For my mob farm I need to push mobs. Something like the OpenBlocks fan would be awesome.

commented

It would be awesome to add all the OpenBlocks features in general. ^^

commented

was thinking of 2 variants. stand fan and a hand fan.

  • Hand fans use a battery to run
  • Hand fans have a smaller range of 4 blocks while stand fans has a rand of 7 blocks. (feel free to edit the blocks)
  • stand fans can be placed while hand fans cannot be.
  • stand fans are crafted using a hand fan

(hand fan needs a recipe... any ideas?)

But do them the AA way. For instance.... instead of a fan.... provide an upgrade to the leaf blower?

commented

Or instead how about making it a gravity well that pulls mobs from a 16 block radius into a 2 block radius around the well (so a 5x5) sort of like the eye of a storm is calm?

commented

Sounds kinda like an Advanced Magnet on a powered display stand

Either way, my reasons behind it.

  • Most mob farms on our servers include something along the outside pushing mobs into the middle. So why not just have a "Advanced Magnet" ( I like gravity well better though ) to pull the mobs in?
  • With one block using to move the mobs instead of many it should be less strain on the server.
  • As for implementation, just set mobs inside the radius of the AM/GW to only want to wander towards the advanced magnet, and set them to wander constantly. This will also stop the issue of fighting entity tracking?

That would be pretty neat. Iโ€™m a big fan of this idea.

I've decided to stop taking suggestions on this issue tracker. As I don't work on Actually Additions myself anymore and Shadows only maintains the mod, I don't see why they would stick around here cluttering it even though they'll probably never see the light of day.
