XP Farm (tutorial) - Minecraft

[USNShr3k]

then how do i get a zombie spawner? do i have to use a cheat? right now i haven't used anything and it's taken me forever to build this, but i don't quite understand how to actually spawn the zombies

[Asight2see]

how do you get the mobs in there

[monkeyfarm]

@Asight2see build a mob spawner above and drop them in (see my 'mob traps' playlist for mob spawner designs.

[Liponeh]

Does this work for 1.2.3?

[monkeyfarm]

@Liponeh yes

[N00byAzn]

Please reply to this :D it'll make my day

[monkeyfarm]

@N00byAzn no. :P

[annoyingmelon100]

theres is a way simpler way find a mob spawn make it deep so when they fall they have like 1 heart left then use ur hands to punch them so u wont have to waste ur tools

[monkeyfarm]

@annoyingmelon100 yeah thats what i do in my 'lets play map. the crusher is just fine-tuning for those who did not make a 23 block drop.

[BrosifCraft]

@BrosifCraft description*

[Gaby201015]

hey monkeyfarm i cant seem to get the crusher time to work because the redtone torches light switch how can i fix it?

[monkeyfarm]

@Gaby201015 i dont understand whats not working "redtone torches light switch"

[Gaby201015]

@monkeyfarm what happens is the piston is always extended but when i press the button the timer works but the piston retracts instead of extending

[monkeyfarm]

@Gaby201015 oh, you forgot to invert the signal - fit a redstone torch on the side of a block somewhere in the line to the pistons.

[Gaby201015]

@monkeyfarm i did it, but for some reason it doesnt work, its that the torch that has the delay it gets turned on and never shuts back off

[Gaby201015]

@monkeyfarm i got it i had 2 extra torches that were keeping the pistons extended, thanks monkeyfarm btw

[Dynarider22]

Am i missing something? I built this to a t and by the way, amazing vid. Now with that said Mine does not spawn anything. I have no uncleared caves ect near it. Am I suppose to build a room above this? Iam new to MC so please help a noob, thanks....

[monkeyfarm]

@Dynarider22 yes this is only the xp farm... you need to build a mob spawner to drop mobs into it. i have several designs (view my 'mob traps' playlist. click upper right link on my channel homepage)

[Choosler]

How do you spawn mobs?

[Dobedy]

uhm..... the mobs won't fall down :/

[monkeyfarm]

@Dobedy i dont know what kind of spawner you built, but if it uses signs in the dropoff holes, change them to open-trapdoors and see if it helps.

[m24dan]

or you could turn the sound off :)

[TheChickenDonut]

Can you make a video for the xp farm you have now?

[monkeyfarm]

@TheChickenDonut this is the one i have. the only difference is that i didnt add the extra 'crusher' pistons, and i used a pressure plate instead of a lever.

[notyourmom121]

It would be so awesome to build your epic creations. but i have never found a slime in survival mode. EVER. also im eating pizza right now. :)

[BearDinosaur]

@ThetrueSorrowness me haha

[arathorn735]

i have a problem in a mob spawning basic video you 'd say that mobs can't spawn on halfslabs why it's function in my mob  trab with a mob spawner. big dark rooms are a time cunsuming thing and i don't want investigate so much time

[monkeyfarm]

@arathorn735 slabs prevent spiders. thats why we add them on the pads.

[lollinimene10]

@monkeyfarm everything works fine till the part you i have to put the mobspawers somewhere. Could you please explain me where exactly do i havr to place the mob spawners? and will it spawn mobs as fast as yours does?

[monkeyfarm]

@lollinimene10 i dont put spawner blocks... I build mob spawners (dark rooms where mobs spawn and fall down). check out my 'mob traps' playlist to see .

[Albinac28011976]

Way to go, do like the monkeys do.nice xp farm.

[idiota730]

hey i recreated ur spawner (its also the one captainsparklez uses) and 4 sum reason noting is spawning WTF can sum1 tell me wats going on its far away from my house so im always like 50+blocks away from it its almost 0 light level so its easily dark enough so wtfs goin on?

