a catch system is way more simple then a door

Edit : he dosent have a grinder he has a gravity drop,Im simply say`n if he did have a grinder he wouldnt have to worry about a door.I personally like a lava blade set high ,some times just for fun cacti.bassically he could get way around the whole getting shot thing, if it was inclosed and a grinder....could just stand there and get the goods.

mob grinders are made to automatically kill mobs and leave the drops for the player to pick up. the gravity drop is a grinder, it's just a different kind of grinder. Also, using cactus in a grinder usually isn't the best of ideas due to a cactus' tendency to destroy any item that comes in contact with it.

p.s.
Please, for the love of god, work on your grammar

OP, the vertical section of your wiring should come out looking something like one of these: http://i.imgur.com/DPpck.png
If it were me i'd have to do something to cover that up because i think vertical wiring looks like crap, but that's me. I dont know why i didnt think to just look up a picture of vertical wiring before.

Wtf my grammer I see one typo "way" instead of "away" , and a few missed caps.Who gives a fly`n, its a msg board.

Any ways lil cat op if youd like I can show you basic "grinders".If not me then I can have my wife show ya what I tought her.

Lotta bad grammer in that one.

More on topic:

I'd recommend making your spawning pads just 3 blocks high (Mine is) then create a block switcher with glowstone on the ceiling, to act as lights. With that height, it'll be too light fo mobs to spawn. But you could make it up to 6 or 7 blocks high I think.


Best "try hard" option if you ask me.

Otherwise you can make the switch activate a piston that leads the items to cactus, under where they originally land, to just destroy whatever items you just don't want.

Thanks again for all of your help guys. This has been very informative. I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out, once I've finished.

Why not just add the ability to turn the blade on and off with 2 pistons? Benefit being when the grinder is off and its full of mobs, the server never has to worry about mobs spawning elsewhere, their all in the grinder haha.

Kinda, they despawn after being, I think, 132 blocks away. Somewhere near that number, but yeah... Kinda.

Have a sticky piston that's default pushed out so it blocks block the canal at it's beginning, so they can't fall down the canal. Just hit the switch off and the pistons will release, allowing them to fall through.

Completed it. To show my thanks, I would like to show it to you guys. Can someone explain how to post a picture? I don't see an option to do this, so how do I do it?
