Am I the first person to create a mob farm with this design?

Context: I stacked a Mob grinder, a Mob spawner, and a sculk catalyst all into one big mob farm.
Am I the first to do this?????
Edit: I know the drawing looks bad

Possibly with your specific design (not a lot of detail in the drawing 😗), but arranging to kill a strems of mobs in range of a skulk catalyst is a fairly common way of farming skulk type blocks (using dripstone to do so is not the only way to do this, but is reasonable enough I'd be surprised if it hasn't been used).

Having a skeleton spawner under a "mob grinder" (presumably some form of dark room spawner) doesn't seem like something one would do intentionally because the two farms canabalize each other — but that may be playstyle preference.

What was yout thinking when building the rest of the contraption around the skeleton spawner?

Im not sure what you mean by " The mob farms canabalize each other" so I will assume that means they take each others mob spawning rates. When I built the skeleton spawner structure. It only spawned skeletons. Nothing else, so when I built the mob grinder (which was after the skeleton spawner was built) it didnt really interfere with each others mob rates

I'd not realized you were in one-block… given the circumstancesyou aren't likely to get close to the mob cap making that consideration moot.

It also explains why you've put so much into so comparatively limited space….

I actually have a lot of space It's just 1, I wanted more mob loot variety which explains why I want a mob grinder. 2, I did not want to create a separete sculk catalyst platform for me to get XP because it would just me more things to manage

For some context, I play one block and one of the loot chests that spawn from the one block is a chest that contains a mob spawner and a skeleton spawn egg, so I built a box for the spawner like how people would build a mob spawner, the only difference was instead of placing a slab on top, i just built a pillar that reaches the ceiling