[monkeyfarm]

@idiota730 th problem us usually people still have unlit caves within a 144 block area. (or they were on peaceful mode)

[latenightlunging]

@idiota730 id stay in around 23 blocks away from the spawner. There is a chance that mob spawners can despawn after a certain distance away from the spawner.

[TheBomking]

good video

[treeckolf]

step 1:turn on trancelation

step 2: press this: 14:39

step 3:laugh your ass off =)

[minecraftdude3211]

my button did not work? i might be the update i dont know?

[monkeyfarm]

@minecraftdude3211 you probably didnt connect it correctly - buttons should still work.

[Yashendwirh]

Im having an issue of my weapons not being able to hit the monsters. The only thing that reaches them is arrows unless Im close enough to get hit by arrows from the skeletons.

[monkeyfarm]

@Yashendwirh i assume youre on a server- this issue is fixed in 1.2, so once your server is updated, you should be able to hit mob legs.

[hexxsnipezz]

Hey monkey farm I'm making a map but I'm putting 4 spawned 3 blocks apart from each other what kind spawned would you recommend and If your wondering its like vechs super hostile I was hoping to stay away but I couldn't help myself lol :)

[alexox346]

what texture pack are you using? It looks awesome.

[FiFlak5]

Hi . I'm from Poland .

I have problem. I add your mob spawner to this & I can't kill enderman.

Zombies , creepers & skeletons die in one my hit . but enderman is teleporting out how kill enderman in this machine xDD They fall 25 blocks down .

FiFlak5

PS. U Rock

[monkeyfarm]

@FiFlak5 endermen shouldnt teleport out unless you look at them, or you have an opening for them to get out. (unless they changed something since the last update)

[FiFlak5]

@monkeyfarm

I don't look at them . I have update 1.1 . i do test this on my creative world & it's not working . OK . thx .

I will think about it . xD

[annoyingmelon100]

@FiFlak5 i have a solution if there teleporting out make ur walls 3 high

[FiFlak5]

@annoyingmelon100

I have walls on 3 high . they telepotring out when I hit them .

[2much2die4]

@FiFlak5 Well if you dont want them to teleport away use a pumkin put it on your head then go into third person and just kill them and they wont teleport

[FiFlak5]

@2much2die4

Hmm . It's very interesting / Ok . I'll check this . :) . Thx .

xDD

[MrLUcI13]

can someone help me? i have a little room of obsidian, for the mobs, and i kill em with stone swords or my fists.. but when there are many mobs in this room, mostly a creeper explodes and kill all the other mobs, and i dont get the xp.. how can i fix this? (sorry for my english, its not my motherlanguage) :)

[monkeyfarm]

@MrLUcI13 thats why you need to build an xp farm like this, so the creepers dont explode and you get all the xp (BTW, theyre fixing multiplayer so the hitboxes will be below chest as well... so this will work on a server when 1.2 comes out).

[nathan09868]

@monkeyfarm hi could you tell me how to make that channel bar above ur vids

[monkeyfarm]

@nathan09868 when you're a youtube partner, you get the banner.

[ThetrueSorrowness]

Who else sees strippin in the recommended?



[TheANders96]

@ThetrueSorrowness me ;)

[iskateatheart]

@ThetrueSorrowness lol

[XXTheOutsider]

@ThetrueSorrowness That on a ton of videos.

[Charzard520]

@ThetrueSorrowness it's in alot of his videoes for some reason :/

[Aaronmeppelink]

@ThetrueSorrowness I know right.

[XxHuZtLeRxXpsN]

Guys i made this but no mobs are spawning i dont get it??? it is exactly like the one on the video but they are not spawning ????

[Shadow23455978]

@XxHuZtLeRxXpsN See his mob traps for diffent designs

[Inc0gnito0]

And, spiders can escape from this one, enderman to, so i think online the skeleton works on this one?

[Inc0gnito0]

where can i find a mob spawner that works on this xp farm?

[monkeyfarm]

@Inc0gnito0 i have several designs i've used with it. see my 'no water or pistons mob spawner' or my new 'mobs on demand' spawner videos.

[Inc0gnito0]

@monkeyfarm Oh, i see :) Thanks a lot :)

[mrgunnersLIFE0349]

your like the only guy i understand

[TheThOmAsMaRtInSeN]

is it possible to make it 3 blocks wide instead of 2?

