I’ve found fishing, while not being the most interactive experience, a very reliable source of xp. You can also disenchant any fishing rods or bows that you get for even more xp
For the early game I tend to do a lot of fishing. It's a bit boring sometimes but there are a number of advantages. 1: XP from the fishing itself. 2: You get enchanted books, bows and fishing rods. These can be used or combined on an anvil, or disenchanted for xp. 3: If you keep all of the fish you fish up you can level up a fisherman village (especially if you cured them). This unlocks a boat trade, which allows you to convert wood to emeralds. I'll admit that you really do need an anvil to make much use of the books, so maybe its not really "early" game. But certainly something that could follow the smelting iron from stony peaks method.
When trading for XP you can always make a fletching table and trade sticks with the fletcher. Very simple, cheap and renewable. You could even get multiple fletchers and you'd get profits all day long.
My favorite easy xp farm is setting up next to a deep body of water and farming kelp. Dry them out in furnace and recycle the kelps blocks as fuel and keep farming kelp.
I just started playing on a new server, and I got tons of experience just mining skulk. The hard part is removing the shriekers, but after that, you can get tons of levels pretty quickly.
For the outpost, take a trap door and place it on the ceiling of the entrance to the outpost so when it is opened it covers the top half of the door. Pillagers cannot enter the structure when the trap door is in this position, Go up to the top and raid the chest and get 6 fences. Put the fences in the outpost windows so they can't shoot in. When pillagers crowd by the door you can safely take them out with a sword. Place a portal and bed on top of the outpost and eventually connect it to your nether hub and back to your base. Put a workbench, oven, honing block, and chest inside near the door so that you can disenchant and burn dropped crossbows to make glass or smelt ore and make even more xp while you are harvesting pillagers. Very good early xp farm that stays useful until you get a better monster spawner farm or big zombie-cured villager trading center setup for sticks, berries, melons, iron, etc
I traded my way up in hardcore mode. It's enough to where you can get the infinite trades such as buying bookshelves for an emerald and then selling 3 books for an emerald each. You have to zombify and cure villagers a couple of times, but it's really not hard. In addition to that, you can get some pretty good trades from villagers and it's less hazardous.
I'm not sure if curing zombie villagers is early game. It depends how your game unfolds but you need a potion stand which requires blaze rods which requires an extended trip into the dangerous nether. Good idea but I thought it would be more mid-game.
I really don't think getting the blaze rods and nether wart is much of a problem, which depends on your play style and how comfortable you are in the nether. My biggest issue in this strategy is time. Getting set up to efficiently zombify and cure villagers is time consuming as is getting the right trades. With a few farmers though, you can trade your way into some emeralds fairly easy. I think with two productive play sessions you can get set up pretty well.
The early game trade is to buy glass from librarians and sell glass panes to cartographers. Seed your trades with a manual sugar cane farm. Your can get this started in the first couple hours of a new world.
A nice and easy way to get xp early game is to set up a cactus farm that funnels into a smelter array powered by your choice. Personally I use a simple bamboo farm to power the smelters. This is also a way to store a ton of xp all at one if you siphon off the green dye into a chest the furnace will still hold all the xp from all items smelted. Also smelting cactus gives the most xp per smelt out of any item.
Cool, but accumulating XP early game on purpose kinda seems like a fools errand. It's useless until you can enchant and your going to die a lot. I would just focus on diamonds and a Mending villager.
I thought the same. If u dont yet have anything worth enchanting whats the point of exp. Earlly game for me consists of - base building , sorting a renewable food source & then gathering materials.. im not fussed about exp till mid too late game
Cooking food gives XP too, so if you spawn near an ocean you can cook kelp (that you can then turn into combustible so you don't have to worry about that)
I love to use villagers for xp, late game too. once you set up a trading hall you can trade iron for emeralds. this is how i repair my tools aswell, especially because I play on bedrock and we dont have offhand
I'd argue copper is better then coal and iron. Cos one block drops usually more then one copper. And yes, quartz is the way to go. Nether wastes are pretty safe anyway.
