Minecraft Tutorial : Cave Spider XP Farm

(important) You need to add one more repeater set at the second delay for current 2! [ 6:10 ]. The timer mechanism works a little funny, after some testing I found out that for the timer, the last repeater can be set to anywhere between 2-4 ticks, as it actually doesn't affect the suffocation of the spiders, but don't quote me on that, I just find it that way.

For those asking how big the spawner room is, I recommend you watch EthosLab's LP , Episode 111 "Spawners & Stuff":

At around 19:25 he explains where the spiders can and cannot spawn, and also the dimensions of the room. Credits to him :)

And yes, I did come up with the deisgn, and crusher timing myself, purely by trial and error until I came up with the final time. But of course anyone else could do the same, so I do not claim full credit for coming up with this by myself.

Special thanks to Docm77 and Ethoslab for the idea of the cave spider XP farm. Credits go to them for making the farms themselves, but I made a version that is a little different in its own way.

I can't get my spiders to climb up and merge at the iron bars! They just won't climb! They keep hopping up and down in the water right below the bars.

[Novaflexz]

@Levitikai I'm aware of this problem, its almost unavoidable, but they will eventually climb (after a long time,) or when there is alot of spiders. Its quite annoying, I have to admit, so I'm considering changing the design to counter this problem.

[Mo0nShad0vv]

When I build cave spider xp farm they never go with the current, they always track me no matter what, jump and avoid falling into other current (from the spawner room)... Then in the elevator they still keep tracking me and climb walls, fight the current... I'm lost... What to do...

[Novaflexz]

@Mo0nShad0vv You can check out Xisumavoid's tutorial on this, he shows you how to transport the spiders to the crusher, or if you'd like, I may make a tutorial on how to transport the spiders to the crusher ;)

[MrSeptoman]

@Novaflexz make it please!

[Novaflexz]

@MrSeptoman Okay, that'll be on my to-do list, but I can't say for sure when I'll be done with it ;)

@MeiteniiteLv

No, cave spiders get suffocated by water

[MeiteniiteLv]

@eddine67 That's not a glitch, that's redstone

[kannibalkuntkadet]

6 ppl can't use redstone.

[eddine67]

Oh btw I find a glitch : If I keep the shut-off mechanism too long, spiders get killed

[eddine67]

Thanks it's the best grinder ive ever seen

[ExplictBlackout]

Thank you :)

[125tmack]

Worked like a charm, thanks.

[TubzzGaming]

Thanks man this really help'd me make the exp farm in my LP, and if you havn'y checked it out yet, you should!

[Levitikai]

@Novaflexz I did notice that after a while they finally started to climb. I'll just be sticking with the good ol' skeleton drop farm for now.
