Best farms to build in Minecraft Bedrock

1) Villager Trading Hall

While a villager trading hall isn't technically a farm, many players consider it one of the best ways to gather resources in Minecraft. Players can assign various professions to unemployed villagers. Based on their jobs, villagers can sell items ranging from enchanted equipment to useful food and more.

In a villager trading hall, players can store multiple villagers with different jobs, such as armorer, farmer, and librarian. With a villager trading hall, you have an endless supply of resources that are otherwise not farmable. Players interested in optimizing their hall can take it to the next level by zombifying and curing villagers to lower trade prices.

2) Villager Breeder

Villagers are arguably the most useful mob in Minecraft. By building a villager breeder, you can ensure an unlimited supply of villagers ready to be turned into trading machines. However, villagers are not the easiest type of mob to breed, as they require spare beds, sufficient food, and the right mood for breeding.

A villager breeder removes the hassle of breeding villagers manually and provides a steady supply. These new villagers can then be transported to a villager trading hall.

3) Iron Farm

Once you have found a village or built a villager breeder, creating an iron farm is a smart choice for any playthrough. Iron is one of the most versatile resources in Minecraft, useful for crafting weapons, tools, armor, anvils, and trading for emeralds.

An iron farm uses villagers' ability to spawn an iron golem when they feel threatened. A zombie or illager can be used to trigger iron golem spawns, which can then be farmed for iron ingots.

4) Raid Farm

Illagers are some of Minecraft's strongest mobs, but that doesn't stop players from farming them. A raid farm allows you to gather valuable drops like Totems of Undying, saddles, and emeralds. Additionally, it serves as a source of XP, essential for enchanting and repairing gear with Mending.

An illager raid begins when a player with the Bad Omen effect enters a village. Since Minecraft considers a villager with a bed and workstation as a village, players can use this mechanic to set up raid farms in Minecraft Bedrock.

5) Mob Tower XP Farm

Raid farms can be complex and are generally suited for mid-game or late-game. For new players, a mob tower XP farm is a simpler alternative.

Mob towers are one of the simplest farms in Minecraft. Common mobs like skeletons, spiders, zombies, and creepers require a light level of 0 to spawn. You can build a dark room high up in the sky and use mob AI to guide them into a chute, where they drop to low HP, making them easy to kill for XP and loot. This farm produces items like bones, arrows, and gunpowder.

6) Tree Farm

Trees are abundant in Minecraft, so most players don’t need a farm for wood. However, for mega builders, a tree farm can be helpful. Large builds may require hundreds or thousands of wood blocks, and the texture of logs adds visual appeal.

A tree farm uses bone meal to quickly grow saplings, which are moved by pistons for easy chopping. Automatic tree farms can use TNT to break logs, which are then collected by a water system.

7) Bone Meal Farm

Waiting for crops or trees to grow can be tedious for impatient players. Fortunately, bone meal accelerates the growth of crops, trees, and flowers. While bone meal is often collected from skeletons, it’s easier to automate its production.

Using fast-growing kelp, players can set up a bone meal farm. Observers and pistons enable an automatic kelp farm, which can be connected to a composter to produce bone meal.

8) Zombie/Skeleton/Spider Spawner Farm

In the Overworld, players may find mob spawners in underground rooms. These spawners can be used to create a simple farm for zombies, skeletons, or spiders, providing a consistent XP source. This is a beginner-friendly farm recommended for new worlds.

---

9) Hoglin Farm

While a villager trading hall offers food trades, some players prefer an automated food farm. Currently, hoglin farms are the best food source in Minecraft Bedrock, though they must be built in open spaces.

Since building on top of the Nether ceiling isn’t allowed in Bedrock, players need to construct the farm over a large, empty lava ocean. Once operational, it produces large quantities of cooked porkchops and leather.

10) Creeper Farm

Creepers are among Minecraft’s most notorious mobs, but farming them is essential for players who use TNT or rely on elytras. Creepers are easier to farm than ghasts or witches, which also drop gunpowder. With cats, buttons, and trapdoors, players can efficiently spawn and farm creepers.
