You can also place just one Granite/Marble Block around the character, and this adds Granite/Marble Biome spawns, but they can become more frequent if the character stands on at least one Granite/Marble Block.
Missed this comment, I'd like to clarify that the game scans half a block under the player, at the player's center horizontally, for a marble/granite block, and this causes spawns. Otherwise, you can cause these spawns by having enemies spawn directly on the associated block type, but just having a block nearby the spawn range isn't enough for good consistency; a 4x4 cube near the spawn surface would guarantee that the game would see the granite/marble, though.
I seem to be running into an issue where every so often id see a worm come "digging" through the air and it will persist around for a while before going off and despawning, any ideas why this is happening? Also, did I do my underground desert incorrectly? I thought the background would change if I did it correct but it doesn't seem to be happening.

Underground Desert doesn't have a background change, it looks correct however. As for worms, not really a way to prevent them from spawning but at least they're despawning for you so not really interrupting the farm it seems.
I have a problem. I am trying to get the Rod of discord. I did your chaos elemental farm but it seems like it doesn't work. Before that I did spider farm, crimson farm, and dungeon farm. After spider farm the farms seem to be somehow broken. After i finished using spider farm i broke all the walls and blocks that was used to spawn them, but I am still getting the spiders dropped. My try was to infect the farm with hollow but that didn't work. I am still getting dropped spiders till this day and cant do anything about it. Also the Chaos elementals are dropping 3 in 1 minute, which is not good for me. Is this normal or did i do something wrong? I am playing on tModLoader but i am not using any mods that change the games aspect, only visual stuff.
I'm in the same scenario that 7xxoslayo is in. I am getting 1-2 chaos elementals every so often. Is that the intended results for it? That seems way too slow? Did I do something wrong?

So firstly, are you noticing them spawn anywhere else? If you have binoculars or golf balls, anything to move the camera over to the spawning platform make sure everyone is spawning there and not anywhere else. If they are spawning somewhere else then you'll have to place some lava there with bubble blocks.

Same for you, make sure they're not spawning anywhere else and block off other possible spawns. You may want a different minion than Stardust Dragon as it kills things too far away from the player as well.

Here is the greater area around my farm, I do not believe anything is spawning above the farm. I still have the stardust dragon equipped but I do not think that is an issue as I have watched it and it has only gone over to the spawn platform area to kill the flying swords. The mobs are all spawning on the spawn platform majority are normal Caverns mobs with the rare Chaos Elemental spawning from time to time.

That didn't really change much it seems. Funny enough I did get the Rod of Discord off of the first Chaos Elemental that came by after making that adjustment. It honestly seems like more come when I'm moving around but that doesn't make any sense with the shadow candle being right there.

So it did sorta work. Jk. I'll test around with it more when I have the time, I've been working a lot lately so I'll have maybe 5 days of the entire month to actually play the game, I do still plan on putting out updates for this guide but there's also the wiki guide that has been updated with correct information linked here: Enemy farming

I made the farm on my own post-Moon Lord world (following the video), however it keeps spawning enemies on top of the desert section as I've shown here:
Idk. It looks like it's spawning better now but the SPIDERS. I hate them. I hate them so much. how do i fix it :'|. (btw do mimic have to spawn in elemental farm? or did i do something wrong?)

