Hey everyone, I know that there are multiple issues out there with the 1.8 Mob Skytraps not working, and I have that same exact problem. I worked super hard in survival to make a mob trap I was going to call my mob cloud and it would rain mobs, and this thing took me 3 weeks to complete. It is quite impressive for a survival only contraption. I made it in the shape of a cloud to make it seem iconic or symbolic in a way, I didn't want something that was just a huge cobblestone box. My design theory was simple, make a huge cloud that is symmetrical length wise and and width wise, then add the spawn platforms with the trapdoors and add the water, make all the mobs flow into a center hole. This is after all the basic concept for a fairly simple mob farm. So thats exactly what I did and no luck. I have no idea what I did wrong. I used trapdoors on the platforms and made sure that anyway the mobs drop into the water they will be transported into the center. No mobs. No rain from my cloud. No xp. No loot. Nada. Zip. ZERO. So here I am on my christmas break ready to move onto other projects, but I can't without this thing to work. I made my trap 70 blocks higher than sea level, it is completely dark in the spawn rooms, my render distance is above 10, im way more than 28 blocks away from it, and I made the land around it at sea level unspawnable with torches, I caved alot of area, and don't even think that im on peaceful because I checked more than 1 time. So please please please someone make my day. and help my make it rain! Ill try anything, ILL GIVE YOU A COOKIE! Jk healthy is the way to go
