I made this farm after discovering a trick where holding a thorn armor piece in your hand will give your the thorns effect. Using this I have the silverfish drop with low hp near the player. Then when they attack the player they will be killed by the thorns effect. To keep the players health up I have him eat some cooked chicken that comes from my chicken farm. This allows the player to regenerate health before more silverfish come. To make the player hungry I have them jumping and running in place. The farm is setup for normal mode but you can tweak it for hard mode as well.
What do you guys think of this farm? It is not as simple as some xp farms but it doesn't use dogs, beacons, or mending either.
Very interesting! Ugh, your making me want to update to 1.9 again! There's so many good things about 1.8 and 1.9, tough choice! Do you know if the resistance beacon trick works with other status effects and in 1.8?

According to this bug report 1.8 is also affected by the Thorns armor in hand bug (it should only take effect when worn), so you could probably take advantage of it:
Making this farm in 1.8 would be challenging, because the design in the video makes use of dual-wielding the armor and the food.
That's right. I don't need to build it anyway, I have an endermen farm for XP in my singleplayer world, and soon will have a blazing fast gold farm too. I just want to make a silverfish farm because I can.

1.9 is a lot of fun for creative, idk about smp.
I think it works for other low level effects in 1.8 too.

Awesome! I think I will build this in my Singleplayer world! This is perfect!
What am I supposed to put here again?

MC-73710 Items with Thorns held in your hand will cause Thorns damage.
TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?

It doesnt need food in 1.8 becuase regen beacons could keep you alive even with no food in that version
I think I just decided to make this in survival

It doesn't work in 1.8. I think 1.8 was added to that bug report because the first version it showed up in was unknown.
