Talk:Tutorials/Zombified piglin farming

Shouldn't those portals be 6 blocks high rather than 23? AFAIK Zombie Pigmen only spawn with their feet inside portal block while having a solid block (obsidian frame) right under them or one block away down, so 2 blocks for feet, 1 block for body, 1 block headroom and 2 blocks of obsidian.

Isn't it better to have many small portals than few large portals since the pigmen only spawn on the BOTTOM block of a portal. OK so let's say that you want a 30x20 spawning platform. You should build a 30 block long portal that is only 2 blocks high. You then continue this pattern until you get the size you want. This is more effective as is adds more spawn blocks than just a large net-like-structure, and also gives more spawn platforms than a 30x20 portal would. -This comment was provided by Xzotius 67.142.114.34 20:23, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