For the spiders really make sure you got all the walls, if there are walls behind blocks then spiders will still spawn
For chaos elementals, make sure you're not in a hallowed biome, chaos elementals only need to spawn on pearlstone, removing the rest of the pearlstone around you to make it not a hallowed biome will disable biome mimic spawns
I've just entered hardmode, lowered my granite platform the way shown in your picture, and jungle mimics are still activating. Is it because I'm in an npc menu?
Amazing farm,I have changed my biome to crimson and the spawning blocks to crimson stone but im not getting any enemies that drop Vertebra.Is there a way to spawn in blood crawlers/face monster/crimera or floaty gross????
Introduction:
With the upcoming changes in 1.4.5 (like hoppers and such) I wanna put out this guide to help players make actually efficient AFK farms. I will be starting with a basic cavern AFK farm and will show other AFK farms at the bottom of the post.
Then you want to start mapping out the farm, we are going to start with the 168 stack and clear out a spot. You can clear out till a straight line, it's fine if you overshoot, then just start placing 168 tiles until you have enough.
Final Touches:
Now you can stop here and just add lava to the chamber and sit under it with a battle potion, but if you want to add some more efficiency to your farm we are going to move onto the next step which is adding the sand. You can easily get a lot of sand by shimmering ale bought from the tavernkeep.
Doesn't matter too much as long as there isn't any sand offscreen. View attachment 476004
The next step is creating a hoik, now take your 2 stacks of 84 blocks and stack them on top of each other, on top of the walkway.
Now we add the spot where we will stand, which is the platform and all of the amenities.
View attachment 476009
I did test it out to confirm that it does work. Make sure that you're standing in front of the sandstone walls to be considered inside an underground desert biome, turn the 1 second timer on, and you do not need a water candle for this farm. You do not have to shimmer these walls, it is best leave them to avoid certain desert spawns.
Other Farms:
Place 12 dungeon walls over the sandstone walls, 20 inside the kill chamber, and 78 (26 in 3 layers on the walkway. You also want 78 (26 in 3 layers) on the walkway as well as 250 dungeon bricks near you to create a dungeon biome. Important to note is that you do not need Dungeon Walls at the spawning platform if you do not plan on using slab or tile walls. Any wall will work if you wanna farm with just regular brick. The importance of slab and tile walls can be found here View attachment 476011
View attachment 476012
You're going to want to add a Water Candle since you no longer have the buff from the underground desert, you also want turtle armor and some form of knockback resistance for the souls (if you don't want to farm ectoplasm then don't add the walls into the kill chamber).
You only need 26 Pearlstone Blocks to replace the 26 tiles on the walkway and 99 of any wall to place next to your person, the walls are so you can use Spider Minions to kill any Enchanted Swords.
Just need 300 Crimstone/Ebonstone or 125 Pearlstone and 10 more blocks of your choosing, going to need Treasure Magnet or Hand of Creation View attachment 477846
Add the floor back and lower your afk platform View attachment 477840
You cannot use traps in this setup, making lava the only source of killing enemies. Biome mimics will be hoiked in and you will be too far to trigger.
Just need 300 Crimstone/Ebonstone or 125 Pearstone and 26 Infested Spider Walls for the Spiders. View attachment 476066
You're going to want to first place the Infested Spider Wall behind the spawning platform of your farm, for any farm involving walls you will want the walls to go behind you spawning platform (with the exception being dungeon enemies). Spiders will take up all of the spawns and you won't have to worry about Biome Mimics. View attachment 476065
Corruption: View attachment 476071
Crimson: View attachment 476072
Hallowed: View attachment 476073
It's fine if you don't see the background change when standing behind the sandstone walls, you're still in the biome, you will still get souls. Also no, this won't corrupt anything.
You're going to follow the same guide until you get to the hoik part then you're going to need 110 platforms, 84 for the 1st layer and 26 for the top layer. You may want to extend the blocker like in the snow farm.
View attachment 476019
Start off like this, then you want to hammer the top platforms 3 times and then blockswap the bottom layer with platforms.
For a Snow biome you're going to want to delete the barrier and then remake it but longer like shown, you'll have to extend the actuators to match the end of the gate. View attachment 476824
View attachment 476064
To create a jungle biome you just need 140 jungle grass, hive, or lihzahrd bricks.
View attachment 476062
This is a jungle setup, the jungle part can be designed however you like. If you want to farm either Man Eaters or Jungle Tortoises it's best to do that on the jungle surface itself.
View attachment 476826
alternative setup for jungle that is more compact. You can also make it into layers for farming jungle materials like life fruits and jungle spores.
Conclusion:
While I am rather short on time at the start of making this post, I am open to requests on any other AFK designs. If you have any questions or corrections let me know.
Also credit to zero_rin and ARK | Quasar of the Terraria Discord for helping me to create these. Another Thank you to Kellam Yoshikage for corrections and additional info.
