Works! Build this over water and standing AFK at 130. It gave around 1000/h. Java singleplayer. Also changed glass to normal stone so it stays on 0 light.
You just elongate the creeper tunnel so that the water doesn't touch the campfires. Water travels ~7 blocks horizontally. So make an 8 block long tunnel @@aylawalker7584
I did some testing and found the actual rates and how to more than double them. The base farm makes about 150 gunpowder/hour (1/10th the advertised rates) and you also have to light up about 80 blocks around the farm plus nearby caves to get max rates. To improve the rates, you should: 1: replace the campfires with soul campfires to both kill the creepers faster, and to decrease the light level to allow more spawning 2: build up 119 (39 extra) scaffolding instead of 80 to move the despawn sphere up high enough so you don't have to light up any caves, and so you only have to light up about 30 blocks around the farm (note: if you build up more than 119 scaffolding, the farm will break). With both these upgrades, the farm gets about 360 gunpowder/hour. Hope this helps!
For anyone wondering, it works perfectly in 1.20.1. However, be careful. As literally every comment says go up 115…. but ONLY 115. I made mine about 130 and it didn’t work and I had no idea why. Then I just moved the afk platform down to 115 and it started working perfectly. This way you don’t have to light up caves… but I’d still suggest lighting up around the farm, it only took me like 40 torches or so. Maybe even turn your render distance down.
@@arnoldhy7867 Nope. I just towered up 115 and lit up I’d say 1 1/2 chunks around the farm. Then when I was on the AFK platform I turned my render distance down to 3 chunks. I made 38 gunpowder with like 3 mins of AFKing.
@@Frogguy19 I made mine from the side up 115 but on top would probably work better ngl. You could always just test it. Build one on top and see how much you get in 5 mins and then build one to the side and see how much
Farm works great in 1.20.1. I advise anyone who plans on building it to read the comments though, some give really good advice to make the farm yield better results
One of the things I haven't seen in the comments yet: put your cats in boats. One of mine got pushed into the water at some point and died on the fire before I added the boats. Not sure how it happened but now it won't again.
this is a great farm. keep in mind that our spawn radius is 128 so going up only 80 means you'll need to be sure to light up caves up to below. the point of this farm and the afk spot is that you're up at such a height that only this build is within your spawn radius AND the build is made in such a way that only creepers can spawn in it. i've always gone up about 115 blocks myself.
@@enginkuvrag5242 nope its not related to chunks or whatever and u dont need to go up 115 or 128 blocks because in caves there are darkness ok but according to minecraft codes the mobs will only spawn on land in this farm but to 128 blocks far from north east south West but if your place torches around the farm then ,Minecraft_source(block)/5745 will be blocked and creeper will not spawn outside the farm the far
For anyone on bedrock/PE, I had to follow these steps to make it work: -use full blocks instead of slabs on roof, and light up the roof -instead of carpet, place buttons, with one block gaps in between on the floor. This leaves only 1x1 spots for creepers, so spiders don't spawn (Think checkerboard pattern) -Place trapdoors on the ceiling above the floor blocks WITHOUT buttons on them (with one block gaps inbetween) The blocks with buttons are spawn proof, so won't need trapdoors above them. -place AFK area 24 blocks up, as bedrock spawn distance is smaller -Light up surrounding area and caves -Move campfires twice as far away, as the light reduces spawn rates -This farm works best at night Hope this helps someone ^^ Also I set my simulation distance to 4 chunks, so if yours is higher and you don't want to change it, you'll have to either move your afk platform higher up, or light up more of the surrounding area Edit: Also make sure there are no trapdoors on the ceiling above the pit, this makes it easier for creepers to pathfind into it
It works pretty much exclusively at night, as far as I can tell. Some fixes might be to: -Make sure cats are in the correct spots -Try AFKing down/up 2-4 blocks from the 24-block AFK spot, in case your simulation distance is different -Make a copy of the world and use spectator mode to look for any caves you missed lighting up -Set your simulation distance (not render distance) to 4 -Change world setting to peaceful, and then back to hard
Light from the campfires leaks and lights up a few blocks of the spawning area which reduces efficiency abit. You can either replace them with magma blocks and hopper in minecarts like someone said or just move the campfires a few blocks down. Also remember to light up the surface and go up 110ish blocks up with scaffolding so no mobs spawn outside the spawning area.

