Raid Farms

How to setup a raid farm on Vanilla+

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.

  • Vexes are disabled and do not spawn on Vanilla+.

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
