Nice.

 

dis be helpful

 

Might want to mention that ocelots can only spawn on layer 63 or above on a grass or leaf block and squid can only spawn between layer 46 and 62. I would also mention where mobs can spawn, example:
Cow (/spawner cow) Can only spawn on grass.
Skeleton (/spawner skeleton) Can only spawn at light level 7 or less.
Before you say that's all common sense I've had countless people ask me why sheep, pigs e.t.c aren't spawning and they have cobble underneath the spawner.
Otherwise well done :)

 

Lol, I know how you feel about that, since others have asked me too XD
I spawned animals the original way, by making a grass platform, wait for 10000000 days and finally a cow spawned. legit.

Knew the grass with cow thing from survival when people told me about it :3

 

Nice!

/spawner wither [Too OP and /gamerule mobGriefing is disabled and if the wither boss spawns and dies = free nether star = to OP
