i built this in survival for the first time today, and a little tip, don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet - if you're trying to farm music discs, put some trapdoors all around the little gap the mobs will see you through. you can flip them open when you want to farm discs and flip them closed for regular farming. otherwise you risk all the mobs seeing you and reacting and most importantly: the witches throwing their potions WILL piss the creepers off and they WILL blow open the bottom of your farm. i've begun to kill all the witches individually before i disc farm to avoid this again. be careful with those creepers!

If you're grinding for just experience, you should use a sword that does NOT have the looting enchantment. Every piece of equipment a mob spawns with increases the amount of XP that mob will drop, but only if the equipment is NOT dropped. Looting increases the chances of these dropping too which decreases overall XP.

[@celestialsrose]

smart, thanks for the info :)

[@TFVids]

Would using a grindwheel mitigate the loss of XP by getting the XP off the enchanted equipment?

[@watchbenfail]

@@TFVids It definitely mitigates it but probably not enough to overcome what you lose. The numbers for how often equipment is enchanted and how much XP you get from grinding don't seem to be known, so you can't do the math. Testing would be required. I think it would be fairly easy to test this by setting up something in a creative world and then switching it to survival. That said, my personal perception is no, it does not. Especially for mobs that always spawn with equipment (i.e. zombified piglins and skeletons).

[@davidyounger2965]

If your building a farm just for XP then a massive portal gold farm was the best one I ever had. You make 4 nether portals as big as they can get connected in a cube with a turtle egg at the bottom and a system that turns the portals off and on. You get something like 50 zombie pig men per minute. They rush toward the turtle egg and fall into the kill chute where you’re standing next to a trident killer the lag while the thing is running is ridiculous but your xp will be in triple digits in about 5 minutes.

[@watchbenfail]

@@davidyounger2965 definitely the way to go! in the case of a high yield XP farm, the difference between looting and no looting is pretty much moot. My point only makes sense when you have an early game multi-purpose farm. Sometimes you want loot, but most times you want XP and its so slow that it definitely makes a difference.

[@milkman8475]

I’m pretty sure that when you build in the squares at the top you should get a 13x13 and not an 11x11. I went back and trimmed it down and didn’t have a 2 block gap between my 3x3 platforms. Idk could’ve just built it wrong

How to make this work on BEDROCK: Carpets and slabs actually will not stop spider spawns on BEDROCK. For that, you'll have to use buttons. If you want spiders, constructing the tube out of extinguished campfires should keep them from sticking, I believe. Light still gets through that block, so you might have to use something else at the top of the tube. Also, you're probably going to want to put a trident killer at the bottom so you don't have to slash at them with a sword. Guys, like Prowl, will have videos on how to make a good kill shaft with a TK.

[@basmsmuhammad1950]

Good points

[@mikehosier1239]

[@Wopko]

W comment bro.

[@ichimikuze]

​@@mikehosier1239the farthest number of blocks you can AFK at Bedrock edition is 26 blocks and will improve the spawn rate of mobs. I recommend lowering your render distance from 8 to 6 (or 4).

[@mopar3502001]

Very good point. Thank you for making it. I love the TKs. They are OP for AFK farming in Bedrock.

[@shawnreed363]

Ok so bedrock spawn rate sucks but if you use buttons instead of carpet, you get about 250-300 spawns per hour. Thats off a 15 minute timer and i left one spot for spiders just for the occasional string. Could make this into a trident killer and get decent afk rates for sure. Only issue if had since i finished the build is first i forgot to open my gates which destroys the rate, and on occasion the mobs die on impact. First one killed me but an easy fix. 2nd doesn't seem to effect the drops too much. Great job on the tutorial wattles, glad someone is out there doing stuff for both platforms

[@Emily_North]

Do you just use one button to replace the carpet or cover the whole surface? I've tried a few different suggestions and it's still very slow with tons of spiders spawning

[@extra_dice]

I had issues with creepers. At first I thought I as using it wrong, but nope, the creepers can actually see you if you get too close. I put slabs on top of the hoppers and trapdoors where the slabs are and it works much better. It's harder for the creepers to see you and when they do blow up the slab stops them from destroying too much. Small change I'd recommend. Also if you make this change and also build the farm with a 2x2 chute instead of 3x3, the mobs can never see you at all. Might require some more modifications, but it's a solid solution

[@Complexision]

Yep a creeper blew a hole in mine a while back😂

[@debkunkel5840]

Love your tutorials for farms. Some others do ones that are so complicated, it's like, if I have all this stuff already, why do I need the farm?

