Hello everyone, I have recently built a creeper farm in my base, The rates are fairly poor, After a 8 hour afk session, I only got little over quarter of a double chest of gunpowder. I was expecting way more, As the farm was advertised as 1900+/hr
I followed this guide
Mobs seem to spawn, but every 15m or so, I'll get anywhere between 1-4 creepers, I noticed that a lot of them was spawning outside, On mountains and in the mineshaft below, SO i lit up the areas but the spawn rates are still not very good :/ The only difference is I didn't build my farm ontop of deep ocean biome, I might worldedit the spawner. To see if that also fixes it, As i read creepers/mobs can spawn up to 128 blocks away from the player! Also some of the creepers, spawn in the farm. When i'm a certain number of blocks away?
farm:
This is my single player survival world.
If anyone else has had this issue? Could you please shed some light on how you managed to fix this?
Update: I just copied the entire build and pasted it, In a luke warm ocean biome near my base And the spawn rate has doubled in the last 10m So i will keep my build there. I also have to afk roughly 120-128 blocks above the spawner/farm too
After moving to the ocean, And afking again overnight, I managed to get an entire double chest of GP. So the rates have efficiently improved by a lot, Looks like this was the issue....
