My dude this has been a problem with my spider farms since I started playing minecraft and I never thought of this. Genuinely thank you so much, you are a hero and a scholar. Please accept a friendly, covid safe, elbow bump of appreciation
I never really care about the looks of my farms and builds I just only care about efficiency. But every single time I watch wattles I get really excited about making my base really good looking. Thanks man.
Guys can we appreciate that this mans hasn’t missed a daily upload since 2018 October?!?!?!? And also the fact that his content is on point ever single day
This spider farm works exceptionally well (and the water trap is definitely a necessity), the only thing i'd suggest is to remove the top left and top right iron trapdoors because the spiders still cant get through but you can, which allows you easy access into the farm
I made a change to my build - I changed the slabs for more trap doors , the experience does not get caught anymore. and I put gates on the front wall just above the water level and above the opening to the killing chamber, that way spiders can't climb the wall. some will get through if they climb on top of another spider. More kills = more experience. I also found the drops where getting caught in the high water drown area.
Followed along and built my first ever xp farm! Yes, I have been playing for a long time. Yes it's embarrassing that I relied on fishing for xp for literal years. But now I've got a spider farm 😁
Just wanted to say thanks for the tutorial. This worked great for me. I just started enchanting for the first time ever and this is making it waaay easier.
To make the spiders easier to kill, I put magma blocks on the ground in the little 3x3 chamber the water feeds into. Not sure how much damage it does to them but it seems to help a little bit.
wattles, a journeymen levelled fletcher (or expert) trades for string, you can double on your profits from these farms! I recommend you making a string villager hall with clerics to sell string and rotten flesh after a decent grind.
You inspire me to upload every single day even when I feel like I'm busy or dont have time, I remember that you upload daily so it motivates me to push through, thanks wattles
Me; a bedrock gamer: oh another farm episode on the guide... great... I’ll watch it because it’s wattles and I love ❤️ his videos no matter what even if I can’t actually make the farms 🥲(big rip sometimes most times anyway back to the point) Wattles: This farm also works on bedrock Me; a bedrock gamer: 😃YIPPEE It’s been a long journey but we are finally here folk
Every single time I wish Wattles would post a new video. A new video shows up, as if by magic. Thank you for being awesome Wattles I never miss a single Episode.
as someone who hates any creature that falls under the category of insect, arachnid, or general arthropod, this brings me great pleasure. especially since I found four these (well, cave spiders) beneath my base and also happened to a silk touch spawner datapack on the world, meaning I can finally put my bane of arthropods sword to use!
Hey Wattles! I was wondering if you’d ever do an ocean exploration episode this season! I feel like that’d be a fun and different from the other videos you’ve done this season :)
If spiders are still climbing the walls, I recommend using chests on the same level as the flowing water, since the smaller hitbox of the chest acts as a small indent that's not high enough to stop the spiders from getting pushed by the water Alternatively, you could just make a wall of water flowing inward, but that's a bit more complicated and unnecessary I've only used this for cave spiders, and it's a bit costly in terms of wood, but it works
Tip: Since Watler (your bow) doesn't have mending on it, you can combine it with another bow in an anvil. I wasnt sure if you knew this or not so I figured I'd say something.
Judging from what music you seem to like here are some of my favorites that I recommend Zelda and chill 2. I love that music and it reminds me of the music in your videos NF all of his songs are pretty good in my opinion especially “change”
Thanks for sharing it! I built it in my Minecraft PE survival world and it kinda works Maybe there's something about unlit caves, but at least I can kill spiders from safety.
Wattles: I don't think going to this interdimensional staircase with Birb on it is a good idea Subs: Don't be a coward, let's go, in and out, 20-minute adventure *23 episodes later* AHHHHHHHHHH
I found some things that would upgrade the farm... First, put slabs on the roof of the little room the spiders go into, then you can replace the too iron trapdoors with normally blocks to save some iron. Then you won't have to look up and will only have to look side to side to kill the spiders
Wattles dont you realize that when birb crossed the inter-dimensional gateway his soul left his body. Thats why he wasnt moving. You lost the opportunity to take him out.
Me in bedrock edition: finds a skeleton and spider spawner near spawn Wattles in java edition: still can’t find a skeleton spawner I bet wattles is jealous
Hey Wattles! Put a shepherd and a fisherman villagers in the room where you kill the spiders. So.. you could make some of the string to wool sell them to shepherd and.... strings itself to the fisherman villager.
thank you so much! best spider farm! works on bedrock too. To stop spiders from getting stuck at the kill chamver, just add three more slabs at the killing area and you're golden
@@rehanawaris7110 it was only because he used to and then earlier in the series he said he wasn’t ready to return to twitch so I was just wondering what happened
The string dropped by the spiders that get stuck in the water trap in the ceiling doesn't drop to the bottom to come to the kill box and be collected. It hangs in the water in the ceiling until you climb up there and get it (which isn't the point of this farm) or it despawns at the 5 minute mark. But if you use a row of cactus (no fence gates), the string will fall to the floor and get swept in to the kill box.
Dude, this helped me a lot! I went from 5 levels to 21 in like half an hour, and I'm not sure if I built the farm right either! Also, I was going back to the surface at times, so it's like 25 minutes. Thanks a lot!
This was super helpful. I tried the long drop method and the spiders kept climbing out of it. This design work great. I put cacti at the end of the water so I don't have to hit the spiders as much. I know the cacti probably destroys some of the drops, but I mostly wanted the xp. (I do not really have a use for a double chest of string and eyes.) With the cacti, I only have to punch the spiders once, even with just an empty fist, and I get the xp. I think I'll add a redstone lamp so I can turn off the spawner when I am not using it.
Normally, I don't leave mean comments, but this video made me so angry. I searched up "spider xp farm" and then this was the first video that came up. I figured that it would be a great tutorial, as it showed up first. However, during my time watching this horrendous video, I was confused, hurt, and betrayed by this video. At the beginning of the preparation portion of the video, you stated we would need a fence gate, iron trapdoor and hopper. However, I was shocked to see you using 6 iron trapdoors and 3 hoppers and a shocking lack of fence gates. This video also can't decide whether it wants to be a tutorial or let's play video, as the title suggests it's a hybrid, giving this video so much extra time that was simply not needed. Words cannot describe my anger towards this man. I am sure your videos are great, but this was a terrible first impression. I will not be watching any of your tutorials again, but you also have 1.63M subscribers so I'm sure that doesn't matter. I just needed to vent my anger, and hopefully, you can decide whether or not to be a let's play creator or tutorial creator.
thank you for this, I was going for achievements but I saw an obvious spawner and built it, it even works in 2024 so that good, once again thank you this is really helpful ♥♥♥
I just started playing Minecraft over the weekend and randomly found a spider spawned mining! I will definitely be using this tutorial to get some more XP cuz I need it lol
In which country do you live? Btw I am from Bangladesh. As the timezone of my country, your video published at 1 PM. Love your Vids. I watch your minecraft guide regularly. And a big fan of yours
I’m loving this underlying plot with Birb. But also if you need help Wattles, I got a Slifer and Seal of Orichalcos. So I could seal Birb’s soul into a card and he’ll never be a problem again 😈
Birb is definitely evil. Like 100% evil! Also I was cracking up when you were showing off birb with dark music and then you just went all upbeat and started talking about the spawner.
Hey Wattles, just wanted to give you a huge thanks for kind of being a role model for me on TH-cam. I just published my first TH-cam video ever today and it is nowhere close to the production quality of your videos. Do you have any programs/services/products you would recommend for someone starting out like I am? Recommendations like what software you use for editing, programs you use to record your audio/video, and products like a particular microphone. I already have a large list of things I am changing from listening to my video over and over again, but having your input, even if you don't watch the video, would be a huge help. Thanks in advance.

