Minecraft players often face a dilemma. Getting attacked by a skeleton, zombie, creeper or spider is a deeply unpleasant experience but it’s also often the easiest or only way to get hold of key crafting materials like gunpowder, bone, string, and rotten flesh. What can I say? No pain, no gain.
But there’s another approach that crafty players take – building a mob farm. Mob farms are structures that are intentionally unlit to allow dangerous monsters to spawn, but monsters are then funneled into a place where they can be killed quickly and safely.
In the past, it would sometimes be difficult to get a mob farm working. The need for total darkness inside made it impossible to take a peek inside to see what’s wrong. But in the most recent Minecraft update, we added a block that makes things a little easier. It’s called tinted glass, and it’s our block of the week.
