Hello, this is Waterdragon32 here! I've decided to make my page a tips and tricks page. My first trick on getting loot from monsters without fighting is to how to build a well-functioning mob trap. I will list the steps on how to make this and hopefully it works!

How to do this:

1. Get a lot of cobblestone.(You can make a pinwheel mine or a staircase mine to get large quantities of this.)

2. Make a 4 by 4 square.

3. Make the square 6 or more blocks high.(Make sure you make the trap high enough where the mob will take fall damage but not die.) Make sure you leave the roof open.

4. Make a 4 by 6 rectangle hanging off of one of the square's sides.

5. Repeat this on all of the square's sides.

6. Make the rectangle at most 3 blocks high.(I'm pretty sure no one wants an Enderman in their mob trap!)

7. Pour a bucket of water from one of the rectangles.

8. Put a sign (or five) to block the water flow to the bottom of the trap.

9. Repeat Step 7 for the rest of the rectangles.

10. Make a roof, a way to get the loot from the weakened monsters(A bucket of water flowing to the outside of the trap is a good collector, though Hoppers will work too), and a way for you to get out of the trap, and you're done!

Cool House Combos:

1. Bricks, stone bricks, and cobblestone.

2. Nether bricks, stone bricks, and cobblestone.

3. Glowstone, nether bricks, and cobblestone.

4. Oak wood planks, birch wood planks, and sandstone (Smooth or chiseled sandstone is recommended.)

FYI, I got this from the book Minecraft for Dummies!
