Is it possible for a zombie pigman to spawn on a cobblestone block with a rail or poweredrail in the block?
I have a little nether project and it would be great when I take my rail system that I do not collide with any mobs on the ride.

Thanks in advance

No, that is not possible, as the rail acts as another block.

I think.

They can't spawn on rails if there is only 1 block space abowe rails - I think.

Thanks guys, this news is a bit of a buzzkill. Oh well :smile.gif:

I made a nether track with powered rail and they spawned on it. Between them spawning on the tracks and blocking me and ghasts blowing up my tracks it got pretty annoying.

It seems that if you line the rail tunnel with vines, they can not spawn, though they and more importantly you can still walk through them.

Signs probably work too, but that would be VERY expensive in wood. (average 2 wood planks per sign)

Perhaps torches works too. Anyone like to do some experiments?
