I have 4 double chests full of cobble and I have made a 5 story xp grinder that constantly has mobs in it and gives a ton of xp and I wanted to know how you guys would think about me building a public one for everyone to use?

How do u guys feel about this?

It sounds like a good idea, but wouldn't that take away some of the challenge of building enough xp to get that enchantment you really want?

Not sure how I feel about public grinders, just bear in mind if we find afkers at it, the spawner will be removed...

@wolf there is no spawner. It just uses darkness. so it shouldn't be too bad.

Mob limit

Is there any way to add a rule about max mobs allowed to build up before killing them? I know the other night they were talking about how there were 120 of them in one grinder. Not a big deal when only a couple people on, but that kind of buildup lags like crazy when there are a lot of people on.

There's already a rule in place that says being AFK at a grinder isn't allowed to prevent mobs from building up.

At a public grinder like this it might be an idea to add a mechanism to automatically disable the grinder. If I recall correctly Weighted Preasureplates output stronger singals the more mobs are on them, so thats easy to turn into something to disable the thing.

no

Trust me, it will devalue all of the high value enchanted tools on the market

You could also...

Use heavy pressureplates... a redstone signal goes off when they have enough mobs for lvl 30... make spawning turn off then ramza... maybe for like a minute or two...
