Building a Minecraft XP Farm: Quickly and Easily Reach Level 30

Experience points are essential in Minecraft for enhancing your weapons, tools, and armor at the enchantment table. With a well-planned XP farm, you’ll reach Level 30 in no time! You can earn the little green points through various activities, whether it’s killing monsters, mining certain blocks, breeding animals, trading, or using the furnace. So even in the regular game, there are many ways to level up. But what if you want to specifically reach Level 30 and have nothing else to do? We provide you with some cool XP farm designs that you can seamlessly integrate into your world.

1. Minecraft XP Farm with Monster Trap: Easy Start for Quick Experience

We have already covered building a classic monster trap in a previous article (How to Build a Minecraft Monster Trap: Automatically Gather Endless Resources) , so we won’t go into detail again. Read the corresponding article if you need help. This monster trap is a wonderful way to gain experience points in addition to resources. Due to fall damage, you only need to hit the monsters once, and they die. This makes the trap so efficient, and at the same time, you get drops from zombies, skeletons, creepers, and witches.

Our suggested design can be easily expanded by adding one or two more levels. Otherwise, the design is quite simple, and you can build it over the ocean of your choice to spawn the most mobs. We recommend this monster trap for beginners!

2. Minecraft Spawner Farm: Use Monster Spawners for Maximum XP

While exploring your Minecraft world, you’ve probably come across a strange room made of cobblestone and mossy cobblestone. These are dungeons that have existed in Minecraft for a long time. They guarantee that certain monsters spawn, and you can take advantage of that!

Monster spawners are available for:

• Zombies
• Spiders
• Skeletons
• Cave Spiders
• Silverfish (Stronghold)
• Blaze (Nether)
• Magma Cubes (Nether)

For an XP farm, one of the first three farms is good, but as spiders can be somewhat annoying, a zombie or skeleton spawner is most suitable. Monsters spawn in a certain area and can be directed into a collection basin for killing, similar to the first monster trap. If you’re lucky, you’ll find several spawners nearby and can use them together. However, you must stay within a certain radius for the spawner to remain active. You can recognize this by the flames that the spawner displays.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Build a Minecraft Spawner XP Farm

1. First, you need to find a suitable spawner. Either you already have or you can use a tool called Chunkbase to assist you by entering your seed. It will show you the coordinates and the respective type.

2. Light up the room and place a slab on the spawner so nothing can spawn and you can build in peace. Then excavate a certain area around the spawner, ideally 4 blocks in each direction and 3 blocks upwards. In the end, there should be enough space for the monsters to spawn.

3. On one side, dig a trench and fill it with water. This is where the monsters will be collected later. To move the monsters in the room itself, place water on the opposite side.

4. Finally, create a small collection station for the monsters. Some farms also use a waterfall to inflict fall damage on them. However, this is not strictly necessary for an XP farm. The collection basin works similarly to the regular monster trap, with hoppers and a chest. Carefully remove all torches and wait for the monsters to gather.

3. Minecraft Cactus Smelting Farm: Automatically Gather XP in the Furnace

As described in the introduction, you can also earn experience points by smelting items. This is especially handy if you’re playing in peaceful mode and don’t want to fight monsters. This design works in any world and is incredibly practical for gaining XP in between.

The design is based on an automatic cactus farm that you can then process into green dye in the furnace. If you want to automatically add fuel, you can also build a seagrass or bamboo farm. However, we primarily focus on the cactus smelting farm. You can also use lava, coal, or blaze rods as fuel for the furnace, as you prefer.

Minecraft Cactus XP Farm: Step-by-Step Guide for Automatic XP

1. Use an area of 9x9 to build your cactus farm. Again, the system works similarly to the above farms, but with cactus instead of monsters. On one side, build a water trench and let the water flow to the opposite side. At the end, you can again incorporate a hopper to collect the cactus.

2. Now build the cactus farm. You need to create an alternating pattern with building blocks so that the cacti each have a free space next to them. On top of that comes the sand and then the cactus. With this design, you’ll be able to house 24 cacti.

3. To automatically harvest the cactus, place a block above it with a fence in the gaps. You can extend the design infinitely. Each time the cactus tries to grow, the upper block is broken by the fence and lands in the water trench.

4. Then smelt the cactus in the furnace with a fuel of your choice. The great thing is that the experience is stored in the furnace, even when the items pass through. To obtain the XP, attach a lever to the furnace to stop the automatic extraction of the green dye and manually remove it. At the same time, you also receive your experience. You can either use or discard the green dye.

Conclusion: Why an XP Farm in Minecraft Will Revolutionize Your Game

With enough experience, you can enchant all your tools and armor as you wish! But constantly searching for experience is tedious. The right XP farm makes your work significantly easier. Either focus on one of the monster traps or build an automatic system with cacti and hoppers. Both work perfectly! Level up faster and dominate the game with an XP farm on your own server. Rent your Minecraft server and reach new heights in no time! There are also some better XP farms, but these are intended for pros. These include, for example, a farm with Endermen or one with Pigmen. We might take a closer look at these at a later time!
