Early in September 2023 on Earth, Abishek announced simply “i build raid farm” 1. With RJ and Suresh helping, he gathered materials and carried villagers over to the site. He had found a village and pillager outpost by an ocean close to the first ancient city, and shared its waypoint with the rest of the group 2 3. (The planned site is also catalogued as Raid Farm Site.)
Reopening day
On 9 September prop and BotFragx tried the finished farm and nothing triggered. The chat’s diagnosis was a pile of problems: no raid captain, too many pillagers spawning underground, and a bot standing around the base. Abishek’s verdict was blunt:
kill the bot 4
The AFK bot was filling the mob cap, so prop removed it with a command. After some sleep and the fixing of a missing fire block, the farm worked 4. Prop had asked whether a raid should override the mob cap anyway, and nobody was sure.
The instructions
IRIS then wrote up how to operate it, and prop pinned the list. The gist: get Bad Omen (level 5 if possible), stand outside the killing chamber until the raid starts, climb onto the armour stand facing down, and hit the stand with the right sword every 1.5 seconds. Leave the farm to stop the raid. It works best with only one player nearby, since the mob cap is per chunk, and the vexes only show up if your clicking is too uneven 5.
For a farm that began as one line in chat, it ended with a pinned manual and a lesson about AFK bots and the mob cap.
