For anyone interested: I ran the farm with 2 (as in the video) and 4 floors. With a Looting III sword, it took about 6 minutes and 10 seconds to get a full shulker worth of rockets (9 stacks of gunpowder) with 2 floors. With the two extra floors (4 floors in total) it took about 5 minutes and 30 seconds to get the same amount of gunpowder. If you ask me, not worth the extra materials and hastle. The farm is good as it is in the video.Nice video man, excellent farm. Simple and effective.
Agree it’s good as in the video as after I finished it took no time at all it seemed to get a bunch of fun powder to the point of getting a second double chest almost full of gun powder
i would just like to mention that this is a java only farm. Gor bedrock users this farm makes like 16-32 gunpowder and the farm also makes spiders spawn in it. Just to save you some time if your on bedrock and want to build this. I’d reccomend another farm specified for bedrock.
omg it works so fast for such a cheap and easy farm thank you also works if u want other mobs to spawn too, i didnt put trap doors on top of 2 spawning platforms so now i have mostly gun powder but some bones etc as well
I made a creeper farm of shulkercraft and guess what this is farm than shulkercrafts one shulkercraft one produced almost 600-700 gunpowder in an hour and this produced 3240 per hour the shulkercrafts was also harder to build I would always recommend this farm tnks to voltrox 😀😁💯
Yes That design was pretty out dated i built it as well and it worked but pretty slow.i guess the reason this one works this good is that its in the sky
this was my FIRST EVER time building any kind of mob farm. this tutorial was super easy to follow and i managed to get this thing fully built (after like 5 hours getting all the cobble) in around 45 minutes. this also produces a TON of exp and gunpowder and started spawning creepers before i even finished the roof. this is definitely an amazing farm if youre a total beginner like me!!!
My advice for Bedrock: Follow all the instructions except do this instead: - Do not use any slabs to prevent spiders, you can’t stop them from spawning unless you stop the creepers as well (they both need 2X2 in bedrock). Accept the spiders. - replace all stairs/walls with solid blocks - replace roof with solid blocks, but make sure to put torches up there. Other than those things, do everything as he suggests and you’ll have plenty of creepers (and spiders) spawning.
I was thinking of building a creeper farm for 1.18 and you sent the tutorial in perfect time. Thank you so much. Now I will complete my sugarcane farm and tomorrow I will build this farm. Really appreciate you
@@jamesbauer3109 Bro, this creeper farm is INSANE!! Super efficient creeper/xp farm I've ever made! Use a sweeping edge 3 and looting 3 sword for the best loot. And I will highly recommend you to build this.
REALLY WELL DONE! great editing and a good working design. the only thing i can really recommend for the video is an explanation as to why you're doing certain things.. like why you used stairs on the walls for example, i'd like to be able to make a style change and might not want walls so stuff like that is handy to know
@Voltrox, thanks for the build/tutorial! This is a good farm for SMP. I prefer this build compared to the other creeper farms using water dispensers or hundreds of cats. After building it in survival I have a few recommendations: • Building a bit higher than 2 stacks of blocks would avoid being in the cloud layer at the AFK/Killing area of the farm (notice in video there are no clouds). • For the last level of the farm, instead of placing the trapdoors on the ceiling first like in the video, I find it's easier to place slabs then place the trapdoors from underneath as per the first level. • Activating the farm from the inside is a challenge. Bring more blocs to have easy in and out access to the farm from the outside because as soon as you remove the torches from the platforms creepers may spawn and you don't want them destroying your work 💥. Cheers!
@@michaelaumann6533 It works for me...and still works in 1.19.2. Are you building it in the middle of the ocean? It really helps with spawn rate. Also note that this farm only works for Java, not bedrock.
@@aeropondus it still works after updating my world although I saved the chunk in which my farm is so this part did not reset when I updated it. However, the mechanics of it still work.
thx so much for making this video! i was tired of picking off creepers and gasts and the other creeper farm designs looked too complicated and i didnt have enough resources. I love ur videos!
