"Here's a GIANT mob trap and item harvesting machine that TazRunner built on our server. It collects 2000 items per minute.
Unlike most giant mob traps, this one is fully exposed, well lit, and easy to look into and watch at work.
As you see in the video, the main alley that the mobs fall into is open to sunlight (the mobs don't have time to burn before falling into the water, and the water keeps them from burning in the sunlight).
The mobs actually spawn in the dark side alleys which go back 100+ blocks.
I just wish I had taken videos the night we activated the spawning alleys. Three of us ran around and started the water flowing in each alley, which also blacked out the alley as it washed away the torches, and then we had to get the heck out of the pitch black dark alley before a mob spawned, move to the next alley, rinse, repeat... it lagged the hell out of the server until all the water found it's paths.
Another nice feature, as you'll see in the video, is how all the collected items are delivered via a drop-chute. You just stand under the chute and let hundreds of items fall on you.
It's absolutely mesmerizing to watch this trap work. As you can see in the video the trap features an observation deck which puts 1 glass block between you and hundreds of creatures on a water conveyor of death as they run into the lava that kills them."

blankfistThis is why I don't play Minecraft anymore. I'm always going to be just meh at it. I do not have it in me to be supergeek, and build something like this. I built one of those mob traps (a much smaller one), and it never worked like I wanted it to. Plus it took me forever and a shitload of diamond picks to make.
Zyrxil"Giant" is inadequate by a few dozen orders of magnitude for this.
taranimatorI can't wait to see what happens after my kid sees this vid.
