If you're a Minecraft player, you know how important it is to earn experience points (XP). With XP, you can enchant weapons and tools, repair items, and even create a beacon. One of the best ways to farm XP is by building a cave spider farm. This guide will show you how to build a cave spider farm in Minecraft 1.14.

What is a Cave Spider XP Farm?

A cave spider XP farm is a structure that allows you to farm experience points by killing cave spiders. Cave spiders are one of the few mobs in Minecraft that can be farmed for XP. They spawn naturally in mineshafts, and can also be found in spider spawner rooms.

Materials Needed

To build a cave spider XP farm, you will need the following materials:

• Stone bricks or cobblestone
• Iron bars or glass panes
• Water bucket
• Lava bucket (optional)
• Redstone torches
• Redstone dust
• Building blocks (e.g. dirt, cobblestone, etc.)
• Torch
• Pickaxe

Step-by-Step Guide

Here's how to build a cave spider XP farm:

1. Find a mineshaft.

The first step is to find a mineshaft. They can be found underground, and are usually located near strongholds.

2. Find a spider spawner room.

Once you've found a mineshaft, look for a spider spawner room. Spider spawner rooms are rooms that contain a spider spawner. These spawners can spawn cave spiders, which you will use to farm XP.

3. Clear the area around the spawner.

Clear out a 9x9 area around the spider spawner. You will need this space to build the farm.

4. Build a perimeter wall.

Build a perimeter wall around the 9x9 area. Use stone bricks or cobblestone for the wall.

5. Add water to the corners.

Add water to the corners of the perimeter wall. This will make sure that all cave spiders are pushed towards the center of the farm.

6. Add iron bars or glass panes to the top of the wall.

Add iron bars or glass panes to the top of the perimeter wall. This will prevent the cave spiders from climbing out of the farm.

7. Add water to the center of the farm.

Add water to the center of the farm. This will push the cave spiders towards a collection point.

8. Build a collection point.

Build a collection point at the end of the water flow. This is where the cave spiders will be killed and their XP collected.

9. Build a killing chamber.

Build a killing chamber above the collection point. This chamber should be 3 blocks high, and should have a 2-block high opening at the bottom.

10. Add lava to the killing chamber (optional).

Add lava to the killing chamber if you want to kill the cave spiders quickly. This will also prevent them from clogging up the killing chamber.

11. Add redstone torches to the walls.

Add redstone torches to the walls of the perimeter. This will prevent cave spiders from spawning outside of the farm.

12. Add redstone dust to the walls.

Add redstone dust to the walls of the perimeter. This will power the redstone torches and prevent cave spiders from spawning outside of the farm.

13. Add a door to the perimeter wall.

Add a door to the perimeter wall. This will allow you to enter and exit the farm safely.

14. Build a tunnel to the surface.

Build a tunnel from the farm to the surface. This will allow you to access the farm easily.

15. Add torches to the tunnel.

Add torches to the tunnel to prevent mobs from spawning inside.

16. Activate the spawner.

Activate the spider spawner by placing torches around it. This will prevent other mobs from spawning, and will allow cave spiders to spawn in the spawner room.

17. Wait for the cave spiders to spawn.

Wait for the cave spiders to spawn in the spawner room. You will need to be patient, as it may take some time for them to start spawning.

18. Collect the XP.

When the cave spiders are pushed towards the collection point, kill them and collect their XP.

19. Repeat the process.

Repeat the process as many times as you like to farm XP.

Tips for Building a Cave Spider XP Farm

Here are some tips to keep in mind when building a cave spider XP farm:

• Make sure to light up the surrounding caves to prevent mobs from spawning outside of the farm.
• Be careful when building the killing chamber, as cave spiders can fit through small gaps.
• If you don't want to use lava in the killing chamber, you can use a piston to crush the cave spiders instead.
• Use a silk touch pickaxe to collect the spider spawner. This will allow you to move it to a different location.
• Don't forget to add a roof to the farm to prevent mobs from spawning inside.
