Since I haven't seen anyone make a "spawner" for spider jockeys, I decided to make one myself.

Its design is based on the facts Spider Jockeys only spawn from **unedited** spawners (i.e. making one spawner spawn spiders every tick won't spawn jockeys), the only difference between jockeys and spiders are their hitboxes (all motion/block collision is based on the spider), and "naturally spawned" spiders have a 1% chance to spawn with a skeleton.
So here's how it works: Spiders spawn then fall onto the water, then gets brought to a corner where there is a 1x2 passageway with tripwire above and lava at the end. When a regular spider goes in, it gets incinerated by lava but if a jockey comes along, the tripwire would retract the floor using sticky pistons for a split second, long enough for the jockey alone to fall down alone without extra spiders (most of the time). The jockey then swims in another stream to a single collection point for all the corners. I think it spawns 2 jockeys per minute, if I did the math correct.

To make them spawn faster, just duplicate one and link the collection streams(but it might be laggy).
To make the spider jockey stronger/become some sort of a boss, you can just use infinite duration potion spawners and equipment spawners (I also found out that **all** undead mobs would equip armor and weapons if the item came out of thin air (i.e. spawners/commands, there is only a slight chance for an undead to be able to pick up dropped items))

Feel free to give some points of improvement or use it for your map or whatever, just give credit. :P

Just wanted to post this thing here because, what's the use of a creation if you don't share it? :D

A really good idea! I might use it in a map at some point!
