FYI: This farm is for JAVA edition only. If you're on a server, rates will not be as high due to mob caps. Make sure you create an AFK platform like shown at the end of the video, it's crutial for the farm to work efficiently. Mobs spawn in a 128 radius around the player, if you AFK at ground level, you'll be wasting mobs spawning in caves instead of the farm.

TIP FOR PLAYERS!! if you build it in the air or over an ocean you get higher drop rates as the mob cap isnt taken up by other mobs. if you build it on land, light up as many caves and the area around you as muhc as possible so only creepers spawn
An update to my previous comment, the farm does still work however I noticed there was a few spiders spawning on various levels. Moved a couple cats, it wasnt a big issue. But in case anyones wondering why they might be getting spiders, The open trapdoors DO COUNT as solid blocks for the spiders to spawn on. That makes the 2 blocks to either side of the chute, and the chute itself, areas for the spiders to spawn. I just placed an additional carpet next to the middle trapdoor on both sides of each level. Been afk for a while and she seems to be working just fine now! Final edit: This fix also bumped up my yield per hour, not by much but by a good few stacks. I'd say im at about 20 stacks an hour now while afk.
@@JustXTE sure did! i made the pillar on the back of the farm so i had to extend the platform a little bit to be in the middle of the farm. But yeah, go up 120 for your afk and it should work like a charm
@thelastoutlaw7204 uhhh well, I would say it depends on your needs and how much afk you're willing to do. I don't need a whole bunch at any given time myself, and I'm okay just afking for a few hours or overnight, so don't see myself making more than my 6 layers I have now. I feel like 1 layer is probably gunna be really slow regardless how much you afk, so I'd say... eh, maybe at least 3 or 4? Again kinda hard to say without knowing your specific needs, I mean if you want a half a million gunpowder per hour this isn't the farm for that. But for general needs I'd say 3-6 works well. Maybe run an hourly test and see how much you're getting, and if you want a bit more, just add a layer.
Just built this in 1.20.6 Java, and it works pretty well! I built this 6 layers high, and at first, I was only getting about 2 stacks an hour. I felt like something was wrong so i looked into my farm and it turned out a couple of the levels in the farm had torches from when i was building it, definitely was stunting the spawns! lol. after I got rid of them though, those 6 layers (12 cats) gave me about 14 stacks in its first hour. I wont say its gunna output 100,000 items an hour or anything, but for my learner single player world, I'm pretty happy with it! Simple, easy to build, and it works. Thanks
@ColonelSanders-kk1up you do not need to go more. The very first level is more or less at the bottom of the spawning sphere around the player so you stay at the level specified in the video. All bonus layers are within that sphere
@ColonelSanders-kk1up no worries! Idk if you saw my other comment as well but the trap doors count as spawnable blocks, so to prevent spiders you'll want to add 1 carpet to each side of each level, just right next to the middle trapdoor. Glad to help, Colonel. I love your famous bowls.
@@zimknxckb4ck you can wait in the deathroom but it won't be as efficient since you also have chunks under you being loaded (meaning they will spawn creepers). this really slows your farm down. if you want to wait in the death room you have a couple of options: 1. build the farm really high up so that there are no caves or spawnable blocks within the mob sphere even if you are in the death room. 2. spawn proof the entire area with torches or slabs in the entire mobsphere around the deathroom.
If anyone is sceptical as to wether or not this works , it does as of the new update. I have a six layer version which id highly recommend everyone doing as it significantly boosts the efficiency per hour . Make sure to set render distance + simulation render distance all the way down and to set the game mode to 'hard' for ultimate efficiency. Hope this can be of use!
Tip: Please only mention the NEEDED materials in the list that will make the farm work. (example: ladders, up to people how they want to enter/leave the farm). And for construction blocks such as polished andesite, or stripped spruce log, mention that people can use a block of their choice.
Since I asume you built the farm while watching the video, I recomend you to watch the turorial first, instead of following it while building, to prevent crafting unecessery blocks.
Built in a multiplayer server works pretty good with 2 layers recommend building in the middle of the ocean for best results if mobs aren't spawning then your AFK zone is too high most likely even with the 120 blocks try going lower and lots of trial and error. You should have an elytra if you're farming gunpowder so don't bother building scaffolding and just build 120 blocks high with any block and elytra fly up there.
hej idk why but farm doesnt work (nothing is spawning inside it). I filled near caves with torches, all the islands, etc. too. im playing on hardcore. how to fix it?
