I built an Enderman farm following the tutorial put out by a youtuber. Here is his video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRSY13xhI9s
My center block is 150 blocks away from the main end island, and my walkway is down at y=1. I have three spawn platforms, using snow blocks. The first spawning platform is about y= 44, and the third platform is about y=52 (give or take a block or two).
I built it recently under version 1.2.9, and it worked pretty well. Enderman spawned pretty quickly and fell down the chute, to a mob cap of about 9 or 10. As I killed them, more would fall down.
Now, since 1.2.10, none spawn and fall down while I'm on my user walkway. However, when I pillared up to verify my endermites were still alive, they began to spawn and fall down. It appears that I need to be closer to the spawning platforms now for endermen to spawn and fall into the trap. I can't be certain if they are spawning and just standing idle until I get close, or if they aren't spawning until I get close. They will spawn and fall into the trap to a cap of about 6 while I watch. Then I have to go down, kill them, and come back up before getting any more. This behavior is the same whether I'm at the 4 chunk, 6 chunk, or 10 chunk tick radius (I don't believe I've tried the 8).
I didn't see any other endermen farms when searching. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

This is due to this issue https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-30885 seems mobs are not spawning when below a certain Y level for some reason

Lenny, I think you're on to something there. I made a temporary platform so that I could stand at Y=30. The spawn rate sill didn't seem as good as 1.2.9, but the endermen were continually spawning, trying to attack the endermite and falling in the trap. I also stood at y=29 for a couple of minutes and no endermen fell down. Interesting that the spawning behavior changes with my character position.

I found a lagoon/lake around the corner from the village I setup shop in.
It was filled to the brim with Drowned and had killed loads before I though to screenshot
I couldn't check exactly how many but I'm hear for the same reason as the others. Hostile spawns in the area I am in are dire.
I cant remember the last time I saw an Enderman..Â
