Top 6 easy farms everyone should have in Minecraft
In Minecraft, players have to grind to get all kinds of resources repeatedly in order to survive and progress. Hence, the community has created various farms to automatically or semi-automatically get items and blocks. Creating farms has now become a massive part of the sandbox, without which heading forward can become difficult.
Here are some farms that most players should build since they offer some extremely important resources.

List of top six easy farms to make in Minecraft
6) Common hostile mob farm
Different hostile mobs drop different loot. Additionally, they drop XP that help players enchant their gear. Though spawner farms are great, players can also create a common hostile mob farm that attracts several regular hostile mobs and traps them in a room with gullies that have flowing water. The water flows to the center of the room, which has a long pit to the ground floor, where they all fall and get hurt.
Finally, players can stand near the bottom of the pit, outside the farm, and swing their weapons to easily kill these hostile mobs. At the bottom of the pit, there will also be a collection area that will keep all the dropped items, while players will automatically collect the XP.
5) Villager farm
Villagers are passive mobs that dwell in various villages. They can be employed for different jobs with a specific job site block. When employed, each type of villager will give certain items in exchange for emeralds. They can also take regular items in exchange for emeralds.
Since trading is a massively useful method to level up and get good loot, players can create a villager farm, where they can breed villagers and make several variants of professionals, each offering different trades. For example, several librarian villagers can be farmed to get all kinds of enchantments in the form of books.
4) Lava farm
Players can use all kinds of fuel to run a furnace in Minecraft. However, the longest-standing fuel is lava. One lava bucket can smelt 100 items per bucket, while coal can only burn eight. Hence, players can create a lava farm and stop worrying about running low on furnace fuel.
This can be done by placing a few cauldrons underneath a pointed dripstone attached to a solid dripstone block. On top of the dripstone block, players can place lava on top of each block. The lava will slowly drip in the cauldron through the pointed dripstone, but the lava on top will never run out.
3) Cow crusher farm
Food is one of the most important resources in Minecraft. Players will soon require it after they spawn in a new world. One of the best food items in the game is steak and pork chop, which can be made with cow and pig meat, respectively. Hence, another important yet easy farm to create is a cow crusher.
This farm is based on the concept that if a block has more than a certain number of entities, they start suffocating and dying until the maximum number of allowed entities is reached. Players can create a one-block pit and start cramming cows in them and breed them until they start suffocating and die. Below the pit, a storage system can be created that will collect raw meat and leather from the cows.
It is understandably cruel to create such a farm, but if players want surplus amounts of the best food items, this is a great farm to build.
2) Wheat farm
Those who do not want to create a cruel animal farm for food can go for a much simpler wheat farm. Wheat is one of the most basic crops players can grow. It can not only be used to craft bread as a food item for players, raw wheat can also be used to feed farm animals like cows, sheep and horses. Hence, it is an essential crop to farm.
Wheat can be farmed on farmland with a good amount of water fertilizing it.
1) Iron farm
One of the most often used earth minerals in Minecraft is iron. To create adequate armor, equipment and weapons before entering hazardous places, players immediately attempt to get iron when first arriving in a new world. They will still need iron one way or another even after they get diamond and netherite equipment.
Hence, an iron farm is a necessary contraption. One of the best ways to create an iron farm is by scaring villagers with a zombie and repeatedly forcing them to create iron golems. Villagers have a special tendency to create infinite amounts of iron golems if they feel threatened by a hostile mob. This mechanism is used by players to create iron farms. Players need to confine the spawning area of an iron golem and kill it with lava once it spawns to get iron ingots from them.
