The Raid Farm

The raid farm was prop’s answer to the question “where do all the totems come from?” He found a pillager outpost on a double island far out in the ocean, and kira offered to help (“raid farm I shall help”) ¹. Building it was not peaceful: prop spawned about eight iron golems on the island just to keep himself alive between patrols ².

He called it done on 21 September 2021 and posted “Raid Farm Complete!!!” the next day, once the sorter was finished ³. It was a single-raid box farm with a soulsand elevator, a fence-gate exit and a trapdoor safe spot, and it paid out fast: “13 - 22 levels in basically 15 seconds” ⁴. Anything the sorter could not file away was thrown into lava ⁵, and a chest of totems and milk waited by the portal. Visitors had to sit through every wave before flicking the lever, then leave by the marked exit.

It ran one raid at a time on purpose. prop said as much ⁶, and the chat records that kira would not allow stacked designs because the server could not take the lag ⁷. Within weeks it was funding glass from villagers ⁸, dropping witch loot for redstone ⁹, and abi reported making 600 emeralds in fifteen minutes ¹⁰.

On 21 November 2021 prop unveiled “the new and improved raid farm” with a strength, resistance and regeneration beacon ¹¹, and a rebuild of the farm to a 3300-emeralds-per-hour design was announced done the same day ¹². The chat leaves it unclear how these two reports fit together, but the old farm was demolished.
