How to Build a Guardian Farm in Minecraft Java 1.13+ - 31,000 items/hr!
Welcome to a tutorial video where I’m going to show you step by step how to build my design for a Guardian Farm and get unlimited Prismarine materials, which are only dropped by Guardians.
This Guardian Farm requires you to tear down and drain the Ocean Monument and yields around 15,000 items per hour. But near the end of the tutorial I'll show you how to exploit pack-spawning mechanics to get around 31,000 items per hour from this farm!

Thanks for visiting my channel! This Guardian Farm will output around 15,000 Prismarine Shards and Crystals and Raw Cod per hour. But at the end of the video I show you how to use pack-spawning mechanics to increase the output to over 31,000! What do you think of my Guardian Farm design? Is it easier to build than some others? Will you build this in your world?
Hallo! I‘ve only found you a short time ago with your staircase, walls and towers. They helped me a lot, so thank you for that! You said in that last video that the next one would be about building a castle. I am looking forward to that. Just wanted to give a quick thank you and thumbs up. Love your work!
@@nitka711 Thank you! Yes, working on that castle video now
Really great tutorial! It almost makes me want to build it... almost! Man, those are a lot of work! Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
If you are past like 1.16, use hoes for the sponges, as they harvest at an increased rate
Dude this farm looks so clean and it's pretty easy compared to other guardian farms. Cant wait to build in my world
So detailed and clear. Awesome tutorial!
Thanks Franky!
Coming back here to say thanks for the tutorial! Built this in my huge af modded ocean monument and it's working super well!
Awesome! I’m glad
YO that was big brain to reuse might as well all of the block you would get from breaking the ocean monument. :0 Ngl i was mauling over a long time what block combination to use to fit the theme and where to get it from. This vid rlly helps a lot. ❤❤❤
This is really cool! I haven’t ever built a guardian farm before but I’ve gotta try with this one now
Thanks, good luck!
Thanks! Great tutorial
That was amazing. Ive taken over one of these monuments but i kept the outside structure and turned it into my house lol. I used dirt blocks to clear out all the water out of the monument and i went in from underneath the monument. Theres another monument about 1000 blocks away and i might do this farm. Thank you for this.
Thanks! Let us know how it goes.
That's a great tutorial, easy to follow and nice to watch, thanks
Thank you!
I drained an ocean monument without an idea for what the farm would be. I was hunting for guardian farm tutorials and came across this one. pleasant to watch and easy to follow. the drops are insane.... and it's nice to look at! thank you thank you thank you for this tutorial. I now have an unlimited source of blocks in my world and it feels amazing. my new temp block is Prismarine 😄
Amazing! Exactly why I made this farm and tutorial. Thank you!
@@dudieboy this farm will pair nicely with the auto crafter
@@neilorose Yes, it will solve a lot of storage issues to craft the three types of Prismarine blocks and Sea Lanterns as the materials roll in!
This works perfect for my world thank you 👍
Awesome!
This tutorial deserves more views it’s one of the most efficient guardian farms out there and it looks epic
Thanks!
I just made this on the SMP I play on. They have Redstone limits per chunk and guardians don't drop anything unless killed by the player, so no camp fires for me and had to make the collection area 2x2. It still works though because water is pushing them from one corner to the collection corner. Thanks for this design.
Sounds like you adapted it perfectly, solving very well for these additional constraints on your server! It’d be fun to take a look!
Keep these videos coming!
Will do!
Just built it, works great.
fastest way to place sand is an observer, piston, and 3 redston, place the sand in front of the piston and just hold down right click. once the sand stops being pushed just relocated farther up.
You could build a simple redstone contraption to help drop the sand, there are several tutorials from other youtubers that show how. It saves a lot of time dropping the gravity blocks.
Amazing! Good work on this.
Thank you!
this was exactly what i was looking for ty!!!!!!
how many blocks above the campfires is your AFK platform as I altered the layout of the farm slightly
That's a pretty "monumental" amount of work you got there... Good video!
Thanks!
I thought I was going crazy but then I realized that prismarine slowly changes color between blue and green. never knew that until now
Cool, isn’t it?
Hey I built the farm like you showed and it worked great, however i tried to make it look better by expanding the white glass roof you made till the walls, it stopped working and just so i know would that have any effect on the guardian spawns? This issue is my fault not yours, as i said the farm works amazingly as you showed it.
I would not have expected that result either! Yes, try removing the white glass and see if it resumes production, lol
@@dudieboy I did and it went back to normal, tried researching a bit on guardian spawning but couldn't find anything that would explain it 🤷🏻
Great tutorial, just don't try it if you're using a mod that makes the underwater monument larger. Cataclysm (I think it's that one anyway) makes them about 6 times bigger and my stubbornness is making this.....not fun honestly. Also make sure the monument you're working on isn't half buried in the surrounding terrain. That just makes it even harder.
Thanks for the tip!
@@dudieboy Personally I think that's less a tip and more of an "gosh should have thought of that before hand" but you're welcome.
I got Better Ocean Monuments (within Better Minecraft Fabric) and my monuments are 8 chunks across. Just finished draining a circle 180 blocks across and part way through digging out the ocean floor because the monument goes down to at least Y17. Fun times :'D
@@EratoTiaTuatha Yikes and I thought I had it bad.
Hey i got a guestion! Why are they spawning so slowly? I built the way you did. Can you help or give some advice?
They’re not supposed to spawn slowly at all. To figure out what went wrong I’d need a link to a world download
I am going to build this in my Minecraft survival little server and ceedit you :3
Awesome,have fun!
