[MCPE-79764] Spawning bug

Mobs hardly spawn on caves being in hard mode . Please make more mobs because otherwise it is very easy and it is boring that there are only 5 mobs in the caves it takes all the difficulty out of minecraft.
Look at my comment please
(i put a screenshot on comment)

This report does not contain enough information. What is you sim distance? How long have you spent caving & how far did you travel? Does this happen in any world, or have you just experienced it in one world?

This issue don’t happen while caving it happens while we are on caves (every caves) . I traveled few minutes and just 3 or 4 mobs spawn and then they not spawn anymore. This happen in any worlds . Please fixed it thank you . (And my sim distance is the most highest 10”)

Hello?

Do you have any mob contraptions within 200 or so blocks of where you were. Things like chicken cookers (with many chickens crammed in one spot), cow farms etc can all cause this issue.

Minecraft has a global loaded entity cap of 200 entities. Once this limit is reached no new mobs spawn.

This may also be exacerbated by MCPE-71684 in which there are claims Zombies aren't spawning in caves.

No i do not have a mob farm, the issue happens when i am on a world in hard and i go on caves there are few mobs and then they stop spawning i think you may review mob spawning and despawning on caves because i thing is not good at all (sorry for my bad english i hope it will be fixed thank you 😏)

Significant changes were made to despawning in 1.16.0.51 and 1.16.0.61 betas that should ensure you continue to see new mobs as you travel in caves. Can you confirm you are in the beta program? Could you attach a screenshot from your world?

rectification: the mobs appear continuously but not enough for hard mode, i think you should increase the number of mobs depending on the difficulty, so i think it woud add more logic to the game .Also mobs(in caves) seem to appear with more frequency in the day (it's a bug I think) and MCPE-71684 were right zombies don't appear

Is some of the area you are exploring a mushroom fields or snowy tundra biome? Monsters do not spawn in caves in those biomes (see MCPE-17651).

leo 2020-05-27T22:41:33Z

No is not that i was on taiga biome but the issue happens with each biome except the ones you just quoted i think you should put other spawn and despawn system on caves or (if is possible) copy the javas one 😊🤗

Maybe the issue is the mob density cap?

leo 2020-05-27T23:07:17Z

If that's what it is, they'd have to make the mobs on the surface stop spawning. So there will be more room for cave mobs to spawn🤔

Felipe Viana 2020-05-27T23:59:12Z

From the wiki: "The density cap is split up into two distinct categories: a cap for surface mobs, and a cap for cave mobs. Cave mobs do not count toward the surface mob cap, and surface mobs do not count toward the cave mob cap". Also, the monster density cap for cave in the overworld is only 8. It means that there can only be 8 monsters in a 9x9 chunk square region around the chunks that can spawn them. That's really low. So even with despawning rules being changed in the betas, we can't get a lot of mobs at once from normal spawning at all.

leo 2020-05-28T00:09:48Z

woow you know a lot, I hope they will do something for this issue because the caves are very boring, there are very few mobs being in hard mode and I also don't know why they don't copy the spawn and despawn from java.

Thank you for the additional information. It doesn’t sound like there is a new or existing bug being reported here, rather, it’s a request for a change in game mechanics. We only accept bug reports in the bug tracker. You can make feature requests at feedback.minecraft.net.
