Whats peoples experience with mob traps?
The first I made.... similar to that awesome pic posted here, but as high as you can go, four of them... so all mobs within 100m had to be in my trap.... nothing spawned
The second I made.... a grid of water traps on teh floor, all fed into each other, 24 tunnels of double width rivers... covered an area 30 x 40... I got enough mobs to fall in... but NO pressies (used the waist high lava trap)
This was all multiplayer... so I presumed that was the flaw
I then built a cave at the bottom of the 3d map... on the floor so to speak. Mined all around to make sure they weren't spawning in any other areas. The room was 4 high... 30 wide, 40 long... all rivered to the central lava trap and no light at all..... nothing... waited 20 mins not a single spawn
My final attempts was similar to #2.... medium sized outdoors thing, 40 x 40 or something, double width, all rivered... I got SOME mobs falling in, transported to the bottom... hit the lava... I think for about 30-40 mobs I got two arrows and a dynamite thingy... so in short NOTHING
I don't get it.... am I doing something wrong? either nothing spawns... or when it does I get no pressies for 4 hours of digging planning and designing
