Minecraft – How to get rid of a lot of wisps

minecraft-feed-the-beastminecraft-java-edition

So I think I placed a quarry near a corrupt node, which meant it got chunk loaded. There are… a few wisps now…

enter image description here

Is there a way to get rid of them, or should I leave this forsaken place and take my quarries elsewhere?

Assuming you have Mystcraft available in your FTB pack, going elsewhere would likely be the easiest thing to do.

However to address the wisp issue I would suggest doing a little bit of Thaumcraft to get the goggles that let you see the node. The nodes are like any other spawner except they are not affected by light level. You can build a little cage around the buggers and then either ignore them or take care of them at your own pace... with a bucket of Lava.

EDIT: One thing to keep in mind is that cooping up a lot of entities into a single area can have very bad results on a server. The wisps never seem to get more than a dozen or so when kept near their nodes, but if you notice some lag in the area of a contained node then it is time for some lava.