@@barczu6851 nope doesnt have to be scaffolding its easier to use scaffolding for this stuff because building with ladders is ass but it works the same and villagers are passive mobs so they shouldnt affect the spawning of hostile mobs i believe. u should light up the area around the farm and go around the 115-120 blocks up. u cant go too high either because then u too far and they wont spawn

Thanks dude I was a bit skeptical on how this could work but it does in just 1 minute I already got 12 gunpowder it’s a whole lot faster than hunting for them
I built this farm on my 1.19.3 vanilla server with a few minor changes, which I'll explain below. In 2.5 hours, I got 10 stacks of gunpowder. I believe the rates get worse if there's more people on the server, however I was the only on for the entire time I was AFK. So, the changes: I built the farm over an ocean, so that mobs can't spawn in the caves or whatever below the farm, assuming they're close enough to still be loaded in. Also saves some torches since I don't have to light up the nearby area or caves. I replaced the campfires with soulfire campfires, as they do more damage. Shouldn't affect rates, but I'm listing everything here. I also broke the two blocks where the water ends, so that the water will flow an extra 7 or 8 blocks. This places the campfires farther away, reducing the amount of light leaking through into the spawning area. I didn't check if it would actually be necessary with soulfire campfires, since IIRC they emit less light, but I did it anyways. I went up about 110 blocks in scaffolding, making the farm slightly more efficient, since the spawning radius is 128 for mobs. I do highly recommend building this, and if those rates aren't enough for you, remember you can always stack more ontop. I also earned 12 stacks of iron blocks from the iron farm which was also loaded in while I was AFKing.

