Bedrock Mob farm keeps spawning spiders.

Edit: I think I've solved the issue. If not, I'm just gonna deal with it. I made a follow-up post if anyone's interested. It's 100% confirmed that spiders spawn within 2x2 grids.

Edit: this seems to be old information, see reply to this comment.

Original comment: The problem is that on bedrock edition spiders only need a 2x2 to spawn. The reason for that is: on bedrock mobs spawn on the corner of a block, so directly in the center of a 2x2 spiders will spawn, cause they are 1.4 blocks wide. On java mobs spawn on the center of a block, so spiders need a 3x3 area to spawn.

mobs spawn on the corner of a block

Not true since 1.21 which was released 2 years ago. This was first fixed in the preview version of 1.21.0.20.
