I'd like to enjoy the new nether update, but there's too many mobs. I understand it's supposed to be a dangerous, dark, gritty place and I love that, but it's no fun when you're constantly bombarded on all sides by ghast, skeletons, slime, endermen, etc. I literally kill 1 ghast and watch 2 to 4 take its place. I was stuck in one place for almost an hour killing mobs and didn't even progress more than 10 blocks. Bottom line, TONE IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT PLEASE!

This is because they added proper despawning allowing more mobs to spawn this has been like this on java for a while

I have the same problem on my switch version:
Before Nehter update: 1 oder 2 wither skeleton troops spawn in 5 minutes
Now: I kill one wither skeleton, 1 troop spawns behind me.
My Nether fortress is completely filled with skeletons and blazes, even the roof is full of them. I can add Screenshots later.
