So that's what that island is for.

If you're not planning on doing anything with it, can I take over the reins? I could use a break from my very slow castle building.

Be my guest, though be aware that the nether-side of the portal has not been rebuilt.

Yeah, it's linked to the stronghold portal. I'll build the grinder further out to sea.

You don't need to move it anywhere in the overworld, just rebuild the nether portal. That island should be far enough out already.

I have built a path to the grinder. There's a sign to signify where it is.

I have made no progress on the grinder itself.

I'm not sure what the best type would be. I've seen very compact grinders, but that requires a lot of redstone. I'd rather not use that, because of the server lag.

Currently, my plan is to build a stacked compact canal design. I'm planning on stacking it all the way to the maximum build height, for the highest yield. If you guys have a better design, I'd love to hear it. I'm pretty sure my design is flawed.

EDIT: Should I make it a mob item/EXP farm or just a mob item farm? There is a danger of creepers exploding if I make it an EXP farm.

Sigurd's Enderman farm already gets you more xp than you could possibly need. I think just make it an item farm; that's the original intent behind making it, and it should simplify the design somewhat.

Be aware that mobs will not spawn more than 128 blocks from you, in all directions. As such, it would be a waste of time to build the structure higher than 128 blocks from wherever the player will stand when using the system.

Ahhh. I was unsure if the 128 block limit applied vertically. Thanks for the heads up.

The way I'm making it, it is easily expandable. The first chamber is almost complete.
