Using a Skeleton Spawner to Get Arrows

While I was lighting up the caverns underneath my base, I found a skeleton spawner. I put up torches so that light levels were high enough to stop the spawner from working, and carved out a 9x9 block space with the spawner at the center. Then I put up a circuit of Redstone lamps that could be turned off and on from a safe space.

Nothing fancy - view from safe place into spawning chamber.


No chutes, no conveyer belts. I turn off the lights and wait for the skeletons to fill the space, then I turn on the lights, wait for the skeletons to stop shooting each other, and go in to kill off the survivors. I got 17 arrows in a short space with a lot less effort than it took to make the big mob grinder I called "Wombat"*.
