#### Create

* I was blown away when I first saw this video! [This is Create](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR8W-f9YhYA)
* [Create Mod S2](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaURolsKD_VHKO5qJ47kc7EpxU0MvcFp1) playlist by [ZedaphPlays](https://www.youtube.com/c/ZedaphPlays)
* Create: Trains Made Simple! [Part 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-TsTy5VgkI) and [Part 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eBk98Q3RJU) by [Mischief of Mice](https://www.youtube.com/@MischiefofMice)
*   [TangoTek's Create Mod S2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfRqNr8v3-E\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8) series is lots of fun and very informative. Some of the things he does will not be server friendly, but if done in moderation should be fine - he does everything BIG!

    1\. [Let's CREATE!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfRqNr8v3-E\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8\&index=1\&pp=iAQB)

    2\. [Ultimate Steam Engine!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXgODZmSdwk\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8\&index=2)

    3\. [We Killed the Dragon with VEGETABLES!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaPZ3PwLBhQ\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8\&index=3)

    4\. [The Factory is UP!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYp4_-p6Y_0\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8\&index=4)

    5\. [Ultimate Cobble Generator and Smart Factory!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soqcMW8knTY\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8\&index=5) This factory can be messy. Be sure to seal the factory so cobble and water do not go everywhere! I hope to make a video to show changes I have made to improve upon this design. _If you make this factory, a 1 wide by 8 long generator is more than enough to more cobblestone than you can use._\
    6\. [The Mob Blender!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw3zJnF44Vg\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8\&index=6)

    7\. [Ultimate World Eater with 845 Drills!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo0wI6HQYQY\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8\&index=7) Be careful! 25 drills (5x5) max recommended size.

    8\. [The Trains are Delivering!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5Igo0IP8fw\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8\&index=8)

    9\. [Rotating Storage Room Modules!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8EIaagNm7I\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8\&index=9)

    10\. [Tier 2 of the Factory is ALIVE!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqY7IG69uaE\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8\&index=10)

    11\. [Blazin' with BDubs!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxSySD_-IoM\&list=PL8t707flkqpdNXkkGwmZQZnENSLf862p8\&index=11) Not needed on Potato, but fun to watch and learn!
* The following have wonderful YouTube videos featuring Create. Their videos are very informative and to the point and don't waste a lot of time. Their examples are easy to follow. I highly recommend.
* **IMPORTANT** Many of the videos are for older versions of Create, so be sure to only watch the videos showing the correct version! You want v0.5 or newer.

#### FTB Chunks

This is a [quick spotlight video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmWd6oUmubY\&t=2s) I made in 2021 for FTB Chunks using Minecraft 1.16.5. The GUI is basically the same for 1.19.x. The video shows you how to claim, un-claim, and force load chunks.

#### JEI - Just Enough Items

Just Enough Items (JEI) is a block, item, and recipe viewing mod. This is an older video but what he shows is still relevant: [JEI Showcase](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoEWoShvIcc)

#### Dripstone & Lava

[5 Must Have Minecraft Dripstone Machines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_4GoQsCxcM) In his video [wattles](https://www.youtube.com/@wattlesplays) demonstrates 5 dripstone vanilla farms. Probably the most important farm is generating lava!

#### Mob Farm

[Mob/XP Farm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5s8kkqB7-I\)) This is a very simple, expandable, and upgradable mob/xp farm. In skyblock, getting down to \[add link to tips/tricks] Y -64 can be a life threatening callenge. _Hopefully, I will be able to make a video showing the different stages this farm can be extend and upgrade to._

#### Iron Farm

It is possible to have a good iron farm up and going really fast! Here are a few links to a very easy and productive iron farms:&#x20;

* [Iron Farm Without a Zombie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M5TBB6NPCs)
* [Iron Farm on Day 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oYyJ6jfSPU) Might be slightly more challenging in skyblock.
* [Testing Iron Farms in Minecraft](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-dTFB8KETk) Which One You Should Build?

#### Village Breeder&#x20;

* In this video, ImpulseSV show you how to build a very simple design that you can make early game that requires no redstone and will produce almost 300 iron per hour and generate 2 baby villagers each Minecraft day infinitely. [Easy 2-in-1 Iron Farm and Infinite Villager Breeder](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6c_qSzL_us)

#### Sugarcane Farm"

Dusty Dude's [Flying Machine Sugarcane Farm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo6bcbPjyRA). This farm can really kick out a lot of sugarcane. I made one three chunks long and I had TONS of sugarcane! However, you may want to consider using the Create mod to make most of your farms - think gantry?

#### Cave Spider Farm

Even though this farm is for Cave Spiders, it works great for normal Spiders too! With this very easy to make [Cave Spider Farm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFXppgfjI_A) you will have all of the string and spider eyes you will ever need! This is also a great early game XP farm.&#x20;

_For normal spiders, raise the killing chamber by 1/2 block by using a slab for the top._&#x20;

#### Sculk and XP Farm

[Sculk and XP Farm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsistTTK1YQ) In this video [wattles](https://www.youtube.com/@wattlesplays) showcases how to build an easy sculk xp or sculk block farm for Minecraft 1.19+! This farm will produce experience for you to harvest whenever you'd like as well as sculk, shriekers, and sculk sensors.