[deleteaman]

You Should make a squid farm since you hate them so much

[99nightowl]

What is your texture pack?

[XDFT98X]

how do u get the mobs in?

[monkeyfarm]

@XDFT98X you can build a mob spawner - see my 'mob traps' playlist for different designs.

[Kristen3210]

ok so i have a problem, im on a smp server and idk but i cant hit mobs at there feet, so i cant make a successfull exp farm, can someone tell me why i cant? or is it a certain block i need to place?

[monkeyfarm]

@Kristen3210 mob hitboxes in smp are currently chest and above, but they're fixing it in 1.2... it will work soon. :)

[DerDracoX]

@monkeyfarm That would be awsome its really annoing not just because of expfarms the whole fighting is messed up..

[Kristen3210]

@monkeyfarm ty for the info, i wasent sure if it was just smp or just me for some reason haha

[Xezeon]

i buildt myself a mob spawner for the first ime now and it works great except the mobs dont drop down the "tube" as the should, have signs and ramps so they dont drop to their def. any ideas?

[monkeyfarm]

@Xezeon in 1.1 and some of the early snapshots, mobs had a jumping/spinning issue. in the last 1 or 2 snapshots, they've fixed that, so you should see improvement when 1.2 is officially out.

[microchud123]

BAD ASS PIG SUBSCRIBING

[dakotagreybradford]

where did you go to get your mods?

[monkeyfarm]

@dakotagreybradford /playlist?list=PL19AA4777BBF72­60A&feature=view_all

[TehKing501]

Dunno, but can't you use 2 levers instead of 1 lever, 1 button? That way, no intense, tricky wire. Just pull lever, then pull it again when your done. :3

[2much2die4]

how tall does the spawner in the sky have to be cuz iam making a differnt version

[monkeyfarm]

@2much2die4 mobs spawn only if theyre 24 or more blocks away from you (but can only drop 23 blocks without dying)

[2much2die4]

@monkeyfarm okay thanks much appreciated

[ShowStylezz]

@monkeyfarm Instead of a button with repeaters to make the signal last longer than a second. Couldn't you just put a lever right there?

[Metaljb97]

Congrats! You just gained a subscriber :D

[MrGeneralofPS3]

can the hole where you kill them be 3 wide?

[monkeyfarm]

@MrGeneralofPS3 sure i guess. you just dont want it too deep or it's difficult to get the loot.

[MrDailyCoD]

in 1.2 wont mobs be able to see through glass panes?

[monkeyfarm]

@MrDailyCoD yes, but seeing through glass doesnt trigger skeleton arrows or creeper explosions.

[TheSquidPartol]

@monkeyfarm I was watching minecraft creations and i saw some one steal you idea 

[tehvilbrequin]

does it have to be sticky pistons ?

[YoungCrafterHelios]

Are you using texture packs for the real life look?? it was AWESOME!!!

[aksel4o0o]

that looks like a toilet because it has flush :D

[NITRICIDE]

how many 4 tick repeaters are required to allow one hit kills?

[ETGamingCreator]

hmmm... i have a question why dosent that work in multiplayer i cant hit the mobs? :(

[monkeyfarm]

@ETGamingCreator mob hitboxes in smp are currently chest and above, but they're fixing it in 1.2... it will work soon. :)

[WieselLp100]

first i thought : pointless / waterless mob spawner

but then i realized that it wasnt pointless xD

[monkeyfarm]

@WieselLp100 that's good, you've taken your first step into a larger world. :P

[TheVoiiiD]

but how didi you get the mob spawner up in the sky?

[monkeyfarm]

@TheVoiiiD watch a few of my mob spawner tutorials (theres a playlist link in the upper-right of my channel homepage).

[mice328]

QUESTION: I know this may sound stupid but how are you supposed to get the mobs to spawn there lol

[Onekill1day]

MonkeyFarm  I wave a Question for you if that drop on to fences with above it who many blocks do i need do drop them. Plz Answer this Q Its a friends Birthday in about 5 days, So please help.

[monkeyfarm]

@Onekill1day i dont know how fences affects it. Without fences, mobs die if they drop 24 blocks. so why are you dropping them onto fences?

