There is a specific, almost sacred version of Minecraft that floats in the collective memory of its aging player base: release 1.7.10.

Pro Tip: In 1.7.10, hold a Looting III sword. Because the mobs drop 23 blocks, you won't kill them instantly; you "One-Hit" them. This yields maximum armor/weapon XP.

This is the most reliable early-to-mid-game option because it provides a steady, predictable stream of mobs. Preparation: Clear a 9x9x5 room around a dungeon spawner.
