DonutSMP Gold Farm: Gold and XP From Piglins

A gold farm gives you gold to sell or barter and loads of XP for mending. Here is how it works and how to build one on DonutSMP.

How a gold farm works

Zombified piglins spawn on platforms in the nether, get lured to a kill spot with a turtle egg and drop gold nuggets, ingots and XP.

Building it

  1. Build in a nether biome with many piglin spawns, often above the nether roof.
  2. Download a gold farm schematic and load it with Litematica.
  3. Build the spawning platforms and the kill chamber.
  4. Add hoppers to collect gold automatically.

What to do with the gold

  • Sell it for money.
  • Barter with piglins for ender pearls and more.
  • Use the XP to repair gear.
