Pig Farm (Gates Based, 6x4) - Phase 4 | Grindy Mid-Game

Viewing Instructions

Make sure you view this in the 3D view for a better understanding. Click "Open 3D Viewer", then click "Layer Mode" and you'll get a slider you can pull up and down to see the build in different layers.

Information

This pig farm uses a 6x4 central hole, which has proven to be the sweet spot for efficiency. With 16 spawners per layer (4 per wall), running 240 spawners for half an hour produced a 97.7% efficiency rate, equal to about 5.33 mobs per minute per spawner. Scaled up, that translates to roughly 166 million coins per hour at 864 spawners.

If you shrink the hole size any further than 6x4, efficiency starts to drop off noticeably, so this is the recommended minimum size for this layout.

You'll need around 1,340 fences or strings (21 stacks) to build this out fully. Given the farm's layout, placement is straightforward.

Instead of oak fence gates, this build uses string in their place, purely a personal preference from the designer. You're free to use open fence gates, signs, string, or whatever else works, the choice has zero effect on farm efficiency.

Note: Before the pig drop rate bug was fixed, this same setup only produced around 83 million coins/hour — the current 166 million/hour figure reflects post-fix performance.

Layer Layout (Top to Bottom)

• 1x nothing
• Repeating spawner + gate layers
• Start placing spawners here, 4 per wall
• Start placing opened gates here
• 3x nothing
• 1x lava
• 1x signs
• 16x nothing
• 1x "death floor" (ground level, farm base)

There's no full tutorial yet, but the layout above is simple enough to follow directly from the schematic.
