# Raid Farms Though Vanilla+ is currently running on 1.21.4, none of the changes made to Raid Farm mechanics in update 1.21 are active on Vanilla+.\ \ Raid farms are easily one of the most difficult farms to make in Minecraft. Additionally, because of the number of mobs that some raid farms are able to spawn, Vanilla+ has optimizations put in place to:\ \ A: Improve the performance of the individual mobs.\ B: Nerf the speed at which mobs can spawn.\ C: Remove some useless mobs entirely. Due to these optimizations, little to no YouTube designs work on Vanilla+.\ Thankfully, our wonderful community has designed a few working designs. {% hint style="info" %} * Vexes are disabled and do not spawn on Vanilla+. {% endhint %} {% embed url="" %} credits to Weltzkreig, Mera0 and MCSentence {% endembed %} ### Why is my Stacking Raid Farm not working? * Make sure to check **ALL** Redstone * Check the y levels and sub-coordinates for villagers, the bottom villager should be at the sub-chunk co-ordinates `9,8` * Change the hopper clock to have 6 items in it * Check the ticks on all redstone repeaters are correct * Check the spawning platform (nothing should be in the way vertically) * Make sure you're using a NON KB sword or fire aspect * Make sure your composters for the villagers are correct so one is higher than the other * Make sure there's no nitwit villagers (ones with green robes) * If you're getting the raid victory bar, ensure all villager pods are getting Redstone signals sent to them * Ensure you have not used blocks that cannot conduct Redstone in place of solid blocks. (Glass) * **Make sure to break all temporary blocks once you have finished building the farm** ### Common Questions Q: My villagers despawned, why?\ \ A: Your villagers did not despawn, they were likely hjit by lightning. Ensure there is a large roof over your villager pods or place a lightning rod away from the villagers to divert any lightning. Q: I accidentally built my farm at the wrong sub-chunk co-ordinates, how can I fix this?\ \ A: You can't, take down the farm and rebuild it correctly. Q: I need a storage system, where can I find one?\ \ A: [Raid Farm Auto-Crafter](/raid-farm-auto-crafter.md) *** If your issue is not listed here or you're having troubles with your farm and need assistance, join the Vanilla+ Community Hub Discord and make a Farm Support forum thread.\ --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
