In Minecraft, players can interact with various types of mobs, and over the years, the Minecraft community has built various farms out of these mobs. As we all know, collecting resources is a crucial part of survival in the game. Collecting resources manually and filling up XP bars is a time-consuming process and quite hectic for the players. Through automatic mob farms, these problems can be efficiently solved, as few of these mobs drop different items upon death that are quite useful.

Here are the best Minecraft mob farms in 2025 with the expected XP yields:
1. Blaze
Blazes can be found in the nether world, and they spawn naturally from the fortress spawners. When you kill one Blaze, it drops around 10 XP, and there is a 50% chance of it dropping Blaze rods. Blazes are the only source of blaze rods, which are very essential for brewing potions and fueling furnaces, as one rod can smelt up to 12 times. Creating a Blaze farm will help you gain XP and blaze rods, but you have to be very careful, as Blazes are dangerous and hostile mobs.
2. Enderman
Enderman are one of the famous mobs in Minecraft and also quite dangerous. Each Enderman drops around 5 XP points and has a 50% chance to drop an ender pearl. Ender pearls help players to instantly teleport in the direction we throw them in and help in crafting ender chests. To create an Enderman farm, you first have to defeat the Ender Dragon and then build a farm on the main island, as the spawn rate of Endermen is high over there. This farm can make you reach XP level 30 in under a minute.
3. Guardian
Guardians are found in ocean monuments, and they offer one of the fastest XP yields, which goes up to 180,000 XP per hour. Additionally, they drop prismarine shards and crystals used for decorative blocks.
4. Slime
Slime is one of the mobs in Minecraft that drops slime chunks when defeated, through which players can produce slimeballs. These slimeballs can be used to craft sticky pistons, magma cream, and slime blocks. Slimes drop XP based on their size: large slimes drop around 4, medium ones around 2, and small ones can drop one experience point. On death these slimes split into smaller slimes, so players can gain around 28 XP from killing a large slime.
5. Phantom
Phantoms are the mobs that appear in the open sky when the players avoid sleep for at least three in-game days. Upon defeat, Phantom drops membranes that are used in brewing and repairing elytra. It is one of the best farms where players can get a lot of loot while staying AFK, making it a lazy loot farm.
These mob farms are the best ones in 2025, where players can automate the collection of resources and XPs without wasting too much time and effort. There are many mob farms available, but these are the top 5 must-have mob farms in 2025.