I love how you got 112 gunpodwer in 10 minutes, wich is 672 per hour, put the title says 1500+ per hour Edit: wow im getting 46 gunpowder an hour nice farm design
Build it in a single player world and I have to say I am impressed by how efficient it is. I decorated the afk spot to look like a hot air balloon and removed the scafolding as I will never have firework shortages ever again.
Never got the farm to work (Bedrock 1.20 PS5), but in case it aids anyone else, here’s some tips that other comments have suggested. (Didn’t work for me, but they might for you.) 1: Light up all caves. 2: Build AFK location 110-120 blocks higher than the campfire. 3: Set Render Distance to 10-12 chunks. 4: Use full blocks, not slabs. 5: Move Campfire lower if light is being emitted into the farm. 6: You can build multiple (if it works to begin with), but they must be 128 blocks apart.
@@svendesce i think its a visual bug in java but in bedrock the light levels are actually affected. At least thats what ive heard on certain farms where this occurs
I build it and it won't work. Nothing spawns. I lit up caves and about 1 1/2 chunks and nothing spawns. I'm playing on ps4 and used full blocks for the roof so no light comes in but it won't work. Pls I need some help
For anyone upset about powder rates and dont wanna start over, I've built this farm before. Its pretty mid on its own. But it is stackable. I stacked five and was pretty set for gun powder.
If I were to build this in an ocean would I still need to build the 115 block platform or can I stand in the kill room with a looting lll and do it myself for more gunpowder
Quick tip: If you dont have any soul campfire, dig a hole down from the campfires and set it up there. Use the same thing for the chest n stuff but lead a staircase down to it. This should help prevent light bleeding outside.
For those having issues with no creepers spawning, or very low rates, I found they won't spawn while the cats are visible. I made the blocks that the cats sit on move up and down with sticky pistons on a clock and I get creepers spawning now.
I spent hours trying to fix this on bedrock. 2 tips, firstly put your render distance to 4. Secondly don’t build up to 80 from the middle it’s too high, build up around 30 ish. Also try make it so other mobs can’t spawn so lots of torches and if you wanna take it a step further place blocks all around the farm that mobs can’t spawn on at all, like sheep etc. But yeah that’s what worked for me!
Hi blaze! It's me! I like this creeper farm more than the giga one! :D Because it is more easier to build and don't take a lot of places and it give me a great idea!
Tip if u light up ur around ur creeper farm but still can't get creeper to spawn build it in the skye it works for me and it is useful I playing in 1.19
@@ispi1363 around 115 blocks or higher, that's because if you build it on the floor the creepers that should spawn inside the farm, can spawn anywhere around 128 blocks of you, so if you have any hole to fit a creeper around 128 blocks around you they have a chance to spawn in there, doing it on the sky makes sure that there aren't any possible spawns nearby so all the creepers spawn directly inside the farm, making it way more effective
Just a couple tips from me if you wanna spice up your farm: 1.) Instead of scaffolding make a water elevator from kelp (you can find plenty of tutorials here on youtube if you don't know how to do that) You'll need more resources but it'll make getting to your afk spot much more convenient 2.) Instead of digging until you reach the water's limit you can just use signs on both sides of the tunnel (on the same level as the water) to stop the flow. Only works if the water is two blocks wide like in this tutorial.
This works amazing half and hour and I got a stack and a half, it works but you HAVE TO USE SOUL FIRE CAMP FIRES and LIGHT UP NEAR BY CAVES then go to the afk point set your RENDER DISTANCE TO 13 and SIMULATION DISTANCE TO MAX Also I built this in bedrock months back and it doesn’t work on bedrock even if you use full blocks as roof instead of slab cuz on bedrock light can get through a half slab
@@chochuD72 soul fire campfires give off no light so no matter what mobs can spawn. With normal campfires it can send a little bit of light to the creeper spawn area, but also I had way better numbers with gunpowder when I lit up nearby caves and replaced with soul fire campfires
@@chochuD72 just stroll down the cave under it see if there are any or how far it goes down and just light it up accordingly I lit up like 40 blocks under service
@@DGomez__ A soul campfire deals more damage to mobs, so they spend less time in the killing chamber. You get loot faster, and the mobs do not take up the mob cap longer than needed, letting more spawn.
@@BlazeDude Hey Dude Can you help Me Me and my friend is playing on mobile we made this but light was going in so we add a shield covering the slabs and i moved the camp fire a little far like 20 blocks but water was going therr too But still No creeper spawning even there is no light please dude we need gunpowder
To be clear... your example got you 112 gunpowder in 10mins... that's 672 per hour NOT more than 3000! If you want more, you need to stack more levels on top.
If you add a trident kill chamber, instead of camp fires, you can use this as an XP farm 🤷 Edit: Also you can increase the drop rates just by holding a looting sword while the trident kill chamber is active 😊
This only works for bedrock, and even in bedrock it wouldn’t work. You have to have distance from the farm, but to use the trident killer, you have to be right next to it. The only way for this to work would be to make a bubble elevator to your afk spot
This is good, The farm works. But i see you said you need the afk spot, but i think its not, i leave the farm for around 3 hours of ancient debri fking mining and i got around 6 stack or 6 stack 57 gunpowder, So there's no issue with the farm even u leave it afk or mining for hours or doing something so long😊

