I started a new world to explore the nether and my friends and I have all built up our bases. Last version of the game, we all lived in one base, but it was lit up even less adequately than our new ones are. We are all getting Creepers (which blow our chests up all too often 😞), Enderman, Skeletons and Spiders spawning in our bases. I have seen them spawn within like 3 blocks of torches and lanterns. We've all tried spawn proofing by putting down a ridiculous amount of light but it is all to no avail.

Please provide a screenshot of the area where monsters are spawning unexpectedly. This ticket will be resolved "awaiting response" until updated. Also please note the following:
In previous versions of Minecraft, it was common for the cave monster cap to be filled by monsters hidden in small, inaccessible caves. The chance of this happening would increase as you spent time in an area, for example building a base or exploring and lighting the visible caves. With the new despawning system in 1.16, the hidden monsters are now able to despawn regularly, so new ones can spawn in other places. Monsters should now regularly respawn on full blocks in places you have already visited but have not fully lit.
Keep in mind that torches have a light level of 14, monsters spawn in in light level 7 and below, and spawning is based on the light level of the space just above the floor. You may find it helpful to temporarily turn off smooth lighting (in video settings) to see how the light levels change block by block. For more information on calculating light levels see the Minecraft wiki.
does your base have any holes? if yes, they might be walking in
