TIP FOR IMPROVING RATES = Build a small AFK platform 4 or 5 blocks under the main platform built in the video, and when u AFK here unshould get improved rates :)
The reason why building the AFK Platform five blocks below the killing platform works so well is because mobs usually can’t spawn within 24 blocks of you unless you’re moving, and the platform goes 19 blocks up. Thus, going down 5 blocks brings the distance between where you are and where the mobs spawn to 24 blocks, giving you higher spawn rates.
I dont know what ive done wrong, but nothing is spawing..ive checked its pitch black inside , could it be im in a chunk border? Did it on a different World and it worked perfectly so im unshure of whats going on..
Tip: put a bed by afk point so you can skip nights to prevent phantoms and unwanted spawning. Also, make a half block hole just above hoppers so mobs don’t se you.
It's working great! AFK platform down 5 is the key. I needed 5 more block stacks than listed. 0:22 material list 0:40 location 1:11 build 1st platform 1:54 build the water channels 2:29 place trap doors (or buttons) 3:09 trap doors to stop spiders 3:32 build the roof
I FOUND THE SOLUTION. For all bedrock players who are struggling- after building 2 of these buildings, the first on land close to mountain( wanted it close to my base) failed with 0 mobs spawning, I tried everything but couldn’t get it to work so I built another one in the middle of the ocean, this time I added 120 blocks high instead of 100 heigh (sea level was at 63 so instead of 163 I did 183) then I added 21 block height to the mob drop height. I also made the roof 3 blocks high instead of 2. Works like a charm! If you want it been better make it 2 stories with the top floor looking exactly the same just without water of course. Tip: place carpet on the droppers to collect all xp Tip 2 : put trap doors on the ceiling as well to prevent more spiders.
I play bedrock on the ps4 and if I don’t dig it out as deep as physically possible, they will not spawn period. I don’t know why mojang can’t get their shit together and fix bugrock instead of adding 3 mobs and one item yearly
Hello/ I have done some modifications. I am on PS5 (bedrock). IMHO The fall is 22 blocks (1 block of water and the 21 block chimney),. That is ok but it effects the spawn rate from where you are standing (killing area). All my calculations lead to almost half of the spawn area is ineffective when standing 1 block above the chest. To improve spawn rate dig 1 block down and stand on the same level as the chest. This makes the whole spawn area effective. Now the killing area is through a half block under a slab, at the feet of the mobs, no blowing up too. Other modifications: roof, block + slabs, no torches. Hoppers covered with carpets. Dig down the killing area by 1 block and mobs will fall every few seconds, one thing you need to sneak in order to see. When you do this modification you will see why. If you have not built this yet, make the chimney 22 blocks (where stated 21) and all the rest as usual (except for blowing up mobs from time to time). Mobs and Humans die on a fall over 23.5 blocks, so a chimney of 22 + 1 block of water is enough.
I'm just getting back into minecraft. Haven't played it since like 1.13. It's changed so much I've fell in love with it all over again. I had an issue with xp for enchantments and your the first video I found on an xp farm. The new wolf armor is my favorite thing now. My doggos will be even more safe!
This design works really well on my bedrock world, especially now that I built a little AFK platform 5 blocks underneath my normal platform like some of the comments have suggested. I was playing on easy difficulty which obviously has the lowest mob spawn rate besides peaceful and I went afk for like 5 minutes on my afk platform to go get some water and I came back to see a bunch of mobs in my kill chamber. Thank you for uploading and I’m glad that now I can get some easy XP
This farm shouldn’t be for Xp you should get loot from it which it is very good once you do the 5 block thing like he recommended do a enderman farm for XP
EDIT: Build your AFK platform 10 or 20 blocks down from the level you place the chest. Much faster spawn rates on both vs just 5 levels down. just built this on bedrock v1.20.50. It does work. however, 1. you need a lot more cobblestone than in the vid count 2. spawn rates aren't great (even with building an AFK platform 5 blocks below which you should definitely do). 3. don't skip the 3x3 trap doors on each square, i experimented with taking them out and nothing was spawning. 4. I suggest bringing scaffolding to help build if you fall. and a bed to place on your AFK platform to skip phantom nights. I have had no issues with creepers exploding like a lot of people are saying. just use the slabs as the video says to and don't crouch when hitting the mobs.
Tip: Place slabs above the hoppers to elevate the mobs, but have a half block to hit them. It also helps with mobs not being able to see you as well and makes sure the XP doesn't get stuck.
