Minecraft 1.7 Xp Farm
Jonathon Burnside
Farming refers to the systematic production of renewable resources. The technique is typically used to get blocks, food, experience and other desired items. Specific types of farming are listed below.
Farms can be classified as manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic. Manual farms rely mostly or solely on the player to harvest and restart the farm. Semi-automatic farms use mechanisms to automatically harvest the farm, but they are manually activated by the player. Fully automatic farms do not rely on the player at all and usually use mobs or more complicated mechanisms.
Mobs will generally despawn if they do not have a player nearby; details vary by version, but in general mobs can randomly despawn if no player has been within 32 blocks for at least 30 seconds (sometimes 10 seconds), or if no player is within 128 blocks. In either case, the chunk needs to still be loaded for the despawning process to work. This affects most mob farms, especially those which depend on hostile mobs.
The reason to farm experience is to easily enchant items, or repair tools and armor. Many common experience farms require a difficulty above Peaceful, as they require mobs to spawn.Other uncommon farms use other ways to gain experience, such as fishing or furnaces.
A similar system can be used to adapt "dark-spawn farms" to experience harvesting: Mobs are funneled into a grinder to soften them up, then a killing chamber where you can take a sword to them without being targeted. There are several considerations here, the hard part is doing them all at once:
Even in peaceful mode, certain crops can be auto-farmed and directed into an automated furnace or smoker. The experience from the smelting is accumulated until the furnace is manually emptied or broken.
Given automatic farms for smelting stock, fuel, and disposal, the only real limit is how much time a player is willing to let a furnace collect experience between harvests. A full chest of items contains 1,728 items, which requires 144 minutes (2 hours 24 minutes, over 6 game days) in a smoker, double that in a plain furnace.
Fishing provides a steady stream of experience, food, and treasure. Catches include enchanted rods, bows, and books, which can be used directly, combined in an anvil, or converted to experience in a grindstone.
Fishing initially yields an average of 12 experience points per minute, which Lure III can increase to 28 points/minute. The rain bonus increases that to over 33 points/minute. At 28 points/minute, fishing for a Minecraft day (20 minutes) yields 560 experience, enough to raise a player from nothing to level 20.
Cleric Villagers can sell you Bottles o'Enchanting, providing a source of experience which can be stored and used at your leisure. They are expensive (3 emeralds apiece), but various crop farms (see below) can let you earn vast amounts of emeralds. Buying the bottles also grants the usual experience for trading. Each stack of 64 bottles offers an average of 448 experience, enough to elevate to level 18 from zero.
Unless you are not bringing the mobs down to 1 hit kill, you should have sweepeing edge 3 and maybe some sharpness (obviously 5 is best). Then you can have looting 3 so you also get more drops and mending so your sword last forever.
Blazes can theoretically give you 180000 xp/hr like guardians but I'm not sure if it's possible to get enough blazes to spawn while dealing with the other mobs (sorting them out and throwing them to despawn range).
For a mob farm, i have a Sharpness V, Looting III, Sweeping Edge sword. I have a big stash of Strength II potions as well I sometimes use to help me kill them quicker if there is a lot in the collection tube ...
I am trying to build something that I have build many times before but can't get it to work this time. It is the traditional wool farm: Observer observing a grass block, dispenser on to of it, redstone dust behind the dispense, sheep on top on the grass block.
But here's the problem: The update happens and the redstone lights up but the sheep is not sheared. I have tested it by manually clipping the sheet and that the wool is deposed into the minecart. I have put a button on the dispenser and it works. I have even gone into my creative world to test some thing. If I totally delete the grass block and replace it, the dispenser works perfectly. But if a sheep eats the grass, it does not. And when the grass grows back, it does not work. I put a redstone lamp on the other side of the redstone powder dot and the light comes on but the sheep is not sheared.
I'd say the dispenser is activating too quickly. You probably need a repeater between the observer and dispenser to give the sheep time to update with wool. If you trigger the dispenser at the same time as the sheep eats the grass then you are trying to shear a sheep that has no wool yet because it needs another tick to refresh.
If I put a snow layer on the glass would that change it, I have the afk fish farm underground, in a secret part of my base, trying to keep it and its goods hidden. I first tried leaves, but came to the same conclusion you guys did, that it didn't work.
