Wither Spawning Pads

"NO, my stuff fell into the lava!"

- quotum These Wither Spawning Pads produce almost 100% of LontyLan's Wither Skulls, as well as some of its coal, and bones. This manual farm is regarded as one of the most overpowered farms in LontyLan's history - as it provides Beacons throughout the world.

Construction
The Wither Spawning Pads were constructed over a long period of time, starting in mid 2015, and finishing in early 2016. It involved mining out huge sections of a Nether Fortress, not to mention mountains of netherrack. TNT was originally the favourable method of removing netherrack but lava flowed everywhere. Efficiency III pickaxes were eventually used for the remainder of the clearing out process. The three stacked platforms themselves were made from stone slabs at the start of Demeralds and measured 19x38 blocks in size. At the end of Demeralds, a few thousand slabs were placed around the farm in attempt to increase spawn rates, however, little effect was observed.

Location
The Wither Spawning Pads are located on the coordinates (660, 60, -190), about 600 blocks away from The Nether Hub. It lies on the edge of a huge lava lake, in a huge nether fortress, which is mostly submerged in netherrack. This farm is one of the few farms located within the Nether.

History
The Wither Spawning Pads were lost in late Demeralds, due to lack of playing on LontyLan, and it took hours to find them again. Another time the Pigmen around the area were aggravated and many lives were lost. A whole set of diamond armour and tools were lost to the lava's depths too.
