In Minecraft, gunpowder is a very volatile material. Many new players can’t think of anything else to do with it besides making little amounts of TNT to fool their pals. Expert Minecraft players, on the other hand, are aware of the resource’s true value.
Gunpowder is difficult to come by because it can only be found in chests concealed within unusual Minecraft structures or by killing some of the game’s toughest creatures.
Minecraft Gunpowder Farm
In Minecraft, players will need a building block of their choice, slabs, and a lot of trapdoors to make a gunpowder farm. Two tamed cats are also required to keep this farm running smoothly. Players will also require a fishing rod, raw fish, and the patience to train two cats.

Obtaining a lead or two may also be advantageous, as it saves time when situating the cats on the creeper farm. Carpets are also required to prevent other mobs from spawning, thus players will need to collect wool to make these one-of-a-kind, functional, and decorative blocks.
Step 1 |
Apart from obtaining all of the necessary materials, the first step in constructing a Minecraft gunpowder farm is to lay down the foundation. A 13×16 rectangle on the ground can be used for this. |
Step 2 |
Players must then break a few blocks after constructing this enormous rectangle. The structure’s middle six blocks must be removed from the top and bottom. There should be ten blocks on each side with a six-block gap between them in the end. |

Step 5 |
The next stage is efficiently farming gunpowder in any Minecraft environment is to construct a roof on this slab-only structure. Place trapdoors on every block of the ceiling where one will fit on the inside of the structure. This stage makes the structure dark enough for creepers to spawn, but not tall enough for other monsters to spawn. |
Step 6 |
This step is a little more difficult, but the leads stated previously will help you get through it. Place a cat on the first two trapdoors (the only ones that aren’t flush with the structure’s ceiling) to keep them from moving. |

Other than creepers, no Minecraft mobs will spawn within this construction due to the trapdoors and carpets. This means that if the player lights up the outside of the structure, they can increase the number of creepers spawned because the light prevents other creatures from spawning in the same region.
Players can stand on top of the structure after these requirements are satisfied, and creepers will begin to spawn, die, and fill the chest with gunpowder.
