Can mobs spawn on ladders in 1x1 shafts?
I have a few access shafts that are 1x1 with ladders along one side.
The areas at the tops and bottoms of these shafts are well-lit, but the shafts themselves are pitch-black most of the way.
Do I need to light these shafts to prevent mobs from spawning in them?
