Tip: if you're making the farm make sure your snow golems have a block above their head to stop the rain from damaging them before the roof is put on

Make a little 1x1 box at the side of the killing chamber and push a skeleton in. This turns your farm into a record farm when you're standing opposite of the skeleton - make sure you're not wearing thorns armor, and keep that shield up.

for anyone wondering, this farm works perfectly on java 1.20.5. and the build can be made of netherrack!

I built this on bedrock, here's some things to note if you're considering it. It DOES work, but it needs some modifications. As the video creator said in his pinned comment, you have to put buttons on each floor in a checkerboard pattern instead of carpet. Even then, bedrock will occasionally spawn spiders in the gaps. As far as I'm aware, there is no way on bedrock to get a 100% creeper only grinder. In my experience, after applying the button fix, it's 95% creepers with just a few spider stragglers here and there. Second, you may want to build each corner of the snowman cages up one extra fence, so two tall on the corners with the centers being one tall. This will prevent the straggler spiders from killing your snowmen. Trust me, having to go back in to work on this or replace snowmen after it's built isn't fun, so just do that on your initial build. Also, the spawn rate is WAY slower on bedrock due to the mobcap. You may go several minutes without any creepers dropping down, don't panic if it doesn't start raining creepers immediately. When they do drop, if you follow the 19 bock "chute" this guy made, over half of them will die of fall damage and not allow you to use looting. I made mine 15, and now it's only 1 in 5 that die of fall damage, while the ones that live are one hit kills with a sword. Finally, I suggest building the floor of your platform one block beneath the chest, with slabs on the hoppers. That way, you're close enough to hit them, but they won't blow up 99% of the time. If one does start to detonate, back up and you have plenty of time to prevent it. Also, if they're too far away to hit, crouch so they can see you.

if youre having trouble with spiders spawning in your farm try either replacing the carpets for slabs or creating a checkered pattern with buttons on the floors instead! there seems to be a parity difference with spider spawning on minecraft bedrock sorry about that 🫡

WOW this is probably THE MOST quality and authentic minecraft farm content on youtube. THANK U

Man the farm works and now you got your self a new subscriber. Much love brother thank you for making it easy to understand and keeping it simple. Keep up the good content!

Good lord sweet gravy and praise jesus a creeper farm that produces more than 1 mob per like 10 mins and actually is all creepers. First time a creeper farm works for me and I’ve built like 5 over the years. Always hardly any mobs or majority not creepers. Very appreciated

Campfires with soul sand do twice as much damage, which will increase the mob spawn rate and increase the drop rate.

This is amazing, I’m still working on my beautiful spawner room but when I’m finished I wanted to make a creeper farm! Right on time!

Thanks, this creeper farm works very well for me. I had no problems with it thank you for this tutorial!

making this farm was one of the most fun times I had in my survival smp with friends, we made funny name for the snowman and generally goofed around the reward for our hours of work paid off wonderfully! thanks so much

thank you so much!! it works nearly flawlessly, it's highly efficient, and it really didn't take that long to build or get the materials!

Eyo new video, such a great tutorial. Excited for the next episode of the new series! Keep up the great work wattles♥️

Just finished getting all the stuff ready and building this farm,it legit works. I have a little over 128 gunpowder *looting 3* and it's only been like 8-9 minutes.

Great farm works perfectly!! One thing I would say to make it 100% safe is around the hoppers put fences they’ll prevent you from getting too close for them to explode.

amazing farm cant wait to try it ( im kind of obsessed with that block pallet dude )

Trapdoors are a nicer option than slabs on the killing area hoppers. Alternatively place trapdoors on the bottom of the glass. Either 1 (or both) will stop the creepers from getting triggered when killing them.

Thank you so much bro, I was in desperate need of gunpowder before I made this farm, now I have a ton!

this is the most frendly DIY i've seen about a minecraft farm, thx dude

Thank you for making content so good, that I never not once ever thought about canceling my membership in the 3 years 6 months and 22 days I’ve been a KZfaq member 😂

TIL (far too late, may i add) that tinted glass ≠ black stained glass. please don't make this farm with black stained glass; you will regret it

You should use a block with seamed outlines, like smooth stone, for platforms so you can count them.

Simple and easy design, thanks so much wattles! I just built this on my SMP for netherite mining, but we'll see how long it lasts before getting griefed lol. One thing though, can you maybe add the rates in the description or something? Ty

Also, excellent use of non-let-light-through-able blocks

You know what, I appreciate you man. Your grind is inspiring

After hrs of building this. It actually works. Approved thank you ❤

Thanks! Worked like a charm and very straight forward. Appreciate the video!

I built this farm, and gathered all the materials and fully built it in my hardcore world in under 4 hours, from start to finish. My only issue was when at the killing area, a creeper blew up when i was making the platform, and i had to gather more hoppers because they blew up, but overall, its a great farm.

Tip: Use obsidian or something with high blast resistance for bottom blocks where you collect, sucks when you get the cascade of explosions as you're trying to repair from the first one...and use cement slabs on top of the hoppers

Just built it! Working amazing already!