This is a GREAT 👍 farm! For the time it takes it still gives a good amount of gun powder for the time out in 😁!! I got about 30 gun Powder in 15 minutes even without lighting up the caves! Definitely a farm that would work beautifully well in spawn chunks!
this farm is awesome! super easy to build but i recommend going up around 115 blocks in the air because when i was at 80 nothing spawned in and the creeper farm was not working. thanks for the farm🎉
Built this 5 layers high and it pumps out gunpowder. I'm later into the game and I built this with wither roses and it improves the rates a ton. They can fall straight onto the flowers, no needed for water, and kills them faster than an campfire (aka more spawns). Even better, no need for a weird collection system because you can put the wither roses on soul sand which hoppers can absorb through. If you have the ability to get 10 wither roses, make the upgrade.
@@nadiaszostak1494 I do not play on bedrock but my killing chamber design should work as long as hoppers can pick up through soul sand (NOT SOIL) in bedrock. I would read other comments for more recommendations on how to optimize the farm for bedrock but the wither rose kill chamber is much better than the campfires. Try it out!😆
thank you so much, finally found the solution for my fireworks. also, try to replace the carpet with a slab to prevent spider spawning. and for the afk spot try 115 block.
Hey dude, my question is that instead if building the farm down and afk up, can we do the opposite? Like we build it up and just stay down and work like is that fine? will it be the same results of afk ing up? I hope u understood what i said
it won't be as efficient since the spawning happens 128 blocks around you in all directions (sphere), because of that you will have to also prevent the spawning of other hostile mobs under you in caves, water caves, open spaces, etc. On the other hand when you are above 90%+ of the spawning sphere is occupied by air, so other mobs can't spawn, except for the part on the ground where the farm is located.
For Peeps Who are building this in 1.20+ , So The Afk Spot Should be 115 Blocks! And Trust Me Lighting up works very well Light The Whole Area As Much As You Can Trust ME Guys it will be efficient because there is no place for mobs to spawn other that your farm , Always ALWAYS!!!!!!! Use Soul Campfire if You use normal ones 4 or 5 blocks are lighted by 1 2 light levels mobs will only spawn at light level 0 So Enjoy!
(1.19.3 Java) Made this in the middle of the deep ocean that has a very low floor, also used buttons but it didn't stop spiders from spawning, carpets did the trick however. Using your afk farm method barely got me any creepers, instead I went up 70 blocks for the afk farm from the first creeper spawning floor and it got me tons of creepers spawning.
Spiders are spawning in mine on Bedrock idk why. I made sure the carpets and everything were spaced correctly but I'm still getting spiders. The rates are really slow too even on Hard mode
try putting the carpets so that there are no gaps of four. probably need more. and to improve rates on bedrock stack the farm on top of each other maybe another five layers or so but keep afk spot the same or about 30 blocks higher
I'm in 1.21, in + - 15 minutes, i got 39 gunpowder, equating to around 156 per hour, no where near 1500 lmao. Even though the title is misleading, very easy farm, would still recommend
I lit up surrounding area and made it all correctly didn't spawn for me maybe cause it's too close to my home and auto farms so imma move it a good bit out on a neighboring island
It’s a good farm that’s easy to build, but the rates are heavily exaggerated, after an hour I got a little under 4 stacks with no caves nearby and the surrounding area lit up.
What game difficulty was it set to? What was your simulation and render distance set to and how much higher do you have to afk per layer you add to the farm?
Building this in the world I play with my fiance. I have an 8x8 chunk area covered in slabs for an industrial district and afk about 100 blocks about it - fingers crossed it works okay!

I did some testing and found the actual rates and how to more than double them. The base farm makes about 150 gunpowder/hour (1/10th the advertised rates) and you also have to light up about 80 blocks around the farm plus nearby caves to get max rates. To improve the rates, you should:
1: replace the campfires with soul campfires to both kill the creepers faster, and to decrease the light level to allow more spawning
2: build up 119 (39 extra) scaffolding instead of 80 to move the despawn sphere up high enough so you don't have to light up any caves, and so you only have to light up about 30 blocks around the farm (note: if you build up more than 119 scaffolding, the farm will break).
With both these upgrades, the farm gets about 360 gunpowder/hour. Hope this helps!

Not sure how 120 gunpowder * 6 is over 3000 but farm works well given how easy it is to build it.
i think if u make more layers u can get 3000 p h
i think so XD
Build it in a single player world and I have to say I am impressed by how efficient it is. I decorated the afk spot to look like a hot air balloon and removed the scafolding as I will never have firework shortages ever again.
Never got the farm to work (Bedrock 1.20 PS5), but in case it aids anyone else, here’s some tips that other comments have suggested.
(Didn’t work for me, but they might for you.)
1: Light up all caves.
2: Build AFK location 110-120 blocks higher than the campfire.
3: Set Render Distance to 10-12 chunks.
4: Use full blocks, not slabs.
5: Move Campfire lower if light is being emitted into the farm.
6: You can build multiple (if it works to begin with), but they must be 128 blocks apart.
Thanks you for the info bro
Use soul campfires instead of normal campfires to make it more efficient