Fishing early game is a grind but valuable to invest in early game. Finding an infinity bow with BONUS power 4 or so is a great help, some books to boot (and perhaps some boots to boot too), and food, and XP from cooking that food. Overall if one puts their time in they get to enjoy the fruits of their crime and being overall in a better position to survive early game. For pure XP, nether quarts is the quick fix.
My favorite early game farm set ups are potato’s! Then set up a furnace that funnels into a chest to cook them! And then use the cooked potatoes in a mini bonemeal farm!
I definitely like going go fishing a lot of the time, especially with how easy it can be to build a fishing spot wherever you go+ a big bonus if you have a villager you can spam your fish at
I only use the smelting as that little bit extra I might need to get an enchant, I will say the first thing I do when I get the RSS for it I quickly set it up to store XP so it isn't wasted I mean all you need is a switch, a hopper and an output chest. 2 chests and 5 iron are easy to get after you get a sword and pick and then I store all the xp while getting the rest of the gear and there sits an xp store for when I start enchanting
I think that fishing is great alternative to be honest. If you keep doing it, and if you're lucky enough, at some point you will get an enchanted fishing rod with a set of enchanments such as: Attraction (very useful to farm experience faster); Mending (combined with the other one you can just keep on fishing with out caring about durability); luck of the sea (this is a win if you get a fishing rod with this and one of the other enchanments) After a while, I generally get an enchanted fishing rod with unbreaking, mending and attraction, wich is very useful. With a enchanted rod is way more easier to get enchanted books and enchanted items early game. I'm team fishing rod :D
Normally I play Rimworld, but my son (he's 9) loves to play Minecraft so I thought I'd check out some videos. Your video was fun to watch, so he seems to have a point 😉 Got a like from me my friend 🙂👍
Dude wattles, not sure if you remember me but I stopped in your stream asking what shades you had on, and I think you had just around 1000 subs, it's INSANE seeing the growth of your channel! Hope all is well! And keep up the amazing work man (Pretty sure my name was RedFFA at the time)
If you are willing to deal with outpost or nether combat the new caves can be good too. I like to use a water stream as an elevator to get in and out. Light up the area around the water to spawn proof it, and then day or night I have a pretty consistent stream of mobs. I tried experimenting with making tunnels or walls to direct traffic, and I liked having a wall about three high and ~15 blocks long to get a break from half of the visible mobs. I tried using multiple walls and found it tedious and not really worth it. Those caves also have a lot of ores for the grabbing, and can be a good way to find mineshafts, ancient cities, geodes, and in my experience if you die, just plop back down to grab your stuff and then leave
Nice easy one is to use dark oak or spruce trees and create giant trees cut them down and convert them to sticks and sell to a fletcher. You get so many sticks from one harvest you could get a lot of gems and then turn around and buy food or equipment from others and all that will give you xp. Do that a couple times and you could easily get to 10 to 20 levels if you do it right.
In my opinion, absolutely definitely surely the best way to gain XP not only in the early game but always is, pig breeding just a carrot farm (better if automate it with villagers) and a big area for so many pigs and breed them, this method quickly gives you so much XP by breeding them and even more by killing them and consistently good food source ✌️
Yep, also chickens, cows, sheep, even rabbits. All the livestock are great for early game xp, most drop something tradable, get a butcher, fletcher, leather worker etc and you’re golden
I've always seen early game as defensive: mob-proofing home base and a nearby trading village, with middle game only starting when you're fully tooled up and ready to enter the nether. I guess it's possible to go on the attack in early game, but don't tell me you survive for very long in a tin hat and cowhide wellies.
i would argue that a spawner farm could be considered early game considering that the bare minimum materials for it are literally two buckets of water and fists to dig (a pick would be ideal obviously). but yeah done spawners can just be hanging out at cave entrances occasionally and you just did your 9x9x5 and you can bring them over. don’t even need to drop them really so no dire need for the soul sand if you don’t have it. also fishing can be really nice especially if you can pull a god rod and just sit in the rain and start reeling in the profit
Early early, I would do the pigmen farm. You can make it safer by building a real house from cobblestone and then having a small pitfall trap for the pigmen. After that, a raid farm can double as a good enough xp farm to get you through the rest of the game
When I start a new world my first real XP source is always a mob farm. Put it high up and the XP will rain down on you, plus useful drops like armor, weapons, and bones.
