Ok, so I've been researching this for some time now and have done minimal testing. I'm trying to prevent spiders from spawning in my water trench mob spawner; the one with the four 8x8 platforms. Now the spawning rules for spiders are that they need a 3x3 area with 2 blocks of headroom. Does anyone have an efficient design or know where I can find one?
I've thought about it. I guess I'll have to play with it. I want to eliminate spider spawning and at the same time maximize the spawn area for other mobs, minus endermen of course.
I really don't know if you can anymore.
I've seen spiders spawn on 1x1 platforms before, and I looked at them and said, "The heck, game? That is not 2x2 at all!"
Supposedly making a #-shaped design works best, but I personally would re-work the device to include them by making the trenches 2 or 3 wide instead.
I already have a spider spawner that I can use. What I really don't like is that they can clog up my current system. I guess I could make the 2x2 drop hole a 4x4...

better you do that anyway especially if can't get them not to spawn. Since you have no need of them, maybe just make a separator and push them out into lava or something...

Spiders can fit through a 1 high opening!!!!! Flush them out....... that's genius!!
i think we should all use common sense and logic when we answer and ask a question but always stay open minded
just cause science fails to explain something does not mean its real (afterlife,big foot, ghosts etc..) does not mean its fake try to stay opened mined instead of closed
If you don't mind doing the extra work, make you're spawning pad 5x5 instead with 4 slabs spaced a block apart on each pad. That's how I made them it and it works fine. No spiders.
This video linked to Etho's video and he had a pretty good idea about spawning pads. It's a little older design but I think we can get some good spawn rates when I put it up in the sky!
Making a 3x3 spawn pad with a slab in the middle (like Etho did) works. You can even have the option to enable and disable spider spawning whenever you want

I've searched google and youtube to no avail.
