Top 5 best mobs to farm in Minecraft

Mob farms are one of the most useful builds that a Minecraft player can create. They provide endless resources and XP - two things every player needs to be able to defeat the difficult late-game bosses.

While almost every mob can be effectively farmed, some mobs are more highly recommended due to the resources and XP that they drop.

0-2 Bones
0-2 Arrows
Naturally Spawned Equipment (8.5% chance)
5 XP

Due to the necessity of obtaining Blaze Rods, Blazes are an amazing mob to farm.

Blazes come in at #4 due to the difficulty of building a farm in the dangerous Nether, although it will certainly be worth it due to their high XP drop.

Blazes drop the following items:

0-1 Blaze Rod
10 XP

Pigs are a wonderful mob to farm due to their food drops.

Pigs drop Porkchops (as well as 1-3 XP), which fulfill five Hunger points, as well as 12.8 hunger saturation. Due to this, Cooked Porkchops are some of the most efficient food a player can have on them.

#2 - Bartering

One of the best Minecraft mob farms a player can make is a Piglin Bartering Farm, which will produce tons of amazing items.

These farms can be set up to automatically dispense Gold to the Piglin, which will then trade it for a random item. In the image seen above, the player has tons of storage for the Gold and Items.
