General mob spawning (passive and aggressive mobs) has drastically reduced.
while unsuccessfully looking for endermen in overworld noticed other mobs were not spawning as usual (prior to update). I ended up purchasing ender pearls to open end portal.
Once in the end I spent about an hour running around and only found 4 endermen.

this appears to be a mob cap issue, killed off chicken farm and mobs started spawning again. it appears that my base which has farms & trading hall takes up the entire mob cap. (it did not prior to this release).
Note: I do not consider this base to be huge and it is not laggy at all even on kids ipads with 5 players in world)
so when anyone is at the base we can go anywhere in the world, nether and the with no spawns appearing.
