This bug is still affecting alpha 0.17.0.2
...doubting Mojang at this point...

It really doesnt prove anything, besides its really not working the way its supposed to. Ive built the exact same farm on another platform in the same exact conditions (over an ocean/light up surrounding areas) and the farm worked great. But the farm on PE will not spawn any mobs at all. And there should be no reason to have to find a perfect horizontal level to the farm, perfectly 24-36 blocks away just to get the farm to work, especially if all land and caves around is lit up for no spawns to occur. It should bot be this hard to get a mob to spawn in a 6×6×4 area that has a light level lower than 2. And it should not be only 6 mobs in that big of an area.. if your farm is centralizing spawns all inside the farm and none outside, it should technechally be trying to put the max number of hostile mobs to spawn all within the farm. And i can gurantee you the max number of hostile mobs spawned in a world at one time is more than 6-15. It seems my skeleton spawner farm will spawn enough skelotons to lag out minecraft.

Obviously.. but its a major problem, and if there aren't enough votes in the other stated problem maybe since more people are posting the same problem they will see it as a problem needed to be resolved imediately. All the hundreds of others bugs are just noob bugs, but this bug is core to minecraft and farming. Only experienced players building automatic farms will come across this problem.

This would be the same bug as stated in MCPE-12422

I totally agree with you on this James M, i see this as a major problem due to the fact that minecraft primary functions are to farm passive and hostile mobs. I really hope this issue gets fixed soon as it is a really bad bug. I have tried contacting Mojang and the support team to make them aware of this problem so it can be fixed imediately.

0.15.6 on Samsung Galaxy Note 5 comfirmed not working

I have just came across this same problem as i just completed my first mob farm in PE and it is not functional due to the fact that no hostile mobs will spawn in the farm. Very frustrating and i hope this gets fixed.

I have found this same problem as i built a mob farm over an ocean to build height with no spawns at all, this needs to be resolved immediately.

I had this same issue happen to me in single player as i was exploring my world on a horse the game suddenly crashed. When i loaded back up the horse i was riding, with its saddle was gone.