[ninja8bank]

What do you record with MonkeyFarm?

[XeantX]

i spawn in instant damage , spawn in mobs that are alive such as creepers spiders silverfish ect and push em in a hole and throw thousands of instant damage potions at them :)

[dicubillas]

so whats the highest they can fall so they dont die? ...... im just making it right now and need to know cause i made the xp farm before the mobs spawner

[monkeyfarm]

@dicubillas they die with a 24 block fall. since theyre jumping off water, your blocks should only be 22 high.

[blackhorn141]

I spend last weekend trying to get my own xp farm operating.. for whatever reason I cant hit the mobs with a sword from where I am.. from what I can tell, I build it to the videos specifications.. are there any common mistake I may be making?

[monkeyfarm]

@blackhorn141 if youre on a server, the mob hitboxes will be fixed in 1.2 (right now you can only hit them at chest or above)

[blackhorn141]

@monkeyfarm Thanks for the help! that is the problem then, I DO play on a server.

[tiband96]

Actualy, I think its logical to connect it to a mob spawner,but the problem is im not realy sure how I must do this...Could you please give me some few explications?

[monkeyfarm]

@tiband96 i have an entire playlist called 'mob spawners & traps (in the upper-right of my channel homepage). you can learn and/or build those types of designs.

[tiband96]

after you build the mob xp collector (xp farm),you must connect it to a mob spawner?

[monkeyfarm]

@tiband96 yeah, thats how you get mobs into it.

[aang454]

@monkeyfarm will you make a tutorial on every things redstone i'm not very good at useing redstone and stuff like redstone repeaters,powered minecarts etc.

i love your videos please make more!

[XBOXKINGxx]

I Prefer almost the same thing besides the fact of lava.I Use 3 blocks of water and the pistonsretract just like yours but then more push over the water causing the mobs to drown.

[mikeygandara122]

whats a mob krusher? is that killing mobs with out you hitting them?

[monkeyfarm]

@mikeygandara122 yes, or damaging them to near-death, so when you kill them you still get the XP.

[mrsaintrowfan]

is the tower downloadeble

[isengoi]

can you put your minecraft tutorial map in download

[mikeygandara122]

will this mob trap work for 1.1 monkey farm?

[Erwunschik]

I cant hit the mobs ... there was in the trap but i cant hit them i hit there legs but nothing happens

[monkeyfarm]

@Erwunschik in smp, mob hitboxes are chest and above, but theyre fixing it in 1.2.

[jerrylemons63]

@monkeyfarm what is smp?

[monkeyfarm]

@jerrylemons63 Survival Multi-Player

[kingrobot9]

Who wants to hug the creeper! It smiles!

[00minecraftdude]

hey, great video, but i have one question. How/where do i get the monster spawners for the trap? because i used some spawners from TooManyItems but they were pig spawners! so could you please help me?

[monkeyfarm]

@00minecraftdude mob spawners are large dark rooms where mobs can spawn (not like the dungeon spawner blocks you're talking about).

[00minecraftdude]

@monkeyfarm oh, ok thank you! :)

[ZeroSteel45]

@00minecraftdude Look up Modloader and the guy who has it has a bunch of other mods including one that lets you change the mob cage things to what ever fits your desire

[spring845]

Really good video monkey farm do you have xbox live add me do you now when it is coming out for xbox

[netanel123123]

hey

thank you for this but mobs dont go in .... i need to build it under ground ?

[monkeyfarm]

@netanel123123 can you explain 'mobs dont go in'? What kind of spawner did you build above it? etc.

[williamb970]

I put a pressure plate infront the machine.

It works alot better.

[landmined1]

hey

im having a problem with this. i can hit the mobs with arrows but i cant hit them with swords, do you know how to fix it?

please responed

[monkeyfarm]

@landmined1 if youre on a server, smp hitboxes are only chest and above... but theyre fixing that in 1.2

[MrSpenceroo]

@monkeyfarm Yeah, I have the same issue. Thanks for telling me though.

[landmined1]

@monkeyfarm

thanks

[tobitobide]

@landmined1 In SMP hitboxes are off to the top.

