Hey, Im sure plenty of other have noticed that suddenly mobs have been spawning like crazy. Even when they shouldnt. Like at the bottom of [lift] signs in my WELL lit house. I also went to the nether recently to try and find some glowstone. Not 100 blocks from spawn I am attacked by 8+ (I counted 8 ) ghasts... Thats CRAZY! I understand a challenge is nice and all, but isn't that why we play on hard mode? Another example would be a recent mining trip (a few actually). I cannot mine caves now. Yes I actually found a cave that was untouched. I look down a deeper part, there are 7 zombies! As I am watching, 4 creepers spawn in a group. I wall that area up and look down the other way, about 3 spiders at the bottom of a 8ish block drop. Now as I am looking down, a skeleton spawns a few blocks away from me. (I am in a well lit area, about 9 torches in a room the size of 5x5) and this skeleton shoots me off the edge. Now I get a great view of about 15 spiders, skeletons, creepers. you name it. I suggest that either the mob difficulty be lowered, or the spawn rate be dropped considerably. My room sounds like a mob petting zoo. sounds of growls and bones from the walls. (Yes, I lit the caves up with torches) Anyone else feel this way? Also, please note that I, as well as others, play on a comp that is really slow. Like 4-12 fps slow....
If possible maybe on the main worlds, but not mining. In the new site for PS i fought off 4 skels and a zombie, all in about a 2 chunk area. Also there is one spot fences in and not well lit where 3 zombies spawned, that is is one chunk. Also, in mining i thought there was a skele spawner somewhere because of the hords of them.
I agree and its only been recently at WR i literally saw 4 creapers 6 zombies and 2 skeletons (and 2 endermen but way off in the distance) its next to impossible to build with creapers blowing me up every five seconds the problem is I can't see any way of removing them without world edit (the spawners i mean) them randomly spawning I have to say is a minecraft glitch I might create a singleplayer and look for mobs to see if its a minecraft problem or a server problem
I have noticed it too. Today at the monstamash, there was 4 of us that went in and could barely make it out of the entry building. there was easily 200+ mobs in there. On the bright side, i went from level 23 to level 28 in just over a minute, so it isn't all bad.
It isn't a problem if the intent is to kill mobs. The issue is that they are interfering with the tasks a player may need to do. Subway, what is the point of surviving and having no fun? I play on peaceful because I don't want to worry about dying... I don't want to have to wear full diamond and have an uber sword just to walk to my farm. Also an issue that I keep having, is that when I die, my stuff despawns... the other day, I made a fresh diamond pickaxe and axe. I use my lift to go to my room. I arrive on other side, I am cornered by 3 zombies. I come back, everything is gone, the zombies are glitched. Nobody could have taken it as it is in my bunker at like layer 20. If the difficulty was lower, I could have killed the zombies, because they would not have killed me instantly. OR if they did not spawn at all(again, this room was very well lit) then there would not have been an issue.
my only complaint is mining. i went to a fresh cave, and there were 5 creepers, 4+skeletons, a lot+ of zombies, and two slimes. i died twice, and went back to get my stuff *two stacks of iron and my pick* when i tried to mine the many ores, i just couldnt. they spawned at least as fast as i could kill them.
Well I'm glad I am not the only one noticing the mob issues! XD I wonder if it is a glitch, or if Max has a plugin for it.
Exactly!! @Ninja. Well can it be set so they spawn farther? Or possibly only certain worlds are like that? It isn't fun when mobs are this deadly and this dense. To me at least. And the others who commented
There are definitely WAY more mobs spawning since the update a few days back. Not sure what was updated but ever since the spawn rate has more than tripled. I am working on a huge project out in the middle of nowhere and literally went from seeing 20-40 mobs at a time in my field to Hundreds and hundreds!! Something got changed when the update hit and not just spawn distance.
It's not that big of an issue. I quite enjoy mobs it provides a better challenger then your 1 zombie. A couple extra creepers and zombies so what? Bring it on!
Again, if killing mobs is what you love about Minecraft, one may feel this way. When a player is trying to do other things, they get extreamly annoying.
just do things inside at night or log off at night or if there are few people on ask for them to sleep.
I agree it's getting harder to do the daily survival task like for instance in the new location for PS I was delivering resources to k9katz when I was attacked my to many mobs to count and went back to retrieve my stuff but the area was infested and once I got my stuff a creeper blew up and I lost everything...So what I'm asking is a slight!!! Change in mob spawning in the main world.. It's fun only if you are killing them for fun not if you need to do another task...
