Farming



Farming refers to the systematic production of renewable resources. It is usually used to get blocks, food, experience and other things. Specific types of farming are listed below.

Mob farming

 * Using wheat, seeds, and carrots to breed animals, to be slaughtered for their products or used in egg, milk, or wool farming.
 * Creating spawn rooms for hostile mobs to be killed for their drops.
 * Farming villagers requires the player to have enough beds and job site blocks for each villager for them to breed.
 * Farming guardians by funneling them to a concentrated area for materials and/or experience.
 * Farming crossbows, emeralds and ominous banners from pillagers.
 * Farming tridents, nautilus shells and gold ingots from drowned.
 * Farming slimeballs from slimes.

Experience farming
The reason to farm experience is to easily enchant items, or repair tools and armour. Many common experience farms require a difficulty above Peacful, as they require mobs to spawn. Other uncommon farms use other ways to gain experience, such as fishing or furnaces.

These can be automated with a water pathway transferring the mobs to where the player is standing. (NOTE: blaze farms cannot use water pathways as they are in the nether. You can use pistons and slime blocks, or other more technical methods such as making a big solid cube, which the blazes are attracted to.)
 * Waiting at an active monster spawner for monsters to spawn. This includes mobs that do not spawn naturally without the use of spawners, such as cave spiders.

Food farming
