wattles – EASY SKELETON SPAWNER XP FARM! | The Minecraft Guide – Tutorial Lets Play (Ep. 96)

Waddler something big has happened something huge has happened if you haven’t noticed look at this we’re getting so close to 1000k this is so exciting this is crazy the final moments have entered for you to subscribe before 1 million welcome back to the minecraft guide 96 i

Like the number 96 i’m not too sure why but i like it i added two trees in between episodes i don’t know how i feel about these trees but i did add them soon we’re going to add more trees because today is the big day a couple episodes ago we got lucky

We were the luckiest person in the world basically we found something amazing um it’s really amazing i i can’t even say what it is i just have to show you okay so we go down over here it’s pretty close to the base this is a little bit of a waste away but

But pretty close we got on the staircase right here it winds a couple times and then boom right here you see what that tasty thing is oh that’s right skeleton spawner today we’re gonna make a farm out of this thing it’s super easy it’s gonna get us so much bone meal

Arrows and and stuff like that too experience but bone meal that’s the big thing that we’re building this thing for you have no clue how excited i am like this is my favorite like my literal favorite smaller farm in this world and we finally have one materials right here

This is what you’re going to need to build this farm a piece of soul sand signs i can’t tell you the exact amount because it kind of varies depending on what you want to do with your elevator but but signs have like at least this much i would say water buckets

Maybe ice ice is always good building blocks these are our building blocks today and then skeleton spawner the most important thing which we finally have i can’t believe that we found this thing actually i’m still in shock all right so i don’t honestly remember what we got in here what did we get

Uh oh that’s right that’s right that’s absolutely terrible that’s pretty cool though we might get horses soon that’s pretty sweet we’re gonna go ahead and move those things out of here right off the bat and then we’re gonna grab slabs we need two slabs we’re gonna put

One slab right on top of the spawner we’re gonna dig out below the spawner and put another slab right there after that we’re gonna grab light and put torches on every single side of the spawner make sure it’s safe and then we’re gonna have some on the walls too

But we’re actually gonna move the walls out in just a second but yeah this is the setup right here now what i think i’m going to do with all this other random stuff like diamond horse armor redstone dust rotten flesh we’re just we’re just going

To go up to the surface here put it in the ground in the chest it’ll come back later we’re pretty close to the base from this spot we could actually see the panda monorail and panda island the temple is going to be just out of sight but it

Would be right over there we’re pretty close to the base also i have no clue what’s up with this tree like i’m pretty sure i came here and took this wood out at some point but i don’t know where it is like it’s just missing it’s weird so these spotter

Farms are really nice farms at any point in the game earlier on in the game these things are great for experience and bows and arrows and things like that and then late game in the skeletons farm case bone meal bone meal is so useful it’s always useful for like growing things quickly like

Trees crops you know all that type of stuff these farms are also insanely insanely easy to set up now we set up two zombie farms in this world which are basically the same thing as this one but nowhere near as good at the same time like the drops

The drops from this thing are going to be insane i can’t even stop like with how excited i am it’s exciting so uh one two three four out that way four out that way four out that way four out that way that’s the setup then we need to clear this whole room out

What we’re going to have is a nine by nine room now the ceiling above the spawner today we’re gonna make it three blocks above it which is actually perfect because this is already three blocks above it and then we have the slab up here on top of the thing

To stop skeletons from spawning and idling around on top of the spawner so spawners are kind of interesting they have a spawning radius by digging this room out nine by nine we open up the entire spawning radius if the skeleton were to spawn in this room and idle around the spawner

Actually would stop spawning mobs the game is doing that to make things a little bit more balanced out easy i mean imagine if skeletons just kept spawning and spawning and spawning i mean once you have a farm that would be really good insanely overpowered actually but before the farm you could end up

With like a trillion mobs inside of the room that would be really dangerous not good now the skeleton spawner is going to do basically a skeleton check every once in a while if there’s a skeleton within the radius of the spawner it won’t spawn any more skeletons if there are no skeletons however

It can spawn more skeletons but here’s the thing for this actually work it’s also going to need to be dark so while you’re digging all of this room out make sure you put torches down and make it like bright and stuff because you don’t want to have skeleton spawning

While you’re trying to work on this thing it would be really annoying also if you’re in a spawner that’s connected to a cave system this one is like oddly isolated uh make sure the cave system is lit up to or just blocked off you don’t want like a creeper to walk in

Here and blow this thing up because if it’s gone it’s literally gone it’s done okay so now we have this nine by nine room don’t worry about the floor quite yet but it doesn’t look very good and today we are actually going to worry about the look of this room

So this is what i’m thinking what we’re going to do is in the middle we’re going to do light gray concrete stripe that goes up like that and we’re going to do it on every side i think that’s going to look pretty cool pretty nice

