EASY SPIDER SPAWNER XP FARM! | The Minecraft Guide – Tutorial Lets Play (Ep. 69)

Hey everybody it’s me waddles a minecraft guide episode number nice levels almost nice i have news that that isn’t so nice so burb they’ve been missing for a while i haven’t been able to find burb anywhere ah and today interesting development i i have found burb but i have also found

What burb has been up to that’s a staircase in the middle of the woods and everybody knows that a staircase in the middle of the forest that goes nowhere if you climb it it’s essentially an interdimensional gateway that leads to the shadow realm so big problem i don’t know if i even want

To go near the thing i’ve looked at it for a while burb isn’t moving pretty sure that’s verb though definitely burp for sure can’t mistake it interdimensional gateway shadow realm not nice today we are back in the oval world though today we’re going to work on a spotter farm in the next episode

Next episode’s all about profit yup that’s right you got it right if you guessed skeleton spotter oh yes you’re right i finally found a skeleton spawner off camera did some mining in yeah no i actually unfortunately didn’t find a skeleton spawner still really want one of those

Instead we have a spider spawner it’s not as good but it’ll be good we’ll be able to use the string from this farm for things that we’ll talk about later the spider eyes for potions and the experience for well experience now this is our spider spawner the spider spawners location honestly

Couldn’t be better this spider’s monitor is essentially right underneath where the sheep are it’s a little off to the side a little uh tucked back like away from the bridge but yeah the location is basically perfect my plan today build a farm and next episode do something related to the farm up on

The surface it’ll be pretty cool but today the farm first the loot the loot the loot what did we get that’s right some horse armor okay cool cool and then oh a name tag and a music disc but name tag yes yes yes that stuff is good

But it’s also in the way first things first we need to get this stuff out of here and then these random blocks that i’m pretty sure were put here by enderman they can probably go away too spider spawner farms so aside from a spider spawner what do you need to set

This thing up well you’re gonna need building blocks and block variants so we’re talking like slab staircases you will get building blocks when digging this thing out though you’re also going to need to have trapped doors if we’re looking for a specific amount i think six is that number

Any trap door will work but i like iron trap doors you’ll see why later fence gates might come in handy maybe not they’re kind of like an optional thing you’re also going to want to have some hoppers and a chest freeze before we do anything else it’s

Future me here hi how you doing uh one more material water you will need some water sources for this farm so uh water buckets get some of those today’s farm is for normal spiders it works on java and on bedrock edition but normal spiders not cave spiders big warning here cave spiders

They’re more dangerous and they’re smaller you need to contain them in a different way so don’t take this design and use it for cave spiders you’re going to have a huge huge problem so first things first the room we need to clear out a room just like with every single other spawner farm

A spider spawner is just like a skeleton spawner and a zombie spawner spiders though they’re definitely different so the spotter has a detection radius if mobs are inside of that radius the spawner will stop working usually we could just drop the zombies and the skeletons out of that

Radius and move them away with water spiders though they like to climb and when they climb they climb up and then sometimes idle around by the ceiling to stop the spiders from staying by the spawner up on the ceiling we’re gonna have to actually make the

Ceiling a little bit taller in this farm so uh right now check this out if i grab the scaffolding one two three that’s three blocks right now three blocks right here would be your absolute bare minimum to be a little bit safer though i recommend going four five

Six blocks or so if you go six bucks up the spiders will definitely be higher than the spawners detection radius if they decide to climb up the walls of this farm there is another trap that we can set up but that trap can get a little bit more costly

So three blocks minimum about this spawner six bucks maximum that’s your height dimension how about on the x and z axis what do we do well just like every other spawner farm four blocks out will do so right here we have four over here we’re gonna have four right

There over here yep we’re gonna have to build the wall in but we’ll have four and then over here four just like that so we’re gonna clear this out all the way around this farm and all the way up we’ll talk about the floor in a minute first i’m gonna clear

Out all this space now uh today just like with the zombie smaller farms that we built in this world i don’t care about how this room looks i’m never going to see into it for the most part i’m going to care a little bit how it looks actually i guess i lied but

For the most part i don’t really care so when i say i care a little bit what does it mean well it means that i want all of the walls today to be out of stone into just plain old minecraft stone so if i find any like gravel

Or granite or anything i’m gonna swap it out for normal stone also when you’re clearing this room out hey don’t forget about like lighting uh lighting for sure make sure you put some torches on the wall maybe on the spawn or two lighting definitely don’t forget about it

Oh boy what is that what is that that is not no no no no no that is not another cave oh this is another cave okay this needs to be lit up this is oh okay yeah yeah it’s not a cave but coal i’ll take the coal that’s cool

