A YouTuber has revealed one of the most time-efficient and simple ways to farm XP in Minecraft, without having to kill a countless amount of mobs.

Collecting XP in Minecraft is extremely important for players looking to upgrade and enchant their gear. With these enchantments costing a lot of experience over time, it’s easy to see why players are always struggling to collect enough.

Of course, a lot of players choose to find a spawner and grind mobs until they’ve reached a certain level. Unfortunately, this method comes with the risk of death and requires a player to sink a lot of time into killing creatures.

Luckily, there’s a way to create an XP farm in-game that automatically generates levels for players over time. This means a player can get on with other tasks while their XP farm does the work for them.
