They are not set to a particular Y level other than "inside the structure" and are indeed columns several blocks high. They do not require any special type of block, any regular spawnable block suffices.		{{IN\|bedrock}}, instead of spawning anywhere within a structural bounding box, ''most'' mobs spawn only in ''structure spawn locations'' along varied-length lines spaced apart 4-11 blocks throughout the fortress.
