1) Create base
First, Minecraft gamers should create their base using cobblestone. The sides are eight blocks in length, with four diagonal blocks between each side. Players will want to place them as pictured in the image.
2) Add another layer to base
After adding the original layer of the base, users must add one more layer to the base so that it is now two blocks high.
3) Add two block high walls to build
After making the outside of the base, players should add walls that go diagonal five blocks and are two blocks high. This will help to funnel the creepers in one direction.
4) Dig out all blocks in middle
Next, they need to dig out all of the blocks in the middle. Once dug out, gamers should then dig down three blocks deep to make a pit for the creepers.
5) Dig out two pieces of dirt
Users should now be three blocks deep in the middle of their build. Once here, they should pick one side of the build and dig out both corner blocks on the bottom of it, opening up spots for gamers to put water.
6) On other side, dig out four blocks and then one block deep on back wall
Directly across from where users dug out the bottom two blocks, they will want to dig out the bottom two blocks on each corner. They will then want to break it one block deep and two blocks high into the back wall. Basically, this will make the room one block deeper.
7) Place water all along bottom of wall where gamers dug out two corner blocks
Users have to turn around and head to the back corner where they just were. They should take a water bucket and place water all along the back wall.
8) Dig long hallway
Players will now want to dig long hallways in the direction the water is traveling. They will need to dig until they reach the end of the water stream.
9) Dig small room
Once gamers reach the end of the stream, they will need to dig down four blocks and then forward a bit to create a small room to collect the creepers.
10) Add hoppers, chests, and campfires to collection room
Inside the collection room, users should place hoppers at the bottom of the hole. In front of those, they should place chests. And then, on top of the hoppers, gamers will want to put campfires.
These will be used to kill the creepers. They should ensure the hoppers are facing the chests.
11) Place glass wall in front of campfires
Once users have placed all of the correct items for collection, they should put a glass wall in front of the campfires to see the creepers being harvested.
12) Make staircase out of collection area
Minecraft players should create a staircase so they can exit and re-enter the collection area when they need to harvest their gunpowder.
13) Add trap doors to build
Gamers of Minecraft will now need to add trap doors in the front of each chamber to funnel the creepers into the water. They must also add two trap doors along the back wall, in the middle of each of the four chambers. This will be where they place the cats.
14) Add more trap doors to middle
Users should add more trap doors to the middle of the build and proceed to open the four in the middle of the build.
15) Gamers should add four more trap doors
Players should add four more trap doors to the middle, placing them on each trap door to enable them to form a cross pattern. This will allow the creepers to be more easily funneled into the water below.
16) Place down carpets
Next, gamers should place down three carpet squares in each room. These blocks must be arranged in a specific pattern, as shown above, to prevent spiders from spawning inside the rooms.
17) Tame some cats
Now, users will need to go out and tame cats found near villages in the game. They can tame them by feeding them raw fish.
Gamers need four cats per layer they wish to do for their creeper farm. So they may want to breed cats rather than trying to find them all.
18) Place cats on trap doors
Users can place the cats on the trap doors in the back of each chamber by pushing them. Once there, they will be used to scare the creepers.
19) Cover ceiling with trap doors
Players will want to cover the entire ceiling with trap doors to prevent mobs like skeletons and zombies from spawning because they are too tall with the trap doors in place.
20) Cover top in slabs
Gamers can now place cobblestone slabs over the entire thing to close it all in. If they wish to add more layers, they can. However, the farm is ready to be run as it is now.
Using the farm
Once completed, Minecraft players can go about their business as the farm takes care of farming the creepers. They will want to periodically check in on the chests and pull out any gunpowder they have earned from the chests in the collection room.
