Like in other games, Minecraft also has an experience point system. Players can gather XP orbs to level up their experience in Minecraft. XP is required for enchanting, renaming name tags, repairing items, and more.

One of the best things about Minecraft is that many resources in the game can be auto farmed. Players can make automatic XP farms to get experience points quickly. Another way to gain XP is through manual methods like breeding animals, killing mobs, and so on.

This article highlights some of the best ways to farm XP points in Minecraft.

Even though this farm is for gold farming, players can also use it to increase their levels.

Zombie piglins are one of the most common mobs in the nether realm. When a player attacks any zombie piglin, all nearby zombie piglins start attacking the player. By abusing their behavior, players can create an automatic XP farm.

#1 - Enderman XP Farm