[@PizzaStuf]

Holy crap this has to be the best farm ive ever built. A creeper blew up the bottom killing scection and i had trouble fixing the farm becausr mobs just krpt falling down and stopping me. I was litteraly suffering from sucess. Unlike the other non spawner farms, this one actully worked well instead of takimg half an hour per mob. It took 3 minutes, 3 MINUTES, for me to get enough mobs to semi fill the killing chamber. You are 100% the best farms youtuber ive ever watched keep up the amazing work

[@gregthistlethwaite]

In Minecraft Bedrock... 1) Add a layer of slabs on top of the roof AND a second wall on the East and West sides to make it dark during the day time. 2) Make sure all corners (roof, floor, drop area) are square and not missing corner blocks. 3) Carpets don't stop spiders spawning (nothing seems to stop them). 4) Use obsidian for the kill zone walls and floor, plus cobblestone slabs (not carpet) on top of the hoppers - that way if a creeper explodes, you don't loose your hoppers and chest with loot - you just need to replace 1 or 2 cobblestone slabs. 5) Best built over the ocean in case you fall during construction! 6) Build a bubble tower from sea level to get to height quickly. Thanks Wattles! With this modifications your design works really well.

[@themusp]

Slabs will stop the spiders from spawning I think, as they need a viable 2x2 area.

[@Da_Puff]

may i ask what you mean by second wall?

[@gregthistlethwaite]

@@Da_Puff I used cobble stone - I just made the East and West (the sides facing the sun in the morning and afternoon) two blocks thick - as well as making the top 1.5 blocks (1 block plus 1 slab - to stop spawning). The easiest way to tell the difference is to go inside the spawner, sit on the top shelf close the hole above you and see if it is dark or not - if you can see inside, then you need to make the East, West and Top walls thicker.

[@mistermoosefps6110]

I’m in bedrock and after closing the farm up I still have nothing spawning, I’ve built up and made sure it was enclosed and it is.. any tips?

[@codymiller5173]

Remember. If you build in the middle of ocean , if you use a lily pad concrete powder, you can build directly from the surface of the ocean rather than the bottom of the ocean ( placing sand)

[@TheMegaPelado]

you can leverage the kelp by placing blocks on top of it

[@JamesBrownyayaya]

Good timing, I've been considering building an XP farm over the past few days since I started my present world and this design looks excellent. This video gets added to my farming list (which includes Wattles' previous Iron Farm).

Get yourself a bunch of librarians. Disombifie them, buy from them bookshelfs, destroy them to get 3 books. Sell them back to them. You get to level 30 in a couple minutes, and get insanely emmerald rich.

[@Cantreally]

​@@stillamitchinmybook6320he's talking about The zombie Trick

[@mprinkey]

Nice design, but I think you don't need to build this high, at least not over an ocean. Ocean level is y=63 and the despawn radius is 128. So building at y=192 would be adequate. Building higher will just reduce your rates. If you are building over land, you really only need to be 128 blocks higher than the highest spot in the area. Also, building this over a desert will give you far fewer zombies and thus more skeletons and creepers.

[@wattlesplays]

all great points thank u 🫡

[@mastertip2]

The mod miniHUD gives you the ability to create despawn spheres. It realy helped me with my farm builds.

[@HyperS13]

Fewer zombies but more Husks, so I think the rates are relatively the same if you group husks and zombie loot tables together. Also I guess this means there's an upper limit on the amount of layers you can add because anything beyond 128 won't spawn mobs (my math guesstimate is about 30 layers as the limit).

[@graehart]

​@HyperS13 in deserts when the game wants to spawn a husk has a higher chance to be picked than a zombie so when it picks a mob it will be husk but husk cannot spawn with blocks above their heads. That's why you don't find many in desert biome caves unless they wander. You will get significantly less zombie/husk drops by building in a desert.

