    They are 23x23 but i think it was because i was afk and not in the chunk so they spawned but didnt move. But when i got into the chunk render they all fell out

    This question is open to anyone who thinks they can answer it.

    What is the most efficient gold farm? I'm talking in terms of obsidian used, space, and average spawn rates when the entire farm is set up. I've seen several designs now and I want to compare the efficiencies of all these farms in order to make mine better.

    I believe it is when you put portals side to side, because a 23x23 portal box has less spawnable spaces per block

    i havent looked into it but maybe a 3 high but 32 long might save vertical space. i havent done research about it but it might be better cuz they only spawn on the obby blocks

    Like basically, If you put the portals side by side, instead of making a 23x23 portal boxes and have smaller portals within it, you would get less spawns. This is because pigmen spawn more based off the amount of the swirly purple block thingies :p So side by side portals are more efficient, rather than the 23x23 box with mini portals in it