- trading is a really great idea if you make a mega spruce tree farm and sell sticks to fletchers! - now that caves are so big and open, dungeons have become much easier to find (i usually find one 2 to 3 hours after starting a new world in 1.18+) - mining nether quartz is also a very good early game way of getting xp!
honestly, breeding grind is pretty good too. With enough seeds you can make a pretty solid cow farm where you get xp from breeding, killing the cows, cooking the meat in a furnace and you get leather which you can use for an enchanting set up.
what you could do is get a stick trade to get plenty of emeralds. Then get a cleric and level him up until he trades you enchantment bottles. Then you get the exp from the trades itself and the enchantment bottles.
For the trading part: Get a few fishermen and make a string duper, every 3 seconds you get a stack of string and fishermen do 20 string for 1 emerald, this could also be done with fletchers once you level them up a bit.
feedback. Method 1. use a shield 2. mine sculk blocks on 1.19.0 (not .1), just need the biome, not the city 3.use mob spawner or cave spider farm 4. not bad, current wr method for full iron 15 levels. 5. certain Advancements give you xp (all nether biomes is a good one)
i regularly mine coal and fish when i need to get xp, i also farm at night and use a cow farm! mining coal is my favorite because they have great big veins and its fun, quick, & safe!
I got a double chest of logs and built a double mob spawner without spiders and two floors. It took me some time to get the wood to build it, and two hours placing blocks, but now it's infinity XP and bonemeal
I find adding a double-chest and hoppers to two furnaces is a great way to get xp. It’s great because you don’t have to wait for it, and you can die many times before claiming the xp, just pull an item from the furnace whenever you are ready to enchant. But you do have to continually fill it with food/ores to build it up.
I combine smelting copper (it’s usually really easy to find in abundance) and villager trading. Also if you mine while smelting you collect blocks for later builds. 🙂
A lucky skeleton spawner a few blocks near my base carried me early game ngl. Was able to make a simple enough skeleton spawner farm and that was tons of loot+exp
I dunno you all but i get so much XP from getting ores from the caves. And when you get to the nether, you can mine quartz which gives a ton of XP quickly. And honestly, nether wastes are pretty safe while also the best biome to exp in early game.
The best way to get XP was the furnai before it got patched at least for me. Now I like to grow pumkins and watermelons and sell them to my converted zombie villager farmers. You can get a lot of XP that way. And without getting killed
I would argue a non automatic bamboo farm could be considered early game. If you find bamboo, and a village, you could farm the bamboo a lot, you could make many sticks, and trade with villagers consistently. Specifically the fletcher. The trick to it is literally planting hundreds of bamboo, and then breaking only the second block going up once the bamboo has grown big. I'll warn you that this can get boring. However, it is technically early game.
I always go into the nether, hit a pigman, then just build up two blocks so they can't reach. Plus I can jump down or run if there's ghasts. Also mining quartz is great
For me, even though it can be not so easy to find I always try to build a spawner xp farm, materials are not too hard to find and it's a pretty fast build. Other than that I find the trading method the easiest and fastest one! And it's super useful to get great items at the same time
I usually build a mob farm up the skies with two layers of spawning platforms and some trapdoors to prevent spider spawn. I takes some time to build and get enough wood, but after it's set up, it's pretty fast to get level 30 (I believe it takes 10' to go from 0 to 30)
chicken farms are good, you can 100% automate them for the purposes of xp generation moreorless by just adding an auto-renewable fuel source (ie, bamboo or kelp farm). Infinite decent food, infinite xp, and no need to even do anything except grab chicken. Toss a villager in to trade the raw chicken with and you can generate emeralds. I suppose you could do the same with a fish-mob cooker, where the fish get yeeted by bubble columns into cobwebs and suffocate, their dead bodies getting pushed to a collector when they fall out. That would compress the farm by eliminating the growth timer.
