Nether Fortress grinder
Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2018 9:19 pm
Howdy all -
Wanted to let folks know that I've built an automated grinder in a Nether Fortress out near my place. If you ride/follow the rail to my place, follow the tunnel that leads from the end of the rail line. I've done my best to sign everything, so follow the signs, When you reach the fortress, head down the stairs (follow signs) to the AFK/collection spot.
To operate:
1) Flip the indicated lever to the down position to turn on.
2) If you're going to AFK, do so in the small marked cell (to avoid potential mob wanderers)
3) The grinder will kill everything but Wither Skeletons and small magma cubes. Those will be trapped and easily killed through the slot for XP/loot. All loot will go to the chest.
4) When you leave or log off, please turn off the grinder and wait for around 30 seconds to let it reset! This is important.
5) Please do not go in to the maintenance areas, indicated by signs. Even a block placed incorrectly can break the entire thing and require reconstructing significant portions of it.
It's not a super fast grinder or anything, but it's safe and effective. I've collected around two dozen wither skulls in the last day or so without using a looting sword.
