For those whose built one or building one, I just would like to know how high is your tower? how many spawning floors?

Also, would it be a waste of time building one over 6 floors high? Because you would be too far when you are in your collection/afk room for the higher rooms to spawn any mobs.

Any inputs would be appreciated... Thanks Legends.

The one I have in the sky has 5 floors 1020 spawnable blocks.Collection area 25 blocks below

The one underground I have (quite far away from the sky one has only 1 level but 512 spawnable pads) And collection is 25 above it

I think I get more from the underground one though

Which design are you using? I stopped making sky mob traps, it doesn't work as efficient as the underground traps.

yeah it's strange, it's not the same, its like they spawn almost way over 32+blocks away and sometimes don't even spawn in the 24 limit. completely diff. from PC

the other thing is of course the possibility of being close to a mob spawner as well if you are underground ?

I agree mob spawners do behave different to the PC. I have several underground and above ground. The above ground seem to work best during daylight because you need to light up a huge area for night time and I just dont like lights all over the place.Sky ones also make a dark area on the ground so dont forget to light up underneath it My sky one is 24 blocks high. I only made 1 floor and its sufficient for my needs.

My Mob Grinder is 16 floors high, each floor is 4 blocks high.

26 up and it has 5 floors it works good with only 4 floors
