Mobs not spawning in the overworld

I have the exact same problem on my pc (Windows 10). In almost all of my survivals. When I stay somewhere for around 30 min. nothing spawns anymore. No creepers, skeletons, spiders,... And also no Fish, chickens, pigs, horses, sheep, cows,... Just nothing. Literally nothing. An empty world. I don't even call this a survival anymore. It really needs to be fixed because what is minecraft without mobs? Please fix this!!

Could you provide a copy of the world where this is happening?

How would we do that?

Oh sorry, I’m not sure if you can from X Box One. Windows 10 has an export function and on devices where you can view the file folders you can copy the folder for the particular world.

You can use a file sharing site like onedrive or google drive.

Here is a link to a copy of one of the worlds where I experience this problem: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjVL668biLGSgoFmzU1-drheP_txgg?e=8t5e8x

Can you let me know if the link works?

Sometimes when I open the world or travel a little amount of mobs spawn. But this is very rare. Once you stay on a place for a while you will notice nothing will spawn anymore.

@Erin I messaged you through XBoxLive

@Luca Perrone:
I was following up this ticket based on the affectVersion indicating it is an issue in the current beta version. Your world has not been played in the beta, so it isn't relevant to this ticket. However, it's clear what your problem is. The game has a global mob cap of 200 mobs, which means that if 200 mobs are loaded in simulated chunks then no natural spawning will occur. Nothing is spawning around your base because you have over 400 chickens in the area. Most of these are concentrated in the 2 auto-hatching machines you've made, each of which have about 200 chickens in them. I suggest you set up a system with a small number of egg-layers, and either have an auto-kill mechanism or a shut-off mechanism to keep the number of hatched chickens lower.

I am having this report set to "Awaiting Response" based on not having enough information to tell what is going on in the OP's world. The report will automatically reopen when it is updated. If the issue is massive animal farms blocking other spawns, like Luca Perrone's, then there is no need to respond as this is not a bug. Please only comment if you have additional information to indicate a bug is occurring.

My problem was too many chickens. Mobs are spawning now.
