Talk:Monster Spawner

They can't spawn enemy mobs after they have been collected, and replaced. --Zaneo 14:57, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Anyone been able to test the spawn radius of a Mob Spawner? 173.20.67.107 14:18, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * it is a fair few blocks. I'd say, about 7 block radius?

Has anyone tested whether mobs will spawn during the day? Or underwater? I can't seem to find an answer, although I dont think they do during the day (even if there is no light around the spawner).


 * I'm pretty sure they spawn during the day; after all, mobs can spawn anywhere in darkness, even during the day. Why not around mob spawners? Though to be honest, I'm pretty sure many people's mob farms work during the day, if they keep the spawner enclosed in darkness. - JC 00:01, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Empty spawner
I had discovered this dungeon earlierand looted it's chests, but after returning to loot the mossy cobblestone I noticed the Mob Spawner was empty. After a few minutes it did spawn a spider like it did before, but there is no warning. Is this common? External Image Link - AARST
 * probably a bug.--Kizzycocoa 09:02, 11 September 2010 (CDT)