I made 3 plants, at first while I was doing everything it didn't work, then I looked for the bamboo for the afk area, I waited there for 2 minutes in the afk area to check if it worked or not and then I went down and there was a stack of dynamint, highly recommended 1.21 thank you
I've had a problem where sometimes spiders would still spawn... I'm guessing they do right between the carpets and the drop chute, as there is a 3*3 place with no carpets. I've simply placed an extra carpet near the drop chute on either side, otherwise great farm !

@@dyls6262 yea, put render and sim distance to max, hard mode, and put torches everywhere around the farm, and check again if the trapdoors are opened, thats what worked for me.
Is it necessary for being afk on top?, like mobs would spawn in a 128 block radius so what if i am working on some other project(on land) which is inside the 128 block radius, will the farm still work?
Hello! I noticed that my cats get moved a lot from the creeper (i think) and some times i have to enter the farm and reposition the cats. It's ok if i put some fence around the cats or will prevent creeper from get scared? Thank you
Being that high up is the highest elevation you can go while leaving the least area around the farm for other mobs to spawn. If you stay on the ground you will get a horrible rate and it wont be worth your time.
I build up 10 layers of this farm my goodness the rate of gunpowder is insanely massive i just afk only 10 min it provides me 15 stack of gunpowder definitely go for this farm it perfectly works in 1.21 also
I built the single-level version in Java, single player survival only, hard mode, over an ocean, included cats, corrected the carpet placement so that spiders wouldn't spawn next to the opening, AFK'd at y level 120, for 1 hour, and acquired 95 gunpowder. I feel like something is wrong here. Edit: Found an unexpected light leak in my build, so I closed that and then AFK'd for 4 hours. The result was 403 gunpowder so not much of a rate difference compared to before.
@@krispykrackerr Well, for me, it was the landing zone below the scaffolding. I thought it would be fun to use slime blocks instead of just water since I'm already over an ocean, so I can jump from the AFK spot, land on the slime blocks, and go flying up again before making a big splash in the surrounding waters. But the slime blocks were not just on the roof of the tunnel leading toward the kill chamber, they WERE the roof of the tunnel. So, I replaced those with solid blocks and then put the slime blocks on top of those. I doubt you have the same problem I did, but still, it pays to question each of your assumptions about the build in order to narrow down the problem. Best of luck to you!
Mobs can only spawn in your 128 blocks radius, which means all the creepers spawning into the farm, cuz if you are not going up, there is really good chance of the creeper will spawn in a nearby cave
or you can just tower up each time lol. but im assuming everyone's building the farm for rockets for elytra, so if u have an elytra you can just fly up
If you get 119 gunpowder per 10 minutes, then in 1 hour (which is 60 minutes), you'd get: 10 ----- x 119 = 6 x 119 = 714 60 So, you'll get 714 gunpowder from the creeper farm in 1 hour of AFK. So title is a click bait?
It's a pretty nice, low effort creeper farm. I just have one piece of criticism. The mob spawn range is 128 blocks. You said you needed to place 120 scaffolding. This puts the ground around the farm well within the spawn range. When I came back the farm was surrounded with a bunch of mobs that filled my mob cap making the farm very inefficient. Either raise your AFK platform 8 blocks or even better, raise the entire farm around 8-10 blocks. I don't wanna rebuild the whole thing so I'm just going to spawn proof the surroundings of the farm in my world.
A simple solution is to just place torches on the ground surrounding the farm. Going 120 blocks ensures the entire farm is still in the limit, if we go higher then some of the farm is cut out of the spawn radius.
@Gorillo Thanks for the response. I went with buttons. I like placing buttons. For now this is a fine solution but in my next world I'll definitely build this farm again raised from the ground. Building a creeper farm is always a pain but this one is pure genius in it's simplicity.
like @Gorillo said, just lighting up the ground should work. you need that extra space below the first level to account for the kill chamber and whatnot. Though what you said is right on the money. Building it above ground is much simpler. I'm making this farm for a second time now and this time its over the ocean, I just started with the kill chamber and worked from that upwards. It's much easier. You might have to do some math to figure out the exact spot for the afk but its pretty easy
Hi Gorillo I have a question to ask you I built the creeper farm that you showed but I have a small problem the creepers do not spawn inside I play in a server in java edition. I did everything the same as you.
