Zombie farms are a must if you want to stock up on emeralds from trading rotten flesh. My design uses a spawner with water channels leading to a drop shaft. At the bottom, I place a hopper system to collect drops automatically. It’s not the fanciest setup, but it works like a charm. Sometimes I just sit there, listening to zombie groans while my inventory fills up—weirdly satisfying.
Honestly, zombie farms are way easier than people think. Dig around until you find a spawner, build a simple water flow system to guide zombies into a hole, and let gravity do the work. I once built one right under my base so I could grind XP while cooking dinner. Pro tip: name-tag one zombie so it doesn’t despawn, and you’ll always have a test subject for tweaking your design.
Building a zombie farm in 'Minecraft' is one of those projects that feels super rewarding once it’s up and running. I’ve messed around with a few designs, and the simplest one involves finding a zombie spawner underground or creating a dark room where zombies can spawn naturally. You’ll want to funnel them using water channels or trapdoors into a killing chamber. I prefer using fall damage to weaken them—just drop them 23 blocks, and they’ll be left with half a heart. Then, you can finish them off manually or with a trident killer for automatic loot.
For efficiency, make sure to light up nearby caves to prevent other mobs from spawning and stealing your zombie spawns. Adding a sorting system for rotten flesh and other drops can be a fun extra step if you’re into redstone. The first time I saw a pile of zombie loot just accumulating without me lifting a finger, it felt like magic.
I love experimenting with zombie farm designs—each one feels like a mini engineering project. My favorite is a sky-based dark room where zombies spawn and get pushed into a water stream leading to a 23-block fall. The drop leaves them weak enough to kill in one hit, which is perfect for XP grinding. If you’re playing with friends, add a lever to toggle between killing and AFK modes. It’s hilarious watching zombies pile up when someone forgets to turn it off.
Zombie farms are my go-to for early-game XP and rotten flesh (great for trading with clerics!). The key is finding a spawner—usually in dungeons—or building a dark room high in the sky or deep underground. I like the spawner method because it’s faster. Just surround the spawner with water to push zombies into a drop chute. If you’re feeling fancy, add a trident killer or magma blocks at the bottom for hands-free farming. Don’t forget to use a looting sword for better drops!

Raymond had to find a way to save his zombie girlfriend before the the wipe out
In October 2025, an explosion occurs at a remote lab. An unidentified substance is leaked, and the virus makes people go insane. Anyone who is bitten by these rabid creatures becomes one of them.
It's like the zombies people see in movies and video games.
On the first day of the explosion, my five-year-old, Joyce Fairfield, is still at kindergarten. I risk my life to hurry there, but I can't even find her corpse when I arrive. I can only look at the surveillance footage to see her face, which is ashen with fear. I also see her mouth, "Mommy!"
15 days after the explosion, I finally traverse the city and get to my mother's home. However, all that welcomes me is a destroyed apartment and blood everywhere.
20 days after the explosion, my husband, Emmett Fairfield, calls me one last time from his office, which zombies have surrounded. He tells me not to leave the house.
Less than a month after the apocalypse arrives, I lose all my family. I'm alone as I struggle to survive in this dead world.
The spread of the virus triggers chaos in mankind. I exchange all my supplies to save a neighboring couple from bandits, leading them to safety in a secure zone where they can live stable lives. However, my kindness is not repaid.
Three years after the explosion, the secure zone is under siege by a wave of zombies. As we retreat, my neighbors shove me underneath a car so I'll distract the zombies. Then, they make a run for it and get away.
Trusted neighbors betray me. As the zombies eat away at me, I can feel death looming. All I want is to see my family again.
Now, I've been reborn. I have six hours before the zombie apocalypse breaks out.

After our father died, my sister and I inherited a fortune, a luxury villa, and a tiny convenience store.
She took the money and the mansion without hesitation, leaving me with the old shop everyone looked down on.
One month later, the apocalypse began.
A zombie outbreak swept through the world overnight. The rich became trapped in their homes with no food, no power, and no way out.
My sister, once proud of her mansion and millions, ended up starving behind locked gates.
Meanwhile, I survived comfortably inside the convenience store I had rebuilt into a fortress, living off endless supplies of snacks, canned food, and soda.
When my sister collapsed on the streets begging for help, I risked my life to save her.
But greed was stronger than gratitude.
After eating my food and recovering her strength, she waited until I fell asleep… then threw me outside to be torn apart by zombies.
The moment I died, I opened my eyes again.
I had returned to the day we divided the inheritance.
This time, my sister smugly grabbed the convenience store first, convinced she had stolen the better deal.
What she didn’t know was that I had been reborn too.
And this time, I came back with a Apocalypse Survival System.
While she fought over scraps, the villa she abandoned would become the safest shelter left in the world.
The city was overrun by zombies. My girlfriend, Callie Bernson, the team leader, had taken my best friend, Dan Harrington, and fled in our only armored vehicle, leaving me behind in the shelter to die.
Outside, the scratching of claws against metal echoed through the corridors. The defensive barricades were already starting to fail. My heart sank into despair. I raised my gun to my temple, ready to end it quickly, when a stream of floating text suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
[It’s hilarious. That cheating couple thinks they’re heading to Paradise, but that place has fallen. It’s packed with high-level zombies now.]
[Don’t die, PC! The person in a coma in the shelter—the one your so-called best friend called dead weight and abandoned—is actually the only S-class ability user. Once she wakes up, she’ll wipe the floor with everything!]
[Just you wait. When your buddy crawls back here in disgrace and finds the big boss awake, he will go to step in and steal the credit for saving her.]
[Hurry up and die already, cannon fodder. I can’t wait for the tragic apocalypse romance between the best friend and the big boss.]
I lowered the gun and sprinted toward the quarantine room. Inside, a woman lay on the bed, sleeping peacefully. I strode over and slapped her hard across the face.
“Honey!” I shouted. “Time to get to work!”
