The video demonstrates a simple and effective way to build an experience farm in Minecraft using a mob spawner. The farm is designed to work with stone tools and can be used in both automatic and AFK modes. Here's a brief overview of the steps:
1. Find a mob spawner (preferably a skeleton or zombie spawner).
2. Mine a 9x9 area around the spawner, with a 4-block height to accommodate the mob's spawning radius.
3. Create a water flow system to guide the mobs to a killing chamber.
4. Build a tunnel to the killing chamber, where a campfire or soul campfire is placed to kill the mobs.
5. Add chests and hoppers to collect the mobs' drops.
6. Create a ladder system to access the farm from the surface.
7. Seal the farm by breaking a torch and placing a slab on top of the spawner.
8. The farm is now complete and can be used to collect experience points.
The video also provides tips and variations, such as using a soul campfire to kill mobs twice as quickly, and converting the farm to a version that doesn't use a campfire. Additionally, the farm is suitable for multiplayer servers and can be used to collect experience points even when the mob cap is filled.
1. Mob spawners can be used to create an experience farm in Minecraft.
2. In Minecraft 1.18, mob spawners are common to find while caving.
3. Mob spawners can intersect with caves.
4. A torch only needs to be placed on top of a mob spawner in Minecraft 1.18.
5. Loot chests can be found near mob spawners.
6. Loot chests can contain valuable items such as music discs.
7. A singular slab of any type can be used in the farm design.
8. Hoppers can be used to collect items in the farm design.
9. A normal campfire or a soul campfire can be used in the farm design.
10. Soul campfires kill mobs twice as quickly as normal campfires.
11. Mob spawners spawn mobs in a 9x3 radius around them.
12. The farm design requires a 9x4 radius to account for the height of skeletons and zombies.
13. Mobs will spawn at light level 0, not at light levels 1-7.
14. Torches in Minecraft 1.18 spawn-proof to the edge of their light radius.
15. Mob spawners will only be active if the player is within 16 blocks of the spawner.
16. Multiple mob spawners can be used in a farm design as long as they are within 16 blocks of the player.
17. A campfire can be used to kill mobs and collect their drops in the farm design.
18. Mobs will drop experience if they are hit by the player.
19. The farm design can be used in multiplayer servers even if the mob cap is filled.
20. Mob spawners can still spawn mobs even if the mob cap is filled.
