Done Can't seem to get my cursed earth to spawn mobs, despite other's help and their farms working.

It's completely sealed in and dark, light level 0 and I just can't figure out how to get it to work. Others have working cursed earth and have tried to help me, but it just isn't working. There are no other mobs on my whole island and no magnum torch thing blocking mobspawns. It is also a decent way away down the chunk and still no mobs spawn.

Any ideas to fix it would be appreciated.

 

You have mobs on that chunk?
AFAIK we have the mob limit per 3x3 chunk on 1.1o

 

When I went to check it out he literally only had 1 cow and 1 chicken on his entire island, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the mob limit.

 

Yep as chaos said, these are actually now lassoed and in storage, so literally no mobs on the island.

Still no mobs spawning in it as of right now, despite looking like it should spawn stuff.

 

May have something to do with the new sponge update.

Kind of resolved as I have moved the mobfarm several chunks away and it seems to work fine now, a little annoying as I would now have to load it properly.

 

I've got a 2x2 chunk main island, so it's now got a diagonal chunk gap from it so

OOOX
OOOO
XXOO
XXOO

it's now on the top right X, but before I was trying to build it below about 15 blocks on the top right chunk of my 2x2 base. I also built tried much further down almost y0 and standing away from the spawner before rebuilding it away from the base.

 

I understand the mechanic, but it didn't spawn anything at all despite me being the required blocks away for significant periods of time as I was afk trying to figure it out. The new spawner has no problem spawning loads of mobs despite me literally standing next to it to chunkload it and sort loot.

 

distance to player shouldn't make a difference with cursed earth, as the whole point of cursed earth is it doesn't care whether a player is nearby when it spawns stuff.. on my island I can literally be stood ON my cursed earth and it will spawn mobs right next to me.
