Cave Spider XP Farm Without the Poison

Introduction

Abandoned mineshafts are dangerous, but a tamed cave spider farm gives steady XP and string without constant poison.

How It Works

By enclosing the spawner and funneling spiders through a tight chute with slabs and trapdoors, you neutralize their small hitbox advantage and avoid poison.

What You Need

- Slabs and Trapdoors
- Water Buckets
- Walls and Glass
- Hoppers and Chests
- Milk Buckets

Step-by-Step

Step 1: Secure the area and light up tunnels around the spawner.

Step 2: Build a water funnel that forces spiders into a 1-block slit.

Step 3: Use slabs to block their heads while you attack safely.

Step 4: Collect drops automatically with hoppers.

Tips

- Carry milk to cure poison if you make a mistake.
- Spawn-proof the whole mineshaft for better rates.
- Use a sweeping edge sword for faster clearing.

Final Thoughts

A clean design turns a terrifying spawner into a useful early-game XP source.
