- The Citadel | Moss Farm Retrofit
- Unfortunately the moss farm was left running, which upon logging off, breaks the stone generators. So, the first part of content this week was spent fixing the moss farm.
- It made for a decent video explainer on how the moss farm works.
- The spawn chunks on The Citadel still need to be adjusted so the iron farm, and the moss farm can run when no one is online.

- Still trying to make the moss farm collection build look cool, now that it is jutting out of the hillside. Not overly successful thus far.
- It’s still a work in progress, and additional landscaping is needed so it blends in better with the hillside.

SUBJECT: Bundle Related Mechanics
Hi Joel, and Jonny!
I was listening to Episode 313’s Bundle discussion, and I was wondering if the bundle mechanics could be applied to any other items, like the bow. If you could place a few stacks of arrows into a bow much like the bundle (Perhaps this could only be possible if you upgraded a bow to a “Bow and Quiver.”) this could make using tipped arrows or mending bows a more viable option by decreasing their inventory clutter.
Curious to hear your thoughts, and ideas for other ways the new bundle mechanics could be utilized.

SUBJECT: Incorporating Redstone Into A Build
Hi Joel, and Jonny,
One thing that really interests me about building in Minecraft is using redstone to make a build more interesting by adding hidden doors, puzzles, movement, and other aesthetic ways of using redstone. What are your tips when it comes to incorporating Redstone to add flavor, life, and more to a build?

SUBJECT: Mob Vote Improvements
Hello Joel, and Jonny
How would you improve on past mob vote mobs such as the sniffer, the allay, or the phantom?
The armadillo made me realize how much potential mob vote winners can have.

SUBJECT: Teleporting From Bedrock To Java
Hey Pix, and Joel!
I’m a long time listener (First listened to episode 100!) and wanted to know if you had any tips on switching from Bedrock Edition to Java Edition as I’ve been playing bedrock for four years, and wanted to switch to java because of certain game mechanics, and farms.
Are there any Modpacks, texture packs, or data packs you can recommend? Are there any important differences that I should be aware of?
Loving the weekly show, Keep it up!
