Mob Farms in Minecraft

In the sprawling landscapes of Minecraft, a quest for experience points (XP) can be an arduous one even with the mightiest armor and weapons. Waiting for nightfall or exploring caves yield slow results. Fear not though for there's a game-changing shortcut: the mighty mob farm.

With the right tools, you're able to build a massive mob farm that effectively spawns and collects enemies for your convenience. These mobs are carefully weakened, giving the player the perfect scenario for grinding XP quickly. And, as a bonus, all these drops are automatically funneled into a treasure chest, and HQs of XP orbs lurk in the tall grass.

Say goodbye to the monotony of XP grinding methods and hello to the mob farm era, a faster and automated way in helping improve your character's skill sets in a 8-bit Minecraft universe.

Powerful and extremely flexible Minecraft hosting servers allow you to directly add plugins, mods, networks, and other features on the server. All of this is made much easier with ScalaCube rent a Minecraft server.

These servers also include strong configuration options for quickly changing server difficulty, allowing you to create the ideal atmosphere for everyone playing on your server.

How to Make a Minecraft Mob Farm

A mob farm may be built in either Java or Bedrock editions of Minecraft. And you can play in Survival, Creative, Adventure, or Hardcore mode – although anything other than Creative will require a significant amount of time and money.

You will need the following items to construct your mob farm:

• At least 25 entire cobblestone stacks (1600 units in total)
• One complete stack of trapdoors
• Four hoppers
• Four treasure chests
• Four slabs of any material
• Two water-filled buckets
• Torches (optional) 
• Scaffolding (optional)

A "full stack" is defined as 64 units of an item. You don't have to utilize cobblestone; any solid block would suffice; but, cobblestone is quick and simple to obtain.

Making the mob grinder

It's best to start at the bottom of the mob farm and work your way up. First, construct the "mob grinder," which both harms and retains the mobs you create.

• Make a 2-by-2-foot hole in the dirt. It should just be one layer thick.
• Insert your four treasure boxes into the hole, each facing the same way. When two chests are placed close to one other in the same direction, they combine to form a "big" treasure chest.
• Position your four hoppers on the prize boxes. If you don't crouch when placing them, you'll just keep unlocking the treasure containers.
• Arrange the slabs on top of the hoppers. Again, you should crouch while doing it.

If you did everything successfully, you should now have a three-layer mob grinder. Then the well and bridges will be built next.

Building the well

This is the area where monsters with low health will be held until you arrive to slay them.

• Construct walls around the mob grinder that extend 22 blocks into the sky using your cobblestone blocks (or other sturdy building materials of your choice). Check that the wall is two blocks higher off the ground than the grinder and that it is broader than the grinder.
• Once your wall is complete, proceed to the top and construct 2x8 bridges on all four sides.
• Build a two-block-high wall around each of these bridges.

Then construct the building that will automatically create adversaries.

Creating the Spawner Room

It could seem that enemies only appear above ground at night. But they will appear anywhere that is dark, even in little tunnels and dimly lit homes. We are going to build this enormous dark chamber. We will deceive the game into thinking that our mob farm is a cave in order to create mobs there.

• Connect your bridge walls with cobblestone by building enormous flat platforms.
• Build a wall that is two blocks high around each platform before covering everything with a roof that is one block higher.
• Once the roof is complete and the wells and bridges are completely encased, enter the structure. To get access, you may need to temporarily break a portion of the roof.

Before you can destroy them, zombies, skeletons, and other creatures will appear in your spawner chamber. You're going to throw them down the middle well and kill them. When they hit the slabs you placed at the bottom, they will take a ton of damage and will only have one or two hearts left. They'll be eliminated after a few hits, leaving you with the treasure.

Unfortunately, you must deliver the knockout blow. If you build the well taller such that the enemy dies as soon as they fall, they will not drop as much XP or stuff.

However, you must first construct a mechanism to drive them down the well. This is when the trapdoors and buckets come into play.

• Position each of your trapdoors across a bridge. Each bridge will require 16 trapdoors, eight on each side.
• Check that your trapdoors are open such that you fall down them when you step on them. Because Minecraft foes see open trapdoors as solid ground, they will easily walk into them and fall through them.
• Fill your buckets with flowing water and position them at the ends of your bridges, against the wall. The water should run down the bridges and stop just at the edge of your well if you spaced them appropriately. Make sure no water flows down the well - this will protect the adversaries from falling harm.

How to Make Use of Your Mob Farm

In your spawner chamber, it's possible that mobs have already started to appear. Take a minimum of five minutes to pass before leaving your AFK room and making your way back to the base of the mob farm.

You will find multiple enemies huddled together on top of the stone slabs if you built it correctly and waited long enough. Only their legs should be seen; they won't be very noticeable.

Once you have enough enemies, kill them by swinging a weapon at their legs. Just one or two hits should be enough for each of them.
Along with dropping XP orbs for you to collect, the enemy will also drag any other stuff, like weapons and armor, into the treasure chests below. At any time, you are free to open the chests and obtain the drops.
