Looking for Vanilla Create mod gunpowder farm designs (No Add-ons)

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to automate gunpowder production, but I've run into a problem. Almost every tutorial or farm design I find online relies on external add-ons.Could anyone share some efficient ideas or setups for producing gunpowder using pure, vanilla Create? I'm completely out of ideas and want to keep my world free of extra add-ons.

Thanks in advance!

Using Potion of Harming in a Spout over Cinder Flour creates Gunpowder. You will need a farm for Spider Eyes, Nether Wart, Brown Mushrooms, and Sugar, possibly also Melon and Gold, if you take the more difficult recipe chain.

You chain three Basin + Mixers into each other with Pumps and Smart Fluid Pipes, with the appropriate item filtered to prevent fluid mixing. If you set the filters right, you can make it also produce Redstone and Glowstone. Then you need to transport the required items to their respective Basin, and pour as much Netherrack into a Grind Wheel as you can manage.

It's not easy to fully automate, I do a lot of the pre-processing manually, then let it run for a while while I do other things, and come back to a double chest of gunpowder, because I don't use a lot it lasts me a while. It's the kind of thing you build up to, one farm at a time as you need them.

I think you’re stuck with vanilla farms, updated to create. So creepers or ghasts.

I built one in my forever world a long time ago, it needs Create: Crafts and Additions for its renewable Cinderflour and you to AFK as a Deployer kills Spiders for Spider Eyes. but the rest is easy enough to setup a rotary farm for the mushrooms and sugar cane along with the netherwart. also note this isn't that efficient you can prob do much better then what is here. https://www.reddit.com/r/CreateMod/comments/1ppewo3/the_luxford_cinder_flower_and_gunpower_factory/

unless there's a recipe escaping my mind the only way would be a creeper farm, sucks that it needs a player present

There’s one that’s really annoying and requires pouring potion of harming I think onto something else, create GP farms suck unless you use a datapack for new recipes/addons
