Hey, i recently built a mob spawner on xbox so that i could get fast exp... i did everything that i watched videos for; made spawn pads, water funnel. a drop enough to injure them but to keep them alive so i could kill them.. but once i built it, i get maybe 1 - 5 mobs a minute?? ive seen videos on youtube of people getting tons and tons at a time... How?! its driving me nuts. If anyone can assist me with a video tutorial or a secret that I might have missed.. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Lite all the caves up! Took me a bit to get mine working. I get a constant flow + i get enderman.
If you want quick xp then look up blaze xp farm! I made a few and it is by far the best way to lvl up as of now. Then make a sky spawner that drops everything to there death and use that for loot.
Took this pic when i finished my mob farm, Got a little ender party going on.(survival world)- This is after waiting for about 2 min.
To really increase mob spawn rates you will need to prevent them spawning elsewhere, that is to say light up all the dark areas where they can spawn, anywhere inside of 144 blocks in all directions from the perimeter of the area you occupy while activating the spawning grounds, don't worry too much about the distance, just start lighting as many caves as you can, and measure the efficiency using your daytime rates. HTH

Yeah what they said once alot of the surrounding caves are lit your mob output will skyrocket!!
ok, im obviously building the thing wrong.. i built one of the sky spawners.. but i have no idea what you guys are talking about lighting caves up etc.

You have to light up caves because if they are still dark, mobs will just spawn there. If you light them up, mobs can't spawn there, forcing them to spawn in the nearest dark location, which would be a room you build.
so if i built the spawner room 100 blocks from the ground it should be alright?
Pretty much. Then all you'd need is to be close enough to it or mobs to spawn. Since that is the only place within 100 blocks to spawn, there should be quite a few in it.

You've gotta be far away enought for them to spawn
The room they spawn in has to be a decent size.
Thats all I really know. I made a grinder out of a
Skelly spawner. I get bones and arrows for days