Thank you so much for this tutorial..I was like finding this type of tutorial from the 1 or 2 months and today i found it..Thank you so much and i m surely gonna try this🤩🤩🤩🤩
I just have to say that I've built this farm in 3 hardcore worlds and have been able to get 3700 gunpowder per hour for a farm that only takes like an hour and a half to make + materials. Saying that lots of people say 2000 an hour is good for farms much harder to build, but they forgot about a real time saver, looting!
"For the first step, we need to build all the way up with our 2 stacks of dirt." I used over 6 stacks of gold blocks for this step to create pillars and a foundation at the bottom because I made your gold farm first.
if you want to get other mobs than only creepers you can just remove the slabs and trapdoors for one of the floors and then its a xp farm +you still get really many gunpowder (it still works on 1.19.3)
BRO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU! I MADE 2 GUNPOWDER/CREEPER FARM IN MY SMP, THEY DIDN'T WORKED, I DONT KNOW WHY. THEN I MADE YOUR CREEPER FARM. THANKFULLY IN 30 MINUTES I GOT 1000+ GUNPOWDER. NOW I CAN MINE NETHERITE/ANCIENT DEBRIS IN NETHER WITH TNT. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH
just finished building this in 1.19.3 java, works really well thank you Voltrox! Similar to others I did 1 layer with trapdoors and the other without so that I could get zombies and skelly spawns on top of creeper - highly recommend this for XP as well as Loot early/mid or late game!
still works flawlessly in java 1.19, although i recommend that survival mode players bring an extra stack of ladders and building blocks to make traversing the build easier.
Hello, I really like the design of this farm, but have a couple questions. Does this farm need to be built over an ocean or can you build it in a wider river area? Secondly, can we use carpet instead of slabs for the spawn area? Thank you for sharing this fantastic creeper farm build! Keep the tutorials and vids coming! 👍
@@iamdopeuarenope5617 I built it over a deeper area of a river, it doesn't seem to be working as well as Voltrox's :( Is it because it is a river and not an ocean?
Just need 128 block higher than the ground, build in ocean because the ocean ylevel is low, so the farm can be lower ,[lower the ylevel, the more mob spawning rate] You can build in a wide river, but make sure the surrounding don't have high mountain cuz mob will spawn on it and affect the rates of the farm
Thanks for this tut buti didnt make the second platform for creepers tho i made it so i can get in when i need to,but still i get 2 stacks in 10 min so thanks!
You can do a afk and a xp farm in 1 when you just turn the fire from the campfire off. And when you want to have a afk farm again you just need to turn the fire on. In addition the half block has the same sice like the campfire
Thanks for doing this. I have been looking for a good gun powder farm video for a long time and all the others are so hard but this is the best in my opinion:)
I thought it’ll take 50 minutes to finish but it actually took me 6 hours lol, a really good farm for java and its amazing but takes a lot of effort but it’ll pay off.
So this isn't for Bedrock I take it? Because I just spent some time building it and 1. Stairs are transparent blocks, so no good for walls. 2. Once I covered a corner with opaque blocks I started getting skeletons and spiders, not a single creeper. Really glad I didn't start this on my survival world. If this is only for Java the title should get changed.
@@mech5148 so I took down my other xp Farm and light up some small islands near the creeper farm changed the difficulty to hard and I’m getting some action at the creeper farm. I’m getting spiders and creepers not as many as in the video but still gaining some gun powder
Some notes for this farm: You should use a water bucket instead of ladders, its way faster and uses way less resources, and you should bring 8 water buckets because it doesn’t say you need water buckets for the farm. Otherwise great tutorial!
I just have one question if I expand my farm by suppose 5 to 6 layers will it affect the distribution rates of creeper falling down. As you know a certain amount of mobs can spawn in a radius?. Btw great tutorial.

That's because shulkercraft build it above ground, try to build it above ocean too and then compare with this, which one is faster and more?
its obvious that at the ground mob spawning so mob cap is filling faster and slows farm rate

If u dont afk and kill them with a looting sword u will get almost twice gunpowder

place the slabs

If you guys are having a problem to get such a huge amount of block in the beginning, use netherack or dirt
Build a nether portal at your AFK spot so you don't have to climb 128 ladder
