The original Chapman creeper farm, and the design most later cat creeper farms are built from. Creepers spawn in a small dark box, two cats sitting in the middle scare them onto trapdoors around a central hole, and they drop into lava at the bottom. Trapdoors on the ceiling stop zombies and skeletons spawning, because creepers are shorter than both, and carpet on the floor stops spiders. That is the whole trick, and it costs four stacks of blocks and two of trapdoors. It stacks, the roof of one farm becoming the floor of the next. Java only, and the AFK spot has to sit exactly 120 blocks above the chest or nothing spawns at all.
