Cave Spider EXP Grinder

(1/3) > >>

Midgetized:
This grinder uses 3 spawners but only can get 2 to work at a time, planning on altering it a little to try an get all 3 to pop em out at a time. But so far the spiders just PILE UP.



I have to apologize because I got curious just how much spiders there were after I waited 5minutes and used a x-ray texture pack that I removed after this photo. It removes the visibility of stone/cobble/dirt ect.



They can't squeeze through those fence posts and I'm just out of reach of their attacks but can still slap them. Basically I grind them until it's cleared up, break the wool block, go down and collect the loot then rebuild my pedestal.

Background Info:
I found a mineshaft when digging around after I moved from my old place. I'm at the world's border. And in the mineshaft I found a spider spawner near bedrock and built a basic spawner cage around it which sucked because bedrock blocked me from other plans. Then explored the shafts further and found 2 more on another floor almost near another.

I tried connecting them via tunnels but the spiders just climbed the walls instead of being pushed with water into the central room.
Made lips that limited wall cilmbing but they just decided to ignore them and just hug the walls instead.
Then got mad and just made a massive room that encompassed them all with water pushing them into the middle.
Then I'm trying to get all 3 spawners to work together instead of the two at a time.

Jericho:
Sweet! ;) Are you close enough to the third spider spawner for it to spawn, thats all I can think of to get it to work atm. Now, if its design, possibly use pistons to get them closer?

illiwill:
You shouldn't use an x-ray texture pack. At least you removed it, but you really shouldn't use it.

NateN:
I can use?  ::)

Midgetized:
oreo I used it for 2 seconds for that screen shot and to replace anything in that room with stuff like glass would be deadly as you can see.

NateN, sure just go to my home and look out in the water, you'll see a random stone hut that you can climb into

But to use the grinder isn't slap and collect.

Bring a bow with a few arrows to use in the view slot on the way down the ladder b/c spiders like to rest on the spawner which decreases spawn rates.

Basically your going to be on a raised platform that prevents the spiders from hitting you. But you won't be able to get exp or item drops when your killings them. So to get it you hug the fence posts and walk back on to the raised platform. To essentially to clear it all out break the wool blocks and kill the rest and collect. Then rebuild the pedestal.

To get the best out of it, sit on the platform and wait 5minutes, go eat some snacks and come back and there will be about 20+ spiders all humping there way at you. Don't wait like 30minutes or else there will be 100s that will make you lag badly. Did that and had to set video all the way down to lowest setting: no particles, tiny view range, powersaver performance, no noise/music, and fast setting with no shading.

I would make redstone mechanisms that make it easier but bedrock prevents me from doing it.
