Helpful advice to farm mobs in Minecraft patch 1.18

01. 20. 2023

Many players wanted to know how to modify their mob farms following the new Minecraft 1.18 release. Many changes were made to Minecraft 1.18, including the way mobs are spawned around the globe.

Players have found ways to make farms that allow other players to get a variety of useful items. These mob farms are very popular because many hostile mobs drop valuable items like gunpowder and ender pearls. Below are some tips for mob farming in Minecraft 1.18.

5) Always empty chests

The mob farm will start to function and the chests that are used to store mob drop may quickly fill up. Players must ensure that they empty their chests without leaving any items behind.

4) Place half slabs onto hoppers

Players who are claiming XP orbs from mob farms should also ensure that they place half of the slabs on hoppers. This will ensure that the XP orbs don't get stuck in hoppers and allows the player to receive the XP as smoothly as possible.

3) Find evidence of spawn in nearby caves

Many players complain that mobs don't spawn in their farms. It could be that the mobs are instead spawning in areas nearby. To force the game not to spawn mobs in their area, players should spawnproof the ground and caves.

2) Use trapdoors only within the mob spawning area

Many players attempt to use trapdoors within the mob spawning zone, which results in mobs not falling into the killing zone. The reason is that mobs see trapdoors only as floor blocks, and they then fall into the trap. Players can place signs or other items to prevent mobs from walking into the trapdoors and reaching the bottom of the farm.

1) Light Level

Minecraft 1.18 has made the light level at witch hostile mobs can be spawned the main change. Prior to the update, hostile mobs could only spawn on blocks of light level 7. Since Minecraft 1.18 was updated, hostile mobs now spawn only at light level 0. Players must ensure there is no light in their mob farm's mob spawning zone.
