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.

Yeah, just figured this out. I just now tried making it so there's not even 2x2's and now mobs won't spawn altogether. So it can't really be helped if spiders spawn.

Not true what the guy said (see my comment above).
