Well, lately I've been either on vacation or incredibly sick, so that's my excuse. Though you don't get stuck in the squid grinder without working.
Yeah... he he... about that... I've just been working on a school project, but I am done now! So I can help more.
We have some good news, and some bad news. The bad news is that I'm hopelessly lost... The good news? Well, see for yourself...
*throws hands into air after wasting three hours of life trying to figure out how exactly the heck to do this*
Lol, why are you trying to use a skeleton spawner? A dark room grinder with a channel to separate of a few skeletons would be more effective yes?
I predict he will use a iron golem to kill all mobs except for the creepers that spawn from a dark room. (iron golems kill all mobs except for creepers.) The spawner will supply the skeletons for the other side of the farm, which will shoot the creepers for discs.
Right, but that will require building a darkroom within spawning range of the skeleton spawner to have both active. Which means eliminating spawning of mobs within 64 blocks of player outside of the darkroom. IMO, the disabling spawn locations within 64 blocks of player is easily the biggest job. Hence, easier to build a darkroom in an isolated area, and separate skeletons off? Considering all this is for a disc farm. On the other hand, if you combine this into a multi-purpose project, using a skeleton spawner has a lot more potential.
Spawning space in a dark room will be no problem. The problem comes into separating skellies from creepers. There is no way outside of a golem to kill everything but the creepers. Therefore, he will need the skelly spawner to put the skellies into the "shooting range". The creepers land just beyond in a 1x1 spot and the player stands just a little beyond that.
