I have a world with a fortress, created using the same seed that a friend used, and he has plenty of blazes. I have none.
So, it's a big deal for me, since I can't even make an experience farm out of them. Luckily my seed also has a double zombie spawner, so I have a good experience farm already.
I had to add in a friggin' blaze rod from creative just to make a brewing stand.
The map that I've just given up on will shed some light on why people are so mad about blaze spawners. There are NO blaze in my map! I went in through creative, found a random seed that was perfect, it had a blaze spawner, there was tons of blaze on creative, went in to a survival map, by the time I went through a nether portal, already more hours than I want to admit to(I was a bit obssesed with enchanting) and the Blaze spawner wasn't there and surprise surprise, there was NO blaze period. Without the spawner, they were not spawning at all. I don't think there could be a more frustrating bug due to the fact you NEED blaze(well other than the bug when the game first came out that the inventory on my character would be wiped out whenever I saved and exited the game).
I just now today linked my minecraft and newly created facebook account. so give me some time, eh? it was my friends world for none, and all over with one is mine. tomorrow should have pics
Don't feel you have to provide pics when some jerk demands them, anyone can test this out in minutes by generating seeds themselves in creative.
Seeds are different between creative and survivor for some people(like me), if the map is made as a creative map, Blaze Spawners will be visable/function, however when the exact same seed is made as a survival map, the Blaze spawner doesn't work, doesn't exsist or Blazes just don't spawn.
Blazes are not supposed to spawn randomly or naturally. They are only supposed to spawn from Blaze Spawners.
I have made 10 different worlds. None of those had Blazes or Blaze Spawners. The Nether is severely broken right now and 4J knows it. They're onto fixing the Blazes and the Netherfortress generation. They're going to make sure every single world after the bug update or TU9, whichever they introduce the changes in, will always spawn full Nether Fortresses. That manes every world will have Blazes, Nether Wart, and full Fortresses.
No... Please research or at least know something about Blazes before you start making false facts. Blazes only spawn at a spawn block, much like how monsters spawn in a dungeon.
You should play the game and see how it plays out, and read what others are saying before you sound like a donkey. Not all monsters spawn in dungeons. otherwise they wouldn't be able to cover the world like they do at night.

I need to give out more reputation. I'm not used to the system, but I see so many helpful posts. D: Sorry if I forget you!
Without a blaze spawner, you cannot get a brewing stand without going to creative mode, neither can you get blaze powder, which can be used as an ingredient in brewing potions. That's why people are so obsessed, but, they aren't in every world (Nether fortresses), which causes commotion, and a sort of desperation because people want a seed where there is a legit nether fortress and blaze spawner. But, I've found 4 worlds with nether fortresses and all had working blaze spawners, and these worlds were randomly generated...
Blaze spawners can be found only in Nether Fortresses, and will start spawning Blazes once the player gets within 16 blocks. The spawners have a chance of spawning 1-4 Blazes at once. Blazes can only spawn in light level 11 or lower (at the lower half of their body). Blazes can also spawn naturally elsewhere in Nether Fortresses.
Example: my friends world has a fortress, it has like 5 corridors, 1 cell room (ones with several small rooms with fenced windows), and one blaze spawner platform, with no spawner. we started exploring, after a few minutes found a blaze. killed it, grabbed the rod. started digging up nether bricks. after about 10 minutes we were fighting about as many blazes before we ran. (we gave up on the world because it didnt have any wart)
Yes the nether is "suppose" to spawn blaze naturally in the nether, however it most likely is a bug on the 360 version, as seems to be the problem with a lot of people, if there is no spawner, blaze won't appear, I've spent a couple HOURS in my nether and NOTHING, zilch, nada can't find a single one, explored the entire nether fortress, got a ton of nether wart, killed a bunch of the slimes and zombie pig men, and absolutely ZERO blazes, had to give up on that map.
well I have blazes and no spawner. so I don't have a bug you guys all have, i'm sorry. could have said "we have a bug that if we dont have a spawner, we dont have blazes" not so hard now was that?
In my world i have found 2 blaze spawners.
No other blazes but by them.
When I disabled them by filling the area up with blocks. No blazes period.
I have just spent hours upon hours in the nether fortress in my world and have experienced absolutely 0 blazes randomly. I leave my game AFK by my blaze farm to get xp and there are no blaze other than the ones in my farm.
Also from my understanding, the pc didn't even have natural blazes in update 1.0.1, our current update, so it's hard for me personally to believe that there are natural blazes.
No need to be so rude. This is not speculation or something, it's observation. In the Xbox version of the game, from my experience, Blaze do in fact spawn all over, despite not having a spawner present. You can't just talk down to me and say I'm wrong. I have seen it.
Because they wander around. Do you expect a blaze to spawn and just stay perfectly still?
blazes spawn naturally in fortresses. by some bug, some people don't have them spawn naturally.
and like i said, in my friends world there is no spawner at all, we checked. by the end of our nether trip, we had fought over 15 blazes, most of which spawned after we got there

Just report it in the bug thread and ignore the greybeards trying to sharpen their epeen. It's like ubergine said - it's random (as in not predictable). At this point in development, blazes are not supposed to spawn without a spawner block, such behavior was added later in the PC version and our devleopment should not have progressed that far.
If they are spawning naturally, as oppsoedto spawning from a hidden spawner block, 4j will need to know.

Love having the two blaze spawners in my map. Not only is it great for blaze rod drops, but it's phenomenal for quick level ups to enchant items. I think once you reach level 27/28, it only takes about 5-6 blazes to level up each time. Before that, you level up quickly.

thank you, you have made the most sense so far. thank you for explaining it. I thought that I was experiencing what was normal, and they had a glitch preventing them from spawning naturally.

And they say cracked is whack.. Pffft...
Thats from http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Blaze. No, I did not edit it.

The world I'm currently using had blaze while in creative, but this was not the case when i loaded the map fresh in survival.

ill check that invisible spawner theory again
blazes ARE supposed to spawn naturally, but arent implemented in such a way yet, and I'm getting them spawning naturally is a glitch?
now thats odd
