I've been playing some hardcore minecraft and noticed a rather annoying and sometimes fatal bug. Zombies are spawning in lit areas. I died a few times before, restarted a few games. Now on my current one, I built an automated potato farm. The space under the potato farm is perfectly lit, and I took great pains to inspect each and every block for light level 8 and above. I was standing outside of the fence gate leading into the area under the farm and witnessed a zombie spawning in the middle. This shouldn't be possible. It isn't a zombie horde event either, as most of the time it happens during day and there isn't a single door for 1k blocks, so there are no villages. This happens on basic, unmodded minecraft. After it happened I loaded up my forge mod version with a light level overlay to double check each block. As you can see, there are no red numbers, which means no dark blocks. It only seems to be happening underneath this particular farm, too. Zombies aren't spawning inside the farm, or even in the main area of my compound, which is also lit by a jack-o-lantern placed under a leaf block every four blocks. Please look into this issue, as it's very irritating having mobs spawning where they shouldn't be able too.

How am I supposed to do that? I zipped the world file and it's approximately 42mb in size. Your system only allows for attachments of 10mb in size.
Get rid of all the light level 8 blocks and see if it keeps happening, please. We suspect social zombies are to blame.
I thought they got rid of social zombies? Those were the zombies that would spawn allies when you attacked them? Anyway, I'll give this a try. The spawn rate of these interloper s is so low, it might take a while to catch one. I don't suppose increasing the randomTickSpeed would increase mobility spawn rates as well?
I dropped four torches and it got rid of those 2x2 light level 9 spaces. I haven't seen any zombies spawning in there yet.. They only seem to spawn under the villagers in the farm, though. There are plenty of those 2x2 light level 9 areas in the rest of my base, and no zombies ever spawn inside my base proper, only under these two farms in question. It definitely seems like there's some kind of bug associated with zombies and villagers going on there.
Please force a crash by pressing F3 + C for 10 seconds while in-game and attach the crash report (minecraft/crash-reports/crash-<DATE>-client.txt) here.
It's the zombie siege event. I noticed that whenever this happened, it happened at in game midnight. The problem with that is, Zombie Siege events are only supposed to take place in villages. There are no doors anywhere, so there are no villages. Zombie Siege seems to happen wherever a villager is located, regardless of village status or not.