And then i think we’re going to do the same thing on the ceiling too like this is going to reach all the way across here and then it’s going to link up so we’re basically going to have like like this giant like it’s gonna look

Like a present box kind of if you know what i’m saying all right so we’re gonna have something that looks like that so far so far so good also if you have random holes behind this thing you can go ahead and fill those things in we don’t really need them there

I’ll probably end up filling this in all the way maybe that maybe not i’m not too sure but that for sure so we had the lycra concrete then i’m thinking cyan terracotta in here too the cyan terracotta is going to go everywhere that we have stone so like all of these spots right

Here and then i think maybe even more light gray concrete like wrapping around the middle here this is gonna be like the middle of the room so it’s gonna go like all the way over to this wall right here and then it’s gonna wrap around and then

When we dig down it’ll go down two and then we have like the scion terracotta in here like i said it’ll be on the ceiling too over here so that’s gonna mean when we’re done with this thing we’re gonna have something that kind of looks like this right here

But multiplied like over and over and over again and then down low too now to get all this terracotta before the episode i actually flew over to the mesa biome to get the terracotta i tug it up and then i realized that the nether hub still

Needs to be finished i was only to come back into the nether hub and actually get the crying obsidian in before the two or two so ah don’t let me forget about that i i have to remember that like even if it’s episode 99 that’s fine

But it has to be done before the tour also this cave system uh it’s a cave system it’s cool there’s some dark spots but i think what i’m gonna do is just block it off i know my way in from like the ravine over by the pandas so that should be fine

All right so here we go we have this room basically finished i left this spot right here open so i can get up and down now we need to dig the room down digging the room down is pretty simple all we need to do is uh go

One right now two three three blocks below the spawner and then dig it out all the way so we have a nine by nine room you could go deeper if you wanted to um which today i actually think i’m gonna do i’m gonna go four blocks below the spawn but if

You’re trying to do as little work as possible and still have this thing function well then three blocks below the spawner four if you want or you could even go more but don’t go too many so four blocks below the spawner the entire room cleared out now i

Actually had to go back over to the base because i ran out of terracotta and concrete powder but i have it now so even more concrete what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna have this continue straight down to the floor and then we’re actually gonna do the floor of this room different

I’m kind of torn right now i can’t decide if i want to do cobblestone mossy gobble zone or if i want to do smooth stone i i i can’t decide i’m kind of leaning towards mossy cobblestone cobblestone though i feel like that vibe is it’s kind of perfect for this room you

Know with like the whole spawner vibe and everything so yeah that’s what i think i’m going to do but the walls the walls are going to be identical to what we just did a second ago now technically when you’re setting these things up you don’t have to worry about this stuff looking good

I don’t know what i’m going to do with my spawner grinding room or where i go to actually farm the skeletons out so today i’m caring about the looks i am thinking about putting like a window looking into this room i think that could be cool but at the

Same time i’m not 100 sure either way though the things that we’re using to build this thing uh they’re like really cheap for me so it doesn’t really matter all right so i finally finished the walls it’s looking pretty sweet in here now i just need to do the floor the

Floor is definitely lacking for sure i’ve decided cobblestone a mossy cobblestone it’ll match the spawner vibe you know of like the og room before we tore everything up i think that’ll be pretty sweet so i’m just gonna go ahead and try and use like basically every single piece of mossy

Cobblestone up that i had here i just put it back into the floor it’s fine it’ll look good so now with the floor done we have this room right here ignore that trench for a second okay don’t ignore the trench anymore because check this out if i put water at the

Back of this room it’s going to flow from that back corner all the way down this way so we have this whole room dug out and looking good now all we need to do is set up a funnel system to move the skeletons over to one spot

And then an elevator system to raise them up and drop them if we drop them 22 blocks we’ll take the skeletons down to one health when the skeletons are down at one health then they’re insanely easy to take out all we need to do is grab literally any sword even though we have

This horde we could use like anything even a wood sword take them out in one hit which is perfect that’s exactly what we’re going for so what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna line one side of the room with water there are a couple different ways to funnel the skeletons

This is my favorite way to figure out where you should be putting your water think about where you want your skeletons to to be farmed for me in my case because the base i’m pretty sure is that way easy way to double check this go back up to the

Surface is the base that way uh yeah yeah roughly that way yeah so because i want to farm my skeletons over there on that side of the room i’m going to pick one of the walls next to that side so like this wall or the one that i’m standing against

Place water down all the way then on the other end we’re going to dig down one block so we have this trench right here i’m going to do this i have to do it the floor needs to look good it has to match the same with the

Wall so that’s going to come out although this is going to be cobblestone it’s going to look great but after like five blocks dig two blocks down so your trench gets a little bit deeper we’ll be using the water on that side of the room to move the skeletons over here

