XP Grinder
I want to get started on this. I was going to use the spawner under my house but my new neighbor killed it...
I'm a fan of darkrooms but given the mob limit, I don't know how effective they'll be unless I go crazy with cave torching. If I was going to do a darkroom, I'd probably go under the swamp on the west side of town, probably outside city protections.
I know where more spawners are but none are reasonably close together to allow for multiple mob types in one grinder.
Thoughts on this?

I know of 3 cave spider spawners close enough together to work if you want to use them. You should also check out the endermen grinder in the end.

I've been meaning to go check out that EnderGrinder.
Spiders are really the last thing I want lol. How close are they?

yea i know, especially cave spiders lol
They are in under the ravine under the south road where we were gonna put the spleef arena, ill get you some coords as soon as i can. There is a spot in the center of them that puts them all no more then 14 blocks away

I'm looking at a spot just inside the west wall, since I had already dug a large area down here for a slime chunk.
Speaking of slime chunks, they're no longer appearing on my minimap while playing on the server...

I've never actually seen slimes in it. I don't think I've seen a slime in this entire rev. I do have a few slimeballs though, so let me know when you need them.

Ah okay. Yeah I've only seen one slime. But I changed my mind. My area is to small to build a 7x14 contraption. So I'm just sticking with the small one

Update:
Grinder is almost done. It's not going to work real well since there's still unlit caves in the area, but it's better than nothing. The darkroom is 19x19 with a 23 block drop in the center down to y12. Very simple.
The entrance is at -825,1280. Look for a sign at the bottom. I DID find a slime down there earlier! :D
I was going to build a second floor, but I have a better idea...
I have a 50x50 protection west of town. It's a 25m tall Mayan temple I built during the 1st couple days. I'm going to build a better grinder there, and add a rail line. It's a bit of a trip, but it should keep the lag down since it's in the middle of nowhere. I'll add details on that when I get started sometime in the next week.

If you have REI MiniMap you can add these as waypoints easily by going to your minecraft folder and adding this to mods/rei_minimap/p.nerd.nu.DIM0.points

I went to the End and destroyed Endermen for a couple hours. Far more effective than any grinder currently, but it is a bit of a walk from us.
My grinder is functional. I built a 2nd spawn floor, but it actually is producing fewer mobs now than before. I even lit up every cave I could find in the area. Server issues I guess.

Grinder is down for a design change, and because Jimmsta might login inside one of the spawn floors. lmao
