I was watching some videos of different gold farm ideas and I figured we should build another one that will run less efficiently than our original farm.  I decided to try the over world giant portal version.  ~5000 obsidian later I got it built.

 

 

The random spawned pigmen walk off into water troughs that lead them to a crusher.  This one should handle the chicken pigmen just fine.  All the drops are funneled into the basic bulk storage and sorting system.

 

 

The player has to afk in the middle of this thing to keep the pigmen walking or they’ll get stuck on the edges of the portal until they despawn.

 

 

 

The rates aren’t quite as good as the original farm but it looks cool and we could always add more portals if we really wanted to.

jl2579 is traveling to the end of the world.  It will take 17 days with the new minecart speed.

Started laying out my mazes.  The first will be a traditional hedge maze.  I forgot to save as png again but didn’t feel like going back and doing another screenshot.

 

In preparation for the maze section I’m adding to the amusement park I was researching algorithms for generating random mazes.  I found this really cool site talking about them and showing examples.

I’ve moved back to the amusement park for now.  I laid out some areas for new rides but got distracted fixing and improving the haunted house.  The old dining table was ugly fence posts and wooden plates.  I upgraded to dark wood with seats, placemats and a table runner for some color.  I also added some cobwebs everywhere.

 

 

There was a lot of problems with my redstone so I fixed the clock, flip flops and added some slow track to slow the cart enough to see everything. It isn’t perfect but the game limits the control over cart speed. In the empty space by the fire hazard I added a library.

 

Lastly I switched out the flowers and gravel for some new ones and podzol. The graves now move and the descent to hell now has a fake path with knockback.

 

 

I still have some outside stuff to work on but the ride should be pretty much completed now.
