Java Creeper Farms NOW WORK On Bedrock (With Modifications) | Minecraft 1.21 Preview Testing 

Very impressive. Have not really been a creeper farm fan but these new mechanics may have me building one after the update. Well done on the redo!

I copied this. Made a double. Nothing but respect and I thank you for the effort put in to making it the most efficient and productive farm in Bedrock! But I was going nuts with spider spawns. Kept losing golem to spiders and getting into the mob spawner for repairs is annoying. But, if you use all buttons on the ground the spiders are basically non existent! 100% creeper spawns! I tried trap doors and carpets. Nope! Spiders. Checker board buttons! Perfect.

Great update to the previous video! Nice to see a little more parity between the two editions coming… Not sure if it’s something that I would consider building but it’s great information in the functionality of the game and how it can be done!

Dude I absolutely love this video! I love the effort you pit into this and will fs be building this in my world, I built wattles farm and its decent but this is definitely better! Thanks

I would love to see a modification of the creeper farm with fences scaffolding and water that you have into what will now work on 1.21

Prowl does it again! Awesome job. Thanks my guy

Thanks for the update!

You're genius brother❤ i am proud of you❤

Dude! 🎉 Prowl does it again! Really excited for 1.21 now. Now my fingers are crossed for some basic code clean up operations so my son and i can play together on Ps4 without random crashes and corruptions. 🤞

Great troubleshooting !! We love to see some love for bedrock 😅. A full tutorial would be appreciated when you figure out all the nitty gritty details

So I have a question. Could you not still use your creeper farm that you released a month or 2 ago and maybe make it a checkerboard pattern like you have in this scaffolding then maybe trapdoor or fence? Then have a waterstream on every row?

HELP!!! I started building this, I've got one tower complete, but I am getting NO creeper spawns. An occasional spider AFK is at Y241. it's above an ocean monument where I built my guardian farm, so no guardians are able to spawn. I have walls of tinted glass. Roof is also all tinted glass. My only difference is trapdoor placement. I have it every other block. The pattern in the video wasn't working in testing. Got a bunch of spiders. I checked the spawning radious with the armor stand addon and my platforms are above the green and below the red. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Monument messing it up? I thought oceans were good biomes for creepers.

This is such a funny series of videos. It doesn’t work! It might work but maybe not! It works! Thank you for making these, super helpful to understand the newest changes!

Great video! If they did mob spawn parity, they'd also have to fix the looting bug to make the farms work sinilarly. That would nerf trident killers to the point that you would get the same results with campfires (like on java). Would you be cool with losing trident killers even if your farms were more productive?

Im gonna hate to have to change all my farms but also gonna love this change cause it's going to make it so much better etc and open more options

Hey Prowl, I was thinking about this and wanted to share. If you're using a trident killer on the farm, why are we still dropping them as well? Wouldn't it kill them off faster if the trident killer was directly underneath the tower of spawn platforms and thus increase rates a tad? When I've gone with this method I like to use a dropper underneath the killer to drop the mob drops down to the AFK platform.

Hi Prowl! I have a couple of question. First of all, do we know for certain that these spawning mechanic changes will make it to the update or is it just kind a of "what if we did this.." thing? Second question, could I, theoretically, build this farm tonight in my survival world and when the update hits, it just magically starts working? Thank you for your hard work in these videos; if you keep them coming, I'll keep watching.

It s a good farm. I rather build your general mob farm cause i also want the arrows and bones. In a multiplayer world it would be a definite.

I went back to the video, and it was very informative on how spawns and such work on bedrock thank you. Do you know by chance a way to get god armor on bedrock?

Hey Prowl! Why is the trident killer have such a long tube on the way down? Don't you want a short trasmission between the spawn of the creeper and the trident? So the trident killer should be more further up and since Impaling V (with water) one shots a creeper anyway, fall damage really isnt needed. 17:40 I guess my question was answered haha

I have this farm on Minecraft bedrock with 10 levels of spawning areas and it’s above sea level so spawns are isolated into the farm, but I do not get good rates at all. Changed carpet to checker board pattern buttons and it did not make a difference.

Built this with the trapdoors instead of pressure plates and i still have spiders spawning in. Any help for getting those pesky silk slingers out of the farm would be greatly appreciated

bro, i need a full tutorial of that farm optimized

The creeper farm with cats (Chapman farm) may be more effective. Edit: The gnembon mob farm (with slabs) would also likely be more effective

Hey it's me again. I was wondering does this give xp too? And do you have to use the Trident to kill the creepers 😊

im pretty sure in java theres a check if there is a mob there and then if there is one it wont spawn one there but on bedrock dont think that exists

Thank you so much

A small thought i had watching this and i didn't see you address it. Did you factor in the damage the creeper receives from the snow golem before the drop (i would assume the creeper is hit more than once). Some creepers may not actually be getting killed by the tridents.

I need help. I cannot eliminate spider spawning whatsoever. There's about 6 spiders that are constantly getting stuck in the drop down. I've gone through the farm multiple times and don't see spots where spiders could spawn.

We need a complete tutorial right now! Please

I think that some of these changes will bring good things to Bedrock.

In Java when you're out and about at night there's barely any mobs anywhere, how is it when you build a farm they suddenly begin to flood in?

