5 best ways to get XP in the Minecraft 1.19 update

In Minecraft 1.19, players can collect XP points by engaging in several tasks in the game. As soon as players enter the vast sandbox world, they start mining and fighting mobs. These tasks help them progress further in the game and obtain XP orbs that are dropped from certain blocks, mobs, or items.

The Minecraft 1.19 update brought one of the major changes in how players can obtain these XP orbs. With the release of the Deep Dark biome, new sculk blocks were also added.

Other than that, newcomers who are joining the game for the first time should also know that there are some tried and tested ways to gain loads of XP points.

Ender Dragon is essentially the last boss mob that players encounter before completing the underlying story of the game. Hence, this mob drops the most amount of XP points once killed. Players can use exploding beds to easily kill the dragon.

Once the beast is killed, it drops 12 thousand XP points in the form of orbs. This is the most amount of XP a player can get in one go. Every new dragon after the original one will drop 500 XP points. The only downside is that fighting the dragon can be tedious.

These blocks can drop 1 XP point when mined normally with any tool. If players are cautious enough and block all the sculk shriekers to prevent the Warden from spawning, they can easily break all these blocks to gain loads of XP points.

Players can modify or build a structure around the spawner block and kill loads of mobs that are being spawned to gain XP as well as drop loot.

Even in Minecraft 1.19 update, the best way to get loads of XP points is by making an Enderman farm on the main End island. As soon as players enter the End realm, they will notice that it is filled with Enderman mobs. Since these mobs drop a decent amount of XP points, a farm can be generated where they are lured to a trap where players can easily kill them for XP and Ender Pearls.
