hey, i am building a nether hub for my server and am wondering the spawning requirements for ghasts and pigmen, possibly magma creams but i dont think they'll be a problem. What i want to AVOID is decking the place with slabs, if its the only way then so be it. But if anyone knows what the exact spawning mechanics of pigmen (pigmen are the only real problem). Ive heard they only spawn on netherack, but i wanna get a second opinion if i can. With ghasts ive heard they can only spawn in a 5x5 area. I can deal with that if its the only problem by putting lamps and stuff so theres no 5x5 area for them to spawn. The only reason im asking this is because i dont want to use slabs, i dont like the design and textures for some of the slabs, i want to use blocks if i can
pigmen need a 2x1x1 space free of liquids, blocks and other entities, ghasts need a 5x5x5 air area to spawn, and magma creams spawn randomly. might have to turn off mobs, peaceful, or "deck with slabs/water"

with world edit and world guard you can flag a certain region to not spawn certain mobs

I'm going to start a new season to my old Hardcore Survival Island series on youtube since my friend and I recently got back to playing Minecraft a bit. If you want to join us and we can depend on you to be able to join us in the server I set up at the right times then feel free to message me.
could also use "transparent blocks" like glass, leaves, glowstone, etc.

i cant just mess with the server and turn mob spawning off and stuff like that, i do not have admin or op and the admins want to keep it as legit as possible

*ghasts can spawn in 4-high spaces (still need 5x5 horizontally, though,and solid blocks to spawn on. Slabs, etc. will stop ghasts spawning just as much as they stop everything else.)
