About this farm
A zombie farm is built around a natural spawner found in a dungeon. Zombies spawn inside the spawner room, and a water channel carries them to the kill chamber. You deal the final blow and collect the XP and the loot: rotten flesh, iron ingots, carrots and potatoes. It's one of the simplest and most efficient early-game XP farms. All you have to do is find the spawner, light up the area around it, and build an 8-block-long water channel and a 22-block-deep drop shaft, so the fall leaves the zombies with 1 HP. One hit with a sword is enough to kill them and collect the full XP.

Tips and tricks
- The spawner only activates when you're within 16 blocks of it, so build your AFK platform close by.
- Zombies that fall 22 blocks are left with 1 HP, so a single punch is enough.
- Put Looting III on your sword to raise the chance of rare drops.
- To turn it into a drowned farm, add a 1-block water channel in front of the kill chamber.
