I created a large stone spawning platform at y=253 in the nether. Pigmen will spawn when i arrive at the platform, and then no pigmen will spawn while i stand on it, despite it being 32x32.
I downloaded the world and played it in singleplayer (java edition) and had no issues with pigmen spawning on the platform while I am there.
I am the only person on the realm, and there are low entity counts and no close (<128) spawnable areas.
Maybe it's a render distance thing? Here are screenshots from the realm and from the downloaded identical singleplayer world.

The same issue is happening for me on Realms in version 1.13.1. If I get a download of the world the spawn rates are normal.
Same on 1.13.1 Realm on Easy.
I aggro the pigmen, they come after me and are killed, then no other pigmen spawn until i move around the area. It's an XP farm, that I'm supposed to stand in the middle of, but they simply do no spawn after 30 secs.
PC Java player here.
I first became aware of this issue when I was watching Ilmango's gold farm tutorial. Some dudes in the comments section were saying that the pigmen would stop spawning after a short while, and they would have to travel a good distance away from the farm and then return to it for the pigmen to spawn again for a short while.
I'd really like to build a gold farm and a proper mob farm, but I'm hesitant to waste my time if it isn't going to work. You guys get it; you're in the same boat.
The slime farm and iron farm I built both work perfectly. The entities spawn normally with no seemingly abnormal lapses between spawns. I mention this because it baffles me a bit that certain mobs are spawning normally, while others aren't.Â
Figured I'd chime in and add to the discussion so we can get something done about this. If enough people are vocal about this issue, we have a better shot at it getting fixed sooner rather than later. As I'm sure many of you have, I've played on both dedicated servers and also on Realms. In my honest opinion, Realms is hands down a better option for me personally. I don't want the hassle of dealing with a server. Realms is lag free and simple to use. It would be great for this issue to be resolved asap!
same issue on our realm, even build a slime sweeper to see if that solved the issue but no spawn's on that either, it was mean't to be a ghast farm but even ghast's will stop spawning after 30 seconds. but if u move a bit on the farm they spawn normally
I can confirm that this issue still persists even after optimizing the world. It might also affect drowned too, but I'm not sure if they're just supposed to be uncommon occurrences. Hopefully Mojang takes notice soon
This is affecting almost everything in my 1.13.2 realm. ZERO drowned, and as of today ZERO anything. Tried restarting the server, setting the difficulty, nothing is working at this point.
Since 1.14.4 update, not seeing mobs spawning naturally. Slime stopped spawning. I'm working in a mineshaft for days and not seeing anything spawning.

Having the same issue with realms. I was hoping 1.13.1 was going to fix it but nope 😞.