Do you need to have both sides of the trap doors open thats in the middle for the hole? I have one side closed like he did in the beginning but following all the steos I cant seem to get any creepers going down the water. I am in Java MC. Not sure what the deal is
@@jeremyboerchers6815 Or you can make your way up be a water stream, leave the cats down, "swim" up, and once you step on normal blocks the cats teleport to you
Broo, i just finished the whole farm and i was wondering why it didnt work, until i checked the comments and it doesnt work on bedrock (education edition). now im pissed
Tip to anyone using the AFK platform, using glass all around works for other farms so if it is not a inconvenience I would use it. I am getting around 12 stacks an hour with two layers doing so. Also a comment below suggested using the lowest render distance and that seems to be working as well hope this helps.
Not Working?...I had struggles with that farm, because not even one creeper would spawn...I tried everything...spawnproofing, afk height...BUT THEN I NOTICED I BUILT IT IN SPAWN CHUNKS...mobs can't spawn there!
does using oak trap doors let light in? i used oak trap doors and even after i put slabs on top of the trap doors there was still somehow still light in the spawn room.
This creeper farm works well! Maybe i did something wrong but i AFKed for an hour (i built two layers as built in the video) and only got 7 stacks and 10 gunpowder from it (1500 gunpowder is around 23 stacks). But i would still recommend this farm.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I had to destroy one I had just built because it was for an older version. Your tutorials are very easy to follow and are INCREDIBLY helpful!!! Keep it up! You are amazing!🎉
Hey buddy, thanks for the notice from that little “community friendly” bot, or whatever kind of soft act that was. Anyways, since you’re trying to be nice and give people a heads up why don’t you go ahead and not waste your viewers time in the future, and specify when certain farms do not work in certain version of the game. To be straight up, for your tiny head, put in the title or description if you are on Java or bedrock in the future. Thank you very much for wasting my time, and a real thank you to the people in the comments, who wanted to say “this doesn’t work on bedrock”. You will get an invoice for my 2-3 hours (I am not cheap). Nighty night white boy
The only thing i will add is couldnt you face one of the hoppers into the other and only use one collection chest? Im not great with contraptions in minecraft, better at it irl 😂 great build i like the old school windows pc "your waiting..." hour glass look. Ima try this one though i usually dont mess with hostile mob farms i break them easy...
@@GamemodeCreative-cg7li that's understandable more space to let it run and fill. I just can't sit too long I usually try to convert any farm to a drop kill so I can feel like I'm doing something and if I can't then I still check it too often to let two whole chests fill.
as long as there isnt light coming in the part where they should spawn youll be fine, just cover the trap doors with slabs or a full block if you are layering it
wow I got 4 stacks already and it's barely been 20 minutes. I made three levels so maybe that's why? I didn't expect it to work so well! Life changing.
Not me spending 3 hours crafting everything, build everything and in the end... spawn spiders inside. Its 5 AM i dont know what I am doing... nevermind, i'm going to sleep. I'm on Java 1.20.6 After read almost 200 comments, found people saying that doesn't work on 1.20.5 and 1.20.4. Waste of time.
I could never do that to the cats lol I have hard time killing witches at their hut so their cat wouldn't be left all alone, ik it's silly, its just how I play lol
Hello mate just wanted to clarify any mob farm will work above or below ground. You just need to make sure a 120 block perimeter up,down ext is fully lit up so no mobs spawn there. Hope this helped
I built the famr one to one and even changed the agk room height due to simulation 4, and all ove gotten in 15 to 20 minutes was a spider. Do i have to change something with the new trials update, or does this farm not work anymore?

@@ogulcanyldrm3808 nice bro you should make this farm on ocean or near on Lake that will perfectly on ground it's spawn rate are low
i tried to place water on a slab i got cooked and now i have depression.
I built the single-level version in Java, single player survival only, hard mode, over an ocean, included cats, corrected the carpet placement so that spiders wouldn't spawn next to the opening, AFK'd at y level 120, for 1 hour, and acquired 95 gunpowder. I feel like something is wrong here.