Every world I start I try to get farms especially potatoes because they drop up to 3 from 1 and then I can trade with a farmer villager and that gives pretty good xp and I love the smelting ores idea
I prefer a variation of the outpost method. Run into the structure, and place one block in the 2x1 doorway. Now they can't get in, but will run towards it when they see you. Move to the side when they shoot, then smack them. Also just very satisfying to steal their home when the outnumber you like 20-1. You can even make it a little base with a mine, and do smelting at the same time.
Instead of a field at nighttime where you can get overwhelmed (surrounded) easily, if you are near an ocean, standing on top of your boat and coaxing spiders and zombies over to you, they are super slow in the water and you can take them out easily and safely. If too many skeletons lock on to you, boat away to another spot along the shoreline.
Fishing is a really easy way to gain xp, especially in the ocean biome. And getting sticks from punching leaves and string from spiders isn’t hard. You can get levels 1-10 very fast, then it slows down a bit for levels 10-20, then slows down some more after level 20. The process is even faster if/when you fish out an enchanted fishing rod with Lure and Luck of the Sea. Plus you can get enchanted rods and bows that you can use or disenchant (for even more xp). And mega bonus, you’ll fish out enchantment books and so much food!
Probably mob spawner. I had one with a fish and kelp farm right next to it and a smelter for loot,dried kelp. But the guardian farm i have now is just insane but not possible early game.
For me what helped me early game was smelting. I needed tons of copper and tons of calcite for a build so I headed off to stony shores and stony mountains and then mined and smelted all those ores.
Find yourself a place to settle directly next to the ocean or other water you can fish in. 1st Set up a Farm 2nd Get yourself some cows 3rd Mine near the farm so the crops have time to grow while you go mining 4th With the mined stone and ores set up some furnaces, also near the farm 5th Breed the cows 6th Fish while you wait for the cows to grow up and the ores to smelt 7th get the ores out of the furnace and craft better gear 8th kill some cows (safe the leather for books) and breed the rest 9th rinse and repeat step 4 to 8 Barely any risk of loosing the XP you've already gotten and it involves a lot of different things to do and enjoy early game. Easy as that.
Is the bedrock smelting technique still a thing? I have no idea how but I remember being able to get a ton of xp from a smelter on a friend's bedrock server.
Bucket method to set up the nether portal and then going to mine quartz is a very effective xp method and safer than killing anything. Quartz gives a ridiculous amount of xp.
When I play on my phone (bedrock edition obviously) early game it's super easy to get tons of xp with the fletchers and stone masons by trading sticks and clay , it's suuuuper easy to do and gives a ton of xp and emeralds which I need
imho the best exp farm late game is the nether roof gold farm. It is fully auto and you get more exp than you can pickup per second.. I think its better than the ender ender even if a bit harder to make. Also gold isnt the most useful but helps pay for rails. For mid game i dont know. I always struggle with mid game exp after the first few tools are enchanted.
Sticks is the best villager trade for xp and emeralds without a farm, or with a simple iron farm (a small one can be built in less than an hour) iron is a great villager trade.
I would mine down to the diamond level and strip mind. With the cobblestone I got. I made a wall of furnaces and smelt the cobble, while it Cooked I would strip mind. Pull all the cobble and get lots of xp along with smooth stone, what do I do with so much. Make it fancy and I have good blocks to make my house look nice.
honestly killing mobs is way more effective than I gave credit. A lot of the time when i start a new world i just grab one piece of iron for a shield and just adventure killing cows and grabbing sugar cane at day and killing all the hostiles at night and by the time I've found a base location, im almost at level 30 and ready to enchant
Finally got all diamond armor with mending and diamond tools with mending and fortune 3 pick..and using horses and a dog army. Fishing is great xp builds fast. And all the saddles you need.
I’ve found fishing, while not being the most interactive experience, a very reliable source of xp. You can also disenchant any fishing rods or bows that you get for even more xp
Is actually the best I have some mob spawners farm and actually is better to fish bonus enchanted books make it worth it
Ahh, grinding fish I'd amazing!!!! I have managed to enchant so much stuff using the XP from a good fishing hole 👍👍👍👍👍
It's okay for XP, but brilliant as something to do while you're planning out what to do next.
Not to mention the enchanted books you can fish up too. Even if the exp is varied, the chance to fish up mending books is epic.
