Hellow there! I'm not quite sure if this should go in this Catagory,or if the idea has already been made reality, but here goes.
I saw a video on the forums not to long ago, on how to control mob spawning,but it involved things like world edit and singleplayer commands, like /killall. So I thought it would be cool if some one made a mob control tower. How it would work would be that there would be rooms where mobs could spawn. Going, as you probably guessed, up in a tower. It would have glow stone in each room as light, and pistons to retract , and hide the glow stone, as well as push it back out.This way, each room, when un-lit would make mobs only spawn inside the tower,and when lit, would alow more mobs to spawn in the world. (Since there si a max amount of mobs that can spawn at a time.)
The tower can have as many rooms as desired, And room size does not matter eather. As long as when all rooms are lit, no mobs spawn outside the tower. There must be a control room. This room can be anywere in the tower, although it will probably be on the bottom. This room must also be able to light each room indivisually. Bonus points if it can light and un-light all rooms at the same time as well as indivisually. Super bonus points if you can light sections of the tower as well (I.e top half and bottom half.)Sepretly.
and instant god mode if it's built legitly!
Well, that's all there is too it. Good luck! :3
Tip:It would be a good idea if each room is only 2 blocks high, so endermen don't spawn.
Another achivment would be if you can also incorporate a mob grinder into the tower, although this would be rather difficult, since mobs will die, and that may allow some mobs to spawn outside.
(P.s towers, can go underground as well. Points if it goes to bedrock.)

"there is one problem
when you play normaly, you won't have more than 100 mobs in the chunks around you
if you make a mobtower with out killing mobs, you will get over 150 on one place and that will cause massive lag"
Solution: If you also make a sunroof, that goes to bedrock, that can also be controlled by pistons, this should help fix it, along with give you more bonus points!
(So many points X.X Maybe i should just make this a challange. XD)

Big time...
Tueland wins!
Good point, putting in a solution now! :3
Oh ok. I put one up in that section too, just incase. TY :biggrin.gif:
