How to Make a Mob Farm in Minecraft

You can construct a gigantic mob farm, which will both spawn and collect foes on your behalf, provided that you have the appropriate tools. They’ll have nearly no health left as well, making them ideal fodder for speedy XP grinds. All of their drops will be immediately gathered into a treasure chest, and the experience orbs will be waiting for you to pick them up in the same location. This will show you how to set up a monster farm in Minecraft.

How to Make a Mob Farm in Minecraft

In either the Java or Bedrock edition of Minecraft, you have the ability to construct a mob farm. You could be playing in the Survival, Creative, Adventure, or Hardcore mode, but completing this task in any mode other than Creative will require a significant investment of both time and materials.

To establish your mob farm, you’ll need:

• At least 25 stacks of entire cobblestones are required (1600 units in total)
• One whole layer of concealed entrances.
• Four hoppers
• Four treasure boxes
• Four slabs of the material of your choice
• Two pails brimming with water each of them
• Firelighters (optional)
• Scaffolding (optional)

A “full stack” of an item consists of 64 individual units of that item. Additionally, you are not need to utilise cobblestone; any solid block would do; nevertheless, gathering cobblestone is a simple and rapid process.

Building the mob grinder

We are going to begin at the lowest level of the monster farm and work our way up. To begin, we will construct the “mob grinder,” which will damage and keep the mobs that you create.

1. Make a hole in the earth that is 2 by 2 inches. It is sufficient for there to be only one layer beneath it.

2. Insert all four treasure chests into the hole so that they are pointing in the same general direction. It is possible to create a “big” treasure chest by aligning two chests such that they face the same direction and placing them close to each other.

3. Arrange your four hoppers so that they are perched atop the treasure chests. If you don’t crouch down while you’re putting them down, you’ll end up opening treasure chests instead of the chests themselves.

4. Arrange your slabs in such a way that they sit atop the hoppers. Once more, you’ll want to get into a crouching position while you perform it.

If everything went according to plan, you should now have a three-layer monster grinder. After that, we will construct the bridges and the well.

Building the well

This is the area that will keep monsters that are close to death alive until you can come and finish them off.

1. Using your cobblestone blocks (or any other solid material you choose), construct walls around the mob grinder that rise up to a height of 22 blocks. Be sure that the wall is broader than the grinder and that it is floating above the ground at a height that is two blocks higher than the grinder.

2. After you have constructed your wall, proceed to the top of the map and construct 2×8 bridges on each of the four sides.

3. Construct a wall surrounding each of these bridges that is two blocks high.

Now it’s time to construct the structure that will create opponents for us automatically.

Building the spawner room

Although it may appear that way above ground, the only time that adversaries will spawn is when it is night outside. However, the reality is that they can spawn in any location where it is dark, including small caverns and even residences that are only poorly lighted.

In this location, we are intending to construct a huge room that has no windows or other sources of natural light. This will cause the game to mistake our monster farm for a cave and produce monsters inside of it as if it were a cave.

1. Create large flat platforms out of the cobblestone and use them to link the walls of your bridge.

2. Construct a wall that is two blocks high around each individual platform, and then construct a ceiling that is one block higher than the entire structure.

3. Once the roof has been constructed and all of the wells and bridges have been completely encased, proceed inside the structure. It’s possible that in order to go inside, you’ll have to make a temporary hole in the roof.

This area serves as your spawner, and it is here that various enemies, such as zombies, skeletons, and others, will first appear before you eliminate them. You are going to put an end to them by throwing them down the central well as your method of execution. When they collide with the slabs that you set at the bottom, they will sustain significant damage, and by the time this happens, they will have just one or two hearts of health remaining. You only need a few hits to eliminate them, and the goodies will be yours to keep.

(Unfortunately, you are the only one who can deliver the knockout punch. If you raise the height of the well such that foes are instantly killed when they fall into it, they won’t leave behind as much experience or as many things for you to collect.

But in order to accomplish this, we will have to devise a plan to coerce them into going into the well. This is the point where the water buckets and trapdoors come into play.

4. Position one of your trapdoors atop each of the bridges using your equipment. For each bridge, you will need a total of 16 trapdoors, with eight located on either side.

5. Ensure that your trapdoors are open so that you will be able to fall down them when you step on them. The hostile mobs in Minecraft mistake open trapdoors for solid ground, thus when they walk into one, they are instantly killed.

6. Make use of the water buckets you have to hand in order to set up running water at the ends of your bridges, which are up against the wall. If you have the spacing correct, the water should run down the bridges and stop just at the edge of your well if it is working properly. It is important to prevent the water from flowing down the well, as this will protect the enemy from taking damage from falling.

You have now completed construction of a fully operational mob farm. After leaving, you should put out any fires you may have started and then plug any holes you may have found.

Putting on the finishing touches

You’re almost there now that you have a mob farm set up. The first step is to light the entire mob farm by placing torches on the roof. Because of this, monsters will spawn inside the farm rather than on top of it. Next, establish an AFK space. You will be able to wait here in relative safety as the monsters spawn and deal damage to themselves here.

Anywhere within 128 blocks of the spawn room is acceptable for your AFK room. But the greatest location for it is around 80 blocks above the farm’s roof in the air. At this altitude, the only location mobs can spawn is in your spawner room because they can’t spawn in the air.

Scaffolding, which makes going up and down quick and easy even if you aren’t in Creative mode, is what you need here. You can climb the scaffolding and get an aerial view of your mob farm from a height of 80 blocks. When you get there, you should create a little room for yourself out of any material you can find.

FAQs

How tall does a mob farm need to be?

Build a platform that is 20 by 20 blocks in size and is 28 blocks above the ground using any solid block. Construct walls that are six blocks high all around the platform.

How far can skeletons fall without dying?

22 blocks
Creepers, skeletons, and zombies each have a health value of 20, and they can only survive a fall of 22 blocks. The highest amount of health possessed by a witch is 28, and it takes a fall of 30 blocks for them to lose a single point of health.

Why dont mobs spawn in my mob farm?

If your mob farm is too high, monsters won’t spawn there since the structure won’t be connected to the ground below it. If dropped below 35 blocks, the witch will die, and if dropped below 44 blocks, the Enderman will die. However, if you build it higher than 32 blocks, it will no longer generate any creatures.
