51k Spider Farm

A single-dimension spider farm using player looting. This build delivers impressive yields while keeping redstone complexity to a minimum, using it solely for an optional on/off switch.

Rates

• String: 50.5k/h
• Spider Eye: 37k/h Rates were taken above an ocean at y190 with 24 platforms.

How it works

• Features an adjustable number of platforms and produces more than max XP absorbable by the player in vanilla.
• Requires a diamond sword enchanted with Bane of Arthropods V and Sweeping Edge III.
• Uses fast Regeneration Beacon and Haste II Beacon for optimal player killing.

How to use

1. Stand in between the fence gates.
2. Turn on the lever.
3. Attack at a 9gt (0.45 second) interval.

Versions

• Designed for versions 1.19+.
• Compatible with versions 1.13+ with modifications (replace Mud with soul sand and resin block with any solid block for lower version compatibility).

Construction Notes

• Requires a significant amount of Mud.
• Golem placement can be slightly unintuitive, so refer to the video for guidance.
• Build golems from top-down before putting in all of the water.
• Rare golem repair is needed, requiring approximately 3 ingots every 10 hours.

Before you build

• Around 0.4% of spiders despawn, most from having lower than average tracking range and thus hanging around on the outside.
• Spiders can rarely get stuck (around 1 every 10 hour): leaving the farm by flying away will despawn them.
