Hello every one im pretty new to minecraft still i been playing for 2 months max so sorry if this is the in the wrong thread or something. Question is
I have a double mob spawner i made before the 1.7 update but i think since then the smaller zombies cant climb up the water is this new? Also since they cant go up there becomes a mob traffic jam and i have to go inside and kill the smaller zombie. Is there any way around it?
Please clarify what kind of trap you are using (fall, lava, drowning), also a picture would help.
If it's a trap that uses a water elevator (water, sign, water etc.), then my assumption is that baby zombies won't be able to move up the elevator since it will get stuck in the spaces for signs due to it's size. I could be wrong, however. I'm not sure how to fix that, but you could switch to a lava trap (which I find more efficient).
it never used to get stuck in 1.6. However something is wrong with the way they move in 1.7. Not sure if its a bug, or if they intend to make baby zombies/pigmen behave as a 1 block tall mob like cave spiders. God help us all if they do :/
What I did was make a 1-block tunnel leading from the spawning chamber to the killing area. The little zombies just walk along it and I kill them there (there are fences so I can hit them but they can't hit me.) It's not perfect though, I'll have to work on it.
You could put 2 ladders at the bottom of the water elevator. That works, The problem is though it needs 2 zombies to push one up so you will always have 2 zombies hanging around which could be a problem if the elevator is within the range of the spawner but maybe not as the limit is 6 before they stop and they only spawn 4 as a maximum right?

This seems like the best option, though you could just have the tunnel lead to a lava pit. That would be easier, but it would reduce efficiency somewhat.
