I'm making a fall trap for mobs and was wondering if they drop exp orbs if they die when they fall? I'm using Skeletons for this fall trap.

nope

For xp, they have to be killed by the player.

Make it so that they skeltons drop 22 block, then they should all be 1 hit with your hands to kill.

ok cool. I figured that was the case but wasn't sure since I don't normally make grinders. Thanks.

To drop exp they actualy only have to be hit by the player, not killed. So you could just shoot the mobs as they fall, thus, gaining exp.

That would waste arrows and bows

Hitting them with your hand is much more efficient.

Plus using Usoka's way of doing it, you'd probably miss a few (shooting a moving target is quite difficult) and that would cause you to lose EXP and items

Jak's way will work just fine. Atleast you won't lose anything if you do it that way

nah

It would still take durability from the bow, and as niels said, you wouldn't be able to shoot fast enough to get them all.

It's not the most efficient, but it's more fun then punching them as it is "harder to hit a moving target"!

What about spiders?

I own 2 spider spawners, and I want to make a grinder. HOw deep does the hole need to be, and what blocks can spiders not climb up?

What u can do, is that u make

What u can do, is that u make the wall about 3 to 4 high and then at the top of the 4 high wall put a lip on the top because the spiders can't climb up and around things , that's my idea , so go try it out :)