I use fishing to repair mending equipment between runs
My favorite way to get exp is mining sculk in ancient citys, I get about 60-70 levels after mining it all
thats an amazing way!!
It is boring tho
@@ishanballa8017 you also get a lot of loot while doing it, so i would say it’s worth it
“Early game”
It's not really early game
For the early game I tend to do a lot of fishing. It's a bit boring sometimes but there are a number of advantages.
1: XP from the fishing itself.
2: You get enchanted books, bows and fishing rods. These can be used or combined on an anvil, or disenchanted for xp.
3: If you keep all of the fish you fish up you can level up a fisherman village (especially if you cured them). This unlocks a boat trade, which allows you to convert wood to emeralds.
I'll admit that you really do need an anvil to make much use of the books, so maybe its not really "early" game. But certainly something that could follow the smelting iron from stony peaks method.
You forgot another advantage, food!
My favourite method is absolutely trading for Glass w/ librarians, crafting it into Glass panes and selling them back to Cartographers :)
you can also trade with Clerics since sometimes they take glass bottles
When trading for XP you can always make a fletching table and trade sticks with the fletcher. Very simple, cheap and renewable. You could even get multiple fletchers and you'd get profits all day long.
My favorite easy xp farm is setting up next to a deep body of water and farming kelp. Dry them out in furnace and recycle the kelps blocks as fuel and keep farming kelp.
Mining quartz in the nether is really good too; you can jump from level 27 to 30 in less than a minute
Unless your nether portal spawns in the middle of a massive basalt Delta, like it always does.
I just started playing on a new server, and I got tons of experience just mining skulk. The hard part is removing the shriekers, but after that, you can get tons of levels pretty quickly.
I like making a zombie pit, turtle eggs are the best bait of course but trapping a villager instead also works.
Thats a smart one!!
turtle eggs are..not really early game, because you need silk touch to mine them. trapping a villager is a pretty hard task (well at least for me).
@@bintiq9295 ...
I usually just stick them in a boat and hope a second villager doesn't jump in before I can row away.
@@bintiq9295 Put a bed with the pillow over a hole. Villager sleeps, break bed, villager in hole.
For the outpost, take a trap door and place it on the ceiling of the entrance to the outpost so when it is opened it covers the top half of the door.

actually 🤓👆ancient debris gives 2 experience points meanwhile cactus gives 1 after being smelted. though cactus can be easily obtained early game.
My favourite is definitely villager trading. Get an iron axe, craft some sticks, and make Xp and emeralds.
I love this kind of content. Even though I’m not new to the game. I love sharing videos like this with new players, to help
Cool, but accumulating XP early game on purpose kinda seems like a fools errand. It's useless until you can enchant and your going to die a lot. I would just focus on diamonds and a Mending villager.

For me, the easiest and safest way is to mine for nether quartz as it give tons of xp.
Maybe not the safest but I use it on almost every world to get to level 40
I tried that, but I died a ton from ghasts and magma cubes.
what about quartz mining ... its pretty good and it gives quite a decent bit of xp honestly im surprised he didnt mention it in the video
Instead of selling wheat, you can sell sticks. You just need to farm wood.
It almost makes me feel bad when I sell a village back to the people who lived in it before I tore it down.
Farm bamboo instead as it grows quicker. Just have access to iron because you’re going to kill a lot of swords.
Sell them to fletchers
What about just mining coal or, even better, going into the nether and mining nether quartz which is also a great early game building block?
I'd argue copper is better then coal and iron. Cos one block drops usually more then one copper.
And yes, quartz is the way to go. Nether wastes are pretty safe anyway.
I'm in an early game world rn so very appreciated!
Fishing early game is a grind but valuable to invest in early game.

Wattles, what is wrong with you? You forgot one source of easy XP at the beginning: COAL!
Always rely on coal to get safe and easy XP!!
I definitely like going go fishing a lot of the time, especially with how easy it can be to build a fishing spot wherever you go+ a big bonus if you have a villager you can spam your fish at
Fishing is my go-to early game. Easy to get lots of XP, Food, Enchantment Books, and an OP Bow.

