Just built this in PC version 1.8.3, and after a few tweaks to the design as depicted here it's working great. A couple of notes if anyone is doing the same: - Like others we had the redstone issue where the front two pistons worked as expected, but the other three would go down but not back up. I added three more repeaters, one at the end of each branch of the circuit to the other pistons, after that all of the pistons would behave as expected. - We opted for the water elevator and drop instead of the crusher design for the delivery mechanism. With the water elevator built as depicted in the video, the skeletons would not 'swim' up the elevator and would just drown at the bottom. Leaving the signs at the bottom in place same as the video, we put a sign every other block on the way up instead of a single sign at the halfway point. After that, the skeletons would swim up the elevator as expected. Our spawner was visible above ground, just inside a small cave in a taiga biome. We dug out what we needed to build the spawner room and elevator/drop shafts, then when we were sure the whole thing was working, we bricked up most of the workings and relaid dirt over the top, so only the top 7/8ths of the shaft is visible above ground and the 'harvesting' area is accessible by a tunnel built over from a nearby hidey hole. The top of the tower makes for a nice landmark from a distance. :) Thanks for the inspiration!
+Sokar the wiki says that version 14w26c (released as part of 1.8) changed the spawn point to become centered on the spawner block. The area is still the same but it is now properly centered, meaning they spawn in an area of 9x9 blocks. minecraft.gamepedia.com/Monster_Spawner -> "Mechanics" and "History" sections.
"A monster spawner is only active when a player is within a radius of 16 blocks from the spawner. While the block is active, it will spawn mobs within an 8×3×8 block volume (8 wide, 8 long, and 3 high) centered on the center of the block, effectively meaning mobs can spawn in a 9×9 area, or 3.5 blocks from the spawner. Mobs can spawn anywhere in this range that is suitable, with mobs more likely to spawn closer to the spawner than farther away." This is what it says, and what it says is that everything is as its always been. The thing is, the reason why its this weird way, is because of the way orientation works in the game. Just like how some redstone contraptions back in the day only worked, if aligned a certain way. Its saying, that if you look at the very center of the cages. not the cage itself, and make a 8x8x3 box around it, that would translate to a 9x9x3.5 blocks in the game world. However becomes of the alignment, this gets shifted in directions mentioned. So in the game you get what is said in the video. Its confusion as well, and bad game design in my opinion. If I were to make a spawner now, the only way I'd bother trying to figure directions and do the 8x8 room, is because it is easier to do lighting for. With lamps this is no longer the case, so in todays game, I'd just go 9x9, simply because its easier to deal with :) I will note though, that escape area (as I call it in my cage science video) appear to have changed from 17x17x9 (the area of which the mobs has to leave, in order to prevent the cage from capping after 6 monsters), to 9x9x9. This means that making spawners with cages has become a lot more space efficient :)
That's a beautiful circuit, man. I've seen other people do this but the redstone circuits they made all looked incredibly complicated and clunky! Great job.
This is the most detailed and helpful tutorial I've seen on TH-cam covering mob crushing using a spawner. Thank you very much! Can't wait to build one myself! :D
Somehow got insanely lucky and had two skeleton spawners within 12 blocks of each other and used this trap to make a perfect and continous death trap. Works like a charm, Thanks, will be subscribing.
Replacing the pistons with redstone lamps did the trick! In order to not mess up the original design too much I replaced the repeater at the top with a comparator and had to use extra repeaters to keep the current strong enough to reach all the lamps. I had to place 3 blocks above the mob funnel inside to cover up the extra wiring and haven't seen any noticeable drop in spawning rates.
Hey, whats up man? I just wanted to say that I tried this build out in survival and it came out amazing. At first I had a few problems with some of my pistons not retracting after going down (with the light system) but after a few tweak I got it to work perfectly. The spawning times are great and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Great job, dude. Btw, that light system is pretty damn genius lol. Thanks, again!
Love this farm! Built it many times and the only design I use when I find a skelly spawner. Just built one in my realms world, and it still works great :)
Fantastic skeleton farm, Sokar! It works great, and I`ve just finished the one with the crusher system in my LP. No more shortage on bones and arrows from now on! Nice. Thanks:)
Nice traps, I like the dropper one better than the crusher, because It doesn't cost that much material. I prefer to use water steps in the elevator btw, because the mobs won't drown in it. Anyway... nice vid :)
I built the crusher version in the smp server I'm in and it works great. Unlimited arrows and a decent XP trap until I get my blaze trap up an running. Thanks for the tutorial. :)
Best spawner tutorial I've seen. Thanks! Some questions: 1. What is your motivation for using the redstone crusher vs the gravity drop? The gravity drop seems like a much simpler setup (although less compact) and has the advantage of no "redstone lag" that many multiplayer servers experience.
