also the soul sand just makes it faster

same thing with signs iirc

They don't?

Probably a version peculiarity then

@Xaverius Don't build shit like that

You need to push the mobs further away from the spawner

So that the spawner will keep spawning mobs

Ideally you just spawn the mobs in mid air and instantly drop them to their deaths, then use hoppers to collect the resources

But if you want XP, then check how far away mobs need to be on the wiki, then push them away from the spawner

There's only X amount of mobs that can be in one chunk

they changed it so that a spawner will only spawn 5-6 mobs at a time

or atleast that's how it works on the server

It's always been like that

It might just be the clear lag pluggin

There's a radius around the spawner and in the chunk that the game will check, before spawning the mobs

I don't have enough experience but on the server you can't get more than 5-6 mobs at a time

That's because you need to move the mobs further away

Even if you take them out of the chunk

There's two types of check

There's the chunk check, to see if there's too many mobs in that chunk

*That's for all mob spawning*

And there's the spawner check, which will check a radius around the spawner, I think it's like 15 blocks or so

And if there's 5-6 mobs FROM that spawner within that radius, then it won't spawn

Hence you need to push them the 15 (Or whatever the value was) blocks away, INTO another chunk.

When I was playing on faction servers, we just wanted the resources tbh

@Weez I usually just dig like 7x7x7 around the spawner, then flow them with sign-stopped water down a 22 block high chute. So I afk up next to the spawn room for a bit, then ladder down and two-hit them

Last time I played, you needed a 10x10x5 square around the spawner

https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Spawner

"A spawner activates when a player comes within a spherical radius of 16 blocks from the center point of the block; i.e. 15.5 blocks from the block itself. While the block is active, it spawns mobs within an 8×3×8 block volume (8 wide, 8 long, and 3 high) centered on the center of the block, effectively meaning mobs can spawn in a 9×9 horizontal area, or 3.5 blocks vertically from the spawner."

Looks like I oversized mine

Ah well, that was a rough estimate

I just don't see the point of elevator spawns, except you can stay on the ground level

Look at these niggers stealing my eggs

What do you mean you don't see the point of elevator spawns?

Too much build time when you can just dig a hole and it works the same

I suppose lmao

Plus what you said, the elevator ones have rooms pretty close together

I'm guessing you don't have a natural spawner?

Like a massive dark-room one

That doesn't use the spawner blocks
