Just built this in my SSP world and it works great using 1.4.7. Also I am making a tree build of my own after being inspired after watching your World Tour. I hope your views/likes issue works itself out without you having to change the way you do your shows. I'm a big fan! Keep up the great work!
Brilliant. I replaced the manual crusher and gate with Etho's time mechanism he used for his blaze farms, except instead of a massive repeater chain for the delayer, I used a hopper delayer.
They may be tracking you. If they can see you, they're going to climb if they can. Make sure all your corners are blocked and see if that fixes it. And put the lever for the piston closure (and your AFK spot) where Doc does, don't try to stand down by the iron bars -- again, if they're tracking, they seem to glitch up and down the drop and don't sit down there nicely. That's one of the mistakes I made. (Off to modify my dual spawner for the third time, but I'm learning a lot. Thanks Doc!)
to turn it into a time crusher, the pistons must be extended for 48 ticks which will bring the spiders down to a one-hit-kill. Just hook up a monostable circuit and use 12 repeaters each at full delay to do this :)
Spawners are still the very best way to get specific items. Arrows and Bones are two of the most useful things in the game. If, hypothetically, a mobtrap and mob spawner spawn 500 mobs an hour, a mobtrap would give you 500 mobs, but only some of them would be skeletons. A skeleton spawner trap would give you 500 skeletons, meaning maximum bones/arrows.
Doc, I think it is time to say a huge Thankyou for all your Tutorials!!! They help me for the start and give me a base for own designs!!! Just want to say ;D
Liking the videos makes it more likely to get featured, watching the ads gives him moar money, watching the vid gives him a bit of money, and after that, you can't really do anything except paypal. But if everyone does just these 3 steps that's already way over enough.
This Tutorial is just soo epic... just built a normal spider farm, the 2wide gap sucks a bit, but in general u can build any mobfarm with this :D keep on the good work, doc
I recently made a skeli spawner trap, works pretty awesome, I think I need about 120 skeleton to reach level 30, I have arrows for days and they drop power 1 bows. I rigged up a simple crusher with about six repeaters set at different ticks, I have to hit my button four times to get them down to a one hit kill with a stone sword. It has been priceless to have all those arrows and XP.
Here's how it works. A: Skip ads you don't like. Why? It helps determine what type of ads are shown. B: Watch ads you enjoy. Why? Watching the entire ad helps the channel out more. C: Click the ads you are interested in. Why? This is pretty much a super-combination of both A and B. Note: DO NOT click or watch ads just to support the channel. The ONLY time you should ever click an ad is if you are actually interested in the ad content.
Besides the ads, there are a few other things you can do. A: Subscribe! Why? This is probably the single best thing you can do. It helps determine what is partnership levels are at. B: Favorite videos you love, and would want to watch again. Why? Favorites show advertisers people like to watch the videos multiple times. C: Like videos that you enjoyed. Why? Likes show that the content is overall enjoyable. D: Watch the videos! Why? Every view helps him, little by little. BTW: Upvote THIS post.
Hey doc, a little trick. I've been making XP farms for a while and you can also use the f coordinate to know whats sides to extend. Sides f 1 and f 2 :)
You actually make that text! If you go into your minecraft.jar and then to title -> splashes, you see all the text's, you can change all of them if you want.
I'm pretty late (3years lol) but to clear the confusion for others, you may have a regular spider spawner instead of a cave spider spawner. Regular spiders are more bigger than the cave spiders. This design will not work with regular spiders.
I'm amazed! When I attempted cave spider farms, they'd stick to the inside wall on the ceiling, and I'd have to use a row of pistons to push them back down, or they'll stop spawning. How does your design miraculously prevent that? :O It just works! Like amazing!
Thanks Doc! Very nice tutorial, everything was explained extremely well! Can't wait to see your next world tour episode to see what you do next! Keep up the great work (:
you can actually change the phrases yourself!! windows: %appdata%-minecraft-bin-minecraft.jar(open with winrar)-title-splashes.txt mac: library-application support-minecraft-bin-minecraft.jar(run with unarchiver)-title-splashes.txt minecraft reads all the lines randomly, so if you want it to show up every time, delete everything inside the file, and put in your wished splash, if you'd want it to show up 50% of the time, make sure to copy it as many times as there are original phrases. enjoy :D
Anyone who has problems with the spiders climbing: they can't climb up sand. You can put down sand and use signs or something of that sort to hold it up in areas where sand normally falls. That should work better.