[@HyperS13]

I built this today in Bedrock. Works great. I'm not sure what I did wrong but trying to get the skeletons to kill the creepers just made them explode. I tried hiding from view immediately, but no luck. Kaboom! Several times. So I modified the base to make it more like a regular mob farm with water carrying the mobs down away from the base of the column and over to a better spot to take the mobs out. Added bonus... Any exploding creepers did no damage now that they were in water. Also worked great for collecting music discs.

[@Daryk.]

For a better updated version, do the following: 1. Place slabs over all the hoppers. (XP doesnt get stuck, and loot goes through the slabs into the hoppers) 2. Remove the slabs around the bottom pieces (not the hoppers) so that theres a small area to hit them. 3. Build a small enclosed room around one side to prevent phantom attacks, and light it up with torches to prevent mob spawning. Also if some mobs are too far and you cant reach them, go up to the wall, and crouch for a second, you'll be on a level they can see you for just a second, they will come to you so you can hit them, but don't worry, if you only click if for a second, the creepers wont blow up.

I will give a rundown of this farm since people seem confused. This farm 100℅ works. But its very, very slow. Id say that it is unworthy to build because of how often mobs spawn. If youre on bedrock, the carpet doesnt stop spiders from spawning. Also, fill corners of where you kill the mobs at. Doing so will prevent creepers from blowing up. Id recommend finding a different farm because this one is quite honestly just not really good. Cheers

I have just finish it in my Survival world and it works awsome, i did 3 layers and i think those are more than enough for what i need now, for sure in the future if needed i can add more layers😁

[@teo11300]

isn't the top platform beyond the spawn radius though? So no mobs are going to fall down if you wait at the bottom...?

[@zeyy84]

There are no trapdoors at the edges to trick the mobs into thinking that the opened trapdoors are solid blocks

[@EveScrewedMeOver]

Holy crap dude. You have made the best mob farm to ever be created. The customization is crazy! And the farm is effective, too. Not only that, but you get crazy xp and drops! Thank you for blessing the Minecraft community with this video/grinder.

[@Ocho_TB]

I tried this but for some reason it takes forever for mobs to spawn

Same, I afked for 20 minutes and nothing spawned

When I built this, This video was posted 8 months ago. I thought that it was outdated but works amazing! Thank you wattles

[@Boyhobby17]

Didn’t work for me 🥺

[@Siddharth-pn7kj]

@@Boyhobby17 I think you did something wrong

[@somebody7914]

Does anyone know why my farm isn’t working for me? Here is some information: Im playing on Bedrock Edition, It is pitch black in the farm, I’m 150+ blocks above the ocean, my platforms are made of planks, game mode is hard, and I made the farm exactly as told. Edit: also, the walls are made of deepslate.

[@shamelessnerd]

I’m in this exact situation. Just isn’t spawning anything. Not sure why.

[@ImJames9017]

YOOOO THIS IS ACTUALLY FIRE i built 5 layers and it works so well ONE TIP if your building this above land you have to torch up some spots or the mobs are gonna spawn under so yea

[@pickletribeleadr]

Mine is not working and idk what I did wrong

[@2knackers]

River biome

[@Queenwolfaj]

For people struggling with mob spawns after the last update, it does still spawn mobs if you wait long enough, but as of now it’s not nearly as effective as it used to be. It does help if you switch to hard difficulty cause you get a few extra mob spawns. We’ll just have to wait and see if a more effective design for mob spawns comes out soon!

[@finlayknights8247]

So I’ve built this but I’m not having any mobs spawn? Does there have to be a specific height to it? I’m at y-138

[@marcw6875]

I built this recently and it works great. I was already enjoying it for the purpose of quickly getting a few levels to do some more enchants, but today I really appreciated it because I stupidly fell in the lake of lava in the nether. It took maybe a couple of hours, but I have replaced pretty much all of my enchanted gear. In some cases, the replacements may even be a little better than the ones I lost. When it first happened, I was really tempted to delete the world to free myself from the game for a while, but then I decided to see how fast the xp farm could get me back in business. lol

[@Tudor-t4b]

did this and nothing spawned

[@RIP_ZYZZ1738]

You definitely made it wrong. It works great. Make sure to also put slabs on the top of it. Be in the middle of the ocean just to be sure

[@BusschLatte]

Did you get it to work? I built this exactly like the video and nothing spawned. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Phillip_Duck]

Using different types of layers in the same farm to change the amounts of the different mobs you get is such a cool idea!