Edit: Found an unexpected light leak in my build, so I closed that and then AFK'd for 4 hours. The result was 403 gunpowder so not much of a rate difference compared to before.
i have a light leak but not sure why. everything is covered with a non transparent block. any ides?
@@krispykrackerr Well, for me, it was the landing zone below the scaffolding. I thought it would be fun to use slime blocks instead of just water since I'm already over an ocean, so I can jump from the AFK spot, land on the slime blocks, and go flying up again before making a big splash in the surrounding waters. But the slime blocks were not just on the roof of the tunnel leading toward the kill chamber, they WERE the roof of the tunnel. So, I replaced those with solid blocks and then put the slime blocks on top of those. I doubt you have the same problem I did, but still, it pays to question each of your assumptions about the build in order to narrow down the problem. Best of luck to you!
I don't understand why we need te get up on 120 blocks ? please someone can answer me ??
It is so that they only appear creepers
Mobs can only spawn in your 128 blocks radius, which means all the creepers spawning into the farm, cuz if you are not going up, there is really good chance of the creeper will spawn in a nearby cave
I really needed gunpowder because I got 2 elytras for my friends. This video really helped me, thank you so much gorillo
you could just use ladders instead of scaffolding for the people that cant find bamboo
or you can just tower up each time lol. but im assuming everyone's building the farm for rockets for elytra, so if u have an elytra you can just fly up
yeah i just spend like 1 hour looking for jungle biome when i thought about that
4 stacks of gunpowder in 11 minutes just for 3 layers is super efficient, nice tutorial
If you get 119 gunpowder per 10 minutes, then in 1 hour (which is 60 minutes), you'd get:
10
----- x 119 = 6 x 119 = 714
60
So, you'll get 714 gunpowder from the creeper farm in 1 hour of AFK. So title is a click bait?
As you add more layers do you need to go up more on afk platform? Ive lit up caves and have about 7 to 7 layers done right and its rates are meh.
make sure u dont have any torches inside the layers
@@mikesiez2547 the afk platform was too high. i went 80 up instead and insane rates.
i made this farm in my 1.21 world and i afked for an hour and i didnt get a single piece of gun powder. is there something i need to change in 1.21?
is the caves light up below
Instead of scaffolding you can use water elevator with soul sand. It's much faster
its to count the blocks
@@Ohjonas. Aye, fair enough
This is basically a reupload of your last creeper farm tutorial
so?
@@fitzplaysyt7165its ducking lazy
It's a pretty nice, low effort creeper farm. I just have one piece of criticism.
The mob spawn range is 128 blocks. You said you needed to place 120 scaffolding. This puts the ground around the farm well within the spawn range. When I came back the farm was surrounded with a bunch of mobs that filled my mob cap making the farm very inefficient.
Either raise your AFK platform 8 blocks or even better, raise the entire farm around 8-10 blocks. I don't wanna rebuild the whole thing so I'm just going to spawn proof the surroundings of the farm in my world.
A simple solution is to just place torches on the ground surrounding the farm. Going 120 blocks ensures the entire farm is still in the limit, if we go higher then some of the farm is cut out of the spawn radius.
@Gorillo Thanks for the response. I went with buttons. I like placing buttons.
For now this is a fine solution but in my next world I'll definitely build this farm again raised from the ground. Building a creeper farm is always a pain but this one is pure genius in it's simplicity.
like @Gorillo said, just lighting up the ground should work. you need that extra space below the first level to account for the kill chamber and whatnot.
Though what you said is right on the money. Building it above ground is much simpler. I'm making this farm for a second time now and this time its over the ocean, I just started with the kill chamber and worked from that upwards. It's much easier.
You might have to do some math to figure out the exact spot for the afk but its pretty easy
This farm is crazy. i tried that farm and its very good 😊
I advise you to build the farm in the ocean, because I had built it next to my base and it didn't work.
you didn't tell me I needed campfires hoppers or chests
@@owlperch3617 bro if you’re making a gunpowder farm wood and iron should not be an issue whatsoever
Hi Gorillo I have a question to ask you I built the creeper farm that you showed but I have a small problem the creepers do not spawn inside I play in a server in java edition. I did everything the same as you.
