I played on Normal difficulty in both the Java and Bedrock versions, and compared to the Java version of Minecraft, hostile mobs spawn much more frequently and in larger crowds. And you just can't keep up with them. In Java, at night I encounter one or two creepers next to each other, but in the Bedrock version, I encounter 3-4 creepers at once, and I'm lucky if there aren't 3 zombies or 3 skeletons as well.
I would like there to be fewer hostile mobs spawning, or at least not in such large crowds.
