BTW for you guys building traps, Fences on 3 of the 4 blocks work wonders to corral critters into a place where you can wack at them. Also, recently found a Blaze Spawn Trap which uses pistons to suffocate the mobs... but it pulls back before death so you can get the final blow; might work wonders for killing all of those spiders =)

Under my portal in the nether. There is a hatch and a ladder down right by my portal. Go down, follow the torches around then you can see part of the complex. The grinder is under all the torches but it is buried so take the nether brick road into the mountain and you'll see the entrance lit with glowstone.

= BLOCK
[F] = FENCE
[_] = EMPTY

imagine this is an overview:

[_][_]
[F][_][F]
[_][F][_]

Imagine that the is where the mobs enter from, you stand on the Bottom Left or Bottom Right. You can wack them through the gap in the fence. But keep in mind they can wack you too... so stand back a bit.

The above works for spiders because they're 2 wide; but it won't work for other mobs... you can do similar things though:
[_][_][_]
[_]
[_][F][_]

The fence block leaves a gap you can easily wack through... just don't try this on a mob that can shoot things

i've tried a few things out, pistons are unreliable since the spiders can pop out and attack you. first and foremost the collection point must be much closer to the spwners... so here's what i suggest, we drop the floor under the spawners 15 blocks, and also bring the small room between the 3 close and the 1 far spawner down as well, we make it the route point and we use the fence/water to direct the spawns to an iron bar opening to kill from. will probably need 2 spots for that. use iron bar again underneath to let items drop in. before all this though we should install a lighting system.

Spiders can pop out of the pistons?

Haven't had that problem. They do glitch and look like they are coming out but don't really make it out. Take a look at mine under my place. It is smaller but it does work and might help you sort out a working prototype.

I got mine done. Tried a crushing system. Had about 30 in and none of them got damaged. Wonderful SMP glitches.

I may try another design but They're set up nice for the method I was using. I just need a good supply of spider eyes. (I'll just wait for Axis to get his thing built. )

Spiders are the easiest to farm IMO if you just want to kill them.

[S] = SPAWNER
[_] = AIR
= BLOCK
[F] = FENCE

It's not automated, but you do kill a lot of them, and can pop a torch on top of the spawner to stop the spawn and go collect


[_][_][_][_][_]
[_][_][_][_][_]
[_][_][S][_][_]
[_][_][_][_][_]
[_][_][_][_][_][F]
[F][_]

They cannot get out of the corner, but you can walk right through the gap in the fences Doesn't work for the cave spiders though. they're 1x1

Also you don't want to give them much if any room. you should give them 2 blocks of height, just enough for you to walk in (that way they cannot crawl super high into the air) and it also lets you place a torch on top of the spawner to stop their spawn
