I was working on an adventure map i'm making when i ran into a bug. The bug is that spawner minecarts don't spawn anything when the difficulty is above easy, but if you set your difficulty to peaceful then you can see the mob quickly before it disappears.
Info about the mob i was trying to spawn:
I was trying to spawn a skeleton with some potion effects and some enchanted armor and weapons.
Info about the spawner settings
Min Delay = 1
Max Delay = 1
Current Delay = 5
Spawn Count = 1
Entity Cap = 1
Detection Range = 50
Spawn Radius = 50

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
No answer, assuming no longer an issue.
As I've said to the mods on the Minecraft forums, my boss mob is working perfectly. Unmentioned to them, the boss mob spawn system is based on a spawner minecart. So, no, I cannot confirm this bug.
If I'm not mistaken, the delay needs to be between the max delay and min delay, so you need to set the max delay to 6 and the min to maybe 4 or 5, just to be safe.
