Well Its done.. Finally.. Months of work complete.

Feel free to use it as you will. You will find the tunnel beside the Iron Farm Inc. Portal (clearly marked by the witch loots.

ABSOLUTELY stay within the fence do not venture past in any way shape or form. (there is no need for you to be out there)

First and foremost it only works if your the only person on the server (otherwise you don't get spawns)

2 ways to kill the witches. As soon as they drop hit them with a Looting Sword (preferably) for a chance to get healing potions. Otherwise let a few build up and flip the suffocation switch on the back of the apparatus.

Empty the chest when your done there is no long term storage at the farm if you kill it you take it.

I hope you enjoy your Wicked Witch Wacking!

Very, very nice iron Grats on finally completing on your farm!

Congrats on building the witch farm, Iron! I will check it out some day. :3

Lol. XD

I found a stronghold with the coords of Z: 666 before.

Iron, how do the witches stay at low health? If they take any damage they will heal themselves, so is there a mode on the farm that just kills them with fall damage? Also why does it only work if you're the only one in the server? And why is it so important that we stay in the fences?

it only works if you are the only one on the server because there is a mob cap for the whole server, its not per person. so you want all of the mobs possible to spawn at the witch hut, not anywhere else. Also i am assuming you must stay in the fences because if you leave the fences, mobs can spawn outside of the witch farm perimeter and thus reducing spawn rates.

I just now realized why the witch farm is so large.

If you leave the fenced area you'll either be too close to the spawning pad, preventing witches from spawning, or too far a way so that they will either not spawn or despawn before dropping.

As far as health the witches do regen themselves so sometimes it takes a bit to suffocate them.

The witches do not stay at low health once they drop they will start to use instant health potions and if you hit them at that time you get a chance of getting that instant health potion so you want to kill as soon as possible when they drop. Danmc1 explained the only one on server issue and the fence.

I've found a few inconveniences:

They suffocate in the pen, maybe another method should be used.

Squids spawn and pushes the witches behind, make them slower to come. But probably there's nothing we can do about it.

Also, random mobs spawn, probably because it's not lighten well somewhere?

Also it probably be convenient to build a temporary storage for people to use. Up to you though.

Random mobs will always spawn on the witch platform. Typically I have a problem in my single player world with spiders. There will always be a random chance for skellies, creepers, and zombies to spawn (sometimes slimes too). This is because there shouldn't be anywhere else loaded for mobs to spawn--this is actually a really good sign for the farm.

As far as squid, those will always show up because of the water used to transport the witches.

And the suffocating?

guys light up the sand around the witch farm so you dont get random mob spawns

EDIT: i now have reread the post and i understand it now lol

The area around the farm are sand stone half slabs, and mobs can't spawn on half slabs.

they can if they are on the top half of the block, but if they are on the bottom half, then alright.

the half slabs i mean

If I'm correct, having a damage potion and while you throw it quickly switch to a looting sword, you have no durability loss but the looting effects still works.
