Mob Grinding Utils — FAQ

FAQ

How do I pick which mob the spawner makes? Sample a living mob with a Mob Swab, then apply that swab to the Mob Spawner.

Does the farm need redstone? No - fans, spikes, the saw and the absorption hopper all work without any redstone wiring.

Where does the experience go? The Absorption Hopper pulls in XP and pipes it into an XP Tank; an XP Solidifier can turn stored XP into solid Solidified Experience you can carry.

How do I move mobs around? Use the Golden Lasso for passive mobs and the Dark Lasso for hostile mobs to capture and release them.

Why use spikes instead of a normal drop? Spikes kill the mob automatically and drop its experience, and the kill doesn't count as a player kill, keeping the farm hands-free.

How do I collect all the drops? Place an Absorption Hopper near the kill zone - it vacuums every drop in a wide radius into an attached chest.
