Dec 14, 2015 · Mobs spawn in dark areas. It's best you build a cobblestone room with no light source in it. You can build a spawner everywhere, even at a ocean. You might want to build that spawner very high above the ocean.
Basically, you are ensuring that the number of spawnable blocks within a 128 block radius of where you stand is limited, ideally, to only those within your mob spawner. If you build it at ground level, you would have to spawn proof (light up or half-slab) a vast area around your AFK spot in order to get the most out of your farm.
Dec 19, 2015 · My first attempt at a mob farm seems to have been too close to the ground. I wasn't getting very many mobs. When I killed mobs at ground level, more mobs would spawn in the mob farm. How tall shoul...
Jan 28, 2017 · Due to the rules Minecraft applies to spawning mobs, this makes the choice of a location for the mob farm a difficult topic. Farms placed on the surface can provide good drop rates during the day, when it is one of the few spots of dark ground, but has a sharp drop in effectiveness during nighttime, when the entire surface is dark enough to support mob spawning.
Oct 23, 2019 · It seems an inordinately high risk for something that's apparently intended to be a survival-friendly mob farm. I'm sure there's a reason, but my (admittedly uninformed) thought would be to build your "AFK room" either: at ground level near the chest, or; at the top of the structure near the lever; According to the Minecraft Wiki on mob spawning:
In this video, I show how to make the BEST MOB XP Farm in Minecraft 1.20! (Tutorial) This XP Farm & Mob Farm is simple to build and extremely efficient. It will give lots of loot and XP! The list of materials required to build this farm is easy to obtain and is shown at the beginning of the video.
Nov 8, 2020 · Also, I made changes to natural mob spawning that reduce spawn rates or make it harder to make traditional darkroom mob farms; only 25% of chunks can spawn a pack of mobs per spawn cycle, which still easily keeps the cap full under normal conditions, with passive mobs attempting to spawn twice as often (every 10 seconds instead of 20) to help offset their already low spawn rate; and mobs ...
Aug 17, 2014 · You'd build a big tower that is greater than 128 blocks above the ground, then you'd stand on it. You would have the mob farm inside a 128 block radius of you, but the ground would be outside that radius. Any mobs that are on the ground will immediately despawn, but the mobs in the farm will not.
May 11, 2013 · So, I'm building a mob grinder. From what I understand, if I'm too close monsters won't spawn, if I'm too far they will despawn and if I'm not near enough they won't move, won't fall in the flow and get carried to the collection zone. So, where should my character be, respective to the designated mob spawn area of the grinder for optimal yield?
Oct 22, 2019 · I have a few questions about the mob farm as described in the Basic AFK Mob Farm - Minecraft 1.14 - Basic Builds video from BlendsCraftTV. This time, I'm wondering why all the mob farms I've seen online - even the supposedly, "survival friendly" versions - are built as these tall towers reaching into the sky far above the ground? This seems to ...
