I just realized how high in the world that zombie spawner generated at. That's crazy! You don't typically find them that high up! Definitely a rare find!

[@TheGamingspy1]

the carpets reduce the drop damage. change it with a slab and they should be one hit

[@smelltheashes]

So glad to see bedrock players making KZbin videos. The guides are so helpful for me.

[@Aggrosk8]

03:44 sad silverfish spawner noises

[@stogna5304]

Sad trial spawners

[@Prowl8413]

They aren't real spawners, they are blocks to be broken :p

[@shatterst0rm380]

​​@@Prowl8413Couldn't agree more. Silverfish spawners aren't worth keeping. They are in an awkward spot. Silverfish have no drops and infest blocks, making the blocks only harvestable with silk touch.

[@playmusic8056]

Could be useful if prowl wanted to prank bluejay. Otherwise, yeah they are just blocks that give decent xp.

[@MinecraftAdmin-in3yv]

Maybe you need to use slab to make it haft hart

[@Leonardo-cw1dd]

you forgot to mention silver fish spawners that are in strongholds at 3:45

[@johnmorris8621]

and the Minecraft police should be more relaxed about destroying them😀

[@blazeknightmc]

prowl me and my 200 dogs in my survival world are waiting for creeper farm video

[@enderman6125]

I think blujay made one and also jc playz

[@LuckySecond]

I’ve been using the latest version of prowl’s general mob farm to great success even in 1.21. Not even a difficult build either.

[@Prowl8413]

Ill be working on it soon!

[@LuckySecond]

I like how Prowl has set up an opportunity to show how you a set things up in stages. He can always go back to show setting up a trident killer and storage system on spawner farms.

[@shatterst0rm380]

This is early game. I feel if you're going to put that much effort into it, just build a better mob farm.

[@markrwc6185]

Another great video Prowl! When making water source blocks for elevators I have found it faster to place the first piece of kelp and then bone meal it.

[@jameshall6071]

Omg why did I never think of this

[@Prowl8413]

That's a great idea!

[@nrdedan]

​@@Prowl8413 did you know that kelp growth is always random but if you break the top piece of kelp once it stops you can keep using bonemeal?

[@Kozo420]

Amazing, just brilliant!

[@xxmln0taurxx78]

Try a slab to see if that works on that drop distance for the zombies. I’m very curious to see if that would bring them down to the one hit mark. Let me know if you try it and if it works. Great content as always Prowl. Keep up the great work.

[@malachisanford2314]

Huh, I've got an addon that lets me pick up spawners. Ive been wondering the most efficient way to make a spawner farm. I can choose what kind of spawner it is, so i dont know how many spawners to use before it starts to lose efficiency

[@douggiles7647]

If the Wiki is correct then the design still needs some tweaks. Like it will only spawn up to 4 mobs at once before waiting 10-39~ seconds before spawning up to another 4, so dropping them out doesn't really matter as long as they don't congregate. Also it says that Java checks in a 9×9×9 area centered in the spawner and that Bedrock checks in a 16×10×16 area centered on the lower northwest corner of the spawner, so you got the horizontal right but not the vertical, so you'll need to go a block or so deeper to achieve the goal you said.

[@Prowl8413]

Something must have changed since I last did one, although, if you go the 7 blocks down, you still have them outside of the detection range, especially if you consider that you drop them another 2 blocks down after several seconds.

[@douggiles7647]

@@Prowl8413 It's always possible that the Wiki is wrong too, since it's written by people in the community, just thought it was worth pointing out and maybe doing some testing. It could also be older information that just hasn't been updated since they're always making small changes towards parity between versions.

[@markgriffiths1033]

Few extras you can add: Zombie villager curing: Install Pistons with a button you can hit to push zombie villagers out of the kill chamber to send them to curing Station. You need 1 set of two pistons to retract one wall (this is where they drop into another water stream) then a second set that activates on a slight delay to push them out of the kill chamber. Use water streams to send them to a holding area, water push them into a corner, then pick them out one at a time in minecarts from dispenser to send them to multi-cure. Obsidian in your kill chamber so you can spam your mending pickaxe without accidentally breaking blocks. You can also centralise your second water stream in the spawn chamber by digging your channel right in the middle of your 9x9 and putting open fence gates above, then you can put water streams either side and theres no janky area where mobs can bunch up 😊

[@Justsammie90]

Love that you make sure to explain it so well I understand it the first time 🎉

[@alexanderlane7863]

I started a new world with the release of 1.21 at the same time you started this guide and it's such a fun series to follow along with. Will you turn this spawner into a trading hall? I would also love if you added building tips as you go, even stuff like your tent/base camp and cave entrance. At the moment for me building a house is a bit hard but I can manage a water well or cave entrance.