Then this trench to move them over to one singular point which is going to be the elevator the elevator is going to be a couple blocks past the room on this wall to find where your elevator goes find the corner that you’ll be moving all of your skeletons towards

And go like two three blocks out of the room something like that so after digging your trench this is what we’re gonna have we’re gonna have water at this back corner it’s gonna flow down this way then flow over there to where the elevator will be we’ll place soul sand there build an

Elevator which is what we’re about to do but for now we’re just gonna pull that water out we don’t really need it this is gonna go back so i can get out of this thing then what we’re actually gonna do is go over here one block in front of where

The elevator will be uh dig down place water right there that’s so we can get back down into this room if we have to okay so before we set up our actual elevator we need to figure out where we want to farm the skeletons so what we’re gonna do is stay in line

With the elevator go a couple blocks out i’m thinking like maybe this spot right here like that’s three blocks out from the elevator that should be good then what we’re gonna do is dig out a little bit of space around this room if you want to

Maybe like a way up to the surface at least a way out of this room though like over to where your building stuff is so uh what i’m gonna do for now is put a staircase right here i’m gonna staircase all the way up to the surface

So i have a way in and out of this thing then i’m gonna move all of my building supplies over to this room now this is gonna be our new workroom next to the elevator i am gonna leave my way in and out of this room though like

This staircase right here for now i’ll close it up later but i’m gonna leave that there all right so this staircase goes up to the surface i have all of the stuff over in this room now all we need to do is set up the elevator which is pretty simple start by

Placing a block down wherever you want to drop your skeletons your skeletons to make things easier should be in line with wherever your elevator is going to be so like straight down over here that’s perfect now what we’re going to do is get the exact coordinates of this block

Make sure you write them down exactly right all right so there we go those are the coordinates now the important one today is the y coordinate we need to add 22 to 38 right there adding 22 to that is pretty easy 724 60 14.95 the important one here is the 60 number

Now we’re gonna go back over to our elevator and build this elevator all the way up to y60. now this could be a little bit annoying like it’s gonna take some time you’re gonna need signs and water buckets for this so make sure you have all of your

Signs and at least one water bucket to do this but thankfully it’s not actually that hard it’s just kind of annoying so this is our elevator right here two blocks past this room what we’re gonna do is dig this out so we have a three high entrance right there

I forgot to fix these so you saw nothing that’s been perfect the whole time same with this side okay so this is what we’re looking at and now i’m gonna take the time today to make sure my elevator looks really good but the elevator is going to be two blocks wide like this

We’re gonna have a soul sand block at the back a water block right there for now what we’re going to do is place signs along the front side so this side right here going all the way up then on the back side we’re going to place the water bucket

This sole sand will actually turn into a bubble column eventually once we turn these all into water sources and the skeletons will be sent up to the top and then they’ll be dropped all we need to do is get this elevator going all the way up to

Y60 so right now we’re at 42 it’s gonna take some time but it’s not that hard to me the easiest way to get this done is like this so we have water right here and then i go in and i change all the blocks on the wall because i’m gonna do that today

Then we can jump back down into this water if we land there perfectly we won’t take any damage we can go back over to this spot in this room where the water is grab another water source float back up this thing make sure all of these signs are here

Place another water source it dumps down we climb up dig a couple blocks out sand on the side you know dig out all these blocks on the wall if you’re doing that you don’t even have to do that and basically repeat the process over and over and over again

Essentially what we’re doing here is using the water to move up a little bit higher so we can reach everything and then using this water right down here to jump back down out of the elevator to get more water so we don’t take any damage Oh no way no way this is kind of crazy so i was digging this thing out just now and it actually is right below this water pond right here like we’re gonna be really really close to the surface so i’m gonna get rid of that water

And i i think i need to go like two more blocks or something like that um yeah yeah like two more blocks to 60. so the sand is going to be the way but this is kind of crazy we’re gonna be like right up on the surface

No it’s actually one more block i literally need to go one more block and then i’m at the surface okay that’s crazy or okay i mean the top of the elevator i made it all the way up to the top of the elevator so what we’re gonna do is grab

A water bucket and dump that right here that’s gonna dump down and jump over this way we need to get over to those coordinates that we had before 724 14.95 i think that’s gonna be like one more block two more blocks this way right uh 1495 722 uh 23

24. so that’s gonna be all the way over here we’re gonna place a sign down once we find that block and then all we need to do is dig all the way down now i’m gonna come back up here in a second and replace all these blocks i have them

Them smelting up i just don’t have enough right now but yeah i am going to make sure this whole thing looks good too i’ll place that there i’ll fix that up but now all we need to do is dig straight down and we should end up on our spot right here

Now if you’re digging straight down like really long ways and you’re by lava obviously like be careful but i i should be good here yep perfect okay so that’s gonna be right there now all i need to do is make these blocks look better which is gonna be the

