5 best Minecraft structures for mob farms

The world of Minecraft is vast, and many structures are naturally generated in it. Some structures can only be found in specific biomes. For example, jungle temples can only be generated in the jungle biome.

They can also have loot chests with valuable items and tools such as emeralds, golden apples, and sometimes even diamonds. Through spawners or naturally, some mobs can spawn a lot more frequently in these structures than they usually do anywhere else. This makes them perfect to set up farms for specific mobs.

Ocean monuments are the only place where guardians and elder guardians can spawn. When killed, they drop prismarine shards, the only source of the beautiful and unique prismarine blocks. Elder guardians can also drop up to one wet sponge.

Creating a guardian farm is not easy, but once the player makes one, they can pretty much get unlimited prismarine blocks. Guardians can also drop cod. Therefore, making their farm will also be a good source of food.