[@Summit900]

You can put a fence on top of a chest and it will still open. When ever I make a kill box, I make it in an L or backwards L shape. Its 1 block deep and 5 or 6 block wide. The L part is where they drop and then they move out in the 1 block deep area. The front is fenced so mini zombies can't jump it. I put hoppers down along the whole length and carpet on top with the chest under the fence in the floor. I then put a gate at the opposite end of the drop so that I can separate zombie villagers from the regular zombies. I make my trading halls right next to it so I can keep curing zombie villagers and get buys I want at a discount. I'll make a little diagram as best I can. O=hoppers with carpet on top, = equals fence, X=solid block. XXXXXXXX XOXXXXXX XOOOOOXX ========

[@Summit900]

I also make sure to have 1 or 2 clerics so that I can sell the rotten flesh to.

[@joeward1997]

I always forget there is soul sand in the ancient city under the portal or in some of the other structures as well if you dont want to go to the nether or you cant find a soul sand valley. Probably not the easiest place for a beginner world but may be easier for some

[@josephsackett4535]

Ancient city can be easy, if you don't mind dying many times. Place a chest and a bed a few dozen blocks away from the ancient city, and set the bed as your spawn point. Drop all your stuff in the chest, and then clear out the shriekers by hand.

[@rwillmottrw]

Noooo the spawner didn't generate in my world 😭😭 lol goin on a hunt for one .keep up the amazing work buddy loving it

[@kaptainkarnage69]

I think they are using a trimmed world so some chunks are from 1.21 and others are older. It will mean things don't spawn the same.

[@Prowl8413]

Maybe its because this world was generated in 1.20? Only thing I can think of.

[@rwillmottrw]

@Prowl8413 still building along and loving it

[@Guntongue87]

Here it is finally. The video I've been waiting for, since the last one.

[@BoomMC_Inc]

29:45 half slab?

[@xxmln0taurxx78]

I’m thinking the same thing. ROFL

[@carloparedes3982]

i think a bottom half slab makes a difference, i always use one for a 21block drop and it always gets them to one shot each plus it stops baby zombies from escaping

[@Prowl8413]

Ill have to give it a try

[@nrdedan]

​@@Prowl8413 I have a better drop design that is super easy if you'd like to check it out. No nether needed. Please share it with EVERYONE

[@BoomMC_Inc]

15:28 you forgot the corners!

[@Prowl8413]

No I didn't!

[@KiwiNZ07]

The 'Essentials' ADD ON allows you to silk touch spawners and combine them with others to make a great XP farm.

[@RyanCerrati]

That’s called creative

[@KiwiNZ07]

@@RyanCerrati No, this is in survival 😊. It doesn't cost alot. Under $5.00

[@DragonRose81]

Could you please do an updated debris mining guide on what the the most effective method to use is and what biome of the nether is best to mine in

[@Prowl8413]

I will soon enough :)

[@kayseeewing3007]

Holy crap this is the best video explaining that Ihave EVER seen! Great work, Prowl!!! Thank you!!!!

[@BoomMC_Inc]

5:08 breaking will be severely punished

[@Prowl8413]

SEVERELY!

[@josephsackett4535]

I'm considering adapting this for Strays, which are skeletons that have been in powder snow for 22+ seconds. They would have to be converted before they hit the ground, or the drop becomes pointless. I don't think they are in any zone long enough, so my current thought is to push the stray up 4 extra blocks then drop through 1 powdered snow, 1 cobweb, another powdered snow, and another cobweb.

[@kaptainkarnage69]

I have totally misunderstood how far the mobs need to go to get out of the mob cap so I've been dropping them 19 blocks below the spawner 🤦‍♂️ 16 block range + 2 for mob height + 1 for swimming/jumping

[@johna1367]

Thanks for the vid and description Prowl! I used this to create on nearish my base in my realm. Another member had made a normal XP farm for all mobs. This one is closer, but is a skeleton farm based off of the spawner. I only managed to fall to my demise 3 times while making it oops... My weakness spatial awareness while high up vs quick math for yours lol. Ty again!!!

