Hey guys it is _Woolfie, today i will be explaining a lot about mob spawners. I will go through each mob spawner and explain how they will spawn and where they should be placed for them to spawn. Including the requirements allowing them to spawn in Skyblock & Islands. I will also give additional information about each mob and what they drop.
(If there are any mistakes please let me know. Im open to anything and any suggestions for the thread).
It does look bright in the screen shots and that is because i am using night vision. Without it you would not be able to see anything. So just imagine that the room is dark. ;)

When it says in the description "No block requirement needed", that means that the mob does not need a special block to spawn.
