Super simple 5 minute animal farm build

[gunmaster222]

I know this has probably been made before but in case you guys can't figure out how to make an animal farm, here you go.
You only need a few normal blocks, and a few slabs, 2 water buckets, and the spawner of choice.
This is the outside, and it takes about 5 minutes to build.

First build 2 high walls, it could honestly be any size. Then add water blocks to the back corners.

Then all you have to do is create a bottom half slab roof and a killing hole. The cows will all spawn inside the farm. Super simple. If you want to make it auto, you can put this higher and make them die from fall damage. And if you have lava buckets, you can put a sign in the chute, put a lava bucket on the sign so the lava will float, and the cows will flow down and die.

Well done. Good job. Simple and elegant.

May I suggest a fairly simple and effective upgrade? Build a two wide two high and eight long trench up high off the ground. Use water just like you did to push the mobs out one end of the trench. The cows in this case will fall and splat on the ground. All you have to do is stop by occasionally to pick up the leather and raw beef. Later when you get iron you can upgrade to add hoppers and automate the collecting.

Automated collectors like this will be key for advancing in SkyBlock in my opinion. I have videos of several different types of mob and xp farms if you are interested.

Yeah I know how to make it auto, but I didn't feel like it was necessary for beginners. This is just a super simple build for people that just got the cow spawner and didnt want to keep hitting the cows off the edge when killing them. Obviously you can make them flow to a chute, but as a beginner effectiveness is more important than efficiency. Efficiency will come later.
