Answers. 1  It is good, make sure the ceiling is 5 blocks high or more, also i would recommend making an area about 50x50 to 75x75 so as to make sure they will spawn, also, no water is needed and light level doesn't matter... although it would limit the amount of other mobs spawning.

Levels of Light. The level of light determines if hostile or passive mobs will spawn. For example, a Cow will spawn above light level 7 or higher on Grass blocks. This also works for Pigs, Chickens and Sheep. Hostile mobs, such as Skeletons and Zombies, will spawn in light levels 7 or lower. A player may keep mobs like this from spawning in an area by blanketing the area with torches.
