What is Best way to earn XP !!!

[KiraZorro]

Hello,

my friends and I were playing on a world together, but now, we ask ourselves: what is the best way to earn xp?

It was a mob tower, but they never decide to fall. And for mobspawners, we have tried but the yield is poor !!!

I use a mob spawner, melee turtles, and brains in a jar for my exp farm.

make a spawn field with the tier 5 soul shard (e.g. zombie pigmen) which is 8x8x6 (length x width x height) and place water on one side so every mob drifts onto one side. let them drop one block and place another bucket on one side, so mobs drift to one single block, here is the layout:
a x x x x x x x x
a o o o o o o o o
a o o o o o o o o
a o o o o o o o o
a o o o o Y o o o
a o o o o o o o o
a o o o o o o o o
a o o o o o o o o
-------------------------
x o o o o o o o Z
a = wall, x = water source, Y = spawner (two blocks in the air, cailing is 3 blocks higher to let them spawn properly), Z hole, --- = one block drop

The water should reach the ledge but not flow over, the second single source should stop right before the hole. This way all mobs (except e.g. spiders) will float toward the ledge and then towards the hole and drop down. Now to speed up the killing you can make them fall down just enough so you can one hit them. at the bottom place a turtle on which they land and let it attack in a loop with turtle.attackUp(). Make sure the mobs cannot leave the top of the turtle. You can now collect the exp with a brain in a jar, or cheaper: a xp turtle. You could also make a melee xp turtle. With the turtle you can enchant up to lvl 30 without the need of 15 book cases. to setup the xp turtle, enter into the command field:

lua [press enter]
m = peripheral.wrap("right") [press enter]
m.setAutoCollect(true) [press enter]

now to check the level use
m.getLevels()
to enchant put the item in the first slot and enter
m.enchant(x), where x is the level of the enchant.

The turtle will reset if the chunk is unloaded, so use a chunk loader. If you also place the mob trap in a different dimension, the spawner will keep spawning even without a player around. makes for a great auto xp farm (and of course drops).

by breeding animals. you not only get experience from it, you're also helping mother nature survive.

I'd use a blaze spawner from SS with either a brain in a jar or a XP turtle for picking up XP.

there are several utube vids on building an enderman mob trap in The End. this generates a ludicrous amount of xp and ender pearls at the same time. Ive done this on a bukkit server and it works very nicely =)
