I made a mob trap and it's pretty large, it's just a huge dark rooms with water that leads to a lava/ladder trap, but I would like more mobs to spawn. I get a few, and usually they come in bursts. I've tried putting torches everywhere else, but does anyone have any other suggestions? I did blow a hella big hole underneath the room and put torches there.
You can't funnel mobs in an area. Putting torches everywhere will make it so they don't spawn there, but it won't increase the chances of mobs spawning anywhere else.
To give our children and future generations hope, we must destroy every child on Earth and never have any more. I have already started this misson, child numbers have been halved in my local district. Will you join the cause?

It does help a bit; the mobs outside of the trap help fill the limit. However, you probably aren't going to always have 250 mobs it your trap at once.
dig all the way down to bedrock in many places checking for caverns under your spawn room. flood any you find with light.
also how big is big? the massive mob factories are about 60*60 or bigger.
oh and mob's cant spawn on water, glass or half stones, so make sure there is plenty of room for them to spawn on before they wander into your water trap.
Well I think it was 32x15 and the roof is about 16, and that was the room. Then on the edge was a water channel for them to fall it. They eneded up spawning in the room but barely any fell in the trap. So i made the water funnel 8 more in like:
and so on. It used to be that the water wasn't even there. Would this help them fall down, or is is better to have more spawn?