[@chriskachadoorian5200]

I just became the coolest Grandma ever! I followed the video and made a zombie xp farm and my grandson is having a blast with it! Thanks for your ez to follow video!! 😊

[@allensutton5390]

So early days and you think it is a good idea for new players to go to the Nether! I would think not and just manually kill the mobs or drop them down a hole just going down. Yeah you are confident BUT I bet there are a lot of early gamers that are not.

[@smethane]

Its not that bad, you just need a single piece of soulsand. If your portal spawns you in a soulsand valley then pop through, grab it and leave. If not, just dig a staircase down and strip mine until you find a piece. Just be careful of lava pockets. Lava in the nether flows similarly to water. Also if you're dropping the zombies straight down then you wont be in range to activate the spawner

[@allensutton5390]

@@smethane IF !

[@jellezwaag]

haha, classic minecraft, going to the nether for 1 piece of soulsand and ending up tunneling through miles of basalt delta. I am feeling you man ❤😂.

[@tasha8102]

Love these vids…learned a lot about building spawn farm in 1.20. Built my first farms using these methods in my long term world.

[@mack1852]

Another awesome episode!!! Can't wait to see how it will look when its finished. Next episode let's gooooo!!! great job prowl ur awesome!!!

[@Sweet0ne-87]

Mobs with armor on will not take as much damage. Thats why the one took more swings of the sword to kill then when you dropped them farther, ones without armor died instantly.

[@DaniHoskins]

I’m so thankful for this vid. It’s so hard to find easy decent bedrock farms

[@DaniHoskins]

For me atleast and I’ve only been playing bedrock on and off since 2012 😂

[@shatterst0rm380]

You forgot about silverfish spawners. Always break those. They aren't worth farming and are pests.

[@playmusic8056]

Best spawner to base an iron farm trading hall around. Assuming they still give you discounts when a zombie villager spawns.

[@paullavoie5542]

I just found another amythst geode, but it's so far away from my place it's pretty much useless. What's nice is the one I use is right next to my skelly spawner.

[@carlojansevanrensburg6343]

Hi there I have a unrelated question.items keep skipping past my single item filters I am on bedrock and it has been happening a lot more do you maby know why and how to fix it

[@MaMaTArtlife]

In Trial Chamber, you can find a baby zombie spawner. I ran into one a few days ago, I've never seen one till the trial chamber. I am sure they are special for the T/C. However, needed to share that with someone.

[@SwagDonkeyMc]

If you convert those ominous babies into drowned, you can farm their armor that has trims. Happy hunting =)

[@MaMaTArtlife]

@@SwagDonkeyMc I've been trying to, haven't got Ny armor from them yet

[@Witchaven]

You can actually get the soul sand for the bubble column without going to the nether. There is soul sand in the ancient city. In the central section where you see the soul fires burning.

[@carolfsanisme]

Hey prowl! I found one of these in my realms and was trying to convert them into drowned but it didn't work. Any ideas on how to do it?

[@teddomain9955]

I like the idea of dropping them down out of range. Wonder if you could turn this into a iron farm/trading hall as well?

[@Smokey_da_Bear]

All those seeds can make bone meal which can make bone blocks once you have enough to fast grow things.

[@matthewpeters9944]

I kinda was looking forward to a zombie Cure and Iron Farm discount build

[@JAZZ_PLAYING308]

What does Minecraft police do do they drop something or ??

[@matthewconway8751]

Prowl what about if with the zombie spawner if you put a half slab on the hopper and that should take them to half a heart

[@hocuspocus720]

Are the caps and distance the same for every mob?

Just had chance to finish watching this. Appreciate your descriptive style as it always covers all the important considerations of playing and building in MC. Have lots of children distraction happening and it's good to get the details layed out. The most useful tool I have is a calculator and a workable knowledge of trigonometry due to span distance chunk loading and mob count. Would be nice to get chunk borders in Bedrock

[@milohobo9186]

Comment to boost you in the algorithm. Bonus fact: there is one additional spawner in the overworld. Silverfish. But feel free to destroy those. No one wants those anyways.