Yep i guess mobs could have technically spawned there though so that’s good to find so you remember how i said like you know back in the day that i didn’t care about how this room looks well yeah yeah i still don’t care about it but i decided that maybe stone bricks would be

A little bit cleaner we’re gonna kind of be able to see into this room so stone breaks that’s the move but we’re forgetting one big thing you see above the spawner we need to stop spiders from going up on top of it and idling around if spiders are standing around on top of

The spawner we’re gonna have a big problem now usually i would recommend just doing solid blocks going from here all the way up to the ceiling wherever you put it i went six blocks up uh instead though i want to try something out and i’ll get back here in

In the late you know this is a problem but chains i think chains could be pretty cool so then the spawner looks like it’s literally hanging from the ceiling but here we go four blocks out every dimension the floor how about that the floor that’s easy now all we need to

Do one two three three blocks down everywhere in this room like all the way from wall-to-wall three blocks down and i am going to continue my beautifully clean clean walls and stone bricks all the way down too and then the floor i’m thinking the floor will actually be

Nice too so yeah i guess i care about the aesthetics after all i want like cobblestone mossy stone bricks on the floor i think that’ll be cool and then the ceiling it’s all still Alright well the room the floor the everything it’s all looking good check it out this is what we have right now a room that is pretty sizable also a perfect square nine by nine now it’s time for water just for a second you’re gonna need two water sources

One in one back corner and then one in the other back corner that means before you do this you need to figure out which side is the back the back is going to be the side that you don’t move the spiders towards so i think that i’d like to move my

Spiders this way which means this is the back water source right there water source right there so check this out the water flows towards me but it clearly doesn’t make it all the way to get around that easy easy easy all we need to do is a little bit more digging

What we’re going to do is start by digging out the floor where the water isn’t so all of this stuff that i just went down right here after digging this out the water still hasn’t changed of course to fix it dig this block out this one this one

This one this one this one this one and this one right there basically the block that the water lands on on all of them except for this one this one you can actually leave alone if you want to you can take it out or you can just leave it there now we

Have water that flows towards the center and all the way to one side of the room that’s perfect easy all i have to do is fix the floor all right so the floor is looking good wouldn’t be me being borderline obsessive fixing the floor that i will

Never see on this farm nope definitely not wouldn’t be me the floor is looking good the water flows all the way to the center on one side all we need to do is dig out an area to get rid of the spiders now unfortunately or usually i would be

Raising mobs up and dropping them getting them down to a one-hit takeout because well it’s a whole lot easier that way but spiders they’re a little bit trickier they can climb so instead of a one-hit takeout we’re just going to funnel them right over to an area where we can take them out

And then we’ll use a good sword to actually take them out a good sword is actually well well this is a good sword don’t get me wrong but it doesn’t have bane of arthropods on it bane of arthropods it hurts spiders big time if you can get a bane of arthropods five sword

You are seriously going to do a lot of damage but this sword right here won’t be bad at all this will be a good sword for taking out the spiders until we can get a vein of arthropods five swords so what i’ve done here is dug

Three blocks out past the room and then actually three blocks high as well so basically a three by three area over here on the floor we’re actually going to take out those three blocks place a hopper facing forward in the center and then two hoppers right next

To it going into that center hopper over here we can actually go ahead and take out a little bit more space we’re going to set up a room over here but right here more importantly going into this hopper a chest right there or the hopper going into the chest this will pick up

All of the drops from this farm slab time three slabs one right there one there one there then clear out a little bit more space right here and grab your trap door that’s trap door time one trap door on there one there one there then one more trapdoor on that one

One more there and one more there you’re gonna end up with something that looks just like this believe it or not this will actually hold the spiders back the spiders won’t be able to break out through here even though this looks like a gigantic gap if you had cave spiders though

They would pour right through that thing now when spiders climb they climb up but they can’t actually climb up and then back down so basically to keep the spiders that are inside of this room in this room we’re going to put a slab there there and there so when the spiders climb up

Onto this thing up the trapdoors the walls anything like that they’ll just pile up in here on the ceiling if you really don’t want spiders climbing up your walls and then just standing around though specifically in this room here’s one more thing that you can do this thing is insanely

Optional though like big time you seriously don’t need to do this if you dig your ceiling tall it should be fine but if you want to you could actually set up a trap up at the top of this farm to do this find the front side of your room and actually

Dig the ceiling a little bit higher how much higher two blocks higher all the way along the whole front side now you should have something that looks like this the ceiling’s a little higher on the front next is fence gate time you’ll need 18 offense gates for this part

Fence gates need to go on the lower block all the way along the ceiling here so just like this these fence gates are actually going to hold the water up so that means the next up is water time you’re going to need a bunch of water sources up here

Above every single fence gate and all of the fence gates need to be opened if you get the fence gates in though and a couple water sources you can actually use the water sources to create infinite water and then just spread the water all the way across the top of this thing pretty

