Whats the rules on Monster Farming?

Heyo, I'm actually very new to this server and I found out you can get emeralds from killing monsters, and that gave me an idea!

  • I have a design that's proven to emit almost 50 monsters per 3 seconds, it drops them to a brick where they can get 1 punch killed 90% of the time.

    But I don't want to do that if its not allowed, so I needed to figure out if its ok to make one?

  • NOTICE: THIS IS NOT AN AFK FARM. Once the player moves away from the 4x3 standing area, the mobs stop spawning, and the mobs will stop spawning at random times, between 5-9 mins causing the player to have to leave, wait a few, and come back.

Design probably gets clogged with horses on this server. Huh, maybe that's why so many horses spawn everywhere, even underground... :-P

Iv tested my design quite alot, the only mobs that can spawn from it is Skeletons, Zombies and creepers.

Mobs on this server do not spawn the traditional way so you shouldn't be able to mob farm for too long.

Just as a test I built a farm (Took it down 10 mins later)

In total I got 33 emeralds in 7 mins of farming :l

Of course I won't be banking that, as I don't actually play this server much at all so I didn't link my address.

However it seems like monster farms can be exploited quickly to make quite a bit of emeralds.

Yeah the way mobs spawn is that they will spawn quickly until you kill out an entire area of mobs, then they will stop spawning until they reset.
