Our First BIG Hostile Mob Farm! ▫ Minecraft Survival Guide (1.18 Tutorial Let's Play) [S2 E59]

The Minecraft Survival Guide Season 2 continues! Today we tackle a classic - our first overworld AFK hostile mob farm.
This tutorial will show you how to build a general hostile mob farm for drops from skeletons, spiders, zombies, and creepers. We begin farming gunpowder for fireworks and TNT, bones for crop farms and other bonemeal uses, string for bows and wool, and rotten flesh for trading...
But perhaps more importantly, *why* we're building the farm this way. We cover the basic concepts of the mob spawning radius and its relationship to the player position, the hostile mob cap, and how we can manipulate these to our advantage.
In the process we introduce soul flame, soul torches, lanterns, and most importantly soul campfires. We also build our first 'Etho' hopper clock, and gain the confidence to use Elytra more freely!
