This update can't get here fast enough. I just had another very large village (golem included) instantly become a ghost town. This and the mob farm spawn problem are hurting me in early game. Anyone heard a release date on 0.14?
I thought about that, and I stood halfway for a game day and checked again. I think one spider had spawned.
I built another mob farm this weekend to test the horizontal distance theory. The it's just like my other one... a 30x30x3 room with 6x6 spawning pads and water channels in between. The difference is, instead of being 24 blocks directly below my house, this one is only about 10 blocks deep but is centered horizontally about 55 blocks away. I'm still seeing zero spawn (except for bats) in this room.
On the bright side, my build for a horizontal transport system was very successful. Or at least, it worked on me and a chicken that had fallen into my room.
Actually, what I had in mind is transporting the mobs horizontally, then up into a kill device in my house, which I think I know how to do. However, your point number three would kinda kill my system.
Yes, this is definitely a horrible bug. I had been thinking my villagers were falling prey to zombies, so my last world I started, I blocked two up in their house, just in case everyone else got wiped out, they could repopulate. I went to check on them several game days later, and they're gone. House was still blocked up.
Yet another question... Do NPC's affect spawn? That makes a difference as to whether I build this horizontally displaced spawn room toward the nearby village, which could help reduce the zombie spawn near the village. Or if I should build it away from the village, so the villagers don't prevent mob spawn by being too close to it.
The other question is if the PE has the forty block minimum horizontal spawn radius, what is the radius where they start having a chance to despawn?
This would make sense, if that's the case. I'm hoping Mojang will weigh in here and confirm or deny. I'm thinking as a test, I can rebuild my spawn room about five or ten blocks deep, but centered sixty horizontal blocks away from my house. I'd need to have the center of the spawn room drop onto a water conveyer tunnel that moves them to the water elevator under my house. Think that would work? Might be a good weekend project.
I've had three villages' populations despawn.
Yep, Outdated AMD Graphics! Thank you @Sonic, I checked for updates, and it said I was already fully updated, but it looks like it was wrong. Everything appears to be rendering now.
Attached. Thank you.
It says that this was fixed many versions ago. This is a new bug in 1.8.3 though?
Still present on Xbox One TU 31
