Mobs won't spawn

Tried again today.  Switched to Hard mode and I could get mobs to spawn, but switched back to normal and they stop spawning.

Thanks for your input. Even when I switch to hard it doesn’t work. Hopefully they fix the issue soon. On mine, the game will start spawning now but then stop and repeat the process. Hoping they fix the issue soon. Do you use bedrock or java?

I've had this happen as well in the last week. Seems to be intermittent however.

Mobs simply are not spawning as expected. Mob spawners still appear to work and generate hostile mobs, however in dark areas nothing occurs. Strangely, on occasion upon loading there will be a few of hostile mobs, but once those are dealt with nothing else appears.

I have gone some days like this, with no mobs to speak of. Sometimes there will be mobs as usual.

Tonight I had a strange one. Was caving for a couple of hours without any mobs appearing at all, except at the site of one spider spawner that had a handful of spider around it and a singluar skeleton. Later, having gone AFK within a village (about 20 minutes) surrounded by walls I heard zombies. Going outside it was populated as expected with hostile mobs and they continued to spawn as usual. Spawned as usual on reload.

Same issue here MOBS NOT SPAWNING in caves and spawn rates for mobs very low on surface. Tested on 2 newly created survival worlds, after nether update,  one set to hard and the other normal...there was no difference. Version 1.16.10 ( latest update ) platform IOS. using IPad Pro.

I am having this same issue. I can't find any hostile mobs naturally. I can only find them in the nether, rarely, or near mob spawners. I cant find creepers, skeletons, spiders, zombies, slimes, or witches. They just don't spawn in my world. I have stood completely still at night and in caves and not a single mob spawns. This is really unfortunate, as I can't get gunpowder or find zombies to change villagers. I need this fixed for my world to continue.

I am having this issue on PC.

Is this still an issue in the latest version?

Spawn ranges have been expand for simulation distances 6 and up in 1.16.100. Has that improved your experience?

There is also a global cap of 200 mobs that will cause environmental spawns, but not spawners or breeding, to stop. Sometimes players exceed that by accident with automatic chicken hatchers. Would that explain
your situation?
