How do I spawn a Rockzilla?

[Catacaramel]

People have been having some issues with spawning this giant crab and I have too, so I'm hoping someone knows a really good way to summon it.

[Catacaramel]

I was able to get it to spawn with obsidian walls, coral, and coal torches near an ocean. This thing is for taming, not killing, since the drops aren't too great.

try coming to my world Terestria and you can watch rockzilla spawning infront of you XD

i made the altar to summon him on top the ocean

[Protheus]

When you gonna spawn him in?

Here's the spawn info for Rockzilla:

Chance:                   1
Minimum Spacing:          4
Minimum Player Distance:  8
Time:                     Day
Light Conditions:         Light, Dark
Blocks Category:          Temple
Chunk Conditions:

    Minimum of 30 blocks from Temple category
    Minimum of 10 blocks from Beach category
    Minimum of 5 blocks from Lighting category

    Maximum of 0 Rockzilla entities

Not sure what the Temple category contains, but I assume it's Obsidian blocks.

Everyone always seem to use Obsidian walls/floors because that's what we thought was needed, but there are way more possibilities.

Temple Blocks

Aztec Furnace Wall
Banded Golden Wall
Carved Stone Tile
Checkered Obsidian Wall
Crossed Furnace Wall
Golden Wall
Grated Furnace wall
Obsidian Brick Wall
Octagon Diamond Wall
Ornamental Stone Wall
Ornamental Swirl Stone Wall
Rhombus Obsidian Wall
Shattered Dark Lumite Wall
Shattered Light Lumite Wall
Shattered Lumite Wall
Square Diamond Wall
Square Obsidian Wall
Star Diamond Wall
Studded Golden Wall

Extracted from the game's resources.

What, you can do that?! O.o
I wish I also knew how to do it so I can get maximum output for my mob spawner. XD

I'm in 'decoration' mode on my storage vault. I decided on an obsidian floor. Just as I was about to craft 700+ obsidian floor blocks, I remembered this post and another about the Rockzilla spawning at a house. I have quite a number of natural blocks in my storage vault as many people do. I'm trying to interpret the criteria for spawning a Rockzilla, which I'd like to avoid. Would water be considered part of the 'beach' category? If it is, I'm spawning Rockzillas in my storage room. Or is it just sand, mud, and shells? Normallly I'd experiment and find out, ( I don't have a Temple now) but the cost of 700+ obsidian floor is a bit much for an experiment-- if I end up not using them.

Beach blocks:

Coral
Driftwood
Seashells
Shorewood
Shorewood Husk
Shorewood Leaves

Water and Sand don't count for beach blocks.

Lounger to the rescue again! Thanks. Good to know about driftwood and Shorewood. Now I know how to keep under the threashold.

Build a pyramid Obsidian in the square 7x7 on the beach! On the corners down Set from the top of Coal Torches. That should be enough already. You need obsidian blocks (I think Walls) Sand, Water, flares (coal), coral and maybe even mussels. He spawns about 6 to 8 clock early if you find yourself in the "chunk".

"Lightning" category, not sure if used incorrect word in game resources or wherever you copied this info from.
"Lighting" excess "n" makes it a completely different thing. One is a light source, the other is an energetic plasma fractal occurance of atmospheric nature.

[Lounger, The Creator]

It's lighting in the game so it was my mistake.
