New TV5 zombie grinder
Posted: Sun May 03, 2015 7:52 pm
There is now a zombie grinder near my house on TV5! To get there, head for my portal in the Nether, but turn right when you reach it, then go left down the narrow hallway surrounded by torches.
The grinder is similar to the skeleton one near spawn. There's an anvil, an Ender chest, and a full enchanting setup with some lapis for public use. I'll stock a few books for enchanting here and there as I'm able.
A lever near the zombie drop chute lets you pick two modes:
- Drops only - zombies fall and die instantly, sending their drops to the chest downstairs.
- XP - zombies are left with 1/2 heart, letting you kill them for XP. It will take three punches minimum to kill them because zombies are set by the game to have 1 heart (2 hits) of armor even when not wearing armor. There's no way to remove it save for attacking them directly as far as I know.
I recommend switching to drops-only mode when leaving the grinder as it prevents zombies from piling up accidentally.
Enjoy!
