Hello! I would like some help. I recently started a survival world in Java Edition, and was I wondering about some good mob farm designs, do you guys have any suggestions? I am trying to decide between a crusher, drop kill, or cactus trap.

Mob Farms run the heavy risk of causing lots of lag on servers, especially if its a modded server. However, I have found some loopholes to make mob farms both interesting and not so harsh on the server.

Some fun ways to do it, would be like to design a chicken coop with hoppers so it becomes an auto egg and feather collector, while remaining relatively small so the lag would only affect 1 chunk in your specific area.

From experience and what other players have said, just try to avoid making farms that include running water/lava because that is the most notorious for creating lag.

You could make a kitchen with a drop that pigs and cows fall into via pressure plate activation, and are killed and then cooked, dropping into a hopper. I've seen some pretty interesting examples on YouTube. You've got plenty of options to work with.

IF! You have plugins... That is.
LWC has a configurable range to auto pick up loot within X radius of that chest.
1 LWC chest is way less laggy than 25 hoppers covering the same 5x5 area.
/lwc flag magnet on + hit the chest to enable that.

Grinders are the easiest farms to build, crushers need redstone and sometimes do not work

OMG! My friend! You need custom spawners I'm sure. I <3 SPAWNERS.

Things to consider about mob grinders.
Did you set max entities per chunk too high? DOH!
Do the mobs drop loads stuff that the players have to collect or leave lots of loot entities? DOH!
When a player is at one grinder do they also aggro nearby grinders? DOH!
Do the mobs in the grinder bash around or move allot on water flows before they get to the kill point? DOH!
/GAMERULE maxentitystacking is on default? DOH! SET TO 0

Get some kind of command runner addon. I use MagicSpells (Github ComputerGeek2) for unlimited size commands.

While the above spawners are considerably complex you can make easier ones here.
Make sure you use the right MC version spawner generator for your server. https://www.digminecraft.com/generators/mob_spawner_1_16.php

lol XD sorry. There is alot of facepalm generators and fun times to consider with spawners.
I hope this inspired yoooo <3
/warp mypets (about 30 different silkspawner spawners for buy/sell)

As for drop kill probably the best method, you can also just make spawners that put out
mobs that die with one punch...
