I just built a 20x20 monster trap, with 4 water canals leading to a center point. I lit up all the caves around me, and it won't spawn, what can I do to make it work?
Is it plugged in?
J/K, Are you staying in the sweet spot 24-32 blocks away? If more than 40, I don't think they will move off of their pads and into the water.

Im about 28 blocks away from it, I got one mob to spawn after an hour of waiting..
Are you sure they aren't spawning? If they are, I believe the new mob AI tell monsters to stay away from drops (could be wrong) so if your water isn't on the same level that they spawn at they may be refusing to walk in it. I'm assuming you couldn't see the trap spawning area from wherever you were.

Nah, you're right, that new AI makes mobs much less vulnerable to falls & other traps.
Maybe day/night (if the surface isn't lit)?
Just converted an old map to 1.2.3, the spawner works fine- they fall off 2 block high pads as usual. Netting maybe 10/minute with a pad slightly larger than yours.
Sire I inquire as I do with most, but do you mean to gloat? For is it truly such a tire to reply to the host with but a simple QUOTE?
And I lit up all the caves to allow the most spawning space in my trap.
