Tip:
Mobs Go with the Flow
Place water sources in strategic locations in the ditch to wash the mobs down-
stream away from critical areas. This can help you build a smaller perimeter be-

.
FIGURE 8.15
A ditch with water flowing to a central point (the middle-front here)
sweeps any mobs away from the entrance so they can exit through the gap in the front.
If spiders still give you the shivers and you want to keep your AAA insurance rating, build
a ditch for all other mobs and then a wall behind it with an overhang. Or if you want to
get a little fancier, make the third layer of the wall iron bars or a glass pane, and put a final
layer on top. Spiders can't get a grip on bars or glass, so you'll still be able to look out on
the marauding hordes.
