Can mobs spawn on upside-down stairs?
I am building a bridge through the Nether, out of Nether Brick. The only issue, is that the bridge enters the bounds of a Nether Fort, meaning that Blazes, and Wither Skeletons can spawn on it.
I know that they cannot spawn on right-side up stairs, and half slabs, if placed on the ground (half a block below the normal block height). This is due to the block not considered as being a "full" block.
However, if I place stairs upside down, will this still be the case?
Solution 1:
Mobs can spawn on top of upside down stairs. The top of the block is solid/full so it is counted.
Here is the wiki on the subject:
the block directly below it must have a solid top surface (opaque, upside down slabs / stairs and others)
The wiki also states that for a blaze specifically:
the light level must be 11 or darker
