I need help trying to find out how to get zombie pigmen from spawning in some areas in the nether like caves. I wanna know a quick and easy way to make them spawn where I want them to spawn in survival mode.
Best Answer
There are several ways you can try to stop Zombie Pigmen from spawning in the nether by breaking their spawn rules:
- Place half-slabs on every spot you do not want them to spawn on.
- Replace the Netherrack or Soul Sand with glass, or any transparent material.*
- Make sure everything is 1-block high. (Though it'll then be nearly impossible to treverse around).
You can't do anything regarding light levels as Zombie Pigmen spawn in any light condition.
*You can do this to the surrounding area of an overworld portal to prevent them from spawning there.

It depends on their positioning. If you use top slabs (yellow) or double slabs it will count as normal block and allows spawning. Using slabs at the bottom half (grey) will prevent mob spawning as it is now considered a transparent block.Can zombie Pigmen spawn on half slabs?
3 Answers. Show activity on this post. If you don't want to wait, you need to make the pigmen despawn - for example by moving over 128 blocks in one direction and coming back. This will make all angry pigmen in the area despawn and while you are coming back new pigmen will spawn that would be passive.How to Keep Zombie Pigmen from Spawning on Minecart Rails
