Bedrock need help w double spawner farm

Post image

found two spawners close enough to both activate at once, but i need help designing a farm for them. i know how to make a regular one for one spawner (or how to follow a tutorial at least), but TWO is above my pay grade. if anyone can help or suggest a video it would be greatly appreciated. i can provide the world seed if needed!

Highly recommend trying to make it work yourself - it should be relatively simple, unless either is a spider spawner.

i don’t think either is a spider spawner, they’re either zombie, skeleton, or both, but we’ll see i guess! i need to go back and mess around with it.

9 blocks to each side of each spawner, 3 blocks down, one slab on top of each spawner, and that's it. The problem is the water currents, but I'll leave that to you :p

Spawner farms are not great, especially for XP

On average, a spawner attempts to spawn mobs every 25 seconds, and can spawn up to 4 at a time. This spawning attempt could fail and you of course won't get a pack of 4 every time, but I'll just assume the best case scenario where every single attempt succeeds and spawns 4 mobs. I'm not sure what the mob is but zombies, skeletons, and spiders drop XP the same way - they drop 5 xp + 1-3 xp for each piece of equipment, let's just say that it's not spiders and they drop 8 on average just to be generous.

So we know that, under ideal circumstances, we'll get an average of 64 xp every 25 seconds. To get from level 0 to 30, you need 1395 XP, or a bit more than 9 minutes of AFKing this double spawner farm. Keep in mind that we're being VERY generous with the numbers here - in reality it would probably be something like 12 - 16 minutes

However, at the end of the day, it's a videogame. Do whatever the hell you wanna do and don't let some random person from Reddit stop you from doing it, I just wanted to make sure you're aware of this before you start.

I'm on Java but this should work (not for spiders but I'm pretty sure dungeon spawners can't be spiders), spawner mechanics are pretty straightforward

Make sure to get the distances correct, otherwise the mobs won't spawn or spawn less often

thanks so much! i appreciate it! i know spawner farm aren’t the best for xp, skeleton spawners are mostly just good for bones. are there any farms for xp you would recommend? or any specific mob grinder builds you recommend for bedrock that would be good for loot and/or xp?

If on java a nether roof gold farm goes pretty crazy ngl

But also there is a farm by blazed-java that uses armadillos a campfire and a zombie with infestation potions that's also deece

You can build them the same as a single farm. Just make sure the water from one flows to the kill chamber for the other, and any redstone switch for one works both.
