MC-56687 was falsely closed based on someone not knowing what "mob" meant. Passive mobs are in fact mobs after all. This should be reopened.
What exactly is this report about?
About passive mobs spawning or about specific spawning behavior (similar to MC-143420)?
Could you please update the report to make this a little bit clearer.
There's more information in MC-133559.
By the way, confirmed for 19w06a.
Confirmed for 19w09a.
Confirmed for 1.14 Pre-Release 2.
can confirm in 1.19.4
Happened to me with 1.20.4.
Intended, see MC-56687