Nice easy one is to use dark oak or spruce trees and create giant trees cut them down and convert them to sticks and sell to a fletcher. You get so many sticks from one harvest you could get a lot of gems and then turn around and buy food or equipment from others and all that will give you xp. Do that a couple times and you could easily get to 10 to 20 levels if you do it right.
In my opinion, absolutely definitely surely the best way to gain XP not only in the early game but always is, pig breeding just a carrot farm (better if automate it with villagers) and a big area for so many pigs and breed them, this method quickly gives you so much XP by breeding them and even more by killing them and consistently good food source ✌️
thats super smart!
Yep, also chickens, cows, sheep, even rabbits. All the livestock are great for early game xp, most drop something tradable, get a butcher, fletcher, leather worker etc and you’re golden
My favorite ways are mining coal, breeding livestock, and growing crop farms.
I think fishing is the most efficient method for grinding XP, however enderman farm also is good. Depends to you.
Enderman farm is by no means "early game"
I've always seen early game as defensive: mob-proofing home base and a nearby trading village, with middle game only starting when you're fully tooled up and ready to enter the nether. I guess it's possible to go on the attack in early game, but don't tell me you survive for very long in a tin hat and cowhide wellies.
i would argue that a spawner farm could be considered early game considering that the bare minimum materials for it are literally two buckets of water and fists to dig (a pick would be ideal obviously). but yeah done spawners can just be hanging out at cave entrances occasionally and you just did your 9x9x5 and you can bring them over. don’t even need to drop them really so no dire need for the soul sand if you don’t have it. also fishing can be really nice especially if you can pull a god rod and just sit in the rain and start reeling in the profit
Early early, I would do the pigmen farm. You can make it safer by building a real house from cobblestone and then having a small pitfall trap for the pigmen. After that, a raid farm can double as a good enough xp farm to get you through the rest of the game
When I start a new world my first real XP source is always a mob farm. Put it high up and the XP will rain down on you, plus useful drops like armor, weapons, and bones.
Oh sweet I was literally just looking this up yesterday
- trading is a really great idea if you make a mega spruce tree farm and sell sticks to fletchers!
- now that caves are so big and open, dungeons have become much easier to find (i usually find one 2 to 3 hours after starting a new world in 1.18+)
- mining nether quartz is also a very good early game way of getting xp!
honestly, breeding grind is pretty good too. With enough seeds you can make a pretty solid cow farm where you get xp from breeding, killing the cows, cooking the meat in a furnace and you get leather which you can use for an enchanting set up.
what you could do is get a stick trade to get plenty of emeralds. Then get a cleric and level him up until he trades you enchantment bottles. Then you get the exp from the trades itself and the enchantment bottles.
For the trading part: Get a few fishermen and make a string duper, every 3 seconds you get a stack of string and fishermen do 20 string for 1 emerald, this could also be done with fletchers once you level them up a bit.
Honestly setting up a quick iron farm then trading with blacksmiths is the best way to get xp for me (I use Ianxofours iron farm)
feedback. Method 1. use a shield 2. mine sculk blocks on 1.19.0 (not .1), just need the biome, not the city 3.use mob spawner or cave spider farm 4. not bad, current wr method for full iron 15 levels. 5. certain Advancements give you xp (all nether biomes is a good one)
i regularly mine coal and fish when i need to get xp, i also farm at night and use a cow farm! mining coal is my favorite because they have great big veins and its fun, quick, & safe!
I got a double chest of logs and built a double mob spawner without spiders and two floors. It took me some time to get the wood to build it, and two hours placing blocks, but now it's infinity XP and bonemeal
Gnembon has some primitive mob farm designs that are easy to make early game, so it's not a bad strategy.
I find adding a double-chest and hoppers to two furnaces is a great way to get xp. It’s great because you don’t have to wait for it, and you can die many times before claiming the xp, just pull an item from the furnace whenever you are ready to enchant.
But you do have to continually fill it with food/ores to build it up.
I combine smelting copper (it’s usually really easy to find in abundance) and villager trading. Also if you mine while smelting you collect blocks for later builds. 🙂
A lucky skeleton spawner a few blocks near my base carried me early game ngl. Was able to make a simple enough skeleton spawner farm and that was tons of loot+exp
Amazing video as usual
heyo, you are my favorite minecraft lets player. happy for the next video
thank ya!!!
