Mobs are living entities that spawn almost everywhere in Minecraft. Common hostile mobs spawn more often than passive ones as their light level requirement is a lot less (seven or lower).

Most mobs in Minecraft will drop items when a player or a tamed wolf kills them. Some of the items dropped can be beneficial to the former. As they spawn a lot, a hostile mob farm can yield a lot of items when created correctly.

Step 5: Make the same collection and storage system as shown above. Players need to ensure that all hoppers are connected. Notably, the main hopper needs to be connected to the chest. Pull the lever and place a minecart with a hopper on the rail. Without further ado, push the minicart.
