Horizons III: What are you doing for mob systems?

[Xenulus]

I'm just wondering what those of you who are playing this pack are doing for mob drops. You can't break or move spawners, at least that I'm aware, and I'm not sure about certain conditions or items that can spawn them other than vanilla mechanics. What are you guys doing for mob systems?

Going vanilla.... Dark room with a drop.

You can't break or move spawners

Actually you can, "Chest Transporters", just make sure you store them in a backpack or something after picking something up to avoid moving around with the debuff.

After collecting the spawners, a simple room with fans or vector plates pushing mobs into a hole with Diamond Spikes and a Item Collector and XP Pylon (all from Cyclic) for collecting drops.

I was always fond of Lava Blade systems, myself. Sure more can go wrong, but that's half the fun, right?

Oh you can move them? Oh snap, I'll have to try that!

Going vanilla? I would recommend having a drop that can also be shortened by 1 block to make it an XP Farm.

I've got to ask: what is a Lava Blade system?

The use of lava to kill mobs over a stream of water to move the item whilst keeping the mobs in the lava.

Nice! That's a really nice, simple explanation, thanks @Nuclear_Creeper0
