Practical 1D Wither Skeleton farm - Mini WIske Train (450+ skulls/h, 1D) Minecraft 1.19-1.20

1.20.4 update (minor change):    • Witherskelly farm update for 1.20.4 +...  

This wither skeleton farm is a stripped down version of Stromnes WiSkeTrain. It uses minimal spawnproofing, no portals (the farm will work on a server if other players are on), can be built fairly rapidly and produces about 450 skulls/h along with 16k (9 shulker boxes) of coal and 22k (12 shulker boxes) of bones. Essentially I tried to make the simplest 1-dimensional wither skeleton farm (no portals) that I could, allowing me to farm wither skulls/beacons for a new survival world.

The farm works on Minecraft Java and needs to be built in a soul sand valley. It uses only one double crossing as spawning space, along with one minecart line bringing in 2.5 wither skeletons per second to the player. Only the fortress structures need to be spawnproofed, which can be done rapidly using a simple mob switch. The farm will even work fine if you miss a few spawning spaces.

The video contains instructions how to locate a suitable spot for the farm (using the mods MiniHud and Tweakeroo), which must be a spot within a soul sand valley such that there is no other biome 128 blocks in each direction. It also explains how to set up a simple mob switch to ease spawnproofing, and how to get the required wither roses.

Resources needed are 4-6 stacks gold for powered rails and about 11-12 stacks of iron, as the farm needs several iron golems (that could be replaced by piglins, but iron golems are easier to handle) and over a double chest of minecarts. Otherwise the farm is fairly resource friendly, needing just a few simple redstone components. The video explains how to get the required wither roses.

Notes/corrections:
* Breeding 30-35 striders in the vicinity of your AFK spot should block pretty much all normal mob spawns in a soul sand valley. Check gnembons video (linked below) for more details.
