just wondering i recently created a mob grinder a grinder that does not have any spawners and usually does not need any spawners as the mobs that drop down are natural usually there are heaps. has there been a change in the mobs in any way? there are absolutley no mobs spawning

 

Natural Mob spawning is disabled. You can buy a spawner they run for about 2-3 diamonds. If you're a donor or not, but donor 25 and up can change spawner types. Have I answered your question?

 

I'm fairly sure natural mob spawning isn't disabled, mobs spawn occasionally on my island and I have no spawners. Mobs do spawn really rarely though, why is this? I'm just curious x

 

No it is disabled, and are you sure you don't have a spawner?

 

yes it isnt disabled but it is put really low is what i think, and really.. i think it should be put back to normal

 

its not disabled.. 100% because a zombie spawned, no one can change spawner to zombie but mods im guessing

 

This is on .Org were talking about by the way, in case it's disabled on .Net that would explain confusion x

 

My apology I will let an org mod take this. x3

 

Ehe Dew x

 

I suggest you put something like [.ORG] in your title. Kinda confusing.

 

The mob spawning is a lot less frequent then it would be on say a single player world. I've actually heard different reasons for why this is though.

One explanation I've heard is that mobs spawn less naturally, because there's so many spawners in the world, spitting out mobs, that it eats up the spawn rate, so natural ones just don't occur as often.

It could also be something changed in the settings, I'm just not sure about that. If it was something in the settings I would say that it has to do with trying to keep the economy balanced. Keeping spawners in demand and making the dropped loot still a desired thing. Also to make it easier on new members just starting their island, so they don't get murdered every time they log in. XD

Anyway, the larger your island is and the less spawners you have around does seem to help your spawn rates. Also, it seems to be a bit random. When I say that natural spawns are rare, some people agree and some people are quick to say that they get tons of mobs spawning on their island every day. So... I guess it just depends.

 

thanks very much you pretty much answered my question

 

Good. Alright, so I'm going to lock and archive this now.
