Java Creeper Farms NOW WORK On Bedrock (With Modifications) | Minecraft 1.21 Preview Testing

Curious if this farm works on Bedrock Edition like it did in Hermitcraft Season 10? Lets build it, and take a look to see if it works the same, or at all on Bedrock Edition!

[@WaynesWorld69]

Very impressive. Have not really been a creeper farm fan but these new mechanics may have me building one after the update. Well done on the redo!

[@S1LV3RF0X78]

Great update to the previous video! Nice to see a little more parity between the two editions coming… Not sure if it’s something that I would consider building but it’s great information in the functionality of the game and how it can be done!

[@toyonrocks]

I copied this. Made a double. Nothing but respect and I thank you for the effort put in to making it the most efficient and productive farm in Bedrock! But I was going nuts with spider spawns. Kept losing golem to spiders and getting into the mob spawner for repairs is annoying. But, if you use all buttons on the ground the spiders are basically non existent! 100% creeper spawns! I tried trap doors and carpets. Nope! Spiders. Checker board buttons! Perfect.

[@jgraygaming225]

This comment will save my farm!

[@ToxicTurtle09]

Dude I absolutely love this video! I love the effort you pit into this and will fs be building this in my world, I built wattles farm and its decent but this is definitely better! Thanks

Great troubleshooting !! We love to see some love for bedrock 😅. A full tutorial would be appreciated when you figure out all the nitty gritty details

[@skinime5253]

This is such a funny series of videos. It doesn’t work! It might work but maybe not! It works! Thank you for making these, super helpful to understand the newest changes!

[@Jimbobfred84]

So I have a question. Could you not still use your creeper farm that you released a month or 2 ago and maybe make it a checkerboard pattern like you have in this scaffolding then maybe trapdoor or fence? Then have a waterstream on every row?

[@stefanrusek2322]

Great video! If they did mob spawn parity, they'd also have to fix the looting bug to make the farms work sinilarly. That would nerf trident killers to the point that you would get the same results with campfires (like on java). Would you be cool with losing trident killers even if your farms were more productive?

[@Markus117d]

I wouldn't, because bedrock doesn't have the off hand yet, Doesn't do much good to have the same spawn mechanics if you have to kill the mobs with a shovel in order to repair it lol...

[@buzzingsniper38]

Im gonna hate to have to change all my farms but also gonna love this change cause it's going to make it so much better etc and open more options

[@Jeannie649]

It s a good farm. I rather build your general mob farm cause i also want the arrows and bones. In a multiplayer world it would be a definite.

[@user-yl7yv4gy8k]

After a while having a specific gunpowder farm becomes a very good idea, specially with several other useful farms producing bones, string and arrows

[@iMinecraft360Edition]

I have this farm on Minecraft bedrock with 10 levels of spawning areas and it’s above sea level so spawns are isolated into the farm, but I do not get good rates at all. Changed carpet to checker board pattern buttons and it did not make a difference.

[@pkinney1a]

Hey Prowl, I was thinking about this and wanted to share. If you're using a trident killer on the farm, why are we still dropping them as well? Wouldn't it kill them off faster if the trident killer was directly underneath the tower of spawn platforms and thus increase rates a tad? When I've gone with this method I like to use a dropper underneath the killer to drop the mob drops down to the AFK platform.

[@ruse_d_news]

Dropping them takes them out of the spawning radius. But if you still put the afk spot where he said to and put them slightly out of the spawning radius. It should still work.

[@pkinney1a]

@@ruse_d_news That makes sense!

[@user-hq5jj2qk3e]

I went back to the video, and it was very informative on how spawns and such work on bedrock thank you. Do you know by chance a way to get god armor on bedrock?