I'm not sure, but I think google adsense (used on youtube to generate income) doesn't really register wether you fully view the ad or not. However, clicking the ad does get registered. One click is worth a certain amount of money, so you can click the ad and then skip it to give the youtuber more money. Or at least that's how it works on smaller youtube-accounts.
Hey doc, completly unrelated question: What is the best way to support your channel? Likes and favorites? Watching the full ads? clicking the ads? I'm really not sure how to be a better supporter, I try and like all your videos and I really like watchin the ads (as strange as that sounds, its true), but I feel I could be doing more to support my favorite channel! Any tips?
In my case they don't get stuck in the main chamber, but on the way through the canal. I've just put pistons to push em down so they can continue their wonderful journey
Ender farm would be the fastest to get alot of xp but the its a long way before you can start makeing one. Since you need to go to the end so spawner or a mobtrap would be better in the begining.
Great squid farm design, man. ;) (Just kidding =p) It's a cool and simple design, so it's great if you want to expand it and make it look more personal (and complicated). Thanks for the tut, Doc. :) On a side note, mobs wearing a headgear don't burn under sunlight. But something weird happened in your video: the zombie... lost his helmet at 26:30. Not sure why though. But that's why he started to burn.
build it as part of my home. it works like a charm. Not gonna do a timer or anything just to much work i believe. But i was wondering if you could stack them on top of the other like a big tower and let them get at the same cruscher point?
I guess give him cred for stuff. Like "Hey dude, Docm77 got a good design for that on his channel, go check it out" be sure it's fitting, or else people might come just to dislike. Also help people in the comments so he get more comments on the video!
Love your tutorials doc, can you show us how to make a standard zombie or skeleton do farm as mine isnt as efficient as I'd want it to be. Keep up the videos, Adil.
you cant unless u have a bod for it if you don't want to use a mod then you have to find a dungeon and hope the spawner is for spider but the best spawner i think is the best one is skeleton spawner you can get ton of xp and arrows.
Is there a big difference for any spawner trap if you're building 8x8 cage with the system you showed & the 9x9 designs (where the cage is also 9x9, not just the surrounding build), which is an uneven number, which is generally desirable in Minecraft building (symmetry).
dont know what your talking about its fine for me! try useing firefox and not chrome for a bit, RUclips has been having a few errors with chrome which is weird. Sorry for bad english, its not my first language
The zombie did not burn in the sunlight because of his gold helmet. Over time, this helm will lose durability in the sunlight and eventually break. Better helms will last longer.
would place ice under the water after the spawning area speed up cave spider movement? (I'm referring to the lower section, directing the spiders to the crusher)
hey doc how about dual spawner i have one in my world but i was trying to do somethnig with it but it wasnt good enought so how about making video tutorial about dual spawner or its better do destroy one and have only one?
I havent played the snapshots myself, so i havent tested theew xp system from spawners, although i heard it was pretty bad :/ Would be cool if you could tell me if its actually worth making spawner xp farms anymore, or if its a lot better to just make a mobtrap or an enderfarm, even with the extra cost and time spent on those kind of traps. Thanks gor the tutorial anyways doc!
Is it really needed to have such a high roof in the spawner room? since they are only 1 block tall and they spawn up to 1 block above the spawner I mean?
Doc, when i do this set up for some reason the spiders get stuck at the end of the water steam(where the signs are) do you know why this is happening ?
I was wondering though is it possible DocM77 yo make any kind of mob spawned trap with the regular spider spawners 'cause I absolutely hate those little baby spiders they cause quite the pain, so I wondered of course not with that design for the trap bit a different one for a regular spider spawner XP farm
Hello, I just built this trap on a server and it works but the spiders get trap by the steps next to the exit by the iron bars, they dont tend to stop down but float by the drop. Did I do something wrong? I built it exactully like yours. But my spiders wouldnt drop and I cant use the pistion to crush them.
I altso saw that problem. Specially after I open the closing mekanism to fill up the killingchamber a second time. Tried this and that and found out that there is veeery important where you stand. If I stand on the block in the middle (of the three) one further away frome the spawning chamber from the block docm sowed in the vid. All of a sudden the jam cleared and they all fall down.