It will work in pocket edition or aternos srvr??? Pls reply
No
Could you just break the bottom glasses and place a slab so you can get Xp?
You can’t when being killed with non player objects
As long as you are there hitting the creepers at least once, yes you get xp
Do you need to have both sides of the trap doors open thats in the middle for the hole? I have one side closed like he did in the beginning but following all the steos I cant seem to get any creepers going down the water. I am in Java MC. Not sure what the deal is
so the creepers ai thinks that trapdoors are full blocks so they will walk on them. you need to have them both open so they can fall down.
Guys it works, just make sure to go into creative mode to put the powder in the chest so it looks like it works. 👍
u can shorten the water distance significantly to kill mobs faster increasing efficiency. 2 entire sets of streams isn't necessary at all
Wouldn’t it work better up in the sky? Because then it wouldn’t be effected by the mob cap
Yes but it would be annoying to get the cats up there
Not really as you can throw the cats in a boat attach a leaf and climb up scaffolding to it legit what I just spent the last 3-4 hours doing 😂
@@jeremyboerchers6815 Or you can make your way up be a water stream, leave the cats down, "swim" up, and once you step on normal blocks the cats teleport to you
I followed this exactly and it works great but what do you do when the creepers start blowing up. Its happen twice and I had to repair.
wym blow up arent you far away from them
Broo, i just finished the whole farm and i was wondering why it didnt work, until i checked the comments and it doesnt work on bedrock (education edition). now im pissed
SAME
bro, Im not done but im MAD
Tip to anyone using the AFK platform, using glass all around works for other farms so if it is not a inconvenience I would use it. I am getting around 12 stacks an hour with two layers doing so. Also a comment below suggested using the lowest render distance and that seems to be working as well hope this helps.
Also surrounding the area in troches allowed for a buffed spawn rate of creepers
@@SamOlson-d2b I built five layers and I’m getting nothing, any ideas?
If you notice You know?!: UA-cam Love Minecraft so UA-cam added Little Glint at the end of red play bar.
how to build it over the ocean like directly over ore some blocks above? Or like a certain distance like idk 100?
Place a lily pad then place blocks on top of it
doesn't work on 1.21 java anymore
fr?
Thanks bro
Mine is working in 1.21
@@therealslimshady1234 Bro I just did it with 10 layers pls don't say me that💀
@@rubag.s.3625 is it working 😭😭😭
If you build like a 10 layer farm where you start placing those 120 scaffolding for the afk spot, at the bottom of the farm?, the top?
it didn’t work for me how do you fix it
Bro see your farm under not a cave than criper spawn in the cave
Not Working?...I had struggles with that farm, because not even one creeper would spawn...I tried everything...spawnproofing, afk height...BUT THEN I NOTICED I BUILT IT IN SPAWN CHUNKS...mobs can't spawn there!
You're a master. Thank you man!!!
did it work in relm? cauese it's not working with me
Not working for me in the realm either. Did you manage to fix it?
I made only 1 level, firstly I get only 1 gunpowder and now creepers don't spawn, what I should do?
build it in deep ocean
does using oak trap doors let light in?
i used oak trap doors and even after i put slabs on top of the trap doors there was still somehow still light in the spawn room.
ik i used jungle
If I just make 22 of those layers I might be able to get 2 full double chests filled with gunpowder in just 10 minutes of afk
it works well for singleplayer worlds
It doesn't work for multiplayer?
@@nature_enjoyer88 no
Thx for farm.Creeper farms usually dont work but this works
mine dont work, anyone know why?
Doesn't work in bedrock
Quick question. If you build more layers to the farm, do you need to build the same amount up or does it change?
it doesn't change
does the simulation distance affect it?
No
The way he built it over land is about 354gp/h per layer in case anyone is wondering, it is probably faster if you build it over an ocean though
Yo thanks dude really helped
Does the creepers spawn for you?
I tried it again and it didn’t work😭
This creeper farm works well! Maybe i did something wrong but i AFKed for an hour (i built two layers as built in the video) and only got 7 stacks and 10 gunpowder from it (1500 gunpowder is around 23 stacks). But i would still recommend this farm.
