    By default, on both servers, mobs do not spawn. Although you can enable them to in island settings.

    Yes, if enabled in island settings. Although mob spawners bypass the island settings.

    Would you mind hoping online and checking out an issue?
    I have mobs enabled, but none are spawning... Do you have any idea?

    Well it’s getting on towards 1am here in Britain. If you can post screenshots here, I might be able to assess the situation and give assistance where needed.

    I spent a fair amount of time building this monster, before checking to see if it works... Welp

    I believe it's just a lighting glitch, but I'm unsure.

    Firstly, try not to double post- if caught too much, it can lead you to be punished. Anyways, I’m not really sure why it isn’t working but I had a similar issue myself on economy with mine. Firstly, can you make sure that mobs are ‘enabled’ in island settings please?

    Hmm, I’m definitely not sure then. Are there mobs spawning elsewhere on your island? If not, you can leave this thread open for the time being in case anyone else knows how to resolve this issue. In the mean time, I can recommend asking around in the in-game chat for advice. I would be happy to donate a mob spawner if my own if it cannot be resolved as I do not play on the economy server.

    Ok, Thanks for the help.
    I might have to take you up on that offer.

    No worries. Remind me tomorrow and I’ll take a closer look in person.

    Is the bottom of your mob spawner made from half slabs? It looks like it might be from the screenshot, but I can’t really tell.

    Mobs cannot spawn on half slabs occupying the top half of the block prior to 1.15. Considering the server is on 1.12, that potentially could be your problem.

    No, They're not Half Slabs.
    I Believe it might be a lighting glitch. I'll mess around with my settings later.

    There is a bug out there from patch 1.12.1 onwards that causes this lighting glitch and a rare lighting glitch recently showed up as well both on /economy. Thankfully there are a few ways to fix the glitch but no known fix for there rare glitch.

    The most common way to fix the glitch is to place half slabs on the top of your roof of your mob grinder making it 1.5 blocks. Other ways is to fill in the inside of your grinder with solid blocks then break them all. Yes this has been done to fix the glitch. But the Easyer method is the half slabs.
