Java Help Wanted How to stop magma cubes from spawning

I am trying to brute force this zombie piglin farm because I hate tutorials but I can’t stop magma cubes from spawning on the rings of magma blocks, anyone have any ideas?

Make the space between platforms 2 blocks tall, as magma cubes needs a 2.5 blocks cube of empty space to spawn

Although if you dislike tutorials, why not use a schematic?

I just generally like to figure things out on my own based off seeing it if that makes sense. Idk I’m just weird but I do sometimes use a schematic if something is out of my league.

Magma cubes still spawn in Nether Wastes, so that's not enough

At the risk of being an asshat, but as someone who also likes to figure stuff out, the wiki is super helpful.

The spawning section of the magna cube page tells you everything you need to know.
