You can wait around until zombie villagers spawn, then trap one (they need to survive daylight in a house) and cure it. Do that twice. I have done this successfully a couple of times. It gets very expensive with gold (golden apples) but is doable.
I have been camping this grinder for hours now (it is also near my iron farm), afk, while playing Watch Dogs. In addition, I have gained about 50 levels here killing mobs. How long does it take to get those local difficulty levels up? (I am playing in SMP, normal difficulty) So far 0 drops (not even leather)!
Did they remove skeletons wearing gold/leather/chain armor? I have a mob grinder, and my favorite thing was getting (rare) chain. I have the full set and am missing the pants. But ever since 1.8, I have not seen a single piece of armor drop. They are not wearing anything!
I went back to it, and it seems the skeleton spawner no longer spawns into flowing water. Lucky for me my water is redstone controlled, so that I could turn it on and off, but it is a pain (because that action is manual).
So, can skeletons no longer spawn in flowing water? How come I don't see that anywhere, and why is it the wiki is not updated?
I have exactly the same problem.
But when i portforward the port 25565 and visit canyouseeme.org it says the port isnt open, connection refused
why is that?
Same exact thing!
I came here to make sure I don't start a thread asking for something other people have solved, and found this thread.

(ignore the water elevator. just look at the room with spawner)
The water would push the skeletons into a room, and I would weaken them with pistons similar to this one

and it worked for months (a year ago).