I think I still prefer a general mob farm on bedrock. I normally start with a simple, manual farm before saving up the resources for the real deal with the scaffolding and water. But, I think it is good to test Java-based farms on Bedrock to see what kind of issues we may encounter since most YTer are Java players.

Can snow golems still agro mobs through mine cart chests but not shoot through them? I remember doing a slim farm like that a while ago.

By Iskalls creeper farm, don't you mean Wattles creeper farm? Edit: made comment after reading title and before watching to hear you did credit Wattles

Soo can I build this as of now on bedrock I know it’s only 1.20.7 or should I wait for update if soo when does update come out

I think a ghast farm is still more efficient but definitely less easy to build

Does split density work as well for the far

Whats is the simulation distance for?

Can you share this with the world because I did not fully understand the explanation

I think the reason that they don’t make mobs spawn in faster on bedrock is because my son still plays on an iPad 4 mini, and his bestie plays on a switch. Neither of these have the oomph to handle Java spawning rates. Maybe they could up it a little and also bump the drop rates to get us closer… love the follow up though. 😜🎉🤪

Does creeper farms produce more gunpowder than similar size general mob farm. I tested this and found its produced almost similar amount of gunpowder in both farms. So i think creeper farm is just waste of trapdoors.

How's it going brother?

Hey @ prowl8413 i am haveing trouble with this creeper farm design because i built it exactly how you show with the modifications and i get nowhere even close to what you got plus my snowgolems keep dieing

So the farms we will build in 1.21 will be more efficient then our current farms ?

Is this confirmed to work in 1.20.81? I am on my realms and I have tried everything and can’t get it to work

I know it's not yet in effect in Vanilla Minecraft but can I create it now in anticipation of the changes in 1.21?

on bedrock my ghast farm gives 4000+ gun powder per hour is that good

Now if only we can get iron farms like on Java that'd be great

Yippee! We lose our good farms, but gain so much for the future!!!

Do cats block mob spawns? Cuz that would be an easy way to get the creeper to move Also what if you just destroyed the trap door and have an "air block" so that creepers dont have to walk that far

Rates?

It’s nice that we may not need to worry if a Java farm may not work on bedrock anymore

Wish we had the armour stand mod on xbox .... or do we and i cant find it ??

So.. should I build this tonight in my survival world or should I wait for 1.21?

are we able to use this farm yet? or are the mechanics still in the works?

It’s not working for me any ideas ? I placed everything correctly

any idea what update is going to add the villagers nerfs fully

Will it work on minecraft bedrock 1.20 If I built it in my server I also builted another creeper farm but in that farm creeper is spawning very slow

Can u make a tutorial of the farm

👍👍👍

Download?

Could you build this on ground level?

The hoops we have to jump through on Bedrock lol... Extremely frustrating, but hats off to all the Bedrock Engineers out there trying to get this janky copycat to work even half as well as the real version.

I have a question see don't get me wrong but why to make creeper farm when you can make ghast farm on neather and it will give you almost twice the rate like 3-4 thousand gunpowder phr i just have a doubt about this ok

I'm so pleased that Mojang are FINALLY trying to get at least some semblance of parity with the way mobs spawn on Bedrock/Java....... now for doing something about those rates because they are making life a LOT harder for us Bedrock players. As for the farm tweaks, I think I can see another way to add more spawning spaces and that's to do with the outside edge of the quad farm. I'm actually thinking of putting another 4 trident shoots at the middle point of the outside edges, just so that where the farm currently bumps in, it would actually bump out and try to fit more into the mob spawning sphere. I'll have to have a go and see if my pc will just about handle running minecraft with that armour stand helper tool and see what I can come up with. This is really exciting being among the first people who will be designing mob farms with the new mechanics of something soooo simple as changing the location that a mob spawns. So cool!! Thanks for the farm revisit Prowl..... maybe you can build some other Java farms that just don't work on Bedrock so that Mojang can fix them less then a week later?!?!?!? 😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

So why does Java have better rates? Do the mobs just spawn faster on Java?

Bro can you make this farm only for simulation distance 8 please

For the life of me, I can't get Foxy's armor stand to work.

But why don't zombies and skeletons spawn?! Don't they have the same spawn mechanics as creepers?

Making creeper farm in bedrock by bedrock style is easier and has more success rate than java style.

does this really works?

I which i had a pc iwould be the best Minecraft player in the World

The roof on this farm should be solid blocks, and the farm should be in an ice spikes or frozen ocean biome. Solid roof so that the mobs in the farm are cave spawns. The cave spawn cap is much higher than the surface spawn cap, so with a solid roof you'd get more creepers in your farm simultaneously. And frozen ocean or ice spikes because skeletons don't attempt spawn in caves in those biomes, so you will only be blocking the spawn attempts of spiders and zombies. Less failed attempts means higher output.

How do I get the 1.21 bedrock preview on PlayStation ?

My raid farm in Java produces over 5k gunpowder per hour

Dude how do we know you didn't put that gunpowder in the chest cos on the video you are clearly in creative mode

But we already have a creeper farm for bedrock .... And its ground level ! You're a bit late to the party

skipped through it ... yours is too much and has unneccesary things like frikkin snowmen ??? wtf why?? All you need is blocks, buttons, trapdoors, 2x water and the trident killing machine at the bottom. NOPE

it wont work on bedrck for console, i build 5 levels and got 5 gun powder on 15 minutes
