XP is essential in Minecraft for enchanting, repairing gear, and using powerful tools, but not everyone wants to build a big mob farm. In this guide, you’ll learn the easiest ways to get XP without a mob farm using simple methods that work in almost any survival world.
1. Mine ores for instant XP
Mining is one of the fastest and most natural ways to gain XP at the start of a world. Focus on coal, redstone, lapis, diamond, emerald, and nether quartz, because these ores drop XP every time you break them.
Tips:
- Strip mine at the right Y-levels to find more ores while exploring caves.
- Use a Fortune pickaxe later to multiply ore drops while still getting good XP.
2. Turn furnaces into mini XP farms
Anything you smelt in a furnace, blast furnace, or smoker can give XP when you collect the finished items. Smelting iron, gold, copper, food, and especially mass-produced kelp is an easy passive way to build levels.
Tips:
- Run multiple furnaces in parallel so you can grab a lot of XP at once from each.
- Set up a simple kelp farm that feeds into furnaces, then collect dried kelp blocks manually to receive XP.
3. Farm villagers for XP and emeralds
Trading with villagers gives XP orbs every time you complete a trade, without fighting anything. Fletchers, farmers, librarians, and clerics are especially good for turning easy items into XP and emeralds.
Easy trades:
- Turn wood into sticks and sell them to fletcher villagers for cheap XP.
- Grow wheat, carrots, potatoes, or pumpkins and trade them to farmer villagers.
4. Fish for safe, steady XP
Fishing is a chill method that works even with basic gear and no structures. Each catch gives a bit of XP, and you can also get enchanted books, bows, and other valuable items.
Tips:
- Enchant your fishing rod with Lure and Luck of the Sea to speed up fishing and improve loot.
- Simple AFK fish farms (on some versions) can generate huge XP over time while you do other things.
5. Breed and farm animals
Animal farms double as food factories and XP generators, making them perfect for early game. By breeding cows, sheep, pigs, or chickens and then killing them, you earn XP from both breeding and drops.
Tips:
- Keep animals in pens near your base so you can quickly breed and collect XP whenever you pass by.
- Use wheat for cows and sheep, carrots or potatoes for pigs, and seeds for chickens to keep the cycle going.
