Hello,
I am trying to come up with a wither skeleton grinder/farm in the nether. I play on a server with bukkit, but it is close to vanilla. I have a skeleton spawner in the nether. This makes wither skeletons and plain skeletons once in a while. Well... I cant figure any good way to collect the skeles, and give them damage to allow easy kills.
One last note, the server uses towny and will not activate pressure plates when mobs step on them, so moving them by pistons either has to be a manual job or on a timer circuit.
All I see online are ones using mods, or people basically terraforming the nether into large flat zones for naturally spawing mobs. These don't do me any good as I have a spawner. Also, I tried sweeping the skeles away with lava, but they do not flow with it, simply jump upwards in place.

It might as well be pistons set up on a timer or manually, seeing how you have to be close to the spawner for it to work anyways.

Maybe some obsidian around the spawner with a hole in it to kill them, then once you have some drops, break another obsidian, get drops, put obsidian back. Rinse and repeat.
Well I got this figured out. For some reason I was using stone pressure plates. Wooden ones will trigger, even with towny.
So, basically you have a wooden pressure plate hooked to a repeater. The repeater goes into a block, on top of this is a sticky piston (with block on it) which pushes mobs downward as they step on the pressure plate. Kind of convoluted, but it works pretty well once set up.
Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Drop them the correct amount so that when they land they are a 1 hit kill, even with fists. For normal skeletons the height would need to be about 23 blocks (I THINK), but I'm not sure for wither skeles.
