for people who want to know what stuff and how much u need for this in survival. u need 1194 cobblestone 64 trapdoors 8 buckets of water and a few minutes to build this. i did the math.
For those of you having issues, I've just done a quick test in a completely normal world, no superflats or voids or anything like that. It gave me approx. 365 drops in 10 mins with 2 layers to the farm (which is around 2,190 drops per hour), here's how I laid it out (not for xp). Firstly, the bottom of the farm was at y=200 and the actual spawning platforms were at y=202 and y=207. You need to be between 24 and 32 blocks away for mobs to spawn and move around, and therefore walk off into the water streams. So I was stood at y=232. Because I didn't want an xp farm, I built the 2x2 killing area at y=167 to make sure 99.9% of the mobs died. Hope this helps some of you out there. Please note: the test was only done once on Normal difficulty so rates could slightly change for you. But it definitely does work.
The people who said it didn't work, you should check if you are near a cave. That can effect it because the cave will steal the mob spawning so you need to light up the caves so then the mob spawner is the only dark thing and will get the most mobs. It would be better to do it in the sky because less caves.
Tested in 1.12.2 RLCraft. Works fine for me. edit: make sure you light up the ground and all the caves and loaded terrain near the farm. it will help improve efficiency.
Just some tips: 1. you can put some slabs on spawning area to avoid spiders; 2. its the most effective if you build it over the ocean, because mob grinder will be the only spot mobs spawn
+Pickle Pete I just built it on my survival server, and it only drops around 1-3 mobs a minute I tried building it up high (y=170, the ground is at y=68), I also lit up the area surrounding it and all the caves nearby what am I doing wrong? I built it exactly as shown
+I am human. i noticed this issue on servers as well. The ones i tried it on had desreased mob spawning so that might be your issue, but I am not entirely sure.
This was the best tutorial I've ever seen for a mob grinder, your music was great (if a little loud at times), and the ghost was adorable. You deserve more subscribers! I'm sick of all the weird dubstep in ameteur videos.
hey, just for anyone who might have an iron farm or something similar near this farm, put slabs on top of the roof to prevent interference with other farms. The slabs prevent mob spawning as they are not a full block.
It was great after hours of no sleep and sitting in one spot my island looked great. I just had to close that one block gap for the grinder. But as soon as I put out that last torch I feel in the middle and I died. The monsters multiplied and spilled out through that one small opening. It was a hard battle that couldn’t be won. They were everywhere. Creepers were exploding on the roof, skeletons were in my pens standing in water, zombies were having parties on my farms and spiders were mostly in my bathroom for some strange reason. So I had to delete my one block sky block island. Rip, your existence will never be forgotten.🥺
XP wont drop itself. You will need to at least damage mobs by 1 heart, then they'll drop XP. My suggestion is to make them just fall and take damage, and then finish them by a sword, it depends how tall is the farm.
For those who are wondering what resource pack I'm using, I do not have a definite answer. I downloaded some packs and went into the files and deleted textures i didn't like. There is a bit of Faithful/EnderPack and a lot of them are from youtubers such as MrWoofless and PeteZahHutt. Just play around with some of the files in those packs and you should end up with something similar to this! :) Hope this helped and have a nice day!
ya know how long it took to find a video showing this without a spawner? who wants to trek to the dungeon they found on the other side of the world just to get xp. Thankyou for this
Great tutorial! I have questions though. If you have a spawner, can you use it in combination with the natural spawning? And I also saw some mobs die on impact, so you can't get player-created drops and xp?
Flame if you have access to a spawner, you should look up mon farms that are for spawners, they are much more efficient than a spawner in this one (the youtuber Mumbo Jumbo should have some good ones)
For those saying they font spawn: Mobs spawn between 24 and 32 blocks away, and only in an available location with low enough light. In my case, it didnt work right away because I was too close, so I built the platforms wider, and to connect the streams had higher levels drop first into lower levels. They spawn now. This will work underground, but I had to fill in all the caves within 32 blocks centered on me. One positive side effect of this is that when I'm in my base above ground the top of the grinder is just within range of spawning, so the monsters spawn there and less on the surface even at night, and when I drop down into the bottom of the grinder they are ready.
There are several reasons for this: -You're less than 24 blocks from the spawner -Light level inside is higher than 7 (torches give 15) -The block under them isn't Solid or an Upside down slab which gives flat ground. -Above that block is obstructed or filled with Water -The Biome is Ocean Monument, Mushroom island or The Void. (I tried making a skyblock with 'The Void' superflat... same spawn problem)
kookeekwisp They also change mob code. Like there was a time when mobs though signs were solid object but they patched it maybe they patched trap doors
Mine didn’t work :( I’m playing Java 1.13, do I need to light up the areas around? How far? Caves? No mobs are even spawning inside of it. I hope the server I’m on doesn’t have any weird plugins.
no mobs are spawning, area is lit up around it for at least 5 chunks, and there are no caves near it (i checked with gamemode 3!) it is also on hard mode. please help ;-;
Started building this in hardcore. Stopped when I placed the water buckets because they were turning to ice. Turns out, you shouldn't build this on top of a mountain lol
I’ve been playing Legacy edition on PlayStation 4 because it’s better than bedrock and I found this tutorial. I just made the farm and I’m scared it won’t work because I used 1 billion cobblestone for it.
@@incogtion I don’t know when you got the idea that the legacy edition was better but bedrock has had massive improvements that make is so it has stuff better then Java and that comes from a Java player lol. On my pc I can turn my chunk render distance up to 92. I can see across oceans and I can turn RTX mode high then I can turn most shaders up to. But on bedrock I can look from the main end Island and see the outer islands. Idk what the legacy edition was made on but bedrock was made on C++ besides factors that are completely personal you bedrock is drastically better than Java anything else is completely personally driven.
Try having a ladder or scaffolding so you can stand on the top of it. I found that sometimes mobs don't spawn unless you're up there so maybe that will work for you too
I tried to do it in 1.12.2 but it doesn't work i have been more than 15m afk and not even a mob has fallen down how can i fix it?I built it at a height of 63
1:try lowering the entire build 2:some minecraft versions work better than others 3:it doesnt work in snowy biomes 4:you have to light up like every dark spot anywhere around
If mob spawning is disabled or decreased it does not work. I also reccommend spending some time lighting nearby caves and land. Id it is built high, there are also less other places for mobs to spawn. Hope this helped! :)
Check for light, domobspawning, and light up caves near ya, as well as checking if you are on peaceful mode. I know you said that a long time ago, but here.
I doesn't work! Wasted my time and basically all my cobblestone. I built in in the desert so the area would be flat and nothing has spawned!! I followed the instructions exactly
Either that or mon spawning was disables However if that doesn’t work then try increasing render distance and still if not try increasing height (yh I know I am extremely late)

If no mobs are spawning, you need to be in range so that the chunks are loaded, but no less than 21 blocks away from the spawning area

@Loferix: It's not really that important, since they just push each other off anyways.
EDIT: No, they did not patch trapdoors.
This is not the best in the overworld as you have to light up every thing with in like a good 100 blocks including all the caves
Make sure you change your difficulty off peacefull not saying your stupid or forgetfull its just that I made this mistake

You idiots. He means he lit up all the caves so the mob limit doesn't get reached. He's not that stupid. You're the stupid ones here.
