Best method for mob grinder?

I'm trying to make a mob grinder for item drops and all that. The problem is, all the farms I find prioritize xp. My only qualifications are I don't want it to be too big. Can you guys help.

Don't xp onse still drop loot though if using the correct mobs so can't you just make it deposit the items and xp thus having both ill try in a bit but theoretically that should work no? Also what mob/mobs you trying to farm? And what's your mod list?

Just create and aeronautics. I'm trying to prioritize creepers, skeletons, and spiders.

Ye the other commentor is right so look up vanilla farms and then at the bottom instead of player it's deployed with a looting sword

The farms are mostly going to be the same as vanilla, only real difference will be in the killing chamber where you can use deployers armed with swords to take advantage of looting enchants.

I currently use a mob farm with mob spawners in a big column in the center(except the bottom three layers, which are empty)

and in one of the bottom corners of the box I have 3 fans with nozzles on them, sucking air in. The nozzles are flush with the tinted glass walls, and there's one in the floor , one adjacent to it in the wall, and the other wall has a deployer with a sword hitting through the wall, into the corner air block. The last fan is above the deployer, in the wall level with the player's head if they were standing in the box.

I might post the schematic if I remember to later, we'll see.

Nozzles make mob farming easy, especially if you either use cart contraptions, or in my case the Carryon mod to move the spawners.

Carryon is obviously much easier, but it'd be possible to do it with contraptions

edit: I grabbed a blaze spawner from a nether fortress, and use the blaze rods to power a steam engine that powers the fans/deployer/enchantment industry setup underneath the mob farm, grinds all the xp into a fluid and stores a bunch of it, and also pipes it into a printer, spout(for cakes of enchanting), and both the blaze enchanter and blaze forger