Efficiently once you have water all the way across the top of this thing like solid blocks you are good to go so spiders like to climb they will actually climb up this wall right here on the front because the water goes towards it sometimes and then idle around by the ceiling

Unless you have this trap set up if this trap is set up the spiders will actually continue to climb right through the fence gates and then idle around in the water and then eventually they’ll drown all of their drops will drop right back down down here

And then actually be moved over to these operas big shout out to k-mon the channel linked down in the description for that big brain life hack right there but remember if your ceiling’s really high up you don’t necessarily have to do that so let’s finish this farm up trapdoors in

Right there a couple more building blocks over here around this thing and now this thing is pretty much good ready to go all we need to do is work our way back around this thing over to the other side where i left a hole take out all of the torches clog this

Hole up right here and then uh spiders should start spawning and be moved over to the front of this farm that’s right that’s it spider spawner farms are actually really really simple to set up because there is no elevator involved usually at least so there we go that’s close now if we

Move over here we should have at least one spider climbing around waiting right there all we need to do take our sword swing at the spider and take them out that’s right so simple now sometimes some of the loot will end up on top of the trap doors but if

You’re over here using this farm you should be able to step forward and pick it up and so that is actually it that’s all there is to this farm it is so so simple to set up now what i think i’m going to do is actually leave this side

Open so i can get a little bit closer same with the other side i think maybe that that might look good maybe we’ll end up doing something else design-wise on it though for the spawner to be active you need to be within 16 blocks of it standing around right here definitely

Within 16 blocks of the thing we can jump up take out these spiders if we had a better sword we could be one hitting them but this sword is good too alright so that’s pretty much it and now if i were to dig up let’s say i don’t know the room

Doesn’t need to be big maybe if i were to dig up say like right here a couple blocks back from this thing where would i end up i’m thinking that i should be on the land hopefully probably like underneath the tree or something if i had to guess

There are trees everywhere that would be a pretty safe guess but where exactly are we and wow we’re actually a little bit deeper than i realized uh we’re gonna have enough scaffolding oh yeah we’re gonna have enough scaffolding like just enough scaffolding check this out this right here is where we are

So that means next episode we can set a building up right here and put something secret inside of the building that’ll be really really good mm-hmm that’s perfect placement okay cool so now all that i need to do is work on the aesthetics of this room down here because right now this

Aesthetics this vibe hey it’s not exactly it’s not exactly it i’ve been building and i’m happy i feel good i i really like where this build progressed where it went e leads check this out so right now we have this hole in the jungle right there ladders instead of scaffolding i think the

Ladders fit the vibe of this building a little bit better we go down the ladders we see blackstone already so the goal here was like a symbol room but also a beautiful room so the room yeah yeah it’s simple it’s just a rectangle nothing too crazy going on here

I went a little crazy with the detailing though i’m not sure what i think about it i think it looks pretty good but yeah again not 100 sure i am thinking that maybe though the crafting table should be a little bit more hidden i i don’t really

Like seeing the crafting table this time so maybe crafting table there chest pile forward yeah i feel like that’s good the light levels are good everywhere in this room that is one thing though so you have to be careful with the light level if you make it too bright in

In the spider room so if we go in here uh if the light level is actually above a seven spiders won’t spawn so right here it’s actually a seven and it’s going to keep going down and down and down you ought to trust me i’m not gonna go in

There all the way but yeah basically what i’m saying keep your light sources away from this thing a little bit so i have some over here that should be good one over there that’s fine yeah the light sources aren’t right next to it check out this good pair of boots

I found the perfect spot for it right there i will never use that finally a cobwebs cobwebs for sure it’s a spider farm we need a few cobwebs on the ceiling i feel like that would be really really cool down here and help finish the room off

Now check this out i made some modifications this is open i can move over here sweeping edge damage on those spiders it’s amazing this right here is what i have now and check the levels oh yes time for the comments of the day why didn’t you update your version to the 1.17 snapshots

So i’m not going to update to the 1.17 snapshots in this world quite yet will i ever though maybe so last season and the guide we actually updated to the snapshots of 1.16 for an episode and we explored it was really really fun will that happen again well maybe i’m

Not 100 sure but maybe if it were to happen though it would only happen once a generation is changing 1.17 the new blacks and stuff they’re cool but the generation hall it’s all about the generation so maybe once the generation changes we’ll update to the snapshots for an

Episode that’s gonna do it though for this episode of the guide today huge thank you to lord zenera and mr pd watch if you enjoyed the video leave a like and subscribe if you’d like to have a bunch of string maybe spider eyes experience then a spider farm is for you

We’ll talk about what else you could use it for in the next episode don’t miss it i’ll see you next time stay fresh You
