wither skeletons, blazes, magma cubes, and zombie pigmen won't respawn in nether fortresses.

Possibly relates to MCPE-21856.

Have you tried toggling the difficulty to see if that enables spawning again?

I do experience the same problem in the end (Save to say everywhere), rarely you meet up with an enderman. Took a picture to show you how it looks; Usually the farm is filled with aprox. 11-15 enderman.

In the image [Broken_Ender_Farm] you'll see that there is NONE, nor are there any in the middle, where you spawn while entering / leaving the end.

Changing difficulties didn't work. If someone has any other ideas, please let us know 😃

using /difficulty
other than that the only idea I have atm is going into the level.dat file and changing difficulties that way

Happened to me too. Started a world on Java 1.14 and updated to 1.14.3. I believe the chunk the fortress is in generated in 1.14.3 but I’m not sure. I never got any spawns even after toggling the difficulty but the /summon command still works and the mobs don’t despawn. There are also no spawners in the fortress but that could just be seed related. I am running Optifine with shaders but no mods.
