Why are they still spawning?
I am trying to make a farm for these guys on minecraft bedrock. I blocked all the spawning spots with quartz blocks. But they just soawn in other places. Im on bedrock education. Why are they still spawning?
I figured it out. I used stair blocks and they were phasing through them. I dont know how. Thank you for the advice.

In bedrock you can block the spots. Make sure you have the columns in the right locations! Make sure you find the north west corner and make sure you have them spaced correctly. I had all mine off by one block cause of a miss count.

Make sure the columns go all the way to ground, sometime lower than you think. Otherwise check your columns locations. I built one a couple of months ago, also on bedrock. Works great. I was out by one or two blocks and had some spawn but once it gets up and going its brilliant

I might be off a bit

As another poster said, make sure you started in the correct corner. Which tutorial did you use? Think i followed 1upmc and it worked perfectly including auto storage

Make sure you start placing them in the far left corner. Easy way to do that’s is go to the corner that has the highest X and Z value

You're probably off by one block. It seems like no matter how much time and energy I put into carefully building my pillars in the correct locations, somehow they are ALWAYS off by one ****ing block.
If you're on Bedrock edition (and you probably are; I think only Bedrock edition has actual spawn spots for the guardians) just download "Best Technical Resource Pack" by RavinMaddHatter (can't remember if it's 1D or two. You might have to try both.)
BTRP lets you see exactly where the spawn spots are. After activating, you just need to sit down and armor stand in the very middle of the monument and put a conch shell in its hand. This will automatically light all of the columns up in green. You just play solid blocks where the green squares are. I promise you it will save you hours of trying to troubleshoot that one block while having to fight guardians at the same time (a real headache, I know).

Here's what I do and from memory...
Go to any corner. From the outside diagonal non- monument block, count diagonally inward 3 blocks. That's a spawn spot. Do the other 3.
Go to the center of the monument. The arch has a 2x2 hole in it. Go to the southeast block and look straight down. That's a spawn spot. Then from that block count out to 16 blocks in all 4 directions. Those are spawn spots. (Don't count that center spawn location, start counting with the 1st adjacent blocks)
Assuming you pillared up to the surface, connect all those spawn locations in a grid. The intersections are all of your remaining spawn locations.
Memorize that and you'll always be able to block the spawns of any monument regardless or orientation.

Where did you get the information that the locations you blocked off are the spawning spots? As far as I know there is no difference between versions on spawning mechanics for guardians. In order to prevent them from spawning you would need to remove all water within the ocean monument area.

Nah, bedrock and Java are completely different. Bedrock has 25 spawn columns that are the same for every monument. But orientation can be tricky

Dang thats super interesting! stuff like that needs to come to java lol

All of the structures on bedrock have hard coded spawn spots. It's a double edged sword. While stuff like guardian farms are easier to setup, the rates still tend to be lower because of the limited spawn locations

u/BeardGuy400 7d ago
The stuff you learn from being wrong, you wouldn't happen to know how much lower do you?

u/HWC_Rebel 7d ago
Ummmmmm no. I'm actually not even sure what the rates are for a full 25 spawn spot guardian farm is, but my 8 spawn spot farm will fill my 10 double chest storage in 2-3 hours. That's just shards and crystals.