Left a video response where I used this with a spider exp grinder. Great work man, I've used this or a variation so many times in the past year I can't count. :P
This works great for the crusher, but I had to substitute the piston lights for redstone lamps, as the lighting provided when the spawner was "off" wasn't sufficient to stop mobs from spawning. Redstone lamp ceiling does the trick. A shame, as I thought it might be a cost efficient way of getting a spawner going early in a server build, before you've really hit the nether. thanks for the design though!
Just a quick tip, instead of haveing the water elivator as one piece of water.. try to put signs down... like signg water, sign water sign water.. not sure if your seen other traps on youtube, or if you already have done this, but yeah.. just a tip :) i did it after finishing this one you show here. and they arrive the top much quicker :) sry for bad grammar, norwegian school, sucks :)
Well you could always download Risugami's Spawner GUI mod, he's also the one who made the mod called ModLoader, which is needed for a lot of the mdos out there. Plus if you get it from the minecraft forums then it's on the exact same page as for the ModLoader so no extra hassle. Or you could go ahead and do what the creator suggested and dig out the area around the spawner. Whichever you find easiest.
Works beautifully with zombies on 1.3.2, just made one today. Thanks so much for this tutorial! Still can't believe my luck with the enchantments I got on my first sword and bow - beginner's luck I guess.
Assuming they are getting to the tube ok, at least one block in the tube doesn't have a source block of water. You must dump a bucket of water into each block up (not just the top one). The sign in the middle allows a breath.
If, at the time of spawning, 6 or more monsters of the block's type are present within a 17 × 9 × 17 area (17 wide and 9 high and 17 deep), centered on the spawner block, the spawner "poofs" without creating any monsters and then waits for the next cycle. However, if there are more of the mob outside of the specified range, then the monster spawner will continue spawning mobs indefinitely." I got this from the wiki.
So built this, crusher still works great in 1.5.1 (using it on zombies) but 1 irritating problem is that the switch to turn the lights on/off doesn't fully work. Turning the lights OFF works fine, but the only pistons that retract when you turn them back on are the two side by side were the mobs are funneled through. I've tried repeaters and even broke and replaced the pistons but nothing works.
I re-watched the video more carefully. I now see the additional water blocks that must have been added off-screen between the transition at around 7:47. Thanks for your reply. As for #3, if you don't mind, can you elaborate on the "host of other problems" that are introduced by maximizing escape rate? I downloaded your models and plan to do some experiments. You have the best understanding/analysis of spawners that I've ever seen, so I'm very interested in your thoughts on the matter. Thanks!
you can do it without crushing em, if u add to your design u can drown them and stop them from rising as well, i would do a response but no recorder D: and my design also sends the loot back to base using only water!
Dude I made this on a server, did everything right + the light doesn't switch on/off. Also the skeletons won't go up the elevator. I didn't make it out of glass if it affects anything. Made it out of dark wood planks.
Great design and video sir! Thank you for being so thorough and explaining the game mechanics involved. With a few adjustments this always works great for me. I think anyone who is half decent at this game tweaks any build design to better suit their needs. For you guys saying it's too complicated it's not his fault you are idiots. He made visual aids explaining the game mechanics, wtf else do you want? Maybe you want someone to just come build your shit for you.
Works just fine for me in 1.4.4 :) But as far as for the Gravity drop you need to have more than just one airpocket in the elevator, For me it works best to go every other block just so they will never drowned. :)
The easiest way to kill them is with the drop method. Then hit them with a level one health splash potion. I usually get 2.5 lvl 30 enchants from a half hour of waiting. If you want to have more experience than you know what to do with, set up your home base right under the water transport path. Put your chests closest to the spawner and the drop off area on the opposite side of the room.
