What Is The Best Way To Get XP In Minecraft Early Game?

Ah hi everybody welcome back hope you’re doing good what is the best way to get experience early game i get asked variations of this question all the time today i thought it would be fun to try and answer it i’ve come up with five different experience getting

Methods in today’s video we’re going to test them all out and rank them at the end of the video leave a like for good luck let’s try and pass 7k subscribe for more and let’s go a little while ago i asked you guys on twitter what your definition of early

Game of minecraft was and i got answers then answers and answers with there being no concrete definition of early game minecraft for this video we’re gonna say things that you can pull off like relatively easily or at least things you could think of pulling off relatively easily like our

First one night time of course early game night time experience farming in the field i mean it’s not a bad idea for this one we have a little bit of iron armor we have an iron sword a bed and a tiny bit of food so this is gonna be dangerous early game clearly

There should be ah yes there are early game before you’re like super geared up stacked with enchantments and things like that clearly it’s gonna be dangerous also let’s go ahead and assume you’re so early game that you maybe like don’t even have like consistent stream of arrows and bows yet so you’re really

Just doing this all with a sword and if you’re doing this all with a sword that means up close and personal for everything consistently during the duration of the night time there’s a variable in this one then the variable is skill if you’re really good with

Taking out mobs and this isn’t like a problem at all then maybe this is actually like maybe i’m showing you the best method right off the bat but no no no no i promise i promise this isn’t the best okay i want to say as long as you just

Basically keep moving through the field and try and avoid like multiple skeletons at once or maybe have the skeletons you know take each other out as long as you avoid situations like this where you’re like literally surrounded on all sides by ranged mobs this may be oh why are there so many

Skeletons no no no no no let’s get out of here no no that’s bad that’s bad it’s gonna be dangerous for sure and skill based a little bit if you’re terrible with mobs don’t try this at all but honestly you can get a lot of experience like really really easy no setup

Required at all by literally just running through the field at night time and taking out mobs but also you’re timed by night time if you’re middle of the day and you need experience you need to wait for night time and then hopefully a ton of mobs spawn all over the surface

Maybe this isn’t the best all factors and things considered we’re going to go ahead and give this first method nighttime hunting a yellow green is gray yellow is meh red is really bad just just don’t do this next let’s talk about smelting the year 2012 the month july the time

Night time the air crisp cool and breezy it’s time for some minecraft excited for what lies ahead you open up minecraft and create a brand new world this is the beginning of truly something great one hour later after grinding for like an hour or so maybe you have a small set

Of supplies and while you’ve been grinding you’ve been mining you’ve been mining copper wait it’s 2012 what’s going on why is there copper in minecraft what the nowadays minecraft 1.19 with how generation works it’s not too uncommon to find an open cave on the surface that

Maybe you could jump into a little bit extract some of the resources without much mining or even better and way more safe you have an amazing seat with a really really really tall mountain head up into that mountain look around for a little while and quickly you will

Realize that iron emerald but definitely iron all over the place i was thinking a great way to get experiences safely early game would be these mountains specifically you climb the mountains if you have a sony peaks mountain there’s like literally no risk involved as long as you don’t fall uh you climb the

Mountain you mind the resources inside of this mountain you mind those sweet resources for a while you get a stack of resources and then you go over to the crafting table and make a furnace then you place that furnace down inside of the furnace goes the resources and and then you wait

The big idea here this experience from the furnace extracting these ores manually from the environment it’s gonna take time however it’s gonna be way safer than running around in a field at night time and also you could do this at any time of the day this is the natural stony peaks biome

That i found i found this generated in my world and clearly as you can see here it’s like the jackpot you have ores all over the place here if you got really lucky with your seed and had a giant mountain like this sony peaked with ores exposed everywhere then i think that

This method would be potentially like amazing all you need to do is throw the coal in there let the stuff smelt up take it out and you get experience and also resources that you can use for other things to advance your world but where this one kind of goes wrong is

Engaging early game gameplay and chance for example let me set the scene for you uh oh man this is this is fun this is really fun i’m standing around and smelting things and this is really this is really fun clearly there are ways to speed this

