I think the golden seahorse is the one of the hardest if not the hardest critter to get in the game. But the spawn conditions were easy to meet and quite a simple farm could be made.
The farm uses a king statue with 3 spawned npcs to boost critter spawn rates.
Once the npcs are spawned in you float on a teleporter using the witches broom mount and turn on the 10 second timer, made from a 5 second timer and a flip flop thing (idk what it’s called)
Once ten seconds are up you are teleported across the spawn space which should/might have a seahorse in it (they’re really rare as heck). Every 1/4 seconds you are teleported to the next teleporter. Once you’ve gone over that the cycle repeats again and you wait another 10 seconds.
Whilst you are waiting, to make sure this farm works in expert mode and above, the enemies are rapidly despawned using a dummy engine that is hooked up to the same teleporters you teleport across to pick up seahorses. When you are telporting across the spawn area the dummy engine is turned off.
Dolphins and sea turtles are the most problematic thing I encountered as they cannot be picked up with bug nets. They quickly block out seahorse spawns. This is why after every cycle a dart fires across the top of the water killing all sea turtles and most dolphins. Sadly sometimes seahorses also rise to the surface and get killed by the dart but I’m not sure how to get around this. Maybe there is a very specific fill level of water that keeps seahorses safe but kill turtles?
Dolphins swim under water but rise to the surface quite a lot also jumping out of the water. The lava above the spawn area automatically kills any jumping dolphins.
The wiring I feel can be sometimes a bit difficult to follow (Especially looking at it on a mobile screen that can’t take large screenshots) and with so much overlap.
Of course this works best in the jungle biome with water candles battle potions. Not sure if luck effects this but gnome too and torch too.
Doesn’t work during blood moons but is bloodmoon safe if you cover everything with lava and use a lava charm.
I’m pretty sure it’s AFK proof Cus idk what could kill you.