19:00 easyer: Get a dispenser with minecarts (use Toomanyitems or something to get 9 stacks) Minecart will pop out the dispenser and fall into a cobweb, when the minecart is done falling, it will pop ond a pressure-rail, then it falls in cactus
The distance from spawner is 9 to keep spawning, but water in that configuration will only take them 8 from the spawner. You need at least one drop I guess, not sure how skeletons deal with that.
also, the skeleton will now start shoot themself when forced into one block :) so i made a 2 block long and 23 blocks up. and i must say, the skeletons seems to spawn quicker after update... my last trap where on 1.4.7 and it was OK. but this one, the one you buildt, god damn. in 4 mins im in level 30 and ready to enchant (Y) thanks m8
You're supposed to remove the glass, he said he put the glass so that they wouldn't spawn, the area the glass was covering was the area the skeletons CAN spawn in
Alright to help people out with the spawner issue if u find a spawner but don't like where it is use the enchantment on the pick axe where u can get any block
Do the pistons up front need to be sticky? Mine just push the cobblestone (which I used in place of your iron blocks) into where they should be falling and then the stone just sits there when the piston retracts.
yes if you use a piston and you want the block to retract you have to have a sticky piston the regular piston just pushes the block the sticky one on the other had will hold the block going out and back in
I have a question to the areas of effect. You said I have to be in a circle around the spawner with a radius of 16. Now we are in 3 dimensions, does it matter? Is it a sphere around the mob spawner, or is it a cylinder? I ask it because until now I counted like when I count light levels. I build a snake from the light source to the place I am standing and the count of blocks I use is the "distance".
LOL. Squids/Octopi/whatever spawned in my drop weakener lol! Also building any of the drop mechanism out of glass is a bad idea if it goes above ground lol.
Hey Sokar, I don’t think your dead and I understand if you don’t want to continue TH-cam but could you give all of us some closer? I understand you do have a life but please tell us what is going on.
A faster way would be to use Splash Potions of Healing >_> Nether Wart --> Glistering Melon --> (Glowstone or) Gunpowder (--> Gunpowder if you chose glowstone)
yes, for mobs it would be like us always clicking "spacebar" in water they always stay above, which will mean they will go up automatically in this :) hope this helps, feel free to check out my channel!
you can make them die faster if you make them stand in a 2x2 area not a 1x1 because then there is more space for you to hit and you dont kill 1 at a time you can kill multiple at a time or atleast thats what i do for my exp farms
Before I go making one of theses could I please have the dimensions of the total space needed to make this trap? I would just build it like you have here but obviously my traps are not going to be ground level with nothing obstructing it. :)
You can do it with many mods Too many items Single player commands or - as you said World edit (if you use Too many items you will have to get a mod that allows you to change the type of mob it spawns)
2. In the minecraft wiki, the water elevator for the gravity drop trap example (/wiki/Tutorials/Monster_Spawner_Traps) uses a zig-zag pattern of water/signs. Any idea why that is done over your simpler straight-up method? Also, you didn't explain why the sign is needed midway up in your elevator.
did you make sure that all the water going up were source blocks? If they aren't then the skellies get stuck and drown. How something that doesn't breathe can drown is beyond me but hey, it's minecraft.
If you're using TMI, get single player comments, and once the spawner is placed, look directly at it and type "Spawner Skeleton" and it should spawn skeletons instead :)
Do you have to place a water source block on ever block till the top? or do you just have to make sure there is water flowing all the way from the bottom to the top

***** You are very much welcome :)
+FastFlyingVirginian Another note on recent versions is that I'm fairly sure the spawn area has been enlarged to the full 9x9.
I don't see that anywhere. Feel free to link to a source and I'll check it out :)

This is still the mob farm design I go back to whenever I find a dungeon that I want to make a farm out of. Perfect and great tutorial! ... Still ! :)
This is one of the best redstonetutorials I've ever seen. Great job!

Nice traps, I like the dropper one better than the crusher, because It doesn't cost that much material. I prefer to use water steps in the elevator btw, because the mobs won't drown in it. Anyway... nice vid :)
Just made my own rendition of this with 2 spawners that happened to be next to eachother and it works brilliantly!
I built the crusher version in the smp server I'm in and it works great. Unlimited arrows and a decent XP trap until I get my blaze trap up an running. Thanks for the tutorial. :)
Very well done tutorial! This helped me out a lot, being plain and simple, but also explaining the details. Thanks for the help!
Best spawner tutorial I've seen. Thanks!
Some questions:

Left a video response where I used this with a spider exp grinder. Great work man, I've used this or a variation so many times in the past year I can't count. :P
you should have far more views here, this is perfect. good pacing, includes the basics and leads to the difficult. 5 stars, would watch again. :P
This works great for the crusher, but I had to substitute the piston lights for redstone lamps, as the lighting provided when the spawner was "off" wasn't sufficient to stop mobs from spawning.