I don't know if it was me but the slabs on the roof were letting in light so I replaced them with full blocks. Great farm
Same
@@svendesce i think its a visual bug in java but in bedrock the light levels are actually affected. At least thats what ive heard on certain farms where this occurs
exactly, i build it two times and it didnt work, well it works now. Thnaks for the tip!
Bc ur on bedrock version
I build it and it won't work. Nothing spawns. I lit up caves and about 1 1/2 chunks and nothing spawns.
I'm playing on ps4 and used full blocks for the roof so no light comes in but it won't work. Pls I need some help
i love guy like you i have a lot of problem making farms like that but its so easy thank to video like these
For anyone upset about powder rates and dont wanna start over, I've built this farm before. Its pretty mid on its own. But it is stackable. I stacked five and was pretty set for gun powder.
what heigh that i should build the farm with?
@zzzzlok I'm not certain. I imagine it would depend on what ur cave lighting is like. Ive heard people say lower is better, but idk
when u stack them how high up did u go? still 115 from the top or lower? i stacked 4 and dont know which high i need to stand now...
If I were to build this in an ocean would I still need to build the 115 block platform or can I stand in the kill room with a looting lll and do it myself for more gunpowder
Quick tip: If you dont have any soul campfire, dig a hole down from the campfires and set it up there. Use the same thing for the chest n stuff but lead a staircase down to it. This should help prevent light bleeding outside.
For those having issues with no creepers spawning, or very low rates, I found they won't spawn while the cats are visible. I made the blocks that the cats sit on move up and down with sticky pistons on a clock and I get creepers spawning now.
Is Y coordinate 115 or we have to place 115 scaffoldings or 80 scaffoldings ?
Please explain
How u do that?

if your making the farm in the new 1.20 the afk platform has to be around 115 blocks high not 80
Just built it and it works. While I don’t get 3000 an hour I do get a good bit and was easy to build. Great tutorial
Did you build on bedrock? Mine does not work
@@aidennormand5377 on Java
how much do you get an hour?
@@zachisblacks I get 200-300
It dont works on 1.19.2 i dont know WhatsApp Wrangler ist all like in the videi
make sure to use a soul campfire! the regular campfires invalidate 1/3 of the spawning spaces due to light!
I spent hours trying to fix this on bedrock. 2 tips, firstly put your render distance to 4. Secondly don’t build up to 80 from the middle it’s too high, build up around 30 ish.
Also try make it so other mobs can’t spawn so lots of torches and if you wanna take it a step further place blocks all around the farm that mobs can’t spawn on at all, like sheep etc.
But yeah that’s what worked for me!
I’ll try the 30 blocks up, but I’ve tried lots of things that don’t seem to work
Place solid blocks on the trap doors and on top of them place slabs to prevent nearby light from disrupting the spawning!
Thanks
still works in the latest version instead of 80 do 115 blocks as everyone suggests
I've built it identical to this and 2 hours of afk and not a single drop on hard so I've got no idea
Hi blaze! It's me! I like this creeper farm more than the giga one! :D
Because it is more easier to build and don't take a lot of places and it give me a great idea!
Oh nice!
Dont go only 80 blocks high, i thought that farm isnt working but when u go about 115 blocks high farm works perfectly, u earned a sub good job
I was having many issues with this farm but then I built it far out in the ocean and it worked so that’s my recommendation if your having issues
Can I build many farms near each other?
@@Asbenthor Build them about 128 Blocks away from each other for best results😊
Tip if u light up ur around ur creeper farm but still can't get creeper to spawn build it in the skye it works for me and it is useful I playing in 1.19
how high in the sky
@@ispi1363 around 115 blocks or higher, that's because if you build it on the floor the creepers that should spawn inside the farm, can spawn anywhere around 128 blocks of you, so if you have any hole to fit a creeper around 128 blocks around you they have a chance to spawn in there, doing it on the sky makes sure that there aren't any possible spawns nearby so all the creepers spawn directly inside the farm, making it way more effective

