naron-benh — Wurstmineberg Wiki EditHistory

Naron Benh [naˌɹɔnˈbeŋ] was a base shared by @plyspomitox and @fenhl located near the Swampland Hub (hub ½/−½). @fenhl has since moved to Zucchiningen and @plyspomitox is no longer active. It contains a still functional double witch farm, which @fenhl is planning to convert into a poison II arrow farm.

Name

The name is Wanya meaning “second house” and refers to the project being @fenhl's second base on the server, succeeding one simply named Naron. Note that the word “naɹon” is misspelled as “naron”, and the word “benh”, a loanword from Naeso, is spelled using Naeso transliteration rules (it is spelled “bəŋ” in Wanya). This spelling was chosen due to Minecraft's poor Unicode handling at the time the base was named.

Location

The planned main building's shape is defined as the set of locations where a player can keep both witch farms fully active. A 128-meter horizontal perimeter around the main building is being dug out down to the old bedrock layer at y=5, with a potential future expansion to the current bedrock layer at y=59. @fenhl has written a script which calculates the exact boundaries of both parts.

Note that since the area was generated before Minecraft 1.8.1, the structure bounding box of each swamp hut is only 5 meters tall, not 7, and therefore the witch farms only have 2 layers of spawning platforms each.

Access

The witch farm's output is accessed via a portal on the Swampland Hub's east wall. The perimeter under construction can be found just outside the Naron Benh Perimeter Storage, which is accessed via a portal at the center of the Swampland Hub.

Usage

The witch farm can be run by standing in the output area, and the 7 products (redstone dust, glass bottles, glowstone dust, gunpowder, spider eyes, sugar, and sticks) taken from the chests there. There is currently no automatic overflow handling; an 8th chest serves as an overflow output which can be manually emptied.

The mechanisms to further process the witch drops into poison II arrows, as well as methods of obtaining the remaining ingredients, have not yet been built. The following components are planned:

• A skeleton grinder if available within range of both witch huts, or a standard mob farm otherwise, for the arrows
• A dragon's breath farm based on Seyager's design, located just south of the End exit portal, with manual cooked chicken and glass bottle inputs (this is already built but the inputs and output are not yet labelled)
  • Resistance and regeneration beacons to allow the farm to be used without armor (which also eliminates the requirement to add an XP farm to repair the armor)
  • An automatic cooked chicken farm in the End to replace the manual input
  • An automated railway line, perhaps integrated into CARBON in the future, to transport glass bottles from Naron Benh to the dragon's breath farm and dragon's breath back to Naron Benh
  • Documentation on how to swap between the dragon's breath farm and the gravity dupe — only one can be in operation at a time since the dragon's breath farm requires a living Ender dragon but the gravity dupe requires the exit portal to be active
• An afkable Nether wart farm similar to the one near Zucchiningen
• A blaze grinder at a nearby Nether fortress (the same one that hosts the Wither Skelly Farm), located at 121, 63, -360
  • An automated railway line, perhaps integrated into CARBON in the future, to transport blaze rods to Naron Benh
• Buffers for these ingredients with fill level indicators
• Fully automatic mechanisms to process the materials into poison II arrows:
  • A dispenser with a water source, to convert glass bottles into water bottles
  • Brewing stands to combine the water bottles with Nether warts, spider eyes, glowstone dust, gunpowder, and dragon's breath into lingering potions of poison II
  • A crafter to convert blaze rods into blaze powder, to power the brewing stands
  • A crafter to convert the lingering potions and arrows into the final product
• The poison II arrow output chest
• A mechanism to disable the witch farms' hopper clocks when all buffer and output chests downstream from them are full
