You likely know this by now, but spiders will spawn with that configuration (signs are treated as spawnable regions for the sake of spawning). With no way to fall down, you'll gradually fill your mob cap with a spider army that doesn't go anywhere.

I made this exactly the way you said in your tutorial and I have spiders spawning inside. I have triple checked that there are no 2x1 spots for them to spawn on yet they still spawn. Was this rule changed?
Finally someone things outside the box. Im glad someone could prove that there is another way and not just another 'cookie cutter' Mob Trap. Well done. 8-]
thank you this is very do-able and i'm gonna give it a try. what are the purpose of the signs? you said it makes the mobs move rather than stand in one place?
Tested this using stone buttons instead of signs and they work the same. Takes a hell of a lot less time too. Great design though, really pumps out the mobs :D.
I thought of making a monster killing farm with usage of pistons.
There would be a lot of spawning rooms and just one killing machine and there would be pistons blocking off water. Every like 15 secs it would send water to all of the rooms washing all the mobs spawned there down at the same time to one killing machine.. It might be slower... but it would be cool maybe?..
what works even better on this farm then signs is redstone torches. I used them on this exact design and they dony give off enough light level so that mobs cant spawn but still act as a block and there stackable!!!
I'm trying with a 2x2 grid with a cactus fence to kill spiders, but putting so many signs takes for forever, since they cost a lot of mats and can't be stacked. Is there any alternative?
PLEASE help me, I did your latest mob to trap, but I get almost no monsters in it what I did wrong I have designed it as you did in the tutorial but it does not work PLEASE HELP
@23rof I have the same problem so if you get the answer to that can you tell me?
From what ive heard either we are the unlucky ones who have a huge cave system under our traps or our lava makes too much light and lights up the whole room
one question, i watched ur tutorail on how to make it, i am coming to a point where i want to make multi layers, when u made the next layer's did u put a water thingy under the checkered layer's?
Hey man, I just wanna say i Abostuly LOVEEEEE your vids. Wondering if i can Copy your Method. Looks good. I get a measly 500 items a day.... Idk what i'm doing wrong but Pssh.
I'd like to see you build a mathematically perfect mob farm. And by that I mean if you stand in one spot, at 25 - 80 blocks away in all directions you have a place for mobs to spawn.
@UberFair thats good, string is almost useless, the only good thing about string is that you can make wool and fishing poles with it... (yes I know you can make bows, but you only need 1 bow, don't you?)
@razerburst True, but having string is still a good thing. If you have tons of it, from a mob farm, you wouldn't have to go punch sheeps to get wool..
@Dataless822 Okay mate thanks very much. I just thought ide say you have a really nice relax style of commentating, i like it mate. Your projects are always massive, creative and productive, if you want to take a break then ya defo should take one mate. Ignore fools that say you shouldnt haha.
If you get a chance could you check my channel out? I got a big cactus farm i made but turned into a massive pyrimid thingy. Pretty sweet.
Great idea Datadude! I am soo going to do a mobfarm just like this one (working on a huge cactus farm atm to, inspired by yours).
But how about some dimensions? How many blocks from under the chess board to the water flowing and how many blocks above the chess board untill the next layer? And what are the dimensions X x Y on those rooms? Or perhaps you got a link where I can read further on how to make a mob farm like this? :) Thanks again for a great video!
@Deki0724 x2 space under the bord so the mob just fits and 3 hight for the room before starting on next layer...i got 3 how to vids allready on my pc just have not uploaded them just yet i will get around to doing it soon sorry and i will make a 4th how to on this new system aswell
Like a month ago you told me youll make the 11k items ph mob farm further video and still didnt get to it.. im still waiting and hoping for you to make it =)
Btw great system.
Just a little question...
Did you light up caves under you? If not then this is AMAZING getting loot like this.
@pivoterkiller i will i will come on give me a brake :( and i did light up about 5 caves that i could find but there was prob more...when lighting up cave u must do it more then 80 blocks away from the farm
Awesome dude how long did it take you?