Process up like you can make a smoker or a blast furnace or whatever but standing around waiting for things to smelt it’s pretty boring and this is situational and one time only if you don’t have a good seed like i had with a giant mountain with oars then you’re gonna

Have to go into the caves and that gets a little bit more risky also after you smell things one time you’re done what do you think do you think smelting things up early game is a good way to get experience or do you think it’s a

Bad way let me know what you think down below and let’s move on let’s move on to a structure this time the outpost so obviously right off the bat let’s get it out of the way situation wait oh hold on there’s a data pack um there’s a data pack

Ahem this is the natural vanilla outpost the outpost is dangerous but it’s also not like the most dangerous right for this one we’re going with again essentially the same setup a little bit of armor for sure this time a sword and then actually some building blocks as

Well so first things first find an outpost in your world second thing second i’m thinking the no setup method is you walk in you lure a couple pillars to maybe like follow you and you take the pillagers out when you get overwhelmed all you do is you retreat

You run away hopefully a couple of the pillagers follow you or don’t uh it’s pretty easy to lure pillagers away from the main structure though so you just lure them away and then you take them out as you can see here taking a single pillager out it grants a decent

Amount of experience like right there i’m level two or one there’s also the loot that you get you get crossbows and arrows from taking these things out so maybe you could actually like take the crossbows that you get and use them to take out the pillagers if you were

Getting overrun by the pillagers just completely overwhelmed easy you set up a house doesn’t have to be anything fancy either just something like with the door the pillagers can’t comprehend that uh hold on just a second i’ve got the perfect build in mind for this one

Here i have the green top the marvelous the great green top but wait it gets better there’s a secret back entrance as well just in case so what i do is i go over here i lure the pillagers away from the almost a little bit take them out if

I get overwhelmed i go back to the shelter and i hide but i what if i told you i think we could level this up even more specifically with this setup right here we have this clip right here what if theoretically i were to make some kind

Of the hallway maybe cutting over to this thing so i have like a safe entrance really really far away down this way with like a ladder or something then i go over to the hallway hey stop it i’m in creative you’re literally cheating let’s test this out for a second so trap

Door right there imagine there was a ladder right there too let me close that all right so we got a trapdoor right there we got a ladder right there that walks out into this hole and then i walk over here if i walk over here are they

Gonna be able to figure out that i’m over here or um well they’re definitely mad and they’re mad for sure okay maybe i would need to do this a little bit different like i walk out here i make them realize that i’m i’m over here all right then it sees me then

I run back over here i put that back and then maybe what i could do is like jump down right here they’ll walk over closer to try and get a better shot right i sit right here i jump up and i land the crits and take a little bit of

Damage but still i could definitely sit inside of this hole relatively safe and take these things out repeatedly early game you could definitely design a better staple heck i could even definitely design a better safe hole with a little bit more time but i think i’ve proven my

Point here the outpost with the continuous spawning of pillagers that aren’t that dangerous in the grand scheme of things maybe you set up some kind of trap to funnel them over to you maybe you just run in and take them out with a separate safe house nearby options you’ve got them clearly but

Pillagers not the most dangerous thing in the world they continuously spawn over here it’s a good source of experience early game also i mean for the 1.19 update we’ve got the alleys over here too you come over here you rescue them have them watch you massacre the things that capture them yeah that’s

Definitely a bonus stew for sure okay this one is so random chance involved but here i am fresh in my brand new world and would you take a look at that oh is that a raid oh that’s a raid okay bad example brand new world who is this a brand new

World with a village at spawn too this is great step one find the village the step two run into the village hopefully there’s a good amount of crops here step three take the crops these were yours all along you actually you just don’t remember but you grew these crops

They’re yours rightfully and so this is fine it’s not corrupt it’s not capitalist it’s not anything like that it’s not greedy it’s great it’s fine so there’s hay bales all over this place i could easily harvest them all or i could take the ones that i have right now and

Turn them back into the products that i farmed then we go over to villager and trade with the villager except unfortunately nothing here so easy all we need to do is reset the profession the trade a couple times until we get the exact rate that we want there we go

