I am planning on building an XP farm and I am wondering which route to choose.
I have the basic setup figured out, I am going to use gravity as main transportation. There will be a tunnel from where I am standing 30 blocks up. Above that the main spawning cubes will be.
To make this as simple as possible I want to just let them fall from above. 5 blocks above the ground I want to make a 4 high – 2 wide layer of water where mobs will fall in. I bet this will break their fall and they will reach the ground only with minor damage so there are easy to kill. To make the Enderman a little easier to kill I will have a crusher using sticky pistons on the 3the 3th block.
Main Question:
I am wondering if the Enderman will TP away when they reach the 4 high area of water, my main guess is that they will.
Else I would have to break the fall each 4 blocks or so. A lot more works as I would have to work with open trap doors and pistons.
Mobs spawn in this gigantic tower...
...and hit these fences. The water then funnels the items into the middle (which then connects to another stream flowing the lava you can see, to kill any mobs that fell through the middle).
Best Answer
Water will not work, sorry.. they will either die or tp away depending on existing damage. but what is stopping you from going with the vine method? I know it can get a little tedious making all those circles, but it is totally worth it. Also gotta have sticky pistons..
It's a little lengthy but it's amazing.
You can get to 50 in about 5-10 minutes.
Basically, sticky pistons with a block on the end and pressure plates will push enderman off platforms down a circular ring that is bridged with 4 spaced "rings" that have vines on them. The vines, in turn reset the fall speed until they fall down into the next level
