If you've done this properly, since it's always dark inside the tower, monsters will spawn inside day and night, and in rather large numbers too. Additionally the stone 'base floor' of the ground-floor of the tower should rise that floor up by the one neccesary block so you will be looking at their feet there as well. Position your flat walking areas of the staircase so that if you break an 'eye-level' block of the tower wall you will be looking at the feet of anything that happens to be inside. There is a circular staircase going up around the outside of the tower, with about a 6 block long 'flat' walking area located one block below the ground level of each floor. Each floor of the tower is featureless, and completly closed off to the outside. (And this is important, also explained momentarily.) Each floor of the tower is 3 blocks high, thats one block for the actual walking surface and two blocks of air. The base of the tower has a stone floor as well. (A little smaller might even be best, 16x16 perhaps) The tower is made entirely of cobblestone. I do not suggest you make it any larger and will explain why momentarily. My towers' dimensions are 22 blocks long, by 17 blocks wide. My tower has six floors, but you can make as many floors as you like, and more floors will mean more monsters to kill. I walked a short distance from my house (about 26 blocks from the closest side of your house is optimal for the best spawn rates), and built a tower. This method requires a heck of a lot of prep, and a good source of iron (your going to burn through swords like butter), but that aside, it's safe, extremely effective, and unlike the other methods mentioned, it's directly reactive to how much effort and time you put into it, meaning you get more 'umph' if you give it more 'heave'. Running around at night can be dangerous, and you wanted the SAFEST method.The Ender-Dragon can only be killed once.Monster Spawners take too long to spawn monsters.The current most effecient way to level up for enchanting is to mine. Those are all good methods BUT., I think mine is best. | | <- vertical shaft - experiment with height Hope my description isn't gibberish, I'll get some screenshots later if this isn't clear. I got mine to the perfect height that I can 1-shot all the zombies with a stone sword (you wouldn't believe how fast this goes through swords). I made my vertical shaft high enough to take away ALMOST all the zombie's health. Leave a single block at the bottom so that you can swing your sword at the zombie's feet.

Make the bottom of the "tube" out of glass so you can see the zombies inside the "kill zone". Where the water stream ends, put in a 1x1 vertical shaft for the zombie to drop down (place this RIGHT AFTER the water, don't let water flow down the hole). Make a 1-wide hallway for the water to flow into. Put water source(s) at one end of the room, pulling every zombie that drops to the other side of the room. (And repairing it)Īnd farms will always be needed for the items.I made a pretty quick and dirty XP farm as such:įind a zombie spawner, punch out all the blocks around it, leave 3ish blocks of space all around it, making a big dark room around the spawner. I think that even in the new snapshot having an XP farm can be usefull for mass producing good gear.

Enderman farm (For the enderpearls and XP, even in the new snapshot I will have to keep using it or I will run out of enderpearls (I could probably add an afk enderpearl farming setting)) Blaze farm (For the blaze rods, but I have to kill them to get rods so I also use it for XP) Cave spider grinder (For wool and spider eyes, I have to kill the spiders for spider eyes, so it gives me some XP too) Mobs on demand spawner (For gunpowder/chain armor/bones to get chain armor I have to kill the mobs, and that gives XP) In my world I have 4 mobfarms, all could be used for XP but the enderman farm is the one I use the most. I haven't found a need for a mob trap playing the current snap shot, the changes to enchanting have drastically reduced the amount of XP needed. On my island world, the only way to get the eyes I needed to find and activate the end portal was to add endermen into my overworld mob trap.