So try it out, either run the farm for the same length of time with and without the snow and compare the results or do some manual fishing and time it, if you ever have to wait more than 50 seconds it would seem to not be working.'
I am having a problem with the Zombie. I have had 3 already and they all have disappeared. I named each of them so despawning should not be an issue. In the attached image taken at night, you can see that a couple of my villager breed so now there a 5 villages, 4 beds, and 4 workstations but no zombie. It works great for a while but then I go over 200 blocks away to the village were I am building a walled castle all around it (several game days), go back to my base, and the zombie is gone. Any suggestions?
My only thought is that when the iron golems spawn, they are somehow able to attack and kill the zombie. I haven't used or tested that iron farm but given how close the zombie and golem come that might be possible. (Yes, I know they shouldn't be able to attack through blocks.) Maybe try replacing the glass along the golem side with solid blocks and see what happens.
Minecraft, quite possibly the most impactful game to come from the 2010s, is heavily centered around player creativity in construction, as well as exploration, both above ground and deep below. Unfortunately, tethered to every survival world is the inevitable grind of resource gathering and farming.
Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to worry about needing to manually harvest your crops or hunt enemies for their drops, but instead you woke up every morning to chests upon chests of food and items? Well, you can, and it's much easier than you think! This list will cover essential automatic farms in Minecraft to take some of the weight of the grind off your shoulders.
Updated June 28, 2024 by Jacqueline Zalace: Setting up Minecraft farms is a great way to obtain a lot of resources without putting in much effort. As such, we've updated this guide with a few more of the best automatic farms that you should try out in your Minecraft world.
One of the big staples since the 1.16 update is a gold farm. Now, these are generally massive farms that are considered a bit more endgame, but there are ways to make smaller and less intense versions of them. The most ideal way to make one is to get into the Nether roof, an area that can be glitched into with an Ender Pearl.
Gold farms will have a turtle egg trapped in the middle, which will aggressively pull Zombie Pigmen towards it, only to have them killed. Since Zombie Pigmen drop gold, this is a fantastic way to farm a relatively rare ore quickly. The process is automated thanks to hoppers and chests.
Frog Lights may not be strictly necessary in a play through, but they're some of the most fun light sources and the sound they make when you break them is very satisfying. They're super easy to mass produce too if you want to give a big build a cool atmosphere.
To get all three colors you'll need all three kinds of Frog, each of which need to hatch in a different temperature of biome. You'll also need to set this farm up in the Nether, as that's the only way to spawn Magma Cubes, which are also necessary, specifically the Basalt Deltas.
You'll definitely want to make this farm if you want to build automatic killing farms later in the game, like for bigger mobs that drop cool loot. Wither Roses inflict the Wither affliction when touched by any mob, making them super powerful in confined spaces.
Place them in funnels for big groups of enemies to effectively destroy them. This farm needs to be set up in the End, underneath the Ender Dragon's nest because of the Bedrock blocks. It helps to keep the Wither in place, which is what spawns Wither Roses. A lot of Snow Golems will die for the cause.
Potions are incredibly useful at any point in the game, by providing Night Vision when scouring huge caverns, learning to Slow Fall in the End, or to save your precious loot when you fall into lava in the Nether. All of these potions require Netherwart.
Although just one wart will make three potions, if you plan on automating this process, you'll end up needing a lot. Now, this farm isn't automatic when it comes to planting the Netherwart, so you'll still need to pop them in the Soul Sand to start.
A Silk Touch Pickaxe is a good way to relocate some Sculk, which then spreads endlessly every time something dies on it. By combining this mechanic with a simple mob farm, you'll increase the experience output in no time.
New players need a quick food source, and this automated machine also works for carrots and potatoes. It can be used for beetroot as well, but will require more bone meal to fully grow it. This micro-farm basically uses observer blocks and dispensers filled with bone meal to quickly grow a bunch of food.
Wheat especially is the ideal choice since it feeds cows and sheep, which are both better farm animals than pigs due to their additional drops of leather and wool. Leather is something you will need anyway at the beginning in order to build an enchantment set up with15 bookshelves around the enchanting table.
