The video above shows the effectiveness of preventing spider spawning in your mob farm by strategically placing slabs (or any other block). I tried this out in my own mob farm, reported the results, and discussed the potential reasons for the results.

For learning about how the mob spawning algorithm works, I used the following sources:
- https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/survival-mode/228049-mob-spawning-algorithm-in-1-2_01-analyzed
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShrG24eWC7g (this video is intended for modern Minecraft, but a lot of the process is same as reported in the previous link)

I hope you enjoyed the clickbait thumbnail, I enjoyed making it. I like imagining in my head that someone out there really did have their attention grabbed by the thumbnail and clicked the video, only to be greeted with a video on one of the most niche topics possible: slightly increasing mob farm efficiency in a 13-year old version of Minecraft. If that person is you, I'm sorry.
