A fun box in Salire Castle

A fun box is a 3 by 3 structure made entirely out of hostile mob spawners, typically 1 skeleton in the center, 2 creepers and 2 spiders on the sides, and 4 zombies in the corners. Vechs likes to place them throughout his maps to provide a challenge to the player. Most funboxes are also encased in smooth stone, potentially making them easier to distinguish from the surrounding terrain (and providing a small amount of cobblestone, which can be useful when resources are limited).

Be warned, when finding one it is best to destroy it from an area where the mobs can't reach you. A fun box can spawn more mobs than a player can kill, which means that rushing in and placing torches may not be a viable strategy. 

Some fun boxes are actually placed in such a way that they are dormant (e.g. embedded in the floor of a tunnel), but don't let your guard down, since a single stray creeper explosion could easily provide enough valid spawning spaces to instantly surround you with mobs.
