In Minecraft you can grow potatoes and wheat to make food. You can grow mushrooms for potions and trees for wood. Well, what if you wanted to farm Arrows or Ropes, or better yet, what if you wanted to farm XP? You can farm this and more, all with a Mob farm. Here are the steps to create a Mob Farm in Minecraft.
Step 1
First, you'll want to start by building the platform the mobs will land on and the device that will collect your resources. Place two double chests back to back, one block in the ground. Next, place four hoppers above the chests. Finally, place a slab of your choice on each hopper.
Step 2
Then, leaving a space of one slab above our base, we will build a tower extending upwards 22 blocks. Make sure this tower is hollowed out, with a 2x2 space in the middle. This will be the drop where our mobs fall onto our platform.

Step 3
On the top block of our drop tower, extend each of the two sides of the block outward eight more blocks, bringing the total to 9 blocks. This will make a plus-like shape. Next, build a wall two blocks high on the 9th block of each arm of the plus. Finally, extend this wall around the rest of the edges of the plus shape until a wall two blocks high is on all sides.
Step 4
Now placing blocks on the top block of the two block wall, connect the arms of the plus sign together to make a square. This square should be 20 blocks long on each side. On the outer block of this square, place another wall two blocks high.
Step 5
Then all you have to do is place trapdoors on the top row of blocks inside the plus sign. Leave them folded up against the wall. Next, place water at the ends of each arm of the plus sign. The water will flow to the 2×2 hole in the center.
Once the monsters start spawning, they'll think the folded down hatch is a block they can walk on, then fall into the water. The water will then push them through the center hole and down the chute. Finally, don't forget to smash any torches you may have placed inside the farm and cover the platform with a roof, leaving a space two blocks high for the mobs to appear.
So this is it ! This is how you build a Mob Farm in Minecraft. Assuming all blocks count correctly when monsters fall down the chute, they will fall 22 blocks until they hit the base we created. This will leave them with very little health, so you can easily finish them off and collect their XP while the hoppers collect what they dropped.
You can decorate this farm to make it more attractive or build it underground. As long as the main structure remains the same, you will continue to farm these creatures!
