Hey I built this monster farm but they don´t spawn in it. I double checked there is no light in there. Is it to small or does anyone know my mistake?

I just saw that monster spawn in there but it takes a long time for spawning one monster can I do anything to speed that up?

Are you on the "Easy" difficulty? Are there slabs where the monsters are supposed to spawn? What's the diameter of the ground inside?

I´m on Normal difficulty. There´re no slabs where the monsters are supposed to spawn. The diameter is 3x4 blocks.

That's your problem, monsters are spawning in the dark caves and areas around the spawner. Light up all the caves and areas around your spawn in a 150+ block radius, and increase your spawner diameter by 10+ blocks. That way more can spawn even if everything around the spawner is not entirely lit up. ;)

So I did as you said and lit up a bunch of caves etc. but still there spawning mobs just really rear so I built a platform 150 blocks above the ground and monsters still ar not really spawning just one or two ever 5 min

Mobs won't spam within a 24 block radius of you. Make sure the spawning platform is further than that.

That's a really short passive spawner.

Needs to be bigger and taller. You appear to have only a part of a spawner.

A spawning cage like that is only really effective in a skyblock where the mobs have nowhere else to spawn, as Sketch said you need to light up EVERYWHERE else inc all the chunks on the surface which you load. Also all the underground caves in those chunks to which there's probably a lot.