@@BlazeDude I just realised I commented the same thing 10mo ago
@@tomgoa5678 👀
Just a couple tips from me if you wanna spice up your farm:
1.) Instead of scaffolding make a water elevator from kelp (you can find plenty of tutorials here on youtube if you don't know how to do that) You'll need more resources but it'll make getting to your afk spot much more convenient
2.) Instead of digging until you reach the water's limit you can just use signs on both sides of the tunnel (on the same level as the water) to stop the flow. Only works if the water is two blocks wide like in this tutorial.
For anyone wondering if the farm doesn't work instead of putting slabs for the roof put blocks
Nvm still doesnt work
@@Enderman78201try building the farm at least 128 blocks above surface. Also, why did you say "nvm"? You're not the OP.
This works amazing half and hour and I got a stack and a half, it works but you HAVE TO USE SOUL FIRE CAMP FIRES and LIGHT UP NEAR BY CAVES then go to the afk point set your RENDER DISTANCE TO 13 and SIMULATION DISTANCE TO MAX
Also I built this in bedrock months back and it doesn’t work on bedrock even if you use full blocks as roof instead of slab cuz on bedrock light can get through a half slab
What happens if I don't use soul campfires?
And bow near does the cave have to be please?
@@chochuD72 soul fire campfires give off no light so no matter what mobs can spawn. With normal campfires it can send a little bit of light to the creeper spawn area, but also I had way better numbers with gunpowder when I lit up nearby caves and replaced with soul fire campfires
@@KingPigeon5988 ok thx a lot
@@chochuD72 just stroll down the cave under it see if there are any or how far it goes down and just light it up accordingly I lit up like 40 blocks under service
Soul campfire is more efficient than the normal variant, so if you can, get those!
How is it more efficient?
@@DGomez__ A soul campfire deals more damage to mobs, so they spend less time in the killing chamber. You get loot faster, and the mobs do not take up the mob cap longer than needed, letting more spawn.
I would recommend building an afk sugarcane farm as well, to get good rockets
amazing farm wasn't working at first but then I listened to some of the comments and it worked great

@@AhmetArdaKilinc Light up the Caves underneath the Farm and also Check your Render distance and Set the difficulty to Hard.
To be clear... your example got you 112 gunpowder in 10mins... that's 672 per hour NOT more than 3000! If you want more, you need to stack more levels on top.
you just earned a subscriber. great job!
Thanks! After some modifications for Bedrock I finally got it working! I'm going to build four of these to see if I can increase production. :)
i changed mine to 100 blocks high and it finally worked 😁
how many layers did you build?
If you add a trident kill chamber, instead of camp fires, you can use this as an XP farm 🤷
Edit: Also you can increase the drop rates just by holding a looting sword while the trident kill chamber is active 😊
the trident killer only works for bedrock edition.
Not in real mc
This only works for bedrock, and even in bedrock it wouldn’t work. You have to have distance from the farm, but to use the trident killer, you have to be right next to it. The only way for this to work would be to make a bubble elevator to your afk spot
@@nonstopfern5900 cierto
This is good, The farm works. But i see you said you need the afk spot, but i think its not, i leave the farm for around 3 hours of ancient debri fking mining and i got around 6 stack or 6 stack 57 gunpowder, So there's no issue with the farm even u leave it afk or mining for hours or doing something so long😊