Kinda sad that so much people kinda ignore this video :(
My last guardian farm video took several weeks to gain traction, I’m not worried
@@dudieboy That's the spirit!
because she require draining
Just a heads up the invisibility pots only works against the drowned. The guardians will still get you on bedrock
But not having to deal with both of them is still better!
Work on 1.20 or 1.20+ ?
I realized at the end I built it some what off center, assuming it won’t be as efficient but wud it still work for the purpose of just getting a decent amount of prismarine
Should be alright!
Finally, tutorial without nether portals
I considered it, I admit! But I hate going to the Nether for any reason, even to get my farm goods.
use a auto block pusher for tthe sand
🏆🏆🏆 awesome!
i built the outer tanks an extra block apart and only realized once i connected them to the center one.... this is going to take a while
Does it have to be with the same block shown in the video? I did the same thing but with another type of block and almost nothing is born, 2 are born every minute
The block doesn’t actually matter. Must be in Java edition, must be within the bounding box of the monument (where Guardies spawn).
Tip- Soul campfires kill mobs faster than normal campfires
How large is the base of this? The dimensions. I cant tell if its the same size as the monument or bigger
The outer walls are built right on the edge of the monument base.
When is the next castle tutorial video coming!
Soon
why guardians don't spawn on the soul sand?
Hey! I just did the farm and I have the following problems: 1. The farm produces less than 1/100 of the guardian products promised (less than 300/hr). 2. The guardians die of fall damage and not fire, so it does not bring anything to have the soulfire
This farm is for Java only. Did you build it on the Bedrock version?
nice!
Thanks!
is there a way to make this an xp farm? ive made it my my own world and m hoping to use for xp. mabye afk underground but how low could i go and will the gardians still spawn??? plz need a hand ive been stuck tryin to make it work
Guardians are the worst source of XP because they inflict Thorns type damage. But instead of dropping them, you could use soul sand in the 4x4 gap and raise a center column full of water to flush them up to the AFK spot and trap them under iron trapdoors to kill them.
Trident killers kill them with looting they drop more mats too. Or tp them to a group and use instant damage potions. Guardians are the highest source of xp but require a lot of prep. get xp and just gonna have to find a way to get the items and xp to the afk part and have your storage there instead
For some reason i needed to remove the redstone torches for the dropper system to work
Weird!
I don't get why i should make that white stained glass roof? Don't mobs will just spawn below it?
Pack spawning exploit, doubles the farm output as explained. Mobs won’t spawn under it, only Guardians spawn within the monument. 🙂
can build anything like this in bedrock all the farms don’t look pleasant and I want to both drain and build a farm wich I can’t do with most farms
I agree, Bedrock Guardian Farms look bad and seem like they operate worse. But no, this only works on Java 😔
Bedrock player (who is now playing Java for the first time) and the issue with BR is that the guardians have complicated dedicated spawn points. Once you know said spawn block, you have the basics of a farm. But getting those spawns are HORRID. I made Prowls guardian farm back in 1.19 I believe
I have a gaurdian farm where the middle is exactly all chunk borders. What should I do?
Not sure what you mean, the chunk borders do not intersect in the middle?
@@dudieboy Never mind I meant the F3+G Chunks. There was no middle chunk because the middle point was a chunk border and not such a chunk. I just build it on the border, still works well 10k drops an hour
Will the soul campfires kill the guardians faster?
Technically yes but Guardians are weak against fire which means the difference in kill time is negligible. Especially after the 30 block drop
Does this still work in 1.20? It's gorgeous
Yes it does!
Bedrock mobile?
Why would you put 1.11 in the title? Bubble Columns weren't introduced till 1.13?
Good point, thanks
Does it work on 1.20.4?
Java 1.20.4, yes.
They work in 1.20.4?
This farn? Yes.
Does it work in bedrock?
No. Bedrock guardians have a specific spawn location. Prowl and silentwhisperer are great channels for br!
Does this work in bedrock?
No
Why does this not work on Bedrock? Pls tell me
Guardian spawning is very different in Bedrock: minecraft.wiki/w/Guardian#Spawning
@@dudieboy ok thanks. I did not know it was that different
Use a hoe on the sponges
My goodness! Just tried it with an Efficiency IV Hoe and it was insta-mine! Wish I'd known. 😀 Thanks for the tip!
@@dudieboy every day is a school day in minecraft.. you're welcome.
@@dudieboy come check out my java smp community, you're welcome to stream from it
Bro 13:02 is the most confusing shit ever...
You cut the video and the little room looks entirely different, you never look up at all, like wth
Perhaps turn on the closed captions, that might help you understand the redstone
is there a way to switch this to an XP farm as well? @ dudieboy
Getting XP from Guardians requires lots of Potions of Harming which is very expensive, so I personally never use them as an XP source. But There’s great XP versions of this farm by @gnembon and @ianxofour
use a piston, repeater, redstone dot to the left and right of piston with redstone block behind repeater to make a sand piston dropper credit pixlriffs version :) kzhead.info/sun/Z8mhc9irZ3qdZqs/bejne.html
Does it work on bedrock?
Did u test if it works?
@@drago3345 no I have cleared out a temple but I'm not gonna build a farm until I know for definite it works
Java farms don't usually work on bedrock. If you want a working guardian farm for bedrock go to silentwisperer and find his newest guardian farm tutorial, I've been using that no problem
@@Bodza Did u test if it works?
@@Menma_Furikake no I'm not gonna build a farm until I know for definite it works
