Glowstone farm?

[brilliantjoe]

Does anyone have a method of producing glowstone that doesn't involve flying around in the nether and breaking tons of it? I'm an auto-production junkie and glowstone is driving me nuts.

[Curunir]

As far as I know, Glowstone is a finite, non-producable resource right now. This might change if it gets (re-)added to Equivalent Exchange, but EE3 only has a handful of transformation recipes working right now, mostly for minerals.

That being said, I also would like a better way than crawling through the Nether again and again to get more. Especially since Greg's floodlights take so much of it.

Mystcraft age, glowstone spheres.

 

Technically not auto-production by itself, but if you do this in your quarrying age it'll dig up the underground spheres for you.

Auto-production - maybe laser drill or witch drops it so auto-spawner + grinder

(Human resources indeed  )

Redstone in motion automated tunnel bore with mining wells to mine out all layers will work in the nether or ages with glowstone.

I don't think the laser drill makes it. A witch spawner, though, is the first truly renewable method here. Nice.

I've been using a Laser Drill with filters set for Nether Quartz (white) and I have been getting a decent trickle of Glow Stone

Capture a witch in a safari net and autospawn them. If you need a good mob farm to produce essence try cursed earth. You'll need silk touch to get it as far as I know.

I have to cursed earth mob grinders, I just activate the sigil on the sqaure I want it on, and use a mob repeller to get away before the creeper blow it up
