INFORMATION:
I spent a large amount of time creating this huge mob trap. Soon, I will post screenshots of the final tower just for the people who visit this blog. My next plan is to make three more mob towers close to this one and connecting the collection streams.
TIPS:
1. When making this trap, start the first floor slightly higher than I did so you can extend the collection stream further.
2. Find all caves in the area of the trap and light them up. This will decrease the amount of places other than the mob trap that can spawn mobs, and therefore your spawn rate will be higher.
3. Operate during the day time, or light up the entire surface area around the tower. You don't want your mob trap's spawn rates to be depleted by mobs spawning on the surface.
4. Experiment with the actual part of the tower you use to kill the mobs with. The one shown in the video is pretty inefficient and I actually changed it as soon as I finished the video. Again, you must start the first floor higher in order to provide more room for a better trap.
5. Strip mining, while cosmetically unpleasant, will greatly increase your ability to acquire raw building materials for creating such a large trap.
6. You can change this trap to an animal farm by changing the top layer of cobblestone in each floor to dirt, lighting it up with torches, and spreading grass to the dirt (this can be done by making a dirt path from a patch of grass to each floor of the tower.)
