They typically involve a contraption that spawns mobs, which are then killed to gain experience points (XP). For obvious reasons, the number of spawned mobs needs to be high to yield substantial results, but not every computer is equipped to handle the chaos if these mobs go loose.<\/p>\n<p>A Redditor who goes by the name u\/Mr_Incogno recently shared a video on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/minecraft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Minecraft<\/a> subreddit, showcasing how their silverfish farm completely annihilated the frame rate. In the clip, the player could be seen opening the floodgates for the mobs, which then started running loose, causing the frame rate to drop to unplayable levels.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the post, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Minecraft\/comments\/1jck3nn\/comment\/mi3ttej\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">u\/Main_Gabriel commented<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Oh.. my&#8230; pc&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>u\/Main_Gabriel commented on the strain the original poster\u2019s computer endured while attempting to load so many entities at once. <\/p>\n<p>Another user, u\/Error-Code404, questioned why anyone would open the floodgates, pointing out that releasing the silverfish mobs would inevitably lead to poor game performance.<\/p>\n<p>u\/Jables_Magee shared that a similar incident had occurred to them twice. They explained how the silverfish had created a massive hole in the floor of their stone mountain base. Since that event, they have reinforced their base to prevent such accidents in the future.<\/p>\n<p>u\/SunnySrow also recounted a similar experience where opening the door of the same XP farm unleashed silverfish that began attacking other players. However, they had strong gear and weapons and managed to survive, though everyone else was panicking.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"Reddit reacts to the silverfish XP farm mishap (Image via Reddit)\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/540d1-17422777991248-1920.jpg\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/540d1-17422777991248-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/540d1-17422777991248-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/540d1-17422777991248-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/540d1-17422777991248-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/540d1-17422777991248-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/540d1-17422777991248-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/540d1-17422777991248-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/540d1-17422777991248-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/540d1-17422777991248-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Reddit reacts to the silverfish XP farm mishap (Image via Reddit)\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/540d1-17422777991248-1920.jpg?w=640\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201080%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>Reddit reacts to the silverfish XP farm mishap (Image via Reddit)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>u\/vladtseppesh420 commented that the moment they saw the gates being opened, they immediately realized the original poster must have regretted it. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, u\/Vinalef jokingly remarked that the game was essentially over at that point.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Automatic farms in Minecraft<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"The Rubik's cube build in Minecraft (Image via Reddit\/purpledragonnuke)\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/33e40-17422778836174-1920.jpg\"\/><img class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/33e40-17422778836174-1920.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/33e40-17422778836174-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/33e40-17422778836174-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/33e40-17422778836174-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/33e40-17422778836174-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/33e40-17422778836174-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/33e40-17422778836174-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/33e40-17422778836174-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/33e40-17422778836174-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"The Rubik's cube build in Minecraft (Image via Reddit\/purpledragonnuke)\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/03\/33e40-17422778836174-1920.jpg?w=640\" bad-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201080%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>The Rubik&#8217;s cube build in Minecraft (Image via Reddit\/purpledragonnuke)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/minecraft\/new-minecraft-redstone-experimental-changes-explained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Minecraft&#8217;s redstone<\/a> is an item that allows the creation of impressive machines and automated farms that might seem impossible at first. <\/p>\n<p>There are many basic contraptions in the game, like automatic harvesters, which can break crops and collect them in chests.
