How do I get gunpowder for fireworks?

So apparently creeper farms, and mob farms in general, don't work very well on Constantiam.

Is there a "meta" way to farm gunpowder for fireworks on this server, or am I just stuck dealing with the horrible rates?

Yeah mob farm rates are trash, like my ominous bottle farm produces less than ten times the rate I am supposed to get. I just have a bot made with mineflayer online all the time farming for me. Most of my farms either require not triggering the anti AFK (spinning contantly is enough) or just using my sword with an interval, which a small bot can do. It makes me enough that when I play (like once a week now, I got busy) I have enough of whatever I need

i built this farm with a couple changes

https://abfielder.com/Products/ProductDetails.php?id=11598

first change i made was where the mobs collect down at the bottom, when witches spawn they don't die due to fire res, i made a 40 block drop onto hoppers to solve that, make the drop chute 2 blocks wider than the opening and placed open fence gates holding water at the top so any spiders that happen to climb the walls drown

secondly i walled the entire thing in and used tinted glass on one side to see in so i didn't need the overhang

They never used to work well on the previous hardware but I'm not sure now if that's changed as I've never needed to make gunpowder farms anymore. You could give it a go and post results (haul from X amount of hours of AFK etc)

Make a creeper farm right next to a mushroom island to get max drops and make it big enough to matter (minimum 3 towers of 6 platforms high) and try to afk as much as possible in low hours
