Okay guys, I need help. I got minecraft for the PS3 and I really like this game. I am trying to make a mob farm but its not working. My first model was built on the ground and it worked during the day, but I only got about 5 mobs. My second was built in the air. I built it as high as possible. Huge closed room 2 blocks high. Completely dark. Water canals so they fall into a hole in the center and fall to there death 40 blocks below. I built a path way 40 blocks side ways from the top of the farm so that they could spawn it side and I am no where near the ground. Keep in mind I am at Y256. Nothing has ever spawned inside. Is it because I made it out of wood planks?.... Im getting tired of spending hours building things and not have them work when Iv watched videos and it works perfectly. Any help?
At the moment no.
But I can say that I have an 18 by 18 and 4 high room. with four 7 by 7 squares for the spawning area and water inbetween which flows into the center. "Basic mob farm". Completely dark. Absolutely nothing has spawned. But as soon as I leave my "Mile High Spawner" and go back to my house like 200 blocks below and all the mobs have spawned on the ground by the time I get there.
-What y coordinate is the ground below? You need to be standing more than 128 blocks from the surface so mobs wont spawn there when you are at your mob farm. You can try covering the surface with torches and see if that improves your spawn rates.
-You used planks right? Not half slabs? Mobs won't spawn on half slabs.
This is really weird on the pc there is a way to check something called lc levels which can mess with mob spawning you may have made the mob farm to high in the sky.
i have the same problem,really don't know what to do. Itried both the sky mob crusher and also the one on the ground but they don't seem to be as effective as in pc. I don't know if its the ps3 edition or something else. It is really frustrating because it takes lots of time,effort,and resources
Same too it is at y 140 and I tried to stay at y 240 y 200 y 164 y 116 and y 100 idk what to do anymore I stayed at every one of them like half an hour ... If I go to the y 240 ,stay there 5 mins and come back they drop but only 5-10