I honestly was kind of going into this thinking it would not work because a lot of the other farms i tried didnt.. but it worked the second i completed it. thank you!

"are you looking for a creeper farm that doesn't require like million trap doors" >shows 9½ stacks of trapdoors required for 5 layers...

Let's go it works on bedrock I wanted to build a gunpowder farm so badly for a while!😁 Edit: please guys don't blame me I was just saying that because wattles said that it should work for bedrock I didn't build it yet. But I plan to this week.

I fell in love with your tutorials, especially since they give you clear instructions on how the farm is intended to work and the ways you can modify it. I built it in my 1.20.1 world using tinted glass and am currently the happy owner of a double chest of gunpowder. It was my first ever creeper farm and after some troubleshooting to find out why some of my snow golems died, it works properly and I can now just travel there through my Nether portal to afk to my heart's content. I even did as guntramblohm4179 suggested and trapped a skeleton in a boat, in a small 3x3 stone brick hut behind the killing chamber with iron trap doors so I can toggle my creeper assassin whenever I need music discs.

Best wood to use for the trapdoors is going to be bamboo. You can make an easy inf bamboo farm and 9 bamboo = 2 planks (sounds bad but really efficient)

Thank you wattles it worked, I’ve built 4 different farms for bedrock and it hasn’t worked until this one, absolute life saver for people like me who constantly use rockets and TNT

kinda funny tutorial, easy to follow, simple farm, everything we want. Great tutorial, much love ❤

Built 5 layers over the ocean. The farm works great for AFKing. Thanks for the video

Add trap doors on the last level of the outer walls for extra "no explosions for me" safety.

This farm is relatively easy to make, and it works very well! Just make sure you have trapdoors everywhere you need them and that you place slabs on top of the hoppers. Enjoy the gunpowder and XP!

Thanks Wattles this is a nice farm with good results from 5 levels, but I got fed up of everything being blown up fairly regularly, so I've made the bottom three block levels of the killing chamber and the whole AFK platform out of obsidian. It's wide enough so I can walk around the outside and I've prevented myself from getting too close with floor slabs around the hopper perimeter. The hoppers are also covered with slabs so I get the XP without it hanging around in the hoppers. So far so good.

yo this is amazing i made like 10 layers and i’m getting a shit ton of gunpowder thanks for this

I'm playing bedrock 1.20.10, and I needed a lot of gunpowder I've looked at a lot of videos, I think this is the simplest and most efficient farm. thanks! ps. 'll post a review after making it!

Didn't knew i wanted a Creeper farm until i saw this Creeper farm, and now my survival world defenetly needs a Creeper farm.. 😅

I used trap doors instead of carpet, put fences around the hoppers and slabs on top of the hoppers. Works great! I've never made a creeper only farm before because they always use cats and I didn't wanna deal with that, so thank you for making a guide with easily obtainable resources

Im definitely going to build this!

Just for the people wondering, if you build it perfectly you can get up to 14 layers exactly! I just built mine for the first time and it is well worth the time and work!!! 10/10, will definitely be building this farm again! Thx Wattles!

I followed along with the tutorial and built exactly what he built just with cobblestone and all I was getting was the occasional creeper and a bunch of spiders. My snow golems also kept dying. P.S, I play on bedrock.

bro tysm i needed so much gunpowder for fireworks for my world tysm!

Works great on bedrock (realm). AFK:able if you funnel it into a trident killer. About 2 stacks per hour + a decent amout of exp. Equipped looting enchant is applied for the trident. Well done mr Wattles. Exchanged the carpets for buttons.

im on hard mode and above y: 250 and no creepers are spawning at all. everything is exact except different blocks

*There is no way to stop the spiders on Bedrock* I have tried carpets, buttons, trapdoors, slabs, fences, gates, glass panes, glass blocks, leaving gaps, and finally resorted to reducing the spawn platform to a single block. I'm still getting just as many spiders as creepers. This isn't your fault; your build is technically sound, and sort of works. It's simple, affordable and relatively compact. Those spiders shouldn't be there.

Ay this was super well explained! Really cool😊

REALLY WORKS AND EASY AF TO BUILD. GREAT JOB MAN! (just make sure u put every trapdoor or else you'll have some trouble like I did lol)

Hi wattles, thanks for the great video again! Can i ask what is the best chunk loader for 1.20.1? Nothing is working will on my world when it comes to chunk loaders, they are to complicated for me to understand 😅

Great video! I will use this design once I finally get to that point. I have a very new map and just built my first cow crusher in it. I was wondering if you could make a spider/cave spider spawner farm? I was exploring in cave and came across a cave spider spawner within a few blocks of a spider spawner and think it would be a good exp/string farm. Thanks!!

Playing on bedrock and I love the farm. I built this over a ocean biome and I get the occasional drowned. Nice little bonus since I don’t have a farm for tridents

works wonders and was super cheap thanks! :D i built 9 layers and made 11 stacks within 20 minutes (using a looting III sword ofc)

I was looking for an easy no time-consuming creeper farm and yours appeared as magic Suggestion: How about a glow squid farm?

