Expand this one to find out what type of spawner it is. Once you find the spawner you are looking for, note the coordinates and launch Minecraft and go to the coordinates. If all of this works, you should be looking at a spawner just waiting to be turned into a mob grinding farm.

So what do you do with this information? One problem I have is that I find an amazing place to build a base but I waste a ton of time looking for a mob spawner for a mob farm only to find none or it isn't the type of spawner I'm looking for. Go to a location that I want to build a base. Get the coordinates (This is step 1 from above) and do steps 1-9 above.įind a chunk that is near your coordinates from step 1 Run around on the surface all around the area to generate all of the chunks in the general area.Ĭhunks are generated in a radius around you so this shouldn't take long. Look at the region the chunk is in and sort by regionĪll of mob spawners listed under the same region should be within a 32x32 chunks (512x512 blocks)įind the spawner type that you are looking for and note the coordinates for later. When looking at the search results, sort by chunk. While not exact, you should see every once in a while a few mob spawners that are within a few numbers of the entity's coordinates.įor example (211, 26, 402) and (216, 26, 405) is on the same level and only a few blocks away from each other.īy specifying conditions, you can further refine the search. For example, we can filter only specific spawners by entering "EntityIdentifier = minecraft:zombie" in the conditions field without the quotes. Search for the mob name (skeleton, zombie, slime) for the id field. Useful for finding slime chunks but be aware that there may be an issue due to despawning.
