I also want in on this chain world. Be warned, people that come after me: I don't die easily. Of course, knowing you people there will be a fire maze around the spawn by the time I get the world...

1 log = 1 charcoal = 8 fully "cooked" object
1 log = 4 planks = 8 sticks = 4 fully "cooked" objects

1 log = 4 planks = 6 fully "cooked" objects
1 coal (from mining) = 8 fully "cooked" objects

I only now realised that logs are almost as good as coal when converted into planks. Course coal stacks higher.

Is there a way to get just spiders to spawn inside a monster grinder, without using spawners? I'm trying to get loads of string to turn into wool, but I'm not that bothered by the rest of the drops (and our server has a regular grinder for those anyway).

I've tried the only tip I got from the minecraft wiki, which was to make the spawning floors only 2 high (minimum required for spiders apparently) but to make the top block glass panes (they said any transparent block is fine). I haven't yet tried glass blocks because argh so much glass but that's one of the things on my list. The other thing I need to double check is that I'm standing far enough away to make the monsters spawn.

You would still get creepers in that. It seems wasteful to me to build something only for spiders when you will get the same rate of spider spawning in a catch-all mob tower and all you need to do is fill you inventory with a single string in each cubby and leave your guy standing next to the drop area overnight.

Well, tbh the existing mob grinder that one of my friends built kinda sucks - it allows endermen to spawn but can't kill them, it destroys most of the string because of the way the lava is placed. I did honestly think there'd be a way to get just spiders to spawn. I think I'll go whine at the server admin til they spawn me a spider spawner :)
