It can be tedious and there's also no telling which mobs will spawn, if any. Gamers may spend a long time looking for that second cow so they can breed them. Ultimately, that's what many players do and it can be frustrating. However, there is an easier way. can serve as an effective way of catching unsuspecting mobs of any kind. These can also be somewhat AFK, which is a huge bonus. Here are a few that players should try out.

It will also be available to everyone as soon as the 1.19 update is released to the public, which should be sometime soon. give off a redstone pulse when they sense motion. These can be set up with sticky pistons to remove the ground beneath mobs that trigger the sensor. The hole they fall into can't be too deep or else the mob will die from fall damage. However, if players are looking to farm them for loot, then a chest and hopper can be placed down there and it can be deep enough to kill them.

Players can start by building a small hole for them to fall into and placing trapdoors on top to cover it up. Any redstone device, like a pressure plate or a tripwire hook, can be used to trigger the and open up a hole for the mobs to fall into.

Instead of using trapdoors, crafters can use pressure plates with sticky pistons connected to them. When the mob in question walks over the pressure plate, the hole in the ground will open up, swallowing any mob that has activated it.

Minecraft gamers can begin by placing two blocks a decent distance away from each other, though not too far away. The farther apart they are, the more difficult it will be to connect all the redstone and sticky pistons. With the tripwire hook, the sensor should be placed in the middle of the block. This trap requires the mob to walk further into it before it activates. This is the best way to prevent the mob from potentially turning around as the trap opens up and gets them.
