First off, thanks for reading my post, hopefully someone can clear this up for me.
I'm fairly new to MC and have come across a few incomplete discussions about spawner-less mob spawners. (let me explain)
I was reading somewhere that if you build a large dark room and light up around it mob's will spawn in there.
Is this true?
does it work on xbox?
how big?
Details or links would be appreciated.

Mobs will only spawn in the dark. Light level of 7 or lower. Although slime can spawn in light. Nothing spawns in light besides you and animals. Mobs need a 1x2 block space to spawn besides enderman and spiders. Endererman needs 1x3 block space. Spiders need 2x2 and cave spiders need 1x1 space but you only see them in mineshafts in caves.
If you're building a mob system, I recommend lighting up the caves and the area around you on the surface. At least 120 blocks wide from the mob system.
Yes this method or the details work just like the PC (whatever you want to call it. I can't think of the word)

If I light up 120 blocks around my center how far vertical, do i have to clear?
Would it be possible to build this on the surface or a few blocks above?

Thanks for the help
Mobs will not spawn within 24 blocks of you, so you don't want to be standing any closer than 24 blocks away from your spawn pads (dark area where you want them to spawn). The "sweet zone" for spawning them is between 24 blocks and 32 blocks from you. Once they are farther away from you than 32 blocks, they stop moving about and may spontaneously despawn. If you're usuing gravity to kill them, you will want to build the trap so that they fall more than 23 blocks. If you're looking to injure them so that they are a 1-hit kill, a drop of 20 - 22 blocks works well. Although you can build the spawn pads on the ground and dig down to create the drop, it's a lot easier to put the spawn pads up in the air and make the area where you stand on the ground. There are also designs where the player stands above the trap and the mobs are pushed by water up to the player. Those designs are trickier to build, but can work very well.
