So 709 and I have been discussing mob traps and have come up with a general spawning floor scheme that is washed of the mobs by piston controlled water flows every so often. In investigating if anyone else had gotten around Jeb's needless interference with mob traps, I stumbled upon a video of a small (21*21 -- like the center of the old BP trap) mob trap built near the top of the sky (spawning area at or below 240 for the moment) that worked incredibly well because you are essentially isolated from mobs spawning in the world below. This may not work so well on a smp server, but it is a quick build and may be worthwhile until the physics is again changed...

IE: I am going to blot the sun out over an area of the map again, but this time you will barely see it.
