Monsters not spawning fast or alot in mob farms

Hello,

I've built a mob grinder high in the sky on hard mode but only 8 mobs spawned in and stopped spawning and they don't spawn fast. I made this same mob grinder on the Xbox 360 and it worked great! tons of mobs spawn until it hits the mob limit and they spawn super fast.

As of right now the Xbox 360 works better for mob farms then PC Bedrock.

Here are some things you could do to fix this.

  • Monsters are able to spawn until there are 32 of them.

  • Monsters can spawn every 1-3 seconds and 1-6 mobs at a time.

  • Allow mobs to continue spawning in areas even if there are a lot of mobs near by where it wants to spawn.

  • Add settings where the player can choose how many mobs can spawn, and how fast they can spawn, etc.

make sure to increase your simulation distance mobs may be despawning instantly as they spawn

^^^
Also, make sure you are standing close enough so that the mobs have the optimal spawn range if possible.

my simulation distance is 12, I've also tried lowering it. I've tried being far, close, above them and changing difficulty but nothing really changes. Even if I'm able to make it 3x better it still wouldn't be as good as Xbox 360

i’ve heard that there are some issues with mob spawning the low spawn rates may be due to that

Also try adding trapdoors in between blocks maybe mobs arent pathfinding onto the water and despawning