This bug will be fixed in 1.2

[109harsh]

dear monkey farm,

please look at the number 1 mob trap:

/watch?v=YgahXbmQOro&lc=ySGyta­5LMdmzPAgRAtdGVi9yt4U9Wsrtq0Gw­xoVQLkw&context=G2137c1bFAAAAA­AAAAAA&feature=g-all-c

nuff said. :(

Love Me :)

[videozhero]

THIS SUCKSSSS- said by mobs

[KoLdChiLLz]

Just built this last night just to get the design down. Going to transfer it over to my survival world once I figure out how to use MCEdit :) Great video and it's a shame someone else used your idea and design to take credit and place #1 in a competition.

[waliguig907]

Wow still having problems when I am playing SMP building this no monster spawn

[Spydermark0908]

Thanks for your tutorials, very helpful for designs, although I find that I cant do any damage to mobs hitting them below the waist, I stand there hitting them but no effect, this happens no matter what trap I use, any ideas would be great?

Off topic question, how do you get a chest to open with a block above it, like in this tut

Cheers in advance

Mark

[monkeyfarm]

@Spydermark0908 in smp, mob hitboxes are chest and above, but theyre fixing it in 1.2.

[rainstorm180]

@monkeyfarm You comment a lot :P

[TheGeniusCore]

20 people got stuck in this

[monkeyfarm]

@TheGeniusCore LOL

[BubbleRap121]

@TheGeniusCore 23 :L



[TheDevilsAssassins1]

hey i dont want the crusher so will i do the exact same but with out the top 2 piatons

[TheFinalattacker]

Oh and to add i am using 23 repeaters at full delay

[TheFinalattacker]

Hey man Love your tutorials. I have a question though. I built this with the crusher option. I have found though that the mobs are surviving with full health half the time. I have built a zombie one that is connected to a spawner. It drops down into this system. I hit the button and some of them are damaged but most seem to take no damage at all. Did i make something wrong with this build for is there something I am missing? thanks for any help you can give.

[waliguig907]

I still dont get it where you put the spawner at

[b4107]

@waliguig907 you don't....... the mobs spawn in the machine on there own

[JaMaCaNSnOvEr]

I noticed at the beginning of the video that the Enderman didn't die after hitting it once. Then I remembered that Endermen have much more HP than other mobs.

Using this, you can make the XP Farm a lot taller to filter out the other mobs and just spawn Endermen. For whatever reason.

[shintashiruka]

Hey Monkeyfarm, just wanted you to know that ill be starting to build this and your Mobs on Demand spawner on my multiplayer map. Your Designs and Tutorials are amazing, keep up the Awesome work!

Wiki seems to confirm that hitboxes finely will be fixed quote from wiki "As of snapshot 12w05b:

Survival MultiPlayer mob hitboxes are fixed, so they apply to the full mob, instead of only the head."

[monkeyfarm]

@shintashiruka awesome - so 1.2 it is!

[dougie28494]

could you tell me what equipment ill need like:

6 redstone torches

(optional) redstone repeaters

200 redstone

8 sticky pistons

you get the idea

[monkeyfarm]

@dougie28494 sorry man i didnt count. but you can decide which features you want in the xp farm (loot pusher, crusher, etc.) and adjust your build to what inventory you have. the only thing you really need is the loot pusher.

[dougie28494]

@monkeyfarm well i did it in creative and i died by messing on and i cant find it im devistated

[FLODDI100]

I can't kill them

[monkeyfarm]

@FLODDI100 if you're on a server, mob hitboxes are chest and above, but i believe that will be fixed in 1.2.

[FLODDI100]

@monkeyfarm Thx, I hope they fix it and yes, I play o a server :D

[MrKill763]

lol for da pig



[theforgottenxlegend]

thanks dude that helped me out alot now i can get higher enchantments i really appreciate it

[monkeyfarm]

@theforgottenxlegend great, glad i could help

[xgc666]

from what high do they fall death?

[monkeyfarm]

@xgc666 mobs will die if they drop 24 blocks or more. so you want to drop them less than that.

[xgc666]

@monkeyfarm thanks man, you helped me out alot, cause first i had one that was 40 blocks high, and all the mobs died all the time, now i know why hehe
