Gold Farm Primer with Nether Portals

Introduction

If you want a constant flow of gold and XP, a portal-based gold farm is a powerful mid-to-late game project that works even without complicated mobs.

How It Works

Large Overworld portal arrays spawn zombie piglins when lit and ticked. Water and trapdoors guide spawns to a killing chamber while looting swords or trident killers finish the job.

What You Need

- Obsidian
- Flint and Steel
- Trapdoors
- Water Streams
- Hoppers and Chests
- Trident or Looting Sword

Step-by-Step

Step 1: Build multiple giant portals in a grid, spaced so spawns collect efficiently.

Step 2: Use dispensers to light and unlight portals if you follow designs that require cycling.

Step 3: Create a funnel that pushes piglins into a safe killing chamber.

Step 4: Sort nuggets, rotten flesh, and gold ingots automatically.

Tips

- Place the farm far from villages to reduce interference.
- Smelt nuggets into ingots and trade with piglins for utilities.
- Add an XP pickup to repair mending gear.

Final Thoughts

A portal gold farm funds bartering and golden carrots, making every other project easier.
