Hello, i'm having an issue where my skeleton spawners (cords: 67,294. 114, -6098) stop working around 30-45 minutes after letting my mobfarm run, this is a skeleton spawner specific thing thats been happening, as all the other spawners around them keep working. I have no idea how to fix this other than reloading chunks (meaning removing players from the area that they can render the chunks for about 20 seconds), as once the spawners stop spawning skeletons they don't start again until i reload the chunks. as far as i'm aware its only my spawners that have been having this issue. I believe that this is a server side issue (as far as i can tell) and was just wondering if theres any possible fix for it? (ign: wotzwotz) (island where the issue is: SBGrinder) mat t Sprock Wilbos_World (wasn't sure exactly who could assist with this situation but the responses i've got from mods is to ask higher-up staff)
I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't be working unless maybe that they are positioned in a place outside of the 16 block radius that a player must be in, in order for the spawner to work? Technically, I think skeleton spawners, like most hostile mob spawners shouldn't require any special conditions to work but if it isn't working, all I can suggest you do is make sure that they are in the radius of which your afk-er is standing in. If not, I agree that this does seem like the server's problem and less of yours. I just suggest making sure that you are within that 16 block radius and see how that goes. If not, someone with a bit more knowledge on this may be able to help you out a bit more.
well thats what I initially thought, but there are spawners further than them that're still working, and i mean they do work for 30ish minutes before they just decide to quit on me haha, and if they're in the radius then, then I think that they should continue to work after 30-45 minutes, but thanks for the tip
mat t I don't know if matt might have some better insight onto this issue being a developer, i'd assume he might have a bit more knowledge about this stuff and could possibly determine if this is a server side issue or not. Being on right now, i've tagged him, he may or may not repsond. Sorry I couldn't be of better help!
heres a bit more information on my situation incase it'd be helpful to anyone who has any idea how to fix my situation; the farm is between 2 islands (so that I can have 96 spawners rather than 48) there is no issue with light i've broken and replaced the spawners multiple times seeing if that fixes it (that doesn't fix it, only leaving the chunks for 20 seconds does) idt theres an issue with there being too many mobs since i've broken all the other spawners at one point with only the skeleton ones and they still didn't spawn. (this is a low quality video of the issue)
did u check around sometime skele teleport and will stack somwehere and nely spawner skeletons will be addd to that stack
yeah idt its that, i spent some time looking, and as far as I can tell its clear, plus I think you see the mobs spawn for a second and then disappear but thanks for the suggestion
Hello! mod team, this issue is still occurring, i've asked a few more mods and it seems they don't understand whats up, maybe a person higher up can help?
Bump! hello, I am aware that I am ban, but I still have not received an answer from a higher up, would be much apricated if this could get some attention (the spawner issue)