I just built this grinder for my clan and omg it is awesome. we followed this tutorial exactly. Thanks for sharing your design.
Really cool! Now I can finally switch out my over-sized stone-age spider farm.
@Docm77 I love listening to you explain the entire spawn system. You do it so nicely!
Brilliant. I replaced the manual crusher and gate with Etho's time mechanism he used for his blaze farms, except instead of a massive repeater chain for the delayer, I used a hopper delayer.

Docm77, thanks for taking the time to make these tutorials, they are really easy to understand, your are an asset to the community

Thanks for the tutorial Doc! Wish I was a more redstone savvy so that I knew how to setup the crusher timer and all that good stuff.
Spawners are still the very best way to get specific items. Arrows and Bones are two of the most useful things in the game. If, hypothetically, a mobtrap and mob spawner spawn 500 mobs an hour, a mobtrap would give you 500 mobs, but only some of them would be skeletons. A skeleton spawner trap would give you 500 skeletons, meaning maximum bones/arrows.
I can always rely on you to make the best tutorials on all new contraptions! Awesome job Doc :-)

Docm, nice design. I built a similar one for a zombie spawner and built in a timed crusher and it works great.

I was just about to look for a vid on spider spawners. Thx doc.
Ha, I just finished up my spider farm last night. It was a double spawner though so it took a lot more improvising. Turned out quite nicely though.
Hey doc, a little trick. I've been making XP farms for a while and you can also use the f coordinate to know whats sides to extend. Sides f 1 and f 2 :)

Help: The spiders doesnt fall down they get stuck there above the closing system
I'm pretty late (3years lol) but to clear the confusion for others, you may have a regular spider spawner instead of a cave spider spawner. Regular spiders are more bigger than the cave spiders. This design will not work with regular spiders.
Since cavespiders are less than a block high, you can actually only leave 1 space above the spawner :)
Another great tutorial. It shows when you put a lot of effort into the making of this video.
I'm amazed! When I attempted cave spider farms, they'd stick to the inside wall on the ceiling, and I'd have to use a row of pistons to push them back down, or they'll stop spawning. How does your design miraculously prevent that? :O It just works! Like amazing!

