Ghast Farm - Nothing to Worry About?
Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2020 7:24 am
I was happily wandering around my base at spawn tossing some netherrack into a millstone to make a bunch of torches for lighting up a cave I discovered, when suddenly a sad cry echoed over the hills and BLAM! I took damage and the half finished storage building was on fire. After panic spamming a bunch of cobble everywhere and watching helplessly as half my stuff got burned, I knew what happened and it was nothing to worry about. I rushed out to look up only to see another fire charge headed my way...coming from nowhere! You see it was a gloomy night...and the ghast was invisible. You don't know terror until you have nothing to worry about floating around your spawn area that you can't see. After a prolonged battle of shooting at that piƱata while blind folded, I finally didn't have anything to worry about anymore as the sun rose revealing my victory...and the carnage of my storage building, hemp farm, and reed farm still smoldering.
I just built myself a nice little ghast farm using the properties of nothing to worry about (for the first time), which of course is nothing to worry about. As you can tell, now I'm a little worried. I need help figuring out what I did wrong. I have a few questions, the answers might be spoilery.
1. Is a solid one block layer above water a sufficient 'lid' to prevent squids becoming nothing to worry about?
2. Do squid spawn in flowing water or only source blocks? Do they need a certain water depth to spawn? (trying to figure out how to contain spawns inside my farm)
3. What's the range of nothing to worry about?
