You can also have different designs, or “modules” which result in different rates. The version must also be mentioned.

Important Information

• Rates (1.16.0):
  • 10,000 Golden Nugget per hour
  • 100,000 XP per hour

Adding XP gained from the farm is favorable, but not required

Important Information

• Rates (1.16.0):
  • 10,000 Golden Nugget per hour
  • Level 30 in 5 minutes

Writing the XP gained from a farm in "Level [x] after [y] time”” is acceptable, but not preferred

Important Information

• Rates:
  • 10,000 Gunpowder per hour
  • Note: Rates may have changed in newer versions

Rates may change in newer versions in the game.
The newer rates are always stated on the website, but not always in the Discord

The reason of the change must be mentioned. Example:
Note: 1.17.40 increased the mobcap, increasing the rates of this farm

The website is not finished so this may change

Important Information

• Rates:
  • 14,500 items per hour (?% Dirt, ?% Arrow, ?% Bone, ?% Spider Eye, ?% TNT)
  • Note: Missing specific rates

If no specific items are mentioned, the possible obtained items must be noted down with a question mark and a percentage, to account to the percentage that specific item is, from the total rates.
Example: (?% Dirt = Unknown percentage of Dirt of the total amount of items)

Important Information

• Rates:
  • ? items per hour (?% Dirt, ?% Arrow, ?% Bone, ?% Spider Eye, ?% TNT)
  • Note: Missing rates

If no rates are mentioned, the possible obtained items must at least be mentioned and handled in the same way as the above method

Important Information

• Rates:
  • ? Dirt per hour
  • Note: Missing rates

If the farm produces only 1 or 2 items types, then there doesn't have to be a percentage for the drops.
If there are 3 or more item types, the above method is preferred (with the percentages for drops)

Important Information

• Rates:
  • 1,000,000 Dirt per hour
  • Note: Questionable rates
    

The rates provided may be questionable, e.g. the farm has not been tested long enough, or there is evidence the rates are incorrect

List of wrong examples, to improve the understanding of the good examples. Every wrong example also explains how to 'fix it'.

Don't choose one of these examples:

Important Information

• Rates (1.16.0):
  • 64 stacks Gunpowder per hour

Rates should be written in total items and not in “stacks”.

Fix:
Rates(1.16.0):
- 4096 Gunpowder per hour

Important Information

• Rates (1.16.0):
  • 330 Slime Balls per hour

Item names should written as singular items. Note: It is not correct in an English sentence, but in this archive it is correct (and avoids inconsistencies in cases where the plural form is acceptable).

Fix:
Rates(1.16.0):
- 330 Slime Ball per hour 

Important Information

• Rates (1.16.0):
  • 80 Iron Ingot per minute

Rates should be written “per hour”, NOT in minutes, seconds, etc.

Fix:
Rates(1.16.0)
- 4800 Iron Ingot per hour

Important Information

• Rates (1.16.0):
  • 12 Golden Nugget p/h
  • 220 Rotten Flesh per h

Rates should be written “per hour”, NOT p/h or per h. 

Fix:
Rates (1.16.0):
- 12 Golden Nugget per hour
- 220 Rotten Flesh per hour

Important Information

• Rates (1.16.0):
  • 12,434 drops per hour (?% Iron Ingot, ?% Poppy, ?% String)

Rates should be written in terms of “items” and not in “drops”. 

The nerds might have noticed there is no “Note: Missing specific rates” in the message which should be included as well 🤓

Fix:
Rates (1.16.0):
- 12,434 items per hour (?% Iron Ingot, ?% Poppy, ?% String)
- Note: Missing specific rates

• Examples (TNT usage)

  Choose one of the following methods:

  ---

  Important information

  • TNT usage:
    • 213 TNT used per kill

  <aside> 💡 Dragon Killers use TNT to accelerate a projectile to kill the Dragon. This does not have to be mentioned if another kill method is used

• Examples (Hit speed)

  Choose one of the following methods:

  ---

  Important information

  • Hit speed:
    • 4 gt per hit

  <aside> 💡

  Gt stands for “gametick” and is a way to measure how fast a trident killer can hit a mob. A mob can only be hit every 10 gameticks, but having a trident killer faster than that results in faster kill speed Kill speed doesn’t mean much, as usually cost to build and ease to use is accounted for deciding which TK to build

  </aside>

  ---

  Important information

  • Hit speed (Design 1):
    • 8 gt per hit
  • Hit speed (Design 2):

  </aside>

Choose one of the following methods:

Important Information

• Kill speed (Hard difficulty)
  • 1 Wither every 5 minutes

There has to be a mention of the difficulty, as the Wither’s health changes based on difficulty:
- Hard = 300 hearts (600 hits)
- Normal = 225 hearts (450 hits)
- Easy = 150 hearts (300 hits)

