Minecraft Elegance: Instant Gold XP Farm, 360 gold blocks/hour (Java 1.13*-1.20)
IMPORTANT: At 6:00, do not go through the nether portal in the spawning area. It should remain unlinked with the overworld so that the zombie piglins can't teleport anywhere yet. At 9:29, build the portal at Y=191 or higher. Also, use a lava bucket to destroy swords in the killing chamber to prevent lag.
* The farm has been reported to work in 1.13-1.15, but I have not tested it below 1.16.
This incredibly simple and powerful gold XP farm can be made easily in early game, taking less than 25 minutes to build (if you know what you're doing), using exceptionally few materials. It gives enough experience to go from level 0 to level 30 in about a minute, and about 360 gold blocks per hour.
This farm produces 50,000 items/hr (24,000 nuggets/hr + 650 ingots/hr = 360 blocks/hr)
For comparison, gnembon's gold XP farm produces 90,000 items/hr, but requires 36 times more materials to build.

PAPER AND SPIGOT servers often disable entities in playerless dimensions, which results in mobs cramming to death and teleporting their drops to the kill chamber. You can work around this issue by having a friend AFK within 128 blocks of the overworld bridge, or you can convert the overworld bridge into a kill chamber.
Comments and corrections:
0:35 Any slab will work; it does not need to be a smooth stone slab.
0:59 I use the term "AFK spot" to describe the player station, but it is not technically for being "away from keyboard". This isn't intended as an AFK farm, as it would require a fairly complicated sorting system to manage all the drops.
1:47 If mob griefing is turned off, zombie piglins will no longer try to trample the turtle egg, so the farm will not work.
2:10 New mobs don't spawn when the mob cap is reached, but it doesn't force existing mobs to despawn, so this bridge can fill up with 100 or so zombie piglins without issue.
3:08 If you start have lag issues before the items can despawn, you can destroy them in the chamber by using a bucket of lava.
4:04 The blue vertical lines mark the corners of chunks, so I use them to guide digging the perimeter of the room. It's OK if you build out the floor over a ravine if you need to.
4:08 I've never found lava above Y=117 in the nether wastes biome, which is the altitude of the bottom spawning floor.
6:00 Don't go through the nether portal in the spawning area. It should remain unlinked with the overworld so that the zombie piglins can't teleport anywhere yet. If the spawning area portal is linked with an overworld portal at this point, you may find potentially hundreds of zombie piglins after you enter the portal at 9:14 in the tutorial. To fix this issue, use the entrance/exit portal to go to the overworld and then return to the gold farm before using the portal at 9:14. This forces any zombie piglins to despawn from the overworld.
9:14 Build the portal at Y=191 or higher, not just at "about Y 190". If you've already built the portal at Y=190 or lower, you can fix the issue by raising your entrance/exit portal by 5 blocks.
10:54 All gold farms basically require you to craft gold nuggets into ingots and blocks. So if you don't do it during the farming process, you'll just have to do it later. Zombie piglins still accumulate in the killing chamber while you craft, so stopping to craft does not impact the farm's productivity if you do it fast enough.
11:51 To return to the spawning area, repair the nether portal that you destroyed near the overworld bridge. Be sure to destroy the portal again when you leave, otherwise the farm will not work.
