I built this wither taco in ps3 console edition. works great. and was way cheaper to build in survival than the walking beam style. with the small classic map size being all you've got on that platform, this just made sense. It actually looks odd on ps3 edition cause the animation for the activator is backwards but the function is the same. great build sno.

can we do it on top of the nether
-
Will this work in 1.11??
-
Snocrah, you are awesome. That farm is awesome too but I have a question, so does this farm work on console. 😊
-
So the only difference about this design is it's more resource friendly than the Wither Sandwich?
-
Yeah I tried the world download and it doesn't work right. Even if you spawn an enemy the cart hits them and stops instead of picking them up if it's on an incline. Even when it picks them up it doesn't seem to always kick them out in the right place, often tossing them the wrong way.It's too bad, I really liked this farm because it was one of the few things out there that really made good use of rails. Given the fact that horses are faster than mine carts for fast travel (especially with potions of speed) it's starting to seem like there is almost no real use for mine carts these days.
-
can anyone confirm this working in 1.9.2? cleared and half slabbed everything already
-
someone work on a burger
-
Must be real fun removing all the actual nether fortress while ghasts and blazes practice their aim on you.
-
The minecarts won't pick them up I'm in 1.9 any ideas?
-
Does this work for the latest snapshot of 1.9?
-
can you build it on top of nether?
-
I've been having problems with this farm. After time mobs begin to get trapped inside the taco, and that quickly slows the farm down, eventually to almost a complete halt. A mob will get picked up by a minecart, but if another mob spawns in front of that minecart before it reaches the activator rail, then that minecart holding the mob cannot push past and the mob cannot be ejected. That leaves that line of spawnable spots without a functioning minecart and mobs quickly build up. I'm going to have to pull this farm down and try another design.

Dataless822 had issues with his 1.8 gold farm when he attempted to run it in 1.9. I'm not sure if it was something to do with the ejection from the minecarts or what. Is it more to do with the location or the orientation?
-
looting swords cant give you more skulls :P
-
how do you get the dogs to the nether
-
Can this farm be built above bedrock?
-
i don't know why but in my SP testing in 1.8.8, the activator rail doesn't throw mobs away. It just puts them on the blocks next to the activator rail. I've tested it in overworld, and the activator is on the east side and the powered rail is on the west side. Any ideas?
-
This won't work in 1.9, mobs no longer spawn on rails
-
Why do you say the doubled up slab in the middle of the upper V will cause suffocation but don't mention the doubled up slabs at the tops of the V? Won't they do the same thing?
I'm quite keen to maximise the efficiency of this farm. So far I have only built the bottom row of Vs and the rest of the farm. It does work but my spawn rates are very low. I only got 8 skulls in about 18 hours. Building the inner V will obviously increase the rate but it's not going to get anywhere near the rates you saw. I presume this is mainly because mine is built in the real Nether with spawnable blocks all over the place whereas the only spawnable blocks in your test world were on your farm.
I have started slabbing the area but it's a big task. I probably won't slab the whole area within 128 blocks but I'd at least like to cut down the places other mobs can spawn. I suppose there is a limit to how many skulls I can use but I'd like to have lots of beacons.