This is awesome i was needing one of these for my server thanks doc
You need to kill ~165 skeletons to reach level 30, and just a tip, you should set up a clock to the button instead of just pressing it over and over.
Ender farm would be the fastest to get alot of xp but the its a long way before you can start makeing one. Since you need to go to the end so spawner or a mobtrap would be better in the begining.
You don't need the pistons which close the entrance for the spiders, if you turn the lights on they just won't spawn anymore
"Why isn't that zombie burning in the daylight?" "And finally, he's burning and dying!" Hilarious! :D
congratz on 18million view! -sorry about the last pist, I am on an ipod.
Great squid farm design, man. ;)
(Just kidding =p)
It's a cool and simple design, so it's great if you want to expand it and make it look more personal (and complicated). Thanks for the tut, Doc. :)
On a side note, mobs wearing a headgear don't burn under sunlight. But something weird happened in your video: the zombie... lost his helmet at 26:30. Not sure why though. But that's why he started to burn.
if your computer processor isn't great, minecraft may be capping the number of mobs to prevent frame rate drops
If you find a normal spider spawner, like in a dungeon, but the farm would need to be modified slightly, since they're bigger.
Is there any way to keep them from climbing
this guy does the best tutorials!
The capsule of Redbull's mission to space landed on their HQ it seems...
Love it doc, simple and easy to make! Also not expensive! Thanks man you rock
Hey man i was playing around in your docm77 world tour i made the tracks working agan
Thanks doc for al the vidio's your à good one. Thanks
Hey Doc, if you want to time it, refer to etho's original blaze farm tutorial. he has a really nice redstone timer on it.
it will not give a problem with symetricality, because only symmetrical about one axis, and its enough =)
build it as part of my home. it works like a charm. Not gonna do a timer or anything just to much work i believe. But i was wondering if you could stack them on top of the other like a big tower and let them get at the same cruscher point?
Why does it have to be built on the corner of the X that's getting lower on the F3 axis?
I am building this right NOW!
Awesome design!
I guess give him cred for stuff. Like "Hey dude, Docm77 got a good design for that on his channel, go check it out" be sure it's fitting, or else people might come just to dislike. Also help people in the comments so he get more comments on the video!
What Texture Pack are you using in the first part of the video it's nice. Great video and great idea.
Thanks Doc! I was needing something like this!
18,000,017 Video Views! Well done Doc!
Love your tutorials doc, can you show us how to make a standard zombie or skeleton do farm as mine isnt as efficient as I'd want it to be. Keep up the videos, Adil.
you cant unless u have a bod for it if you don't want to use a mod then you have to find a dungeon and hope the spawner is for spider but the best spawner i think is the best one is skeleton spawner you can get ton of xp and arrows.
@cartsurfer squids spawn in water, remove all water within 180 blocks or so and then put water somewhere in the middle... Squidfarm
Mobs can only spawn one block above the spawner so you only need a 1 high roof. for other mobs it's different because they are two blocks tall.
Is there a big difference for any spawner trap if you're building 8x8 cage with the system you showed & the 9x9 designs (where the cage is also 9x9, not just the surrounding build), which is an uneven number, which is generally desirable in Minecraft building (symmetry).
And you should really put a same block and cactus on top of the spawner to knock off any that spawn close enough to climb up.
Great vid doc! Love the music
vanilla means without cheats/modifiers. So yes!
dont know what your talking about its fine for me! try useing firefox and not chrome for a bit, RUclips has been having a few errors with chrome which is weird.
Sorry for bad english, its not my first language
The zombie did not burn in the sunlight because of his gold helmet. Over time, this helm will lose durability in the sunlight and eventually break. Better helms will last longer.
zombies don't burn up when they have a hat on like a pumpkin or amoumer!!!
but this was an awsome video . do more yeah
Thx for this tip, really helped me :( i wast looot of buttons trying to stop them from being spidermans.
Great job making this mate
try thicker walls around the spawner. spiders can see through some blocks
zombies and skeletons won't burn if they have a helmet on, so that's why the first zombie didn't burn but the other did.
doc with what are you recording and what pc do y(u have cause your recording an you still have.over 100 fps my max when im recording is 1-5
would place ice under the water after the spawning area speed up cave spider movement? (I'm referring to the lower section, directing the spiders to the crusher)
Nice but can you tell me what is better about this trap compare to the old one? I don't think it is very efficient at all :(
Actually Doc, I don't think cave spiders need the extra roof height. 2 meter tall mobs like zombies do though.
Thanks alot! this helped me really much! Lovely as always Doc :) You're awesome!
Thank you for this tutorial Docm77!
I have a triple spawner.... is it the same concept? I would just need to change the water streams to come to a central point, right?
blazes arent hurt by lava so even though itd be slower it can still be done just not wiht this system
hey doc how about dual spawner i have one in my world but i was trying to do somethnig with it but it wasnt good enought so how about making video tutorial about dual spawner or its better do destroy one and have only one?
This is a good system I don't like cave spiders but I found a spawner for one and now I know how to make them suffer
Does it work even better if you use ice to make the transport faster to the colletion point?
If its a vanilla server it means its no pluggins on it, like towny or anything like that. Its just pure minecraft and nothing else :) Thats vanilla
"Aaaaalright guys." should be one of the yellow text phrases in the main minecraft menu.
Can you do the same design with blazes but a little bit modified like the crusher being deeper down for the height of the blazes?
I havent played the snapshots myself, so i havent tested theew xp system from spawners, although i heard it was pretty bad :/
Would be cool if you could tell me if its actually worth making spawner xp farms anymore, or if its a lot better to just make a mobtrap or an enderfarm, even with the extra cost and time spent on those kind of traps. Thanks gor the tutorial anyways doc!
I didn't see this till I looked at your channel
Watching the whole ad gets him a bit of money.
Is it really needed to have such a high roof in the spawner room? since they are only 1 block tall and they spawn up to 1 block above the spawner I mean?
24:48 its not burning cuz its got a nice hat. its like a sun cap
Doc, when i do this set up for some reason the spiders get stuck at the end of the water steam(where the signs are) do you know why this is happening ?
I was wondering though is it possible DocM77 yo make any kind of mob spawned trap with the regular spider spawners 'cause I absolutely hate those little baby spiders they cause quite the pain, so I wondered of course not with that design for the trap bit a different one for a regular spider spawner XP farm

Thanks for the tutorial Doc!
Dear Doc, are you gonna do more Chivalry with the other guys?
Try replacing any vertical walls with standard sand. Spiders can't climb sand.
If the new lighting engine is introduced will this break the build?
Were light can pass through any hole?
other mobs will spawn in the little extra area and block the system ;)
congratz on 19million views!
I altso saw that problem. Specially after I open the closing mekanism to fill up the killingchamber a second time.
Tried this and that and found out that there is veeery important where you stand.
If I stand on the block in the middle (of the three) one further away frome the spawning chamber from the block docm sowed in the vid.
All of a sudden the jam cleared and they all fall down.
Hey Doc! I loved your anvil video! It made me LOL!
:D
