This build is a modified mob farm designed for efficient trophy collection, specifically focusing on mob heads. It utilizes lightning rods during thunderstorms to convert standard creepers into charged creepers. The resulting explosions are then used to generate the coveted mob heads.
Manual collection is recommended as production is dependent on weather. This design bypasses complex hopper systems by having the operator manually trigger the detonation and collect the trophies directly from the impact zone. This ensures no heads are lost and simplifies the overall structure.
This farm is calibrated for Overworld mobs like Zombies, Skeletons, and Creepers. It is not designed for Piglin head farming due to the reliance on thunderstorms and specific Nether-based mechanics. The core design is not original, but it has been slightly altered to prevent the kill zone from exploding, enhancing its functionality.
