I just upgraded my donor package and i got a mob spawner. i placed it but its not spawning any mobs (i just want cows for now) do i need to place it below a certain layer? how long dos it take to spawn things? if it dosent work whats the point of having it?
u need to have grass around it for animals to spawn, and it only spawns things if your'e close enough to the spawner
passive mobs (cows sheep e.c.t ) Mob Cap of 15 passive creatures in a 17x17 area (unlimited height... not quite a chunk but slightly larger) Blocks they spawn on must be grass blocks, with light level 9 or higher (fully open to the sky is fine, or lit with torches/glowstone/jack o'lanterns should work too) With multiple eligible blocks, the "highest" block in a column of blocks gets preference for spawning No player can be within 24 blocks of the block Passive mobs only spawn every 20 seconds (or an attempt happens about every 20 seconds) Can't be a desert, beach, river, and ocean biomes Must have at least two air blocks above grass blocks Be in the overworld (where you start to play vanilla Minecraft) monsters (zombies , creepers, e.c.t ) Mobs cannot spawn on water, half blocks or blocks of glass. Avoid these materials for creating traps. They also won't spawn when the light level is above 14 i.e. a torch has a light level of 7 so mobs won't spawn near them. Mobs cannot spawn in a 24 square radius to the player hope this helps
