Farming

Small farm — A small carrot and potato farm.

Farming refers to the systematic production of renewable resources. It is usually used to get blocks, food, experience and other things. Specific types of farming are listed below.

Mob farming

Animal farming: Using wheat, seeds, and carrots to breed animals, to be slaughtered for their products or used in egg, milk, or wool farming.
Hostile mob farming: Creating spawn rooms for hostile mobs to be killed for their drops.
Villager farming: Farming villagers requires the player to have enough beds and job site blocks for each villager for them to breed.
Guardian farming: Farming guardians by funneling them to a concentrated area for materials and/or experience.
Blaze farming: Farming blaze rods from blazes.
Pillager farming: Farming crossbows, emeralds, iron tools‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]} and ominous banners from pillagers.
Drowned farming: Farming tridents, nautilus shells and gold ingots from drowned.
Slime farming: Farming slimeballs from slimes.

Experience farming

The reason to farm experience is to easily enchant items, or repair tools and armor. Many common experience farms require a difficulty above Peaceful, as they require mobs to spawn. Other uncommon farms use other ways to gain experience, such as fishing or furnaces.

Spawner Farming: Waiting at an active monster spawner for monsters to spawn. This includes mobs that do not spawn naturally without the use of spawners, such as cave spiders.

These can be automated with a water pathway transferring the mobs to where the player is standing.