[@FuriousGuy1234]

Thank you so much

[@Lotus77777]

The creeper farm with cats (Chapman farm) may be more effective. Edit: The gnembon mob farm (with slabs) would also likely be more effective

[@Pachooch]

bro, i need a full tutorial of that farm optimized

[@AyaanThe0ne]

Hey Prowl! Why is the trident killer have such a long tube on the way down? Don't you want a short trasmission between the spawn of the creeper and the trident? So the trident killer should be more further up and since Impaling V (with water) one shots a creeper anyway, fall damage really isnt needed. 17:40 I guess my question was answered haha

[@AenimalCannibal985]

Hi Prowl! I have a couple of question. First of all, do we know for certain that these spawning mechanic changes will make it to the update or is it just kind a of "what if we did this.." thing? Second question, could I, theoretically, build this farm tonight in my survival world and when the update hits, it just magically starts working? Thank you for your hard work in these videos; if you keep them coming, I'll keep watching.

[@Prowl8413]

We can be fairly sure they will... but I wouldn't be so sure that I start making changes to my world plans yet.

[@AenimalCannibal985]

@@Prowl8413 honestly, the aesthetic of the four-quadrant version hanging above the bay in my world would make it worth it, alone. There's never any plans in my world; I just build what my kids and I decide would look really neat and add to the vibe. We made Wattles's general mob farm from his current guide series but instead of a dungeon looking box, it's a Rubik's cube (doesn't fit any other build style but is fun to have)

[@banquack]

im pretty sure in java theres a check if there is a mob there and then if there is one it wont spawn one there but on bedrock dont think that exists

[@burttoast6954]

Built this with the trapdoors instead of pressure plates and i still have spiders spawning in. Any help for getting those pesky silk slingers out of the farm would be greatly appreciated

[@sweet_psycho_]

Hey it's me again. I was wondering does this give xp too? And do you have to use the Trident to kill the creepers 😊

[@SJKriptic]

A small thought i had watching this and i didn't see you address it. Did you factor in the damage the creeper receives from the snow golem before the drop (i would assume the creeper is hit more than once). Some creepers may not actually be getting killed by the tridents.

[@Prowl8413]

Snowballs don't do any damage :)

[@indenial85]

Can snow golems still agro mobs through mine cart chests but not shoot through them? I remember doing a slim farm like that a while ago.

[@Prowl8413]

Once they lock on to a mob in their range, they will stay locked on that mob until it is outside of their range.

[@americanmade175]

In Java when you're out and about at night there's barely any mobs anywhere, how is it when you build a farm they suddenly begin to flood in?

[@Prowl8413]

Mobs in Java start spawning at the bottom of the world, and work their way up to surface, so most of the mobs end up being underground.

[@JasonTaylor-po5xc]

I think I still prefer a general mob farm on bedrock. I normally start with a simple, manual farm before saving up the resources for the real deal with the scaffolding and water. But, I think it is good to test Java-based farms on Bedrock to see what kind of issues we may encounter since most YTer are Java players.

[@user-yl7yv4gy8k]

I think a ghast farm is still more efficient but definitely less easy to build

[@jeffscott5684]

HELP!!! I started building this, I've got one tower complete, but I am getting NO creeper spawns. An occasional spider AFK is at Y241. it's above an ocean monument where I built my guardian farm, so no guardians are able to spawn. I have walls of tinted glass. Roof is also all tinted glass. My only difference is trapdoor placement. I have it every other block. The pattern in the video wasn't working in testing. Got a bunch of spiders. I checked the spawning radious with the armor stand addon and my platforms are above the green and below the red. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Monument messing it up? I thought oceans were good biomes for creepers.

[@knulllord654]

Are they not even spawning or they are not getting down? If they aren't spawning then, I think, the guardians are taking up the mob cap.

[@Domarnett]

I think the reason that they don’t make mobs spawn in faster on bedrock is because my son still plays on an iPad 4 mini, and his bestie plays on a switch. Neither of these have the oomph to handle Java spawning rates. Maybe they could up it a little and also bump the drop rates to get us closer… love the follow up though. 😜🎉🤪

[@FloppyBeefCurtains]

My xbox one could never handle it. I built a farm out of 3 spider spawners that are just close enough to work all together and afk. I left for like 6-7 minutes and came back just to find out i didnt turn on the trident killer. My character couldnt move at all because the lag was so bad. Id say as a rough guess, there were about 400 spiders jammed up. 250 realistically would produce the same result. It would definitely break our games.

