Do you build your own automatic mob farming contraptions?

Discussion in 'Minecraft' started by Snowy, May 13, 2021.

  1. Sometimes you need to mass farm certain loot from mobs (like bones to make a bunch of bone dust for crops from Skeletons, gunpowder for crafting potions or TNT from Creepers, or ender pearls for creating eyes of ender from Endermen).

    One way to mass farm loot is to build farming contraptions and there are several designs for doing that. For instance, you might build a structure in the sky (with no lights, so mobs can spawn) and a row of dispensers or droppers that dispense water to push mobs off on the structure and onto to the ground, and hoppers at the ground-level that collect the loot. Or you might have a piston contraption that does pretty much the same thing. Or maybe you found a dungeon with a spawner and you redesign that dungeon so that it becomes its own mob farming with better results for a specific loot.

    I enjoy building these sort of contraptions. Once you build them, you don't have to worry about rebuilding it (you only need to build it once) and you can just leave the game idle as you collect loot or do other things. You can find plenty of guides on YouTube on how to build one of these contraptions.