This is really helpfull, i mean this guy's the reason why my surviival world on minecraft has lasted Till now
You know, when you say "it's your boi" I always think of Raid Shadow Legends from Mad Lad videos reprogramming me. XD
Yes! Thank you, wattles. I am playing on a new server and need xp fast.
I’m definitely not watching this when I know that I have full *enchanted* netherite and stacks of diamonds..
I dunno you all but i get so much XP from getting ores from the caves.
And when you get to the nether, you can mine quartz which gives a ton of XP quickly. And honestly, nether wastes are pretty safe while also the best biome to exp in early game.
You eventually mine all the Quartz in an area. But if you’re in the nether just build Ianxofour’s gold farm.
@@Bob_Smith19 This is for early game only. There's too much quartz to be able to finish it even after hours.
The best way to get XP was the furnai before it got patched at least for me. Now I like to grow pumkins and watermelons and sell them to my converted zombie villager farmers. You can get a lot of XP that way. And without getting killed
I would argue a non automatic bamboo farm could be considered early game. If you find bamboo, and a village, you could farm the bamboo a lot, you could make many sticks, and trade with villagers consistently. Specifically the fletcher. The trick to it is literally planting hundreds of bamboo, and then breaking only the second block going up once the bamboo has grown big. I'll warn you that this can get boring. However, it is technically early game.
I always go into the nether, hit a pigman, then just build up two blocks so they can't reach. Plus I can jump down or run if there's ghasts. Also mining quartz is great
Ghasts can't break cobblestone, so you could make a little shieldy roof for protection.
💥Honestly I've found mining nether quartz another really fast and easy way to get XP. 💥 Great video Wattles, love your stuff. 💥
You can get a bunch of separated fletchers and just keep trading sticks as long as you can sustainably obtain wood
Thanks this really helps me in my new survival world.
For me, even though it can be not so easy to find I always try to build a spawner xp farm, materials are not too hard to find and it's a pretty fast build. Other than that I find the trading method the easiest and fastest one! And it's super useful to get great items at the same time
I usually build a mob farm up the skies with two layers of spawning platforms and some trapdoors to prevent spider spawn. I takes some time to build and get enough wood, but after it's set up, it's pretty fast to get level 30 (I believe it takes 10' to go from 0 to 30)
eexcuuuuse me ~princess~ youtube, why am I NOT subscribed to wattles all the sudden!? thanks for the reminder for me to check.
My go to is a simple spawner farm. If it’s zombies you don’t even need to do any funneling, just let them find you where they can’t reach you.
chicken farms are good, you can 100% automate them for the purposes of xp generation moreorless by just adding an auto-renewable fuel source (ie, bamboo or kelp farm). Infinite decent food, infinite xp, and no need to even do anything except grab chicken. Toss a villager in to trade the raw chicken with and you can generate emeralds.
I suppose you could do the same with a fish-mob cooker, where the fish get yeeted by bubble columns into cobwebs and suffocate, their dead bodies getting pushed to a collector when they fall out. That would compress the farm by eliminating the growth timer.
Every world I start I try to get farms especially potatoes because they drop up to 3 from 1 and then I can trade with a farmer villager and that gives pretty good xp and I love the smelting ores idea
I prefer a variation of the outpost method. Run into the structure, and place one block in the 2x1 doorway. Now they can't get in, but will run towards it when they see you. Move to the side when they shoot, then smack them. Also just very satisfying to steal their home when the outnumber you like 20-1. You can even make it a little base with a mine, and do smelting at the same time.
Fact: wattles is not a Gamer he is good teacher
Literally was just trying to figure this out last night and your video came out
if you find a village really early best to just build it up w/breeder, iron farm, and trade hall. will get zillions xp trading
I find quartz mining to be my favorite way to get early game xp
Instead of a field at nighttime where you can get overwhelmed (surrounded) easily, if you are near an ocean, standing on top of your boat and coaxing spiders and zombies over to you, they are super slow in the water and you can take them out easily and safely. If too many skeletons lock on to you, boat away to another spot along the shoreline.