So guys make sure that the access platform, like where they fall, is at least 24 blocks below the spawner, unlike what the video says. It'll start spawning a lot more once you fix that. They can only spawn at least 24 spherical blocks away from the player. Like if this helps 🤟
Just built this today, works how intended for me, to all of those having issues maybe try a different location, I did mine in the ocean near no land of caves and I don’t seem to have any issues. I’ve had one spider come down so far but no more than that and plenty of mobs are coming down. Either you may have not done something right or the area you did it in isn’t mob proof. But this is just a fyi that it’s working for me on bedrock at the moment.
@@nintony2994if you are in a deep dark biome in your skyblock world no mobs will spawn. It is important to check to make sure you arent in a deep dark before building mob farms because there are no visual indicators and this can really mess with spawns
@@itsv1p3r Ooooh. Well I don't know exactly where the Deep dark would be besides maybe a Coordinate check. But just asking for a suggestion, what would be the best coords to build this thing then. I don't remember where my Skyblock world starts up on starting tho
@@nintony2994 if you have the seed that your skyblock world was started in you can probably check on chunkbase to see if youre in a deep dark, just finishing up the farm now, hopefully it works for me
@@Linux_Lover471 yeah I figured it out, it works really well but 30 levels in 10 mins isn’t true lol more like from level 1-30 in 45 -1 hour for me but still a good farm nonetheless
If you’re on bedrock v1.20.51 it is working just fine in terms of spawning and dropping the mobs. The only issue I’m having is mobs can hit you through the walls if you’re up close and creepers will blow up almost immediately. Not really sure why that’s a thing if I’ve been doing this design for years without a single problem
@@unbreakablediamond6982 I’m having the same issue now, when I first built it it was working good but now I can’t get more than 3 to spawn at a time over the course of 10 minutes. Most non farms are completely broken on bedrock unfortunately
Just for tips most of the xp falls down so I would build the platform 4 blocks below it or put carpet on top to keep the xp their and the drops will still go into chest
So while I was using this, a creeper saw me and almost blew up the bottom of the farm. I guessed that it was cause it walked into the lower area of the hopper, so I took some carpets and covered the hoppers. Does this solve that issue or is there something else I can do? Edit: probably add slabs instead
Thanks. Nice, simple and easy. You can scale it up a bit and add levels but if you're on a simulation distance of 4, there's not much point in going more than 5 levels thanks to spawn mechanics.
If your on bedrock i recommend just doing the trident auto mob farm this farm is not very good for getting alot of xp unless you want to go up and down every minute for 1 level of xp Another thing is make your killing platform 1 block lower or creepers will blow as you climb up. It happened 4 times for me
Im not getting anything to spawn. I make the initial mob floor three blocks above the water. Would this effect the spawning? Amd i used buttons instead of trap doors Edit: Turns out it was because my friend, we were in a server, was at a spider spawner farm. Once he left it, that d grinder worked prefectly
I'm getting no mobs, I've done it in a valley and built up to 181, any thoughts on why it's not working? I've followed thr instructions bit by bit apart from the cobble, I've done deepslate instead, am I doing something wrong?
I done some tweaking on this one. I built a extra layer, put water where the hoppper is so they dont die when they drop down. Removed all trap doors apart from the ones on the side where the water is. Lowered my killing area by 1 block so creepers dont blow me up. Im now getting a decent amount of XP, another 2 layers on and it should be even better. The only downside is due to needing water it takes more hits to kill the mobs. The reason i removed the trap doors, i read they can block potential spawns points for mobs, not sure if that is correct, it seems to be flowing nicely and spiders are not blocking the drop down. Not the best farm, but it will do for getting some xp abd gunpowder/bonemeal
My grinder wasn’t working and after watching/reading a bunch of tips for if it’s not working nothing helped me so I just ended up making a copy of my world and messing around with it. For me removing the trapdoors and raising the roof level up by 1 fixed it for me and changing it to peaceful then back to hard mode helped the spawn rates.
Yeah I tried this once a couple years ago only for it to not work. I tried it again last night, and it still doesn't work.... I don't understand why this works for other peopl
I did this but it did not work for some reason. The only changes i made was i did not place the trap doors to prevent spider spawns and i used netherrack instead of cobblestone to build. Has this been patches or something?