Terracotta blocks and then the top of the elevator too when i do the top of these elevators just to make sure there’s enough room i like to make sure this area is three blocks tall so one two three and then i would put the ceiling up here so the ceiling of this elevator

Is actually going to sit one block above the surface right here which actually honestly i’m fine with maybe we’ll be able to incorporate this into the build that we end up doing somehow i’m not too sure all right so i ran out of terracotta again but here we go this is the final

Setup right here we’re going to place terracotta coming down all the way to this block except for one block right here this will trap the skeletons in you could leave it open on all of the sides like all the way around this thing if

You want to or you could close it off on like every side except for one whatever you want to do but you need one block open over here on this side now we need to go back over and get into that room to finish everything up

Back over in this room this is what we have now not much has actually changed we have that entrance right there we’re gonna go out of that in a second grab some water place it in one corner to finish off the water trenches that should go all the way over to the

Elevator and then stop right here make sure you have water right here we need to turn this elevator into a working elevator right now these aren’t water sources above the solar sand so it doesn’t actually work now to turn these to water sources you have two options the long option

Which is buckets of water and you dump them one by one by one by one option number two the easy one kelp on top of the soil sand place kelp and build it all the way up to the top here by placing kelp in here on all of this

Water all the way up to the top we turn these water blocks into actual water sources instead of flowing water jump out of the elevator back down to the bottom land into the water get rid of that uh give it a second and then this should activate we see bubbles

There now we’re good don’t go in the elevator back out of there and then swap this water block out for something else i highly recommend ice ice is kind of slippery personally i feel like the skeletons kind of push each other better on ice i don’t know

Maybe it’s just me but that’s kind of what i feel i’m also going to change these two blocks right there to ice as well make it more slippery technically ice only really moves items but i don’t know i always do it it seems to work well so that’s what i do

Now all of these torches could go out of here that we’re going to get out of this room we’re going to need to be quick about this skeletons are going to start spawning once it gets dark and they’re going to shoot at me and it’s not going to be good hey buddy

How about no how about nobody okay yeah yeah now what we’re going to do is climb up here get rid of that don’t worry about a skeleton stop stop stop stop leave me alone leave me alone no no no no no no no no okay okay all right we have one torch left

We should be able to hit that from there there we go okay skeletons don’t worry about it take those out i think the whole room is good now yeah okay close that off now we’re good that’s that okay so i’m gonna actually come back in here later and fill all

This in and all the blocks on me right now but now we want to get over to the other side of this room when we’re within 16 blocks of the spawner it’ll be active 16 blocks honestly might even be like right up on the surface above the thing i’m not 100

Sure on that but it might be anyways though when we’re within 16 blocks of that spawner it’ll be active which means it can spawn skeletons if there aren’t skeletons near the spider it’ll spawn skeletons they’ll fall into the water be moved over to the elevator and then dropped down right here

And we could take them out easy just like that that’s all you have to do skeleton farm so simple you can take them out with your fist which is super cool and it just works that’s all you have to do now i highly recommend using a

Looting 3 sword if you’re trying to get bones because taking the skeletons out with looting 3 will will give you more bones and and then you can turn those more bones into bone meal which is amazing now this room should be close enough to your spawner that you

Should be able to stand in it and have the skeletons actually spawn i know for sure that somewhere over here probably over here too is within 16 blocks of the spawner if you’re not sure you could actually dig back over to the spawner room

And then take a look at it i don’t know if i’m going to be able to actually see it but if your spotter has those flame particle effects around it then it’s actually active and can spawn skeletons now design wise what am i going to do with this room

To be honest i have no clue i’m going to have to figure that out in between episodes i’m thinking the next episode will come back and make the skeleton spawner look good so it’s ready for the tour and so i can actually enjoy using it but for the spawner itself

That’s all you have to do they’re so easy to set up and definitely like 1 000 worth it but that is actually going to do it for today’s episode of the guide i decided that maybe we will use the temple for the comment of the day books

I i don’t know i’m not too sure maybe i’ll do the comments of the day here from now on i don’t know today’s comments of the day though blue coral blocks and stripped warped logs look pretty good together that sounds like an amazing combo it actually brings up a really good point

So after the tour we’re going to switch gears and start doing some really really cool stuff but i need your help i can’t decide do we do village yourself like raids maybe woodland mansion that kind of stuff or do we perhaps maybe do ocean stuff like find an ocean monument talk about

The conduit get like a turtle farm in here and everything like that i can’t decide so let me know down in the comments below which idea you would rather see water or like raid stuff we’ll eventually do both of those things it’s just like which one do i do first i

I can’t really decide subscribe like drop a follow on my twitter big shout out to my patron cipher1158 ryan t has been me your boy skeleton farm we’ve done it we actually have a skeleton farm it’s amazing i’ll see you next time good bye everybody You
