Minecraft Elegance: Next Generation Copper Farm (Java )

A zombie reinforcements copper farm that can be built in about 90 seconds and can give you thousands of copper ingots per hour. Maximum rates will depend on the performance of your specific PC or server, but several thousand ingots per hour would not be unexpected. IMPORTANT Your game basically needs to manage two things when the farm is running: 1) Summoning productive zombies that will eventually convert to drowneds to make copper, and 2) Killing excess zombies to throttle the farm so that it doesn’t ruin the game. To maximize the rates for the farm, you want to *minimize the killing of excess zombies* so the lag from killing those zombies does not take away from making productive ones. Don’t create huge spawning spaces for the farm because this just creates a lot of excess zombies that serve no purpose (and they bring excess armor into the farm, which requires more frequent culling). Most players need only the 2 linear spawning zones in cardinal directions. IanXO4