Thanks dude just made it on my survival map, works a treat. You sir are da boss.
Works beautifully with zombies on 1.3.2, just made one today. Thanks so much for this tutorial! Still can't believe my luck with the enchantments I got on my first sword and bow - beginner's luck I guess.
You can also use Too Many Items. incase you didn't know, it's a mod that allows you to cheat stuff into the game, or look up crafting recipes.
The timer setup is very ingenious :-)
It works like a charm in 1.3.2!! I have to thank you because I got so happy when I got it working =)
Assuming they are getting to the tube ok, at least one block in the tube doesn't have a source block of water. You must dump a bucket of water into each block up (not just the top one). The sign in the middle allows a breath.
I like the step by step style of this tutorial :-)
Even though this might not be looked at, use a health pot if you have one to just kill them all and get the same amount of loot
You are right I had it one to short, works like a dream now thank you very much :)
Dude I will give it a shot as soon as I can thanks for the tut man.
If, at the time of spawning, 6 or more monsters of the block's type are present within a 17 × 9 × 17 area (17 wide and 9 high and 17 deep), centered on the spawner block, the spawner "poofs" without creating any monsters and then waits for the next cycle. However, if there are more of the mob outside of the specified range, then the monster spawner will continue spawning mobs indefinitely." I got this from the wiki.
In your crusher setup have the skelies fall onto a half slab or fence so they dont take damage and should all be 1 hit kills :-)
Excellent tutorial. Good job, Sokar!
you find them in dungeons located underground. They're pretty rare, and most of them only spawn zombies.
So built this, crusher still works great in 1.5.1 (using it on zombies) but 1 irritating problem is that the switch to turn the lights on/off doesn't fully work. Turning the lights OFF works fine, but the only pistons that retract when you turn them back on are the two side by side were the mobs are funneled through.

You have the best understanding/analysis of spawners that I've ever seen, so I'm very interested in your thoughts on the matter. Thanks!
It happens every once in a while, but check the water in the elevator & make sure they are all source blocks.
you can do it without crushing em,
if u add to your design u can drown them and stop them from rising as well,
i would do a response but no recorder D:
and my design also sends the loot back to base using only water!
Do you use redstone lamps maybe? It would power the block and make it a budswitch, which then would power the piston
Dude I made this on a server, did everything right + the light doesn't switch on/off. Also the skeletons won't go up the elevator. I didn't make it out of glass if it affects anything. Made it out of dark wood planks.
Thanks for the great tutorial, I just made my grinder on the xbox 360 thanks to you!

Works just fine for me in 1.4.4 :)
But as far as for the Gravity drop you need to have more than just one airpocket in the elevator, For me it works best to go every other block just so they will never drowned. :)
that farm + splash potions of healing (on skeletons) = server crashes forever (if on a server)
The easiest way to kill them is with the drop method. Then hit them with a level one health splash potion. I usually get 2.5 lvl 30 enchants from a half hour of waiting. If you want to have more experience than you know what to do with, set up your home base right under the water transport path. Put your chests closest to the spawner and the drop off area on the opposite side of the room.
Thanks, totally checking out that crusher set up!
19:00
easyer:
Get a dispenser with minecarts (use Toomanyitems or something to get 9 stacks)
Minecart will pop out the dispenser and fall into a cobweb, when the minecart is done falling,
it will pop ond a pressure-rail, then it falls in cactus
The distance from spawner is 9 to keep spawning, but water in that configuration will only take them 8 from the spawner. You need at least one drop I guess, not sure how skeletons deal with that.
I have made this in a survival and its so good thanks :)
Amazing redstone wizardry
also, the skeleton will now start shoot themself when forced into one block :) so i made a 2 block long and 23 blocks up. and i must say, the skeletons seems to spawn quicker after update... my last trap where on 1.4.7 and it was OK. but this one, the one you buildt, god damn. in 4 mins im in level 30 and ready to enchant (Y) thanks m8
You're supposed to remove the glass, he said he put the glass so that they wouldn't spawn, the area the glass was covering was the area the skeletons CAN spawn in
what do you prefer, the drop or the crusher? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both? Do the skeletons still drop down with the new AI?
