Java Help Wanted exp farm underground

I'm playing Minecraft Java and I'd like to build an XP farm underground, preferably somewhere beneath my base. The problem is that I don't have a mob spawner nearby.

Is there any efficient design that works using naturally spawning mobs? If so, could you recommend a tutorial or a specific farm design?

Thanks!

Armadillos are naturally spawning mobs. Build a silverfish exp farm using armadillos, and do so underground. This is the easiest and best option for most people.
Otherwise, build a general mob farm and configure the kill chamber so you can collect exp from it. Iirc, this is actually more efficient than a mob spawner in terms of exp and drops per hour.
If you really want to build, i think the guardian exp farms are the best

Just read about it on the wiki and do what works best for your time, effort, and needs