Default is hard difficulty. For a standard suffocation design, the wither has 300 hearts:
300 hearts → 600 hits required to kill → 1 hit every 10 gt or 0.5 seconds → 300 seconds minimal → 5 minutes

This changes the speed for difficulty:
- Hard = 300 hearts = 600 hits = 300 seconds = 5 minutes
- Normal = 225 hearts = 450 hits = 
- Easy = 150 hearts (300 hits)

Important information

• Kill speed (Easy difficulty)
  • 1 Wither every 10 seconds

Important information

• Kill speed (Hard difficulty)
  • 1 Wither every 5 minutes

Important information

</aside>

Important information

• Kill speed (Design 1, Normal difficulty):
  • 214 TNT used
• Kill speed (Design 2, Normal difficulty):
  • 200 TNT used

<aside> 💡 If multiple designs are submitted, then it will be mentioned between brackets

</aside>

<aside> 💡

Kill speed refers to how many withers can be spawned within a certain time frame and die (for example spawning every 10 gt) A wither cannot die within 10 gameticks, but a wither can be spawned every 10 gt if placed by a player (the soul sand is placed and the heads can be dispensed) and then killed Though, there can only be a max amount of withers inside the wither killer at once (which limits the kill speed) Gt stands for gameticks, but other time units may be possible to use (seconds/minutes)

</aside>

Choose one of the following methods:

Important Information

• Size:
  • 12x12x12 = 1728 blocks

The size must mention how many blocks it is (by multiplying the numbers with each other)

Important Information

Choose one of the following methods:

Important Information

• Item Filtering:
  • 64 stackable in the top waterstream
  • Nonstackable in the bottom waterstream

In this case 64 stackable items are separated from nonstackable items.
A picture here could help

Mention the place where the items are coming out of after going through the filter

Important Information

• Item Filtering:
  • 64 stackable in the left waterstream
  • 16 and 1 stackable in the right hopperstream
    

Instead of top/bottom and waterstream, left, right and hopperstream can be used

Important Information

• Item Filtering:
  • Nonstackable filtered based on property, end up in their own chest

In the case of nonstackables, they can be sorted based on the interaction with other blocks/entities, however not every non-stackable can be sorted

E.g. A Shulker Box cannot enter another Shulker Box, so you can sort Shulker Boxes based on that

Important Information

• Item Filtering:
  • All items in the top stream
  • All XP in the bottom stream
    

XP can also be filtered from the items XP can for example float on top of flowing water while items sink

Important Information

• Item Filtering:
  • 64 in the left waterstream
  • 16 stackable in the right waterstream
  • Nonstackable in the bottom waterstream
    

A contraption can filter out multiple item types at once

Important Information

• Item Filtering (Design 1):
  • 64 in the right waterstream
  • Nonstackable in the left waterstream
• Item Filtering (Design 2):
  • 64 in the right waterstream
  • Nonstackable in the left waterstream

If multiple designs are submitted, then it will be mentioned between brackets

Even though design 1 and 2 are structured the same, they might have some difference in size, blocks used or (hopper) speed

Choose one of the following methods:

Important information

• Item Storage:
  • {Greek Numeral Prefix} hall
  • [Chest/Barrel/Shulker Box] 

Item halls use the Greek Cardinal Numeral Prefix system hall. The number explains how many storage blocks there are per slice. See below the most common used terms:
- Tetra (4) hall
- Hexa (6) hall
- Octo (8) hall
- Deca (10) hall
- Dodeca (12) hall
- Decatettara (14) hall
- Decahex (16) hall

Item storages can store items in different containers (= Type of block that can store items, such as Chest, Barrel, Shulker Box, Furnace, Dropper/Dispenser, etc.). Possible values:
- Chest (Double chest actually, for single chests, use Barrel)
- Barrel
- Shulker Box

Example:

Important Information

• Item Storage:
  • Hexa (6) hall
  • Barrel

Important Information

• Item Storage:
  • Hybrid Tetra (4) hall
  • Chest

A Hybrid item hall stores items first as items in chests. Once the chests are full, the items are being placed in Shulker Boxes (allowing for more storage in a smaller space)

Important Information

• Item Storage:
  • Item Caller
  • Chest

Item Callers are storage systems that can request an item from a far away storage to a central point

More information is needed here

Important Information

• Item Storage:
  • Bulk Storage (8)
  • [Self-organizing/Digsort/Hall] 
    
  • [Chest/Barrel/Shulker Box] 
    

Since Bulk Storages can be made real big (and not all containers are always accessible), the number of containers is not mentioned in the Greek Numerical Prefix, but rather just a number

There are different types of bulk storages. Possible values:
- Self-organizing (Bulk storage that can organise itself (using binary code))
- Digsort (Bulk storage for digging sites)
- Hall (Bulk storage hall)

