About this converter
Java Edition prints exact XP for every mob, so farms can be ranked by math. Zombies, skeletons, spiders, creepers, endermen, witches and ghasts all drop 5 XP, the standard most farms target. Endermites at 3 sit below the standard, while blazes, guardians and evokers at 10 double it. Ravagers at 20, the Wither at 50 and the Ender Dragon at 12,000 top the table, with respawned dragons at 500. Every figure here is the Java Edition Experience page from the Minecraft Wiki.
How to use it
Pick two mobs and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Ender Dragon against zombies. The unit box totals the value in XP or thousands of XP.
Gear adds 1 to 3 XP per equipped piece on some mobs, noted here, so rows use base drops. Slimes split by size at 4, 2 and 1 and stay out of single rows with the split noted. Iron golems, villagers and baby animals drop zero and stay out. The dragon rows first kill 12,000 with respawn 500 in the note. Piglin brutes match ravagers at 20 XP. Baby zombies pay 12 XP and stay out of the adult rows.
FAQ
How much XP does the Ender Dragon drop?
12,000 XP on first kill, enough for level 0 to 68. Respawns drop 500. Zombies at 5 need 2,400 kills to match it.
How much XP do blazes and guardians drop?
10 XP each, double the 5 XP standard. That is why both anchor classic XP farms.
How much XP does a zombie drop?
5 XP base, the standard most hostile mobs share. Gear they spawn with adds 1 to 3 more.
They split by size at 4, 2 and 1 XP, so no single row fits. Iron golems and villagers drop zero and stay out too.
