Has anyone found/obtained/broken down/lava, water trapped a Mob Spawner? I have only seen one by pure accident, but then was killed by the excess of mobs.
I found a mob spawner awhile ago, i killed the that was guarding it, i was down to two health, i start trying to destroy the mob spawner, then another appears, shoots me with an arrow then kills me.
If you get cartograph (open source mapping program on the wiki) you can generate a top down map and then another map specifically singling out mossy cobble stone. If you lay one on top of the other you have a top down map representing where each dungeon is. Hell, if you want to you can even get a topographical map to get a general idea how deep each one is. I did this to find mine but haven't gotten around to searching for them.

Thats awesome. I gotta do that. Thanks for the tip!
Edit: Whoops, yes there is. I didn't know anyone else had that avatar.
Its cool :smile.gif:
And I managed to get 2 spawners before Notch disabled picking them up, and the only trapping I have done is digging pitholes around the base of a spawn room from below, ive tried creating a water trap in a cave before but when I finally got a zombie to come to it, it didnt work :/

Mine is different anyway because its smaller :biggrin.gif:
I want to trap one. Just to see those the mobs die. A lot hahaha
Mob Spawners are found in Dungons. They spawn . And they result in the deaths of :Notch:'s you find them in areas underground usally of . they hold atleast 1 Some people destroy them with pickaxes. Because you can make shooting gallerys and they are a source of unlimited mob resources (depending on the enemy). Notch approves this message.

Cool story bro. Please make a thread somebody cares about next time.
I found a dungeon with a skeleton spawner, and made this whirlpool thing. However, it caused the mob spawner to stop spawning monsters... not entirely sure why.

You have light surrounding it, mobs don't spawn in light.
(The peaceful ones do, like sheeps, pigs, cows.)
Alright, I'll try getting rid of the torches and see if it works. If not, then maybe the monsters that spawned while I was in the middle of building it never actually died... there's probably a whole bunch of skeletons running around in the cave underneath the dungeon.
I think it's because it doesn't want to spawn them over water. You also might have a clock right where it wants to spawn them. Usually they spawn off the to side of the spawner, rather than right on top of it. I found that the easiest way to set a trap right by a spawner is to temporarily block it off, and then build a simple water trap like I showed above. Unfortunately with skeletons you have to make an opening to grab their attention and risk getting shot, since they'll pretty much ignore you if you just stand behind glass.
I've been using the cartograph trick for a couple hours trying to find a creeper spawn, but it's always spiders, zombies, or skeletons. Can anyone confirm that creeper spawns actually exist? I think I've tried 13 dungeons now.
no creeper spawners cept with the use of mine edit,
in my world 1 i found 2 dungeons right next to each other, im trying to make it so the zombie's fall to adminite and die but they just wont die!

he hates it enough that you trapped him, now you made it so that the space will start overcrowding.
Your a sick, sick person

Yes it does apply to mod spawners.
