Tutorials/Blaze farming

This tutorial seeks to teach you, the player, how to farm blazes, a mob found in fortresses.

Usage
There are many uses for a blaze farm. Blazes drop twice as much experience as normal mobs while only having 20 health points, the same amount as a zombie or skeleton. This makes blazes ideal for XP farming. On top of that, blaze rods are the only source of blaze powder which is needed for brewing and to get to the End. Blaze rods are also the fourth most efficient fuel sources; the top three being lava buckets, blocks of coal, and dried kelp blocks.

Basic Parts
Before starting your blaze farm, you will need to find a fortress. Once you've found one, you need to decide where and how you want your blaze farm to be built. You can either make a blaze farm from blaze spawners or from the open fortress. Each place needs its own system to deal with them.

Spawner
Building a blaze farm around a spawner is possibly the easiest farm to build. This is because the area around a blaze spawner will only spawn blazes. These farms have the following components:


 * 1) Spawning Space - Blazes can spawn in midair. This area must be enclosed to prevent the blazes from floating up and potentially avoiding the second area. Blazes can spawn within a 9 by 9 flat platform centered on the spawner, and one layer above and below the spawner block.
 * 2) Funnel - There must be a system to move the blazes into a small space, where they can be killed. Many times, the funnel is accomplished by the blazes stepping on pressure plates, activating pistons, which push the blazes toward the killing chamber.
 * 3) Killing Chamber - Blazes must be killed quickly due to mob cramming, however, several means can be taken to avoid this. Many killing chambers use suffocation damage to get the blazes to half of a heart, so that the player can kill them in one hit, while some fully automatic farms make them a bit more complex, and use wolves to kill the blazes.

When building a blaze farm using a spawner, it is recommended to light up the area around the spawner temporarily, so that blazes don't spawn while you're building the farm itself. Blazes will spawn around a spawner if there is a light level of 11 or lower (lower half of their body).

When you remove the light sources within the cage, you may need a potion of Fire Resistance to survive a swarm of blazes.

Open Fortress
These are possibly the most difficult to build because the open fortress will also spawn wither skeletons, normal skeletons, zombified piglin, ghasts, and magma cubes. Building an open-fortress design meant solely for blazes is impractical if you have an alternative, but if your nether fortress does not have a blaze spawner, or you accidentally destroyed them, an open fortress farm is your only option. Here are the basic parts:


 * 1) Spawning Space - Blazes can spawn anywhere in the individual nether fortress room structures, or on any nether brick anywhere within the bounds of the entire fortress. Using nether brick as the platform can allow for the farm to have eight or more platforms.
 * 2) Collector - Running around aimlessly killing blazes is extremely inefficient. Constructing an automatic system to collect the blazes in one area makes the killing process more efficient. The hardest part of a collector when using the open fortress is collecting only blazes, and not other Nether mobs.
 * 3) Killing Chamber - The killing chamber is the same, except the player will have to sort the mobs such that they do not accidentally provoke a zombified piglin, and so that the other mobs are killed faster.
