My son and I play together on our Xbox 1S using his world. I join as a secondary. Mob spawning of both animals and hostile mobs rarely occurs. When it does, it comes in batches. We have checked our settings and they are correct. The lack of mobs occurs even when we are far from our bases (over 1000 blocks) where there are no farm animals at all. We both have modest farms at our bases. Dark caves and open areas at night generate no mobs at all. Gets rather uninteresting in our survival world. Again, occurs even when far from our farms. Any suggestions or fixes would be most appreciated.
We had it on "easy" survival. Originally, there were huge numbers of mobs - both peaceful (horses, cattle, etc) and hostiles. Then it just stopped. We tried putting it on "normal" survival and it didn't help. We thought our farms might be saturating the mob count so we killed animals - didn't work. We wandered several hundred blocks from our bases and still no mobs. On occasion, we will get a few for a while (including hostiles) but most of the time nothing. My son built a mob generator (using a dark space and water) and it will rarely get anything. We have both played for years so we know something is abnormal. Isn't our first rodeo.

Similar problem. Normally play in peaceful mode but switch to normal or hard when farming creepers and or golems. Farms have worked amazing until recently. Even if I go and return through a nether portal, creepers & golems are not spawning.
