I am going to start farming wither skelies so I can get the wither to spawn and get beacons made. However I have no actual farm for them and don't really want to make a perimeter of 128 blocks each side of teh farm to prevent spawns, the time investment would be insane.
So what I'm thinking of doing is finding the most clustered nether fort + intersections (with no nether brick roofs) and just making 3 solid floors at each one for max spawn space over a lava lake.
Have others tried this without slabbing/destroying millions of blocks? What have your results been like?
I'm pretty sure you got to reduce spawn all around your pads or the chances are low. You may also have to look a long time (unless someone has a seed for you) to find a fortress with the perfect configuration for you.
I already have a 2 + path way in a lava lake , I'm hunting for a 3 cross intersection right next to eachother.
The one I have is 2 right next to eachother and a third about 20-30 blocks away in the same direction and another one about 20 blocks off in another direction. I'm considering doing large spawning pads 3 levels each and see, but I agree, the spawn rates will be low, but realistically I'll be farming them to pass time more than anything else (may also do a large well lit netherwart farm...just because), least after I have the 3 beacons I need right now.

Any feedback would be great.
