Related: Minecraft: Things You Must Do Once You Enter The Nether Here are just a few incredibly ingenious Redstone and non-Redstone farms to help anyone boost their experience gain. Thankfully, like just about any other process in the game, players have figured out countless ways to turn it into a quick and efficient process. However, gaining experience is a slow process. Although there are no skills or additional abilities to unlock, experience points can be spent on powerful enchantments for your gear, which can make fighting stronger and stronger mobs much easier. (I still need to fix the water channels as the spiders are getting stuck somewhere)Īll of the rooms have several redstone lamps on the ceiling so that I can turn off the spawners for maintenance if needed.Experience is one of the key gameplay features in Minecraft.

Spiders go to an automated drowner and a water flow collects the goodies and through a hopper drops them into a chest. Why so many chests? So that it takes longer to fill up, and so that I only have to sort and store at most once a day. The chests empty down into hoppers and into further chests - fewer at each level, eventually down to 1 chest where I collect the goodies. A 2-wide area around the kill block is floored with hoppers feeding into chests.

where I finish them off (XP grind plus goodies). Skeleton and zombie flow out of the rooms, join up in an elevator that takes them at least 20 levels up, then drops them 20 levels to a kill block with their top half enclosed. 3 spawner rooms (zombie, skeleton and spider) over each other, each having 5 spawners side by side in the center and built on a slight variation from the design in this video. The sides of the entire spawning room should be cut out 1 to 2 blocks so mobs can fall down. At least five blocks will be needed for each room, or more if mobs get stuck on each other. The ceiling will be the floor of the next spawning room, with water flowing to the edges above too. Quote from Armorika »You could try towering them: Have a spawner in the middle of the room with water flowing towards the edges. Note that mobs spawned from spawners can spawn in midair, so you can place the spawners then remove the supports and they will drop down to a collection area below.Īll this is assuming they have the default vanilla spawning behavior you can also place the spawners up to 32 blocks apart and still be close enough to activate them as they have a 16 block player detection radius (spherical, so be sure to verify they work if you place them apart).

Also, other mobs will cause obstructions because mobs can't spawn on top of other mobs, so you want to remove them as quickly as possible for both reasons otherwise a mob spawner will only obstruct spawning within the block it occupies so placing two next to each other will spawn mobs at nearly the same rate as two spawners separated by their spawning ranges I believe they can be the same type of mob since they only check to see if there are too many mobs nearby when they attempt to spawn them and the spawning cycles have random delays, so it is unlikely they will both try to spawn mobs at the same time and if they do they will spawn at different times the next time. Multiple spawners near each other will interfere if they are spawning the same type of mob because they only spawn more mobs if there are less than 6 of the same type of mob being spawned within a 9x9x9 area centered around the spawner see the Wiki for details.
