Minecraft – the most efficient way to increase the Herbalism level in MCMMO

minecraft-java-editionminecraft-mods

In the server I play, there is a jobs plugin in which you can get money. One of the included ways is from getting crops. The server also has the MCMMO plugin, and I want to get my herbalism skill level up so that I can get more money, and there are rewards for increasing your total MCMMO level on the server.

My level is currently at around 325, and one of the admins on the server had a WorldEdit-ed farm that he let me use. It is massive, and I have every single crop.

Up until now I have mainly been sprinting along rows of sugar cane that are 100 blocks long, but in between the growing periods I am having trouble getting experience. What is the most time-efficient way for me to increase my herbalism level?

You've got the right idea with sugar cane. Each block broken is 30 exp, for a total of 60 if you break the middle after the top has grown. There's very little that comes close- cactus provides the same xp but is more difficult to harvest and everything else needs replanting. A few plants (flowers, mushrooms, etc.) provide more but can't really be farmed.

If you're spending too long waiting for the sugar cane to regrow, plant some more- you have a ridiculous amount of it now.

Minecraft – Most efficient way to farm Slimes

Any mob trap within 16 blocks of the bottom of the map will catch slimes as well, but you have to be careful to not hurt the slimes too much to get them to split the most. Punching and drowning are the safest ways to ensure that they'll split into more slimes. Also, you want a large room so that bigger slimes will spawn which can then have more splits.

The most important thing besides the depth is that it's in a chunk suitable for slimes. Slimes can only spawn in 10% of the chunks, picked randomly depending on the seed. You can calculate which chunks are suitable with this tool by trunkz though: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/397835-find-slime-spawning-chunks/

They only spawn a tenth as often as other mobs, but they'll also spawn in any light level, so if you're digging for diamonds at bedrock level, you'll usually find quite a few naturally.

I made a pretty quick and dirty XP farm as such:

Find a zombie spawner, punch out all the blocks around it, leave 3ish blocks of space all around it, making a big dark room around the spawner.

Put water source(s) at one end of the room, pulling every zombie that drops to the other side of the room. Make a 1-wide hallway for the water to flow into. Where the water stream ends, put in a 1x1 vertical shaft for the zombie to drop down (place this RIGHT AFTER the water, don't let water flow down the hole).

Make the bottom of the "tube" out of glass so you can see the zombies inside the "kill zone". Leave a single block at the bottom so that you can swing your sword at the zombie's feet.

I made my vertical shaft high enough to take away ALMOST all the zombie's health. If the fall kills them, no XP bubbles. I got mine to the perfect height that I can 1-shot all the zombies with a stone sword (you wouldn't believe how fast this goes through swords).

Hope my description isn't gibberish, I'll get some screenshots later if this isn't clear. =)