Tiny tweak. Put the chest on the side so you don't have to step around it to hack at the creepers. or put chests all the way across the front so you're not constantly trying to maneuver around an obstacle. I plan on starting this build tonight. Who knows, I may even go farm some sand and use tinted glass. Or smooth stone. I have a crap ton of that too. Too much. everything I have is built out of smooth stone LOL.

Works great in java 1.20.4 and for those building this water buckets will be your best friend for moving around. Doing an overnight afk and within an hour i got like 8 stacks already. A+

perfectly works, thanks for sharing c:

It should be sufficient to use 3 carpet on each "strip", as spiders need a 3x3 area to spawn. Simply change the two middle carpets to a single one in the middle. This will free up one spawning space for creepers, making the farm slightly more efficient. Also, for anyone watching, you can use slabs as the floor. This not only saves on building materials, but also reduces the amount of wandering the creepers can do. (Changing the walls for stairs also has this effect, so now creepers will essentially stand still until hit by a snowball. I don't think this will make a difference for this specific farm.)

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but you should put name tags on the snow golems so they don't de-spawn. Learned that the hard way.

I just built this in a server I'm on, and it's working great!

Building this tomoz thanks wattles!

This tutorial is extremely straight forward & easy to follow - farm is working great in Java 1.20.1 for me :) Now time to expand

If anyone on Bedrock is having a problem with spiders killing the snow golem. I just put fences 2 blocks high on the corners of the middle fences

this farm is nice i think im gonna build it in the future thanks man

Outstanding results in my survival world. Needed an endless tnt supply to blow up the nether and find netherite! Thank you so much!! 👌🏼👌🏼

The worst part is, this works better than the farms I built that's *supposed* to be for spiders.

I built this design and it seems like it should work better, my spawn rates are really slow like 1-2 creepers every minute or so. Is it possible that because I'm on a server rates would be slower?

Works perfectly. Thanks!

Thank you for this amazing farm

For some reason it's spawning creepers extremely slowly 😢 Any ideas why?

Hey wattles love you Videos! im having some trouble with spiders mostly spawning regardless of the carpet.... any advice? im on Bedrock

thanks for the design :D

Nice one! I made the farm with 3 layers and I get about 1 stack of gunpowder every 15min, so 4 stacks per hour (java and hard difficulty)

That 1 weird corner block has to go, it spawns skeletons etc, that kill the snow golems. 6:45 dont connect the corners

Works great as of 1.20.2 on Java 👍

For anyone wondering, I just built this on the current version and it worked (: PS: ty wattles!

Definitely building this when I get off work

I had a problem with zombies that appear to have spawned in with the snowmen while I was afk. They killed 3 out of 5 of my snowmen. I did have the fences there but obviously if they spawned in with them that didnt help. Im playing java 1.20.1. I rewatched ghe tutorial and it doesnt appear as though I missed anything. Any ideas??

Something that I’ve noticed a lot of farming tutorial videos to is they create the farm in a vacuum they don’t take into consideration, wanting to EFK spot or wanting to have like farms together farms that make TNT being in one location farms for villager crafting being in one location Etc. and I think it would be interesting and you could do well a guide of how to create localized farm areas where there won’t be so much interference between one farm and another Edit im sorry for all the errors, thank siri, but no im not going to fix them.

"are you looking for a creeper farm that doesn't require like a million trapdoors" and then you get to 9:24

Nice tutorial! However I wish you told us about the camp fires when placing the hopers I’m at the end of the farm and now I have to pray creepers don’t fall on me while I place camp fires.

I just finished building this farm in bedrock and it’s not working at all for me. All I’m getting is the occasional spider. Anyone have any tips to make it work on bedrock?

Hello I've built the farm but no mobs seem to spawn. can you help me out?

It's so efficient, the best creeper farm i've ever built. I got a stack gunpowder in a matter of seconds

Thanks man! Works like a charm.

Tried build this on bedrock, can confirm this work on bedrock but, spider can still spawn in there for some reason and killed the snow golem

This farm really isn’t spawning creepers it’s mostly spawning spiders and I have everything followed exactly

Question, can I go crazy with this by making 5 more layers on each side? Will it effect the spawn rates? If yes then why? Is there any way to get around it or is it really just limited to what is shown in the vid?

I believe Looting 3 works on any kills as long as u have the sword equiped. Like if u fire an arrow and swap to ur sword it will count as looting and give u extra drops. This may work to afk with campfires with a looting sword equiped

On bedrock, without modifications this farm is extremely inefficient. here’s a list of things i did to increase production. 1. instead of the carpets, create a checkered pattern with buttons on the platforms with trapdoors above each button in a checkered pattern on the ceiling 2. replace the bottom with a trident killer to make it automatic and so looting 3 applies 3. with the leftover trapdoors you receive from breaking the ones on the ceiling, add trapdoors surrounding the ledges on each level and open them so creepers can fall off at any point.

I think I have managed to fix the issue with spiders spawning done a lot of testing and haven’t had 1 spider spawn since I’m on bedrock BTW

works perfectly thanks you deserve a sub

Thanks bro this is so helpful...

After spending hours buliding it i learned a valuable lesson read the comments before building. 2nd farm by wattles i have built claiming to be for bedrock too only for it not to work
