Hello, I Have Recently Found a Zombie Spawner and want to make an exp farm out of it. However, I need 3 questions answered before I can build it...
1.) How much does a zombie have to fall until it has 1/2 a heart?
2.) Can they spawn in air?
3.) I found Coca Beans in the large chest, What can I do with Them?
25 blocks til 1/2 heart. umm yes they do spawn in the air. and i would suggest dying two sheep brown, and continuously sheering their wool for unlimted brown wool
i am not sure if this still works but in 1.1 for some reason when i made a trap that had them fall and get cariied to this little square, and i kill them all, but they still spawned in air
I have 2 spawners myself, but my problem is figuring a way to lift the mobs up from the spawn chamber for the drop and grind. I know they wont spawn mobs without a player within 16 blocks of them either so my water lifts have all sucked so far.

Wiki says 23 blocks kills so 22 blocks would leave half a heart, however the one i made resently at this high still kills 1 or 2, if your worried about that, make it 21 and you might have to punch them twice. also, make sure when your moving the across they can't jump (so 2 high room/channel) as that adds hieght to the fall and therefore damage.
yes they can, if your plan is to dig out a hole under the whole spawner area, bare in mind you have to be within 16 block of the spawner for anything to spawn, so you can't be stood at the very bottom
dye sheep/wool brown or craft cookies... i'd say keep them in a chest and hope they get a better use tho :wink.gif:
water lifts are pretty simple for most mobs. skellies and zombies, move them all into 1 square then alternate signs and water up a tube up 20 or so blocks, then across 3 or 4 blocks to a drop next to where the spawner is, and your standing in range.
Spiders need a 2x2 space, but a similar pattern of signs and water in a larger tube will work.
cave spiders however are a pain and don't swim up, i use piston crushers to weaken them instead.
do you mean a shaft 2x1 wide and just alternate water/sign every block upward?

ps. 23 blocks to get half a heart
Thank you, +1
