when we reset the nether, please consider dropping a skele spawner in there.
spending hours for a couple skulls is a (BAN ME PLEASE).

not gonna happen unfortunately, your best bet is building one of xisumavoid's nether farms asap

megad0s quit skiing and make this ^^

 

[megados]

I will defenetly make this when we go to 1.5 but could someone help me find the spawn area? I know it's a bit trickier than other mobs.

 

[Lamitie11]

So I make a mob farm at Y=196 in an ocean so there would be no possible way for mobs to spawn elsewhere...
Nothing spawns. 9.9

3 hours wasted.

 

[UltiMario]

You sure there's no caves spawning mobs below it?

 

[megados]

I don't think mobs spawn after a specific height is reached, I know that they will not spawn at the sky limit but I'm not sure of the exact level that they stop spawning

 

[RotatingAtom]

Mobs only spawn 24 blocks or more away from a player. Get away from your platform when it's night and you'll see miracles happen.
That height thing was fixed in 1.2.5, mobs can now spawn on any block below y=254.

 

[megados]

I have still never seen a mob spawn anywhere over 200. That's just my experience

 

[Style_Dota]

They spawn in BBC

 

[Lamitie11]

Yeah I've done everything right but nothing spawns up there. I even got the LC (loaded chunks) to 255 but it still didn't help.

There's also a thing with mobcaps being shared by players. In short, if there's many people online and they're all in areas where they make a lot of mobs spawn and despawn around them, your system won't have amazing rates.
However, if a player is in an area that can't spawn any mobs at all, they'll effictively dump their mobs on everybody else.

do you have a source for this? i'm curious since i've never actually heard this in any minecraft video i've seen.

 

[Furosuto]

Does anybody know when the next patch will update? Just curious.

 

[a fairy]

mojang does

 

[SalTheThief]

please don't lie to him like that

 

[coolbiz]

I found a zombie spawner in the entrance of what I think is a dungeon, should I try to make some sort of farm or just get rid of it?

It's almost always wrong to destroy a spawner in my mind. If you don't want to make a grinder, light up the place so you or someone else can use it later. Grinders themselves are relatively easy to make (YouTube's your friend here) and are incredibly useful.

 

[megados]

How long can you play the free version? Making grinders can take a while so if the free version only lasts a week or so it's not worth it IMO. Are you enjoing the game so far?

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Spawning

In the mob spawning section (the "Notes" paragraph):

In multiplayer, mob caps are shared by all players, no matter where they are. If one player can make a lot of mobs spawn near them, say, with a mob farm, players elsewhere in the world will see fewer mobs of the same category. Likewise, if a player can prevent mobs from spawning near them, perhaps by hanging around a large body of water and illuminating nearby caves, they will effectively dump their mobs on everyone else.

This information is pretty old, things might have changed, but I doubt it since it's exactly what I observed when hunting for Wither Skellys.
Lots of people online = barely any mobs spawn in the fortress.

 

[a fairy]

atom that's weird because iirc nether spawns are separate from mainworld spawns...

It lasts forever, just no online play and I am enjoying the game much beside the fact that I cant find wool I guess. I should be getting premium soon, just got 40 bucks!

 

[megados]

Congratulations for being a good gamer and supporting the developers. If you need wool you can use 4 string in a square pattern to make a wool block

 

[coolbiz]

Do enderman attack in caves even if its daytime outside? I have full iron armor so I can take it on but I prefer not to, and its near like 4 spiders that I need to kill for string to make wool.

 

[Lamitie11]

If you look at an Endermang, they will attack you no matter the time of day, iirc.

Not in day time, they teleport away.
On another note, just found 5 DIAMONDS not even in cave or near lava, come at me bro.(In the pic you only see 4)

Hide

I suck at editing pictures so yeah

edit: Found 4 more diamonds(this time near lava so I died once but got some stuff back and hadn't mined the diamonds yet), brings me to 9, what should I do with them, go straight for a pickaxe? Or something else?
