Clocked Three-Floor Witch Hut Farm in Minecraft

Preserve the original floor coordinate and mark the saved hut spawn box before removing the hut. Rotate the complete model so its nine-block X span follows the hut long axis.

💡 Map the saved Java structure bounding box itself: the nine-block long horizontal span maps to X4-12, the seven-block short span to Z8-14, and its seven feet-height layers to Y36-42. The three spawning feet layers are Y36,39,42; their supporting floors are Y35,38,41. Use the original roof-and-porch footprint and verify the exact saved box with a structure-bounding-box overlay or a verified world-seed tool before removing the hut; terrain and old-world generation can make a guessed floor offset wrong. Rebuilding a hut elsewhere does not create this area. Remove the original witch safely and relocate the cat.

With the bounding box marked, kill or relocate the witch and the cat, then remove every hut block: roof stairs, walls, fences, cauldron, crafting table, floor planks and the four stilts. Leave the surface terrain in place.

💡 Mark the corners of the saved box with temporary blocks before breaking anything; the box stays even after the hut is gone. Collect the cauldron and crafting table if you want them, and light the cleared hole so no hostile mobs spawn while you work.

Dig straight down from the hut level to Y0 first. Leave (8,Y,15) empty from Y2 through Y33 and build the four neighboring stone shaft walls at every level.

💡 The last trench water is at Y34 and the impact hopper is below Y2: the dry fall exceeds 32 blocks. Never add a landing ledge, ladder, cobweb or fluid inside this shaft. Protect yourself while excavating.

At the bottom of the shaft, place the lower chest at (9,0,15), a downward hopper above it and an east-facing impact hopper at (8,1,15). Build the stone access platform.

💡 The chest is opened from the south; the hopper above it does not obstruct its lid. Keep the impact hopper enabled and all water away from it.

Lay the nine-wide lowered channel at Z15 and Y33, omitting X8. Place two open gates at (8,34,15) and (8,35,15).

💡 The upper gate remains open and dry. Channel banks at Z14 and Z16, and the X3/X13 ends, contain water. The middle gap must stay completely open to the shaft.

Fill X4-12, Z8-14 at Y35, Y38 and Y41. Leave the southern channel at Z15 open on every level.

💡 The floors are three blocks apart, leaving two blocks of clear spawning height. The later source separators remove four spawnable positions per floor: 59 remain on each dry level.

Build the opaque X3/X13 side walls and Z7/Z16 end walls through Y44, retaining the modeled dispenser openings.

💡 Keep the inside unlit when operating. The stone shaft and enclosed transverse trench prevent outside light from reaching the low spawning floor; do not replace the upper trench enclosure with glass.

At Y36,39,42, face dispensers south at X4,6,8,10,12 and Z7. Fill the intervening bank cells and put solid separators at X5,7,9,11 and Z8.

💡 Each bank has five independent source cells in front of its dispensers. Separating the sources prevents a retrieved source regenerating between two neighboring sources. Place the nine rear support blocks at Z6 for each dust bus.

Copy the three clockwise perimeter loops at X17-29, Z3-14. Set all 42 loop repeaters to four ticks; set each of the three isolated output repeaters to one tick.

💡 Loop planes are Y37,40,43. Top row points east, east edge south, bottom row west and west edge north; four corner dust blocks join the sides. Outputs point west at X16 and X10, Z3, then south at X4,Z4, feeding the Z6 dust bus. Place each stone button at (17,loopY,2). Do not press it yet. Repeater items are ready-crafted materials; 16.8 seconds is the full 42x0.4-second lap, not half that value.

Fit the opaque Y44 roof and bottom-slab cover. Build the glass service decks, west-facing ladder on the X32 spine, and enclosed Y115 AFK room.

💡 The ladder is at X31,Z18 from Y1 to Y114; the glass backing is at X32. Leave its top opening (31,114,18) clear. Step west onto the three service decks at feet Y37,40,43 to reach the buttons. The glass walkways are non-spawnable. The final room floor is Y114, feet Y115, with its slab roof at Y117. Crouch on the maintenance decks.

Load exactly one filled water bucket into each of the fifteen dispensers. Add the two permanent trench sources at (4,34,15) and (12,34,15).

💡 The trench streams stop at the central open gates. Confirm the impact hopper remains dry before starting the clocks. The model depicts this dry-floor state; the water inside loaded buckets is not a placed block.

Press each stone button once. Watch several complete cycles: the five dispensers on a floor must release together, retrieve together 16.8 seconds later, and leave a fully dry floor.

💡 The stone button sends a one-second pulse, wider than every four-tick repeater delay; it circulates around its long loop without becoming a constant signal. Output isolation prevents feedback from the banks. Do not press a running clock again. To reset, remove one corner dust, wait 20 seconds, replace it, empty any stray floor water, reload exactly one water bucket per dispenser and restart. If a source persists or any floor fails to clear, stop and repair it before unattended operation.