Only problem I have is light somehow still gets in, bedrock edition. Not sure the best fix
just put normal blocks ontop instead of slabs
No so the mobs will spawn above it@@TwoBrainsOneTopic
@@truth_19then you could put slabs on top of the block
@@Purple_Zapper oooooo
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I had to destroy one I had just built because it was for an older version. Your tutorials are very easy to follow and are INCREDIBLY helpful!!! Keep it up! You are amazing!🎉
Hey buddy, thanks for the notice from that little “community friendly” bot, or whatever kind of soft act that was. Anyways, since you’re trying to be nice and give people a heads up why don’t you go ahead and not waste your viewers time in the future, and specify when certain farms do not work in certain version of the game. To be straight up, for your tiny head, put in the title or description if you are on Java or bedrock in the future. Thank you very much for wasting my time, and a real thank you to the people in the comments, who wanted to say “this doesn’t work on bedrock”. You will get an invoice for my 2-3 hours (I am not cheap). Nighty night white boy
AI
The bottom slabs on top of the farm ended up letting light in for me. I just replaced them with full blocks and placed torches to stop mob spawns
The only thing i will add is couldnt you face one of the hoppers into the other and only use one collection chest? Im not great with contraptions in minecraft, better at it irl 😂 great build i like the old school windows pc "your waiting..." hour glass look. Ima try this one though i usually dont mess with hostile mob farms i break them easy...
Increased item storage........
@@GamemodeCreative-cg7li that's understandable more space to let it run and fill. I just can't sit too long I usually try to convert any farm to a drop kill so I can feel like I'm doing something and if I can't then I still check it too often to let two whole chests fill.
can this build be made with the cherry trap doors? i can’t get creepers to spawn
as long as there isnt light coming in the part where they should spawn youll be fine, just cover the trap doors with slabs or a full block if you are layering it
@@Grubyygusano figured it out doesn’t work on bedrock :/
what if it isn’t working, i did all the steps
Same here no creepers are spawning
i like how you dont list all the materials needed so we have to stop building and get the new materials before we continue
Why isnt it working for me
its for java
wow I got 4 stacks already and it's barely been 20 minutes. I made three levels so maybe that's why? I didn't expect it to work so well! Life changing.
Not me spending 3 hours crafting everything, build everything and in the end... spawn spiders inside. Its 5 AM i dont know what I am doing... nevermind, i'm going to sleep.
I'm on Java 1.20.6
After read almost 200 comments, found people saying that doesn't work on 1.20.5 and 1.20.4. Waste of time.
i built it in 1.20.4 and didnt saw any result is it same for u as well??
@@sparshwasan486 mines not working in 1.20.4 how urs working
LMAO this is me right now LOL
the comment from @weirix just two above yours says it works pretty well in 1.20.6 java?
@@JustinNelsonMMG now it is working i just had build more layers to get fast drops
it doesn’t work i go 120 blocks above and none spawn, the moment i go down and check theres one creeper
are u on java?
does this work underground
if you build this underground, other mobs will spawn in caves and not the creeper farm so you will get less rates
so ur telling me i went 20 mins for iron for the lanters just for it to be decoration
Lanterns will always be decoration in 99% of tutorials
I could never do that to the cats lol I have hard time killing witches at their hut so their cat wouldn't be left all alone, ik it's silly, its just how I play lol
You can make a witch spawner from the witch hut and get other drops in addition to gunpowder.
@@ZacharyKentVT I never knew that tysm for the heads up
Works great i get like 3 stacks every 20 mins when i have 3 layers
Sir,
I follower u step by step in bedrock version. But after going afk for 20 min not a single gunpowder gained.😢could u ans why?
I built the farm too idk if it works ☹️
java u egg
Java only
Does the farm only work on the afk tower or also when im in the nether or end ?
Only when u are on the afk tower build a chunk loader to make it work all the time
Ok thank you
Hello, do you happen to know if this farm also works underground?
Hello mate just wanted to clarify any mob farm will work above or below ground. You just need to make sure a 120 block perimeter up,down ext is fully lit up so no mobs spawn there. Hope this helped
no spawns will be ass cuz caves
I built the famr one to one and even changed the agk room height due to simulation 4, and all ove gotten in 15 to 20 minutes was a spider. Do i have to change something with the new trials update, or does this farm not work anymore?
