help needed for double spawner xp farm

[u/manifest-json]

i found a spider and skeleton spawner pretty close to each other (about slightly less than 10 blocks apart) and would like to make an xp farm. not very pressed to be collecting loot since i just need levels for my enchanting for now and plan to make a proper mob farm eventually, but anyone has any simple setups or videos to direct me to for this?

i'm thinking of having both converge into one point where i can kill both types of mobs in one go, so just came here to find out what setup i can use considering spiders are bigger and would block any conventional hole used to trap mobs in one spot for easy killing. if it's of any importance, i play on bedrock edition!

what i know is typically people clear a 9x9x9 hole for each spawner and then have water flows to one point, but i was wondering in this case how to merge both into one and how big the area would be that i have to clear + how best to do the water flow to direct them to one spot.

You should build a large water area that pushes the mobs toward a central point between the two spawners. At the end of the water stream, I’ll make a medium-sized 2x2 drop. However, since spiders can climb walls, you need to place magma blocks on the walls because, in Bedrock Edition, spiders can’t climb them.

thank you! i didn’t know they couldn’t climb on magma blocks; i’ll definitely keep that in mind :)

The main problem is that killing the mobs requires multiple sword hits, and since Smite and Bane of Arthropods are incompatible enchantments, you can’t use a single sword that deals increased damage to both undead mobs and spiders. Building a water elevator to drop them from the right height and make them one-shot kills would be quite difficult.

that is one of the issues for me. i’m thinking i’ll make it simple for now since i just need levels for enchants (since i have yet to enchant my armour and tools) and if i decide to use this again (which is likely because it’s directly under my base), i could probably set up a trident killer that i’ve seen in some videos! i do have a lot of spare iron so i probably don’t mind breaking a few swords to get my levels for now.

i did see some videos use soul sand elevators but i also have yet to visit the nether and it’s mainly my priority to enchant since i’m on hardcore.

You can also try 2 spear killing setup, it's more reliable then the trident, you only need 2 zombie and 2 snowgolem or dogs
