In Minecraft, zombies drop feathers, and feathers are used for making arrows. Normally, you have to go out and kill zombies or chickens manually to get them. What this guy did was make a trap where zombies spawn and fall into flowing water. The water flows to a field of cacti, where the zombies get stuck and die (cacti hurt you to touch them). Some of the zombies drop feathers, which continue flowing with the water to an opening. In effect, the guy gets feathers delivered to him automatically, with no effort.
You can rig up similar contraptions for other resources, like a "bacon farm" which delivers pork (pork heals you).
- kd0amg 16y agoHow does he keep the feathers from getting pushed up against the cacti? I've been avoiding this problem with drowning-based traps. When I do use cacti, it's just to filter out spiders (which need a differently-shaped drowner).
- jcw 16y agoHe doesn't always get them, maybe that's why? Maybe if the zombie spawner and water block were in an inner room with a door. He could simply close the door, which would dry up the room, and collect any stuck feathers. There could even be a button that opens the door from a distance, for safety.
- kd0amg 16y agoProbably wouldn't help -- loot that hits cactus gets destroyed.
