How to build an efficient mob farm
Here is a simple design of a mob farm that doesn't require much redstone but remains very very effective.
Step 1: Gather the building blocks
- 1637 spawnable blocks like stone (about 25.5 stacks)
- 840 slabs (about 13 stacks)
- 34 torches
- 9 hoppers
- 9 soul campfire
- 6 chests
- 10 observer
- 10 dispensers
- 26 redstone repeaters
- 3 redstone
- 1 lever
- 1 comparator
- 10 water buckets
Note: If this is too much blocks for you, you can just build half of it. It will be less efficient, but will still have amazing results.
Step 2: Building it
Advice: I really advise you to put torches on each layers, this will avoid mobs from spawning when you're building the thing.
Place 9 hoppers facing 3 double chests
Make a "slab ring" around the hoppers
Make a 17x17 block platform on top. Then add a border, torches and water as shown on the picture
Place one dispenser facing upward, 4 blocks higher than the hoppers
Make 4 lines of 7 blocks from all the sides of the dispenser
Place one dispenser facing upward, 4 blocks higher than the hoppers
Place one observer (watching top block) and one dispenser on top
Make 9 other layers of this (you can do less if you don't have enough blocks
Make a 29x29 slab platform around it.
Make some doubleslabs around the dispenser as shown
Place all the 26 repeaters on 4 ticks. Also place one lever and one ACTIVATED comparator next to it.
Fill all the dispensers with water
Create an AFK platform 92 blocks above the top of the farm. When you want to activate the farm, simply pull the lever.