Alright to help people out with the spawner issue if u find a spawner but don't like where it is use the enchantment on the pick axe where u can get any block
very useful and detailed tutorial! thanks a lot, good work mate!! ;)
Do the pistons up front need to be sticky? Mine just push the cobblestone (which I used in place of your iron blocks) into where they should be falling and then the stone just sits there when the piston retracts.
yes if you use a piston and you want the block to retract you have to have a sticky piston the regular piston just pushes the block the sticky one on the other had will hold the block going out and back in
@SokarEntertainment maybe a longer fall with a water break to prevent fall damage?
Found the problem, thanks a lot! Great tutorial
Thanks for the tutorial!! Its working extremely well in the server for me ^.^
I have a question to the areas of effect. You said I have to be in a circle around the spawner with a radius of 16. Now we are in 3 dimensions, does it matter? Is it a sphere around the mob spawner, or is it a cylinder? I ask it because until now I counted like when I count light levels. I build a snake from the light source to the place I am standing and the count of blocks I use is the "distance".
You find them in cave systems near hidden chests for the most part.
LOL. Squids/Octopi/whatever spawned in my drop weakener lol!
Also building any of the drop mechanism out of glass is a bad idea if it goes above ground lol.
Thx for the answer man. But why exactly would you choose the chrusher over the drop, even though the drop is much cheaper?
nice tutorial, I found it very easy to follow and build. :)
dude that is so awsome i really love it
Hey Sokar, I don’t think your dead and I understand if you don’t want to continue TH-cam but could you give all of us some closer? I understand you do have a life but please tell us what is going on.
thanks!! really helpful , now i can make my own design. Thanks a lot!!
thanks sokar! :D
worked perfectly....
can you do a nether xp farm...?
Thx it was helpful and nice video :)
A faster way would be to use Splash Potions of Healing >_>
Nether Wart --> Glistering Melon --> (Glowstone or) Gunpowder (--> Gunpowder if you chose glowstone)
yes, for mobs it would be like us always clicking "spacebar" in water they always stay above, which will mean they will go up automatically in this :) hope this helps, feel free to check out my channel!
thank you very much mate, you saved me a lot of time, shame i didnt search the wiki before tho!
Awesome video.
You just earned another subscriber. :)
if you go on the tmi (too many items) script you can change what it spawns as long as you use a capital letter at the start e.g. Zombie
Remove the block behind where you are punching. It really helps to kill them faster. Thumbs up so he can see and fix the trap.
Wow! how did you now this! now i don't have to risk my life. thx. liked it. if you read this you are a pro!
you can make them die faster if you make them stand in a 2x2 area not a 1x1 because then there is more space for you to hit and you dont kill 1 at a time you can kill multiple at a time or atleast thats what i do for my exp farms
Something that's a litle more expensive but also quick is to use splash potions I think? :)
that was such a awesome video
there, I watched it all. though you didn't show us your gravity creation in action ^^
I just dl got this in my recommended after watching the 1.18 trailer. Pretty cool design tho
they can spawn on water if there is a spawner and remember the is air above the water. They cant spawn in water (fully submerged)
Before I go making one of theses could I please have the dimensions of the total space needed to make this trap? I would just build it like you have here but obviously my traps are not going to be ground level with nothing obstructing it. :)
you have to spawn them in using single player commands or toomanyitems mate:)
AMAZING!A EXP HEAVEN!
You can do it with many mods
Too many items
Single player commands
or - as you said World edit
(if you use Too many items you will have to get a mod that allows you to change the type of mob it spawns)
1st :) nice video. So glad i get to see your vids again.
@SokarEntertainment I need to make one of these very soon. Been struggling with a massive sugarcane farm recently :-)
2. In the minecraft wiki, the water elevator for the gravity drop trap example (/wiki/Tutorials/Monster_Spawner_Traps) uses a zig-zag pattern of water/signs. Any idea why that is done over your simpler straight-up method?
Also, you didn't explain why the sign is needed midway up in your elevator.
BASICLY, and you can also use redstone lamps, jack o lanterns, or glowstone
i agree, i have no idea what to do at this bit
did you make sure that all the water going up were source blocks? If they aren't then the skellies get stuck and drown. How something that doesn't breathe can drown is beyond me but hey, it's minecraft.
U must throw a potion of healing it kills them all at once and cool vid!!!!
Thanks it worked when i removed the glass on the inside
If you're using TMI, get single player comments, and once the spawner is placed, look directly at it and type "Spawner Skeleton" and it should spawn skeletons instead :)
Well i checked out the world save and realized that but thanks anyway!
Do you have to place a water source block on ever block till the top? or do you just have to make sure there is water flowing all the way from the bottom to the top