The trade that we want this one right here trading with villagers is a great way to get experience and it’s also a great way to get profits i’m thinking that maybe we could essentially start something big here by going over to a village starting with crops trade with

The villager a couple times and get a lot of experience and basically take these emeralds go to a different villager buy something and continue and repeat repeat repeat until basically we’re drowning in experience and maybe other things too the one downside to this one is gonna be

It’s kind of finite like you trade you take all the crops eventually you’re gonna run out if you’re not setting up farms of your own but like earlier game if you just need a little bit of experience for something or maybe you need like a little bit of whatever the

Villagers are selling then really realistically this might not be terrible also a lot of the workstations are really cheap to make too if the workstations aren’t there you can easily build one but anyways we trade with the villager a couple times and there we go we’re level five and this villager has

Now leveled up unlocking even more trades this trade right here pumpkin pie early game yeah that’s pretty useful in the experience that i get that’s pretty good i’m gonna be upfront with you honest here and say that i think trading with a villager early game for experience is a great way to get

Experience if you have a village and if you’re okay with doing this like one time a couple times and then you’re done if you want to talk about farms and extending this long term yes totally doable but in my opinion once you start setting up farms for profit and things

Like that maybe you’re moving towards mid game not really early game complete random side note here um look at the circle mountain the generated up on top of this hill on top of the village that’s insane that’s so cool is a nether portal early game if you build it like this

I would argue yes keep in mind that you’ve got a structure the ruined portal that is a partially built nether portal if the blocks are placed just right you could use that to make a new nether portal there is also the bucket method you can easily use the bucket method

Once you get it down to set up a nether portal without any diamond pickaxes at all so let’s see did we get a good neither spawn ah they could be worse for this method we’re going to need to go into the nether and then find another waste biome

That’s kind of big flat and open so uh something like this um it’s not exactly ideal but it will work next up for this method we will need to set up a shelter that piglens cannot get into let’s think about this a little bit

Maybe we do it like that and then we go ahead and jump that up a little bit more we’re gonna have to worry about baby zombie penguins those are definitely dangerous but that’ll do that’ll do for now actually matter of fact let’s go ahead and open this a little bit more

We’ll do this instead this is not the best in the world definitely not but there we go and then a way to kick this thing off so you now you’re really mad at me zombie piglens drop so much experience what i’m thinking you could do is you could go to

The nether set up an early game zombie experience farm avoid the gas set up early game zombie experience farm take these things out repeatedly they will literally pathfind over to you on their own and that’s it you prop it the problem here is the nether is literally the most dangerous hazard island

Environment in the entire game it’s worse than the end i would argue that’s not great and then when that happens and that happens yeah you’re gonna have a problem but but all hope is not lost we could maybe try and build this in a safer spot like

This wall again in the wall we anger one zombie piglet any that are nearby should be able to find me they run over here but then i take them out the amount of experience that i’m going to get from this thing is uh i mean it’s gonna be inconsistent

However if you build this in a good spot where piglet will continually spawn maybe like by nether ocean or something then inconsistent turns into very good there are so many different designs out there for an easy early game zombie piglet farm but with these things it

Always comes down to location if you get lucky then you hop into the nether you’re in the nether ways bottom it’s big and open then spawns might be concentrated on the main land and this might be your best bet for experience early game but on the other hand if you

Don’t feel like getting yourself into a potentially terrible situation with one of the most dangerous mobs in the game well then maybe you’d be better off taking that exact concept except keeping it inside of the overworld out of the methods that we tested today i would say

Honestly the best method the one that wins early game is gonna be the outpost the outpost is dangerous but not too dangerous unlike sitting around by a furnace and waiting the outpost is also engaging if you’ve got the right nether set up and you’re a little bit brave

Then the zombie piglet method could be perfect but i’ll post there way less situational guarantee there’s an outpost somewhere in your world all you need to do is find it and farm experience don’t sleep on villages either though because for a one-time great deal they’re great for experience as well as

Long as they’re not as long as they’re not cursed i came up with the methods we tested in today’s video on my own i’m sure there’s a better method if you know it drop it down below for another video just like this one drop a like and definitely
