@nanainanashi correct, same thought crossed my mind. That's why I’m not going to play until it’s fixed. It's hard to believe that kind of bug even made it through to the final product, I mean Mojang test their game before release, don't they?
@Vikonchiik I’ve attached a world with a simulated surface light level of 6 where this bug should happen nearly immediately. I’ve also attached a short clip of a few spawns happening in that world.
This issue is still happening as of March 30th 2026 on bedrock. My base is fully lit up and has a wall surrounding it and Lance zombies are still spawning almost every night. I am playing hardcore and I've almost lost my world multiple times due to this glitch. There are no other mobs that spawn only the zombie horse rider.
Issue Still happening. I suppose if it doesn’t get fixed we’ll just have to not make our bases in a plains biome.
Zombie horse riders are spawning in my plains biome base. It is fully lit, fully fenced in and this is happening on a near nightly basis. Villagers in a trading hall are murdered or zombified. I have no choice but to sleep during nighttime to avoid the chance of a wayward spawn. Version 26.13. Please fix.
Confirm (PS5). Same goes for the zombie horse raider, spawns at my bright-as-sun plains base