[@abodxwxg0265]

Can you share this with the world because I did not fully understand the explanation

[@yumiko6653]

I need help. I cannot eliminate spider spawning whatsoever. There's about 6 spiders that are constantly getting stuck in the drop down. I've gone through the farm multiple times and don't see spots where spiders could spawn.

[@hellsarmada2026]

THIS FARM DOES WORK ALREADY IN BEDROCK CURENTLY BUT IM ALSO HAVINNG the same problem

[@Angrymanager601]

Now if only we can get iron farms like on Java that'd be great

[@codyforeman153]

Hey @ prowl8413 i am haveing trouble with this creeper farm design because i built it exactly how you show with the modifications and i get nowhere even close to what you got plus my snowgolems keep dieing

[@thepatriotickafir8859]

Does creeper farms produce more gunpowder than similar size general mob farm. I tested this and found its produced almost similar amount of gunpowder in both farms. So i think creeper farm is just waste of trapdoors.

[@Prowl8413]

If you watched the video, with 1 creeper farm at simulation distance 4, I could produce about 2500 gunpowder per hour. A general mob farm in Sim 4 will only produce about 800 gunpowder

[@vip3rop]

So the farms we will build in 1.21 will be more efficient then our current farms ?

[@dartagnanmcdermid822]

Do cats block mob spawns? Cuz that would be an easy way to get the creeper to move Also what if you just destroyed the trap door and have an "air block" so that creepers dont have to walk that far

[@Prowl8413]

Cat scare range is very short on Bedrock, about 4 blocks... very inefficient for the huge headache it is getting them into position.

[@vishwadewan8546]

Rates?

are we able to use this farm yet? or are the mechanics still in the works?

[@hellsarmada2026]

@@Prowl8413 this farm is currently working on bedrock not as is but all you need to change is the trapdoors on the floor to slabs and then make sure the walls are made of a solid block to prevent the spiders from spawning. Other than that i built this basically identical. rates aren't the same but for where i have it its a passive farm.

[@dstaron3162]

👍👍👍

[@vnms-]

I can’t stop spiders from spawning. I’ve tried carpet and trapdoors in a bunch of different configuration but they keep spawning and killing the golems. Edit: just tried slabs and glass and they still spawn???

[@Zogg1281]

I'm so pleased that Mojang are FINALLY trying to get at least some semblance of parity with the way mobs spawn on Bedrock/Java....... now for doing something about those rates because they are making life a LOT harder for us Bedrock players. As for the farm tweaks, I think I can see another way to add more spawning spaces and that's to do with the outside edge of the quad farm. I'm actually thinking of putting another 4 trident shoots at the middle point of the outside edges, just so that where the farm currently bumps in, it would actually bump out and try to fit more into the mob spawning sphere. I'll have to have a go and see if my pc will just about handle running minecraft with that armour stand helper tool and see what I can come up with. This is really exciting being among the first people who will be designing mob farms with the new mechanics of something soooo simple as changing the location that a mob spawns. So cool!! Thanks for the farm revisit Prowl..... maybe you can build some other Java farms that just don't work on Bedrock so that Mojang can fix them less then a week later?!?!?!? 😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@reiverdeagua267]

In Java, the limit of mobs is 70 per person, Bedrock it is much less

[@RumTherapy100]

The roof on this farm should be solid blocks, and the farm should be in an ice spikes or frozen ocean biome. Solid roof so that the mobs in the farm are cave spawns. The cave spawn cap is much higher than the surface spawn cap, so with a solid roof you'd get more creepers in your farm simultaneously. And frozen ocean or ice spikes because skeletons don't attempt spawn in caves in those biomes, so you will only be blocking the spawn attempts of spiders and zombies. Less failed attempts means higher output.
