Mob Grinding Utils Wiki & Guide
A guide to the Mob Grinding Utils farming-machine mod - the Mob Spawner, Fans, Spikes and Saw, Absorption Hopper, XP Tank and Solidifier, Golden and Dark Lassos and other blocks, what each one does, how they fit together, and how to build a fully automatic redstone-free mob farm.
Overview
Mob Grinding Utils is a toolkit of blocks and items built around one goal: automatic mob farms that spawn, herd, kill, collect and bank experience with no redstone. Vanilla mob farming relies on dark rooms, water streams and fall damage; this mod replaces all of that with purpose-built machines that do each job cleanly.
A complete farm chains a few of these blocks together: a Mob Spawner clones the mob you choose, Fans push the mobs into a kill zone, Spikes or the Saw finish them off, and an Absorption Hopper vacuums up the drops while siphoning the experience into an XP Tank. Capture tools like the Golden Lasso and Dark Lasso let you scoop mobs up and carry them around. The result is a compact, self-running farm you design once and leave to work.
