Spider grinder - zev_bellringer - 12-24-2017 HOORAY ive found a Cave Spider spawner, i want to build a grinder round it, but i might need some help First, if i want to retain 'ownership of it, should i claim the area round it, to stop anyone else trying to annexe it? Ill make it a publuic grinder eventually, something like /warp cspider The actual spawner is on level 14 in a mine shaft.  I have a design  ive tried in solo creative mode, then on another server.   Basically the spawner sits in the centre of a chamber, at least 4 blocks from walls and cieiling. spiders spawn and drop onto the floor. The floor has a water flow that sweeps everything to a 3x 1 hole, along 4 blocks to a killing zone. I know this works. The snag is the spiders are fulll health, and most it takes me two hits to kill one. I did think i could put pistons in the kill chambe rto inflict crush damage, buy then im lacking info how to do this. whats the best ay to kill a spider, to avoid it being able to hit you - ive used a kill chamber you stand on, but now and then u get thrown back by a spider, but no damage. How would you detect when a spider is in the kill zone to activate a piston? How much crush damage does a piston do? How would i damp the spawner down when no one is there -  redstone operated lights? How far away would the kill chamber have to be be to aviod any spiders spawning inside the player area? Any advice gratefull received Zev RE: Spider grinder - The_4thdoctor - 12-24-2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZlgMUTJkjQ RE: Spider grinder - zev_bellringer - 12-24-2017 Hmmm i sat thru all 38 minute sof that... Its waay over the tops. i have a much simpler design, it delivers spiders, the problem is i can design a kill zone where i can kill them, but they cant poison me. The spider senf up coming along a 1x3 covered channel, its how to cap the end  is the problem: This doesnt worrk: Channel terminates in Top layer  - 3 iron rails set back on block Botom  Glass block - trapdoor - glass block RE: Spider grinder - shisuan - 12-25-2017 talk to me or geckorian when we are on and we can show you a working design