This is a GREAT 👍 farm! For the time it takes it still gives a good amount of gun powder for the time out in 😁!! I got about 30 gun Powder in 15 minutes even without lighting up the caves! Definitely a farm that would work beautifully well in spawn chunks!
yo you deserve more respect nice work
You're welcome!
this farm is awesome! super easy to build but i recommend going up around 115 blocks in the air because when i was at 80 nothing spawned in and the creeper farm was not working. thanks for the farm🎉
Good to know!
You on bedrock?
for me nothings spawning at 80 or 115 blocks up
nvm I went 10-15 blocks down and it's working now
@@BlazeDude does it work in bedrock?
Great farm really helps
Built this 5 layers high and it pumps out gunpowder. I'm later into the game and I built this with wither roses and it improves the rates a ton. They can fall straight onto the flowers, no needed for water, and kills them faster than an campfire (aka more spawns). Even better, no need for a weird collection system because you can put the wither roses on soul sand which hoppers can absorb through. If you have the ability to get 10 wither roses, make the upgrade.
Does this work In bedrock
@@nadiaszostak1494 I do not play on bedrock but my killing chamber design should work as long as hoppers can pick up through soul sand (NOT SOIL) in bedrock. I would read other comments for more recommendations on how to optimize the farm for bedrock but the wither rose kill chamber is much better than the campfires. Try it out!😆
thank you so much, finally found the solution for my fireworks. also, try to replace the carpet with a slab to prevent spider spawning. and for the afk spot try 115 block.

@@-.Donut.- nah i got a job and a girlfriend by now. not playing too much minecraft anymore
it's totally not efficient it gives me like 1 gunpowder per 5 minutes and sometimes even 0
Hey dude, my question is that instead if building the farm down and afk up, can we do the opposite? Like we build it up and just stay down and work like is that fine? will it be the same results of afk ing up? I hope u understood what i said
i have thought about this for a while now and i think it will works the same u just need more torches for wider range of area where mobs cant spawn
it won't be as efficient since the spawning happens 128 blocks around you in all directions (sphere), because of that you will have to also prevent the spawning of other hostile mobs under you in caves, water caves, open spaces, etc. On the other hand when you are above 90%+ of the spawning sphere is occupied by air, so other mobs can't spawn, except for the part on the ground where the farm is located.
No
For Peeps Who are building this in 1.20+ , So The Afk Spot Should be 115 Blocks! And Trust Me Lighting up works very well Light The Whole Area As Much As You Can Trust ME Guys it will be efficient because there is no place for mobs to spawn other that your farm , Always ALWAYS!!!!!!! Use Soul Campfire
if You use normal ones 4 or 5 blocks are lighted by 1 2 light levels mobs will only spawn at light level 0
So Enjoy!

Thanks so much the video helped me alot now i have infinite rockets

Made this in the middle of the deep ocean that has a very low floor, also used buttons but it didn't stop spiders from spawning, carpets did the trick however.
Using your afk farm method barely got me any creepers, instead I went up 70 blocks for the afk farm from the first creeper spawning floor and it got me tons of creepers spawning.
it's the lighiting in the latest update if it's more than 0 it mobs won't spawn .the campfire makes it around 2

Spiders are spawning in mine on Bedrock idk why. I made sure the carpets and everything were spaced correctly but I'm still getting spiders. The rates are really slow too even on Hard mode
try putting the carpets so that there are no gaps of four. probably need more. and to improve rates on bedrock stack the farm on top of each other maybe another five layers or so but keep afk spot the same or about 30 blocks higher
just replace carpets with buttons for not spider spawning
i love how this works alot better than my old farm, my old farm barely gave me 10 per irl day

You should need to light up the Caves underneath the Farm, so that no Mob spawn there.
I lit up surrounding area and made it all correctly didn't spawn for me maybe cause it's too close to my home and auto farms so imma move it a good bit out on a neighboring island
can you add more layers to increase the efficinency of the farm?
Thats What i am thinking

Add creeper generators and replace the standard campfires with soul campfires, and you'll be able to bring in more gunpowder.
its me or did the yellow cat turned into black?
What game difficulty was it set to? What was your simulation and render distance set to and how much higher do you have to afk per layer you add to the farm?
You shouldn't have to make the afk platform higher with each layer, if you do you could stop spawning on the lower layers
H
I underestimated you, i'm sorry. It works amazing!
question though, i saw so so so many creepers with my free cam using tweakeroo and for some reason i only got 1 stack 32 ??
Because sometimes when a Creeper dies, it may not drop the gunpowder.