If you dont want mobs to tey and attack you while afk, remove the top layer of slabs and surround the bottom layer of slabs with 4 trap doors, you can then use the trap doors to push yourself down while you kill them
That kill chamber is not safe since these mobs actually still see you and attack or blown up. Replace the upper slabs with glass or any block. Remove lower 2 half slabs. And move hoppers 1 block high and these funnels is facing downward and connect the chest. Add the trapdoor below so mobs cannot see you while hitting their feet. So that's it
Are you able to fix this. Anyone know. It spawns mobs but only a limited amount no matter how long I afk and I only get like 2 or 3 levels after 20 minutes
Yea slabs would work. Anything you can do to break line of sight. If I were u, I would block it off so mobs don’t fall on ur head and build a “trident killer” @jcplayz has up to date bedrock tutorials too
Changes I Made: - move the platform that you stand on down 1 block and replace the top slabs with blocks. You’ll have to crouch to hit mobs now. - also put water on top of the hoppers so creepers dont blow up your farm and carpet so XP doesnt get stuck. - build a small room under the farm so more mobs spawn (apparently)
putting water on the hoppers defeats the purpose of the long chimney of the mob spawner. A quick fix to exploding creepers is to put slabs on top of the hoppers so it doesn't see you
I built this the exact same way in my world with deep slate instead of cobble and not a single mob is spawning in the farm over the course of of an hour. None have spawned.
If you follow this tutorial but make the drop 10 blocks shorter you can add a trident killer for passive XP. To do this replace two of the bottom wall blocks (two which are side by side) and throw a trident. Connect an observer clock to BOTH pistons and activate it. Stand about four blocks away and you will gain XP whilst not picking up the trident.
If you build this add 2 or 3 layers and it will be very good! Also beware the way he put the killing place the creepers could explode. Very good farm it works on bedrock and Java edition both very good would recommend!
I built it the same way in the vid except I used deepslate and over the course of an hour no mobs have spawned and they still won’t. How did you get yours to work?
I followed the tutorial except i used slabs on top of the spawning platform instead of torches and I didn't use trapdoors to prevent spiders and mobs aren't spawning.
Anyone else implement a trident killer for this farm so you don’t waste a sword durability? Use Looting 3 on your sword and just hold it in your hand while the trident killer gets the mobs, the Looting effect will go to the trident.
this farm works well, but when you said we needed 15 stacks of blocks, I got 15 stacks of wood, cobble, and dirt, but it wasn't enough, please count the blocks again next time
Also, I have noticed after building that the afk area definitely needs to go down like people have said but also, the xp tends to get stuck in corners and hoppers, so to avoid that just put slabs over, the hoppers will still collect everything
mine doesn't spawn anything, what i'm doing wrong? the chest platform is at 163, the spawn dark platform is at 185 and i've tried AFK in various points between hight 163 and 154, but don't spawn any mob
Built this on my nintendo switch works like he built it but it will get blown up by a creeper. To fix this, in the video he puts the hoppers and chest at his feet. Instead of that make your chest and hoppers knee level, and go up 1 extra block in the next step of the video. Now you just crouch to hit the monsters feet between the slabs. Also build an afk platform a few blocks beneath your killing platform. I stand at y163 when killing monsters and afk at y157. Works great.
Forbetter experience doesn’t use method against the spider but use the sand of souls,place it in the place where they fall(they can’t escape or block inside).
@@Adam_Sandler_frfrhopper minecarts can collect items through blocks, yes, you would just have to put a hopper minecarts on top of hoppers on a 3x2 track under the kill floor (powered rails can’t turn & if you don’t use powered rails you may need more than one hopper minecart)
I'm still not seeing the "level 30 in 10 minutes" on the thumbnail. I'm seeing some creatures are dying on impact, and I'm still getting some spiders to spawn. I built this to the specs in the video, and also added the AFK platform suggested. I can understand if there's a mob limit. Is there maybe an optimal period to be AFK? anything else I can add?
my tip for this: farm a forest and get 5 stacks of any log of your choice, that way you only collect 5 stacks of wood logs and get 20 stacks of wood planks to build the platform with
For Anyone Where Spawning Isn't Working. Build it *At Least 100 blocks up from Ground Level* for killing spot, to negate all other spawn spots for Maximum Efficiency. Also, make sure *no light* gets in. Apparently *slabs are bugged* on bedrock, so *use full block's as roof* then slab on top of those to stop spawning (Torches would work but slow rates due to how the game checks for spawning spots) I made a different mob farm utilizing Redstone Water Flushers, but *all general mob farms have the same spawning conditions*. Hopefully this helps some people. :)
This works well but I had to rebuild it does not matter if you put it above land or water I tested it in creative but some places mobs just don’t spawn for whatever reason so you have to move it to another place hope that helps
As of jun 22 2024 this farm doesn't work anymore. I have been AFKing for more than 1 hour 5 blocks below the killing platform and not a single mob has spawned.
Someone please help/advise me. I’ve followed the video EXACTLY and I even followed the OTHER VIDEO WITH CARPET. NO MATTER WHAT I DO SPIDERS KEEP SPAWNING. I used trap doors and carpet, different patterns including MAKING THE ENTIRE FLOOR CARPET. Nothing works, spiders still spawn, I even put trap doors at the top of the entrance of the chute and they still spawn…
