You can also incorporate powder snow into the skeleton spawner farm so they can transform into strays and get better loot. You just need a cobweb underneath the powder snow block so the skeletons can stay long enough to become strays.

You can put out a campfire with a shovel, and re-light it with flint and steel. That way, the campfire can act the same way as a slab when put out, so you can kill at your leisure, and you can light it back up to return it to being an auto-loot farm.

I used this tutorial to build an xp farm at a zombie spawner I found really close to my base. I also used comments to turned it into a "drowned farm, " so thanks for all the tips in the comments. As I kept playing, I eventually got the resources to cure zombie villagers, so I went back at night, waited for one to spawn, cured him and let him out. He apparently linked to a brewing stand in my base and turned into a cleric with ridiculously low prices (1 emerald = 1 ender pearl, 1 emerald = 1 bottle of enchanting, etc...) So I decided to give him a bed and named him "Tim" after a character in Monty Python's The Holy Grail. Now he just lives down there. It's kind of awesome. Thanks for the tutorial.

Did not know about the 16 block distance from spawner or the 120 mob cap. That explains a few past problems I've had.
Love the simple & straight forward info you give.

Just a recommendation
Put a redstone lamp on the ceiling of mob spawner XP farm, so you can just turn on the lamp if you want to make the XP farm stop spawning mob then you can just turn off the light again if you needed it again

Just started playing minecraft again after like 9 years, and your channel is by far my favorite for learning how to do things in recent updates!
Your information is always up to date and accurate, as well as you are great at easily explaining/showing things!
I never miss a video of yours now - Always something to learn!

Little note for players using this build. If you use the automatic version it still grants loot but does not drop XP

[ThatLazykid]

You can put out the campfire and put a bucket of water 2 blocks above the campfire and it works perfectly to turn the zombies into drowned. Cool thing about zombies turning into drowned is that they drop their armor and weapons/equipment. A lot of them drop with full durability too which is really nice. I believe this method works better considering that the campfire actually causes you to get less exp or none at all even if you hit the mobs

Another good thing is that if the farm area is the only hospitable place around for the mobs to spawn you will get other random mobs in addition to the spawner mob on occasion. I was doing this with zombies and got really surprised when creeper legs showed up.

As always, a great video! :) Those help me in my own MC-World, giving me ideas and also improving existing structures.

I myself like using soul sand water elevators to raise up skeletons to a 22 block fall height so that they are guaranteed to be one shot, it adds much more complexity to the farm but I find it well worth the trouble.

You can make the killing chamber a bit lower, so skeletons take more damage, and you can kill them faster. Also you can use sweeping edge, combined with sharpness 5 on your sword to kill every skeleton in just two hits.

[MrMunchman]

For a spider spawner you need a minimum 2x2 tunnel for them to flow better and you need fence posts placed diagonally at the end kill chamber.
FYI all, if you did not know cave spiders are smaller, and more poisonous.

[JanoschNr]

Spiders are also easy to farm, reg. as much as venoumus mine spiders, all you have to do is do the same but with those wooden window pieces at 1 block above the water, it hinderts them from climbing the wall up + if you use wooden signs and place them under the ending water piece while leaving 2 to 3 blocks space before the "Drop" they also can't get hold of anything and continuesly fall down in one straight line.

Glad you made this video, I remember looking up mob spawner designs and none of them really explained it clearly and concise enough, but here I understand the exact use of every block broken or placed!

[leilanpad]

when i was looking for a tutorial like this, all i saw were videos. i wanted a step by step instruction, but chose this one in hopes it would be suitable. it was more than that. your voice was calming, not too loud or too quiet, and easy to understand

I just now found my first monster spawner and didn't expect to find 2 groups of Dimond ores hiding beneath it. So glad I came across this video because I wasn't sure what to make of this thing. 🤘🏽

Thanks a TON this method will help me and my old lady out a lot!! We finally found a spawner and built it on our survival world and can’t thank you enough. Subscriber for life.

[kanaflux]

As the idiot that i am i destroyed all the mob spawners i came across early in the game, now i am stuck with 4 cave spider spawners, the most annoying mob of them all. LOL. As soon as i find a skeleton/zombie spawner i will use your design! thx eye

[babatundeson]

I was waiting for this! I have saved all my spawners for a good vid like this, thank you eyecraft!