[@isaacy1996]

garbage farm spawns like 4 mobs each 3 minutes don’t built it

[@eloisatesoro9606]

Idk bro i built it and i got so many mobs Did you build it in a server?

[@Dust2LivingSoil]

I think a lot of us are having the same issue where it’s not working and the big thing is light leaking so a lot of items in the game actually leak light through them and strategies often used to keep mobs from spawning could actually be letting light in. Like half slabs or pistons or trapdoors. I’m going to replace all the half slabs on top of my farm with full blocks and then put a slab on top of the full block this will keep mobs from spawning but not allow light to go through. A few other things to consider is your chunk simulation distance the difficulty and the actual block location that you AFK on definitely makes a difference

[@Xcaliber237]

Mine still ain’t working 😭

[@ytaloAzvd21]

thanks for wasting my time

[@Rain_Gauge]

You should state (along with your reccomended 4 layers) the maximum amount of layers you can build up to the 320 Y build limit. Since the build limit caps you instead of how many layers you want to build. Great design and video! 🔥🗿🔥

[@wrtltable]

This farm is based on mobs wandering around so they fall off platforms. mobs only wander around 35 blocks away from the player, beyond that they just stand there. There is no point in making more platforms. The more platforms there are, the less efficient this already inefficient farm becomes.

[@meberggg4619]

Flawless tutorial never had to rewind or anything. Thanks!!

[@hearmeow9878]

this is awesome, for an XP farm, i went from thinking enderman grinders were good, to spider spawners, now to this. No need for spawners, great for early game

[@Danny-2748]

This farm is the first out of many i've built that has worked well. I'm getting insane spawn rates, granted i made 5 layers but still so worth it.

[@hackerbaguette]

if you place trapdoors around the hoppers, slabs ON the hoppers (instead of carpet) and trapdoors where the slabs should be, creepers (and other mobs) won't see you at all unless you crouch.

[@Dust2LivingSoil]

If you put top slabs around the viewing hole and put campfires on top of the Poppers and then diffuse them with a shovel you’ll get a perfect viewing sized window to not be bothered

[@legowelt0809]

Great tutorial and a nice design. Sadly i thought this would output a bit more mobs.. but at least it didnt take too long and to start off with its decent. (I did add about 10 layers)

[@benhof2140]

It’s so tempting to dive while building this!

[@marquez1745]

It works so well! I also built 3 layers and i get so many xp and loot, I started this 1.21 world yesterday so I will make the farm even bigger when I get the materials

[@Trieds]

still works?

[@Wooflesss]

Great farm - I built 5 layers and it was very efficient!

[@a2aular]

Using 1.20 Bedrock edition here and the farm works, however, carpet isn't preventing the spiders from spawning and trapdoors on the top of the layers isn't restricting it to creepers only - I'm getting skellies, zombies, spiders, and creepers and it's configured to creeper-only according to the recorded guide.

[@milkykai]

i think in bedrock buttons prevent spiders but search it up just in case

[@JoshuaAjr]

I was trying to build this because I needed this to get enchants onto everything. And this is very helpful for this.

[@alexisw8662]

def wanna try this one!! it seems a lot simpler than the other mob farms i’ve tried

[@honeybadger036]

The best mob spawners I've ever seen or built make use of Scaffolding on the spawn platforms. Because mobs can spawn in scaffolding but water has to flow over the top, it means that the instant the mobs spawn, they are flushed off the spawning platform. No redstone and more efficient than the redstone flushing types.

[@dying2survive298]

Unfortunately, that was a bug so it no longer works. Scaffolding was not meant to be a spawnable block. It was patched in one of the 1.19 updates.

[@honeybadger036]

I can confirm on Bedrock edition it does still work, I just built it and tested it. 👍Mobs might not be able to spawn on it, but they definitely can still spawn in it.@@dying2survive298

[@aalicat1985]

Thank you so much! This farm is working out so much better than a different one I built (wasn’t as high).

[@jamesistooloud2669]

I built this, it's only OK. The design is not great for AFK, as the funnel is too large, and if you stand too close creepers will see you. If you go for drops and lay out fires as recommended, you will end up with a chamber full of witches. I've modified it with some water streams on a redstone clock to funnel the mobs to a central killing area.

[@boobertthefoolish3309]

soul campfires kills witches, dont use normal campfires 👍
