| Firework rockets for elytra | Gunpowder (creeper) farm |
| Trading emeralds | Raid farm or villager trading hall |
| Building materials | Tree farm or cobblestone generator |
| Nether travel highway | Ice farm (for blue ice) |

General tips for all farms
- Build mob farms high in the sky. This eliminates ground-level spawns that waste the mob cap. Y=200+ is ideal.
- Spawn-proof surrounding areas. Place slabs, carpets, or buttons on all exposed surfaces within 128 blocks of your AFK position.
- Use hoppers and chests for collection. Items despawn after 5 minutes on the ground. Always collect drops automatically.
- Name-tag important mobs. Villagers, zombies used for scaring, and endermites used as lures should all be name-tagged to prevent despawning.
- Test before building large. Build a small prototype first, verify it works, then scale up.
- Check server rules. Some servers limit entity counts, disable TNT duplication, or restrict certain farm types. Verify with your server administrator before investing time.