hey kmond, was literally just wondering whether wattles would use a design similar to that of yours!
I accidentally made this on a cave spider spawner and now I'll never sleep again. They came out by the million. They were everywhere.
Hilarious and terrifying
I just found a cave spider spawner and I'm soo scared to try to light it up :/

You are one of the best builder I think, everyone would like to see you in hermicraft.
Wattles, you should do a video where you have a 60 minute building competition with your friends to see who can build the best thing!
If spiders are still climbing the walls, I recommend using chests on the same level as the flowing water, since the smaller hitbox of the chest acts as a small indent that's not high enough to stop the spiders from getting pushed by the water
Alternatively, you could just make a wall of water flowing inward, but that's a bit more complicated and unnecessary

I'm assuming this still works in 1.19?
Just built this on what I thought was a regular spider spawner... they sure did pour right through that thing
Roads to connect everything, you need roads
FYI you can use this for cave spiders, just replace the iron trapdoors with slabs (:
I kinda know most of his builds but I watch cos I like the way wattles makes his builds it's entertaining
I like using a fence line after the spawn room to push spiders against the trapdoors. No jumping necessary. Awesome content regardless.
Ty for posting every day
I would highly recommend adding the water trap regardless of the height you give your spawner room.
Does a high ceiling help spawn more spiders? If not then you'll be at an xp loss from those spiders you could've killed directly.
thank you so much! best spider farm! works on bedrock too. To stop spiders from getting stuck at the kill chamver, just add three more slabs at the killing area and you're golden

Could you use magma blocks on the top to kill the spiders at all points of the roof??
You have to stand on magma blocks to take damage so I think not.
listen i have been trying to make one of these forever and u just made it the easiest farm ive ever built thank you so much
Wattles just can’t resist making his builds fresh af. Even when he’ll never look at it again 😂
If you swap the trapdoors for top slabs it should work for cave spooders but they might be harder to kill because the gap is smaller
you should definitely do the optional drowning step because i did not and the build up of spiders actually stopped more spiders from spawning