Fishing is a really easy way to gain xp, especially in the ocean biome. And getting sticks from punching leaves and string from spiders isn’t hard. You can get levels 1-10 very fast, then it slows down a bit for levels 10-20, then slows down some more after level 20.
The process is even faster if/when you fish out an enchanted fishing rod with Lure and Luck of the Sea. Plus you can get enchanted rods and bows that you can use or disenchant (for even more xp).
And mega bonus, you’ll fish out enchantment books and so much food!
Probably mob spawner. I had one with a fish and kelp farm right next to it and a smelter for loot,dried kelp. But the guardian farm i have now is just insane but not possible early game.
Those guardian farms are crazy! requires a bit of work initially, but oh boy, the returns are crazy. Also a good source of prismarine.
I was looking for this yesterday :)
For me what helped me early game was smelting. I needed tons of copper and tons of calcite for a build so I headed off to stony shores and stony mountains and then mined and smelted all those ores.
Find yourself a place to settle directly next to the ocean or other water you can fish in.
1st Set up a Farm
2nd Get yourself some cows
3rd Mine near the farm so the crops have time to grow while you go mining
4th With the mined stone and ores set up some furnaces, also near the farm
5th Breed the cows
6th Fish while you wait for the cows to grow up and the ores to smelt
7th get the ores out of the furnace and craft better gear
8th kill some cows (safe the leather for books) and breed the rest
9th rinse and repeat step 4 to 8
Barely any risk of loosing the XP you've already gotten and it involves a lot of different things to do and enjoy early game. Easy as that.
Is the bedrock smelting technique still a thing?
I have no idea how but I remember being able to get a ton of xp from a smelter on a friend's bedrock server.
No it was a bedrock glitch that was fixed on 1.18
Bucket method to set up the nether portal and then going to mine quartz is a very effective xp method and safer than killing anything. Quartz gives a ridiculous amount of xp.
Loved this episode!! Keep up the great work
When I play on my phone (bedrock edition obviously) early game it's super easy to get tons of xp with the fletchers and stone masons by trading sticks and clay , it's suuuuper easy to do and gives a ton of xp and emeralds which I need
Was a really interesting video. Xp is REALLY IMPORTANT whether your early mid or late game. What's the best mid and late game xp farms?
Ender ender.
Blaze farms are also pretty op. Decent xp and unlimited fuel
imho the best exp farm late game is the nether roof gold farm. It is fully auto and you get more exp than you can pickup per second.. I think its better than the ender ender even if a bit harder to make. Also gold isnt the most useful but helps pay for rails.
For mid game i dont know. I always struggle with mid game exp after the first few tools are enchanted.
More of a long term way would be the Fletcher and with a little bit of curing the stick trade is a very good xp and emerald trade
Trading with villagers is op even late game for exp and enchanting
is there a way to share exp with my friends on the same server? like we get the same exp after killing a mob either by 50-50 or we both get the 100%?
Sticks is the best villager trade for xp and emeralds without a farm, or with a simple iron farm (a small one can be built in less than an hour) iron is a great villager trade.
I would mine down to the diamond level and strip mind. With the cobblestone I got. I made a wall of furnaces and smelt the cobble, while it Cooked I would strip mind. Pull all the cobble and get lots of xp along with smooth stone, what do I do with so much. Make it fancy and I have good blocks to make my house look nice.
Mining in one of those giant 1.18 caves can guarantee plenty of xp especially by mining things like redstone and lapis that are very plentiful
I just gotta say, I look forward to the Technical Difficulty screens.
honestly killing mobs is way more effective than I gave credit. A lot of the time when i start a new world i just grab one piece of iron for a shield and just adventure killing cows and grabbing sugar cane at day and killing all the hostiles at night and by the time I've found a base location, im almost at level 30 and ready to enchant
What bulk of my starting xp comes from is a combination of Killing hostile mobs, Mining and smelting ore/rocks, Breeding and killing animals.
I always enjoyed fishing plenty of food and you might get lucky with some items
Finally got all diamond armor with mending and diamond tools with mending and fortune 3 pick..and using horses and a dog army. Fishing is great xp builds fast. And all the saddles you need.
