| My versions of Ethos buildings |
I really enjoyed making Ethoslab's main storage building (
Daily recaps), Cactus farm and Tree farm myself. It took a lot of time, but the results have been great. The mob spawner is by far the most productive I have ever made. I have chests full of arrows, feathers (who cares), bones, and gunpowder/TNT. I think it is partly due to the fact that I just run by and pick up the drops when I am there. I don't have to think about it, I don't have to go AFK and wait for it. When I am running around the building, if there is stuff in the drop, I pick it up. Done.

It took me a while to really figure out how nice the Tree farm really is. When I had limited bone meal, it wasn't that good. It seemed to take a lot of meal to get the trees to grow, but now that I have basically unlimited supply, the tree farm is nice. I also took the tree farm and did an ugly upgrade to it. I added and automatic sugar cane farm to it. So now when I hear the notes for sugar cane I run and get sugar cane and cactus. :) Both of those items are almost unlimited also. Thank you Ethos for the BUDS! (Block update Detection system)
So I was trying to decide what's next, and I always watch Ethoslab videos, like everyone else, and when he did the passive mob spawner system I downloaded his world 93 release. I could not believe how much wool, leather, and pork he had in his chests. I never built his Chocolate island passive mob system because I didn't like how it over took the storage building, but the new one... I had to give it a try.

| New Passive Mob Spawner |
My first attempt building the spawn system went well, but I didn't get very much loot. The mobs only spawned every once and a while. So I looked at the area I was at and started dumping water everywhere to get rid of any grass thinking that was the problem. Well, it helped a little, for only a little bit, but then it would stop. Then I remembered the most important piece I had forgot... The chunk update issues! ARGH!
So I went and watched the chunk video and went out exploring to try again. I found pretty good area that I was able to line up properly with the chunks and went to work AGAIN. I decided that looks didn't matter this time and I only built what I needed to get it working. Once I finished it I went to work clearing the area.

Let me say one thing for sure... THIS WORKS GREAT! I can't believe how much stuff I am getting. I have never had this much leather, wool, and pork before. I already thinking about the super wool building I am going to make. I have had my eyes on a very large pirate ship that has about 3000 pieces of wool in it. :)
I am going to continue to clean 144 blocks around my passive spawner until it looks just like the water world that Ethos and Docm77 have. Even though the start of the passive mob spawner project was frustrating and a failure, starting over, picking a better location, and trying again has been a great success. Now if I could only learn how to park a boat without destroying it... Hey, didn't someone post a video on a boat dock system.. hmmm
