Tutorial:Drowned farming

Drowned farming is a way to harvest experience orbs and loot dropped by both zombie and drowned mobs. In addition to explaining general mechanics of drowned farming, this tutorial describes two basic drowned farms that are easy to construct in survival mode, without needing a villager as bait.

In all editions, the simple flooded-monster room farm described first produces rotten flesh, iron, gold and chainmail armor, and weapons dropped by zombies, as well as experience orbs and copper ingots dropped by drowned, but not nautilus shells or tridents. In Bedrock Edition this farm also produces nautilus shells, but not tridents.

The aerial farm (described second) produces only drowned drops including tridents, but not zombie drops. While the aerial farm doesn't require exotic materials, it does require large amounts of materials and is more time-consuming to build.
