Blackferne Tower Spider Infestation
Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2014 3:20 pm
I'm in the process of building Blackferne Tower on the SW part of town near Whitey's Sandstone complex and the public wheat/carrot/sugarcane field. I've started building basements (mostly to get cobblestone to make the tower rise in height, and I came across a spider spawner. I've got a few torches on it currently, but I know that a spider spawner is also a great opportunity to either make a mob farm for XP or a farm for string. I didn't have time this morning to start the process either way, and wanted to get input before building one type of trap or the other.
So:
Option 1:
Collect the spiders in a shaft with an XP gathering killing hole?
Option 2:
alllow them to spawn to fall into a drowning trap of sorts to gather string and not worry about XP?
Option 3:
Keep the torches on the spawner, spiders are gross.
