Bacon: An Architectural Masterpiece in Minecraft
After a rainy day spent on side projects and Minecraft, a sore throat turned into a practical problem: a mining operation and tree farm located kilometers from spawn made repeated spider-related deaths tedious. The walk back to the cave, only to be eaten again, was tiresome. The solution was pig meat—or better, bacon—but pigs are rare and killing them takes time.
Since pigs spawn anywhere grass exists, The Facility was born. Unlike typical structures that blend with their surroundings, this one reflects brutal efficiency in its utilitarian form. The building comprises nine floors of grassy fields, ideal for pigs and other farm animals to spawn. As animals wander, they fall into streams that funnel them into a 36-meter central chasm.
That chasm continues underground, where pigs meet lava at high velocity. Delicious bacon byproducts are carried to a collection station a few meters away. The name "warp core" is fitting, for obvious reasons.
The design also excels at dispatching spiders, creepers, skeletons, and other hostile mobs. Watching them plummet down the shaft to a fiery end is welcome turnabout.
