Hi there ! I waited whole day to spawn anything in singleplayer skyblock ,but I can't. I waited 24 blocks from there and grass platform was bright (12-13). Anyone can help me ? I want to do this without cheats.
If there is ground below you it is likely they are spawning down there which makes it less likely that they will spawn on your platform.
make sure you have enough grass and light in the surrounding area. Mobs are hard to naturally spawn in Skyblock.
Natural mob spawning is disabled on this server. You will need a spawner, or a donor250+ to spawn mobs in. If you use a spawner, a 3x3 grass pad in light will spawn non-hostile animals while a regular spawner in the dark will spawn hostile mobs. Donor250's can spawn some non-hostile mobs, while donor400's can spawn a few more non-hostile mobs. Has your question been answered Wojciech
It's singleplayer... not the server Read a guide about mob spawning on a wiki or some sort or read the advice given here. Make sure you're not on peaceful for hostile mobs to spawn.
If it's an animal (other than a mooshroom or ocelot), then...1.the light level of the spawning block must be 9 or brighter 2.the block directly below the spawning block must be grass - This does not help me .
For single player, you gotta reload the chunks by going far enough away from your grassy plot that it disappears from view, and then coming back to it. As the game reloads the grassy chunks, there will be a chance to spawn mobs.
Try farming wood logs so you build with planks so you can get away from your grassy patch. Remember to put light where the grass is too. Passive animals need light level of at least 9 on top of the grass block to spawn.
Actually I have no real idea how your render distance would affect your game. Sorry. I played another skyblock server years ago. and it took me forever to spawn animals naturally, but it did happen. Good luck to you.
Make sure the platform is a big one filled with grass. Stay far way from it and in 1-3 Minecraft days you should get a Mob Spawned. P.S. To all who said to use a spawner or that can happen only with perks you need to read the whole thread again and understand that this is a Singleplayer Map
All in all: -platform must be big filled by every single block of grass, -platform must to be light 9 or above, -u need to do bridge to it, -you can use render distance, -platform must be between 40 and 60 y , -you need to use planks to build platform, -you need to travel on the bridge (the best is minecart option), -biome can't be desert, river,ice plains (I am not sure about ice plains). - you gotta do this platform very far away mob grinder. -if you load game several times there is a chance to spawn mob. Any sugesstions ?
The bridge doesn't have to be planks. It could be cobble or any material that is easy for you to gather.
