Overview
A small cobblestone-and-mossy-cobblestone room with a mob spawner in the centre and one or two chests against the walls. The spawner produces zombies, skeletons or spiders depending on the dungeon, and it fires whenever a player is within sixteen blocks, so approach with a light source and place torches on the spawner immediately to shut it down. Left running, a dungeon spawner is the simplest mob farm in the game and the best early experience source, which is why many players keep one alive rather than destroying it.
