non redstone version of this, and the wither shot skulls and they entered the overworked spawn and blew up, do u kniw how to stop that

The soul sand splitter is a binary counter

OK, so i actually had an issue with this in survival and proved to be rather entertaining. i had removed all the bedrock and carved a perfect 3x3x1 with the 1 bedrock block in the middle. However this might not be enough now as the wither kept ether being stuck and shooting at you or completely escaping altogether. (everything was fine until we tested in gamemode survival) We have found a fix and @Borkon it would be great to see if you are able to repeat the issue and confirm the fix as well. So to prevent this we placed 2 obsidian blocks above the middle bedrock , removed the bottom of the 2 and then hung a lantern from that obsidian. We'd seen this fix somewhere else and it seems to apply to this farm now. Maybe a change in 1.18. im not sure.

After 2 withers spawned, the Redstone breaks for some reason. Has this happened to you and how did you fix it? And another question, do we have to pre-lay the soul sand before starting the machine because when I don't do that, the soul sand pushes through and breaks the redstone.

just thought it needed to be pointed out that it doesn't work at all in 1.19. neither the fixed one, or the original

Please give me the name of the map, I want to build it

Maybe add a dispenser with eggs to get wither roses… the only thing that I could see being a problem would be the collection. Would it be fast enough.

Does the portal in the end have to be removed? Or you don't have it just for convenience of the video?

Love it if I managed to get it to work in my survival smp. My problem is in the world download it places the heads, in my test world (same modpack) they're not being placed and I can't figure out why. Could be an issue in my modpack via multimc but if I load the world download in it, it works. I lietmatica-ed it and built the schematic perfectly. I wish I could get it to work. 😭 edit we work in 18.1