Item storages can store items in different containers (= Type of block that can store items, such as Chest, Barrel, Shulker Box, Furnace, Dropper/Dispenser, etc.). Possible values:
- Chest (Double chest actually, for single chests, use Barrel)
- Barrel
- Shulker Box

Example:

Important Information

• Item Storage:
  • Bulk Storage (8)
  • Hall
  • Chest

A picture here could better explain than this text 

Important Information

• Item Storage:
  • Silo Storage
  • Chest

A storage silo is a type of storage that is similar to bulk storage, but instead there are indicator lights showing whether a chest is completely full with items, making it in one quick view easier to see if you are low on items
A picture here could better explain than this text 

These type of creations require to have expandability and tileability added as extra other information

Important information

• Item storage (Design 1):
  • Bulk storage (6)
  • Hall
• Item storage (Design 2):
  • Bulk storage (8)
  • Hall 

If multiple designs are submitted, then it will be mentioned between brackets

Choose one of the following methods:

Important Information

• Door Speed
  • Open = 0,7 s
  • Close = 0,3 s

Door speed is measured in seconds. The door speed can be measured by recording the door opening/closing. It is possible to calculate how long (redstone) components take to update to calculate the speed from that. (1gt = 0,05 s, 2gt = 0,10 s. 2gt is equal to 1 redstone tick (the time it takes to update a repeater))

Recording the door speed using a video is not reliable as visuals in Minecraft don't always match what actually happens

Important Information

• Door Speed
  • Open = ? s
  • Close = 0,3 s
  • Note: Missing opening time

If the opening time is missing, use this note

Important information

• Door Speed
  • Open = 1,2 s
  • Close = ? s
  • Note: Missing closing time

If the closing time is missing, use this note

Important information

• Door Speed
  • Open = ? s
  • Close = ? s
  • Note: Missing door speed

If both opening and closing time is missing, use this note.
This note is probably not used, because this is simply useless information for a door that is being tracked for 'fastest'

Choose one of the following methods:

Important Information

• Bonemeal Usage
  • 2,400 Bonemeal used per hour

For farms that use bonemeal to grow crops or saplings, the bonemeal usage must be used

Just like rates, the amount of Bonemeal is given in total number and per hour

Important Information

• Bonemeal Usage (Design 1):
  • 2,400 Bonemeal used per hour
• Bonemeal Usage (Design 2):
  • 2,000 Bonemeal used per hour

You can also have different designs, or “modules” which result in different rates.

Important Information

• Bonemeal Usage
  • ? Bonemeal used per hour
  • Note: Missing Bonemeal usage

If Bonemeal usage is unknown, use this note

Choose one of the following methods:

Important Information

• Bonemeal Profit (1.16.0):
  • 2,400 Bonemeal used per hour
  • 3,000 Bonemeal produced per hour
  • = 600 Bonemeal profit per hour

After “Rates” the version that the farm is tested in must be mentioned
If the version is not provided, the first possible version this farm works in must be specified as version

Just like rates, the amount of Bonemeal is given in total number and per hour

Bonemeal profit can be calculated by:
Bonemeal used - Bonemeal produced = Profit

Important Information

• Bonemeal Profit (1.16.0,):
  • 2,400 Bonemeal used per hour
  • 3,000 Bonemeal produced per hour
  • = 600 Bonemeal profit per hour
• Bonemeal profit (1.17.0,):
  • 3,000 Bonemeal used per hour
  • 5,000 Bonemeal produced per hour
  • = 2000 Bonemeal profit per hour

In this case, rates are provided from multiple versions

Important Information

• Bonemeal Profit (Design 1, 1.16.0,):
  • 2,400 Bonemeal used per hour
  • 3,000 Bonemeal produced per hour
  • = 600 Bonemeal profit per hour
• Bonemeal profit (Design 2,1.19.0,):
  • 10,000 Bonemeal used per hour
  • 12,000 Bonemeal produced per hour
  • = 2000 Bonemeal profit per hour

You can also have different designs, or “modules” which result in different rates. The version must also be mentioned.

Important Information

• Bonemeal Profit (1.16.0):
  • 0 Bonemeal used per hour
  • 1,000 Bonemeal produced per hour
  • = 1,000 Bonemeal profit per hour

For farms that don’t use Bonemeal (e.g. fish farms), this number must still be used

Important Information

• Bonemeal Profit (1.16.0):
  • ? Bonemeal used per hour
  • 1000 Bonemeal produced per hour
    
  • = ? Bonemeal profit per hour
  • Note: Missing bonemeal usage

If Bonemeal usage is unknown, use this note

Important Information

• Bonemeal Profit (1.16.0):
  • ? Bonemeal used per hour
  • ? Bonemeal produced per hour
    
  • = ? Bonemeal profit per hour
  • Note: Missing bonemeal usage and production
