    Hello
    I´ve got a big problem. No mobs appear on my island. 2017-02-16_13.05.34.
    This is a picture of my mobfarm.
    I built it 1 day ago and since that is not a single mob appears.
    I havent go any Mega torch or something like this on my island.

    Thanks for help.

    This could be a similar issue to what I'm having right now, except I also have cursed earth in the farm so even more should spawn

    Most likely a mob limit issue probably. The limit is about 15 mobs (hostile or passive) in a 3x3 chunk area at a time, if I remember correctly.


    Edit: May have something to do with this also.

    So this is what I have determined with Cursed Earth in Skyfactory 3: It requires absolute darkness, you used to be able to just keep it at "dark enough to spawn mobs level" and it would go crazy, not anymore. Secondly it does not work nearly as fast as it did in 1.7.10, I've tested this in single player as well as multiplayer and found it is rather slow to react in comparison to the older style.

    Now from casual observation it also appears that we hit the cap for mobs a lot faster on the 1.10 packs, I've not checked the hard numbers, but it "feels" that way. Similar too the launch of SF 2.5 and PO2 when they launched and player population was high mob spawning seemed on the lower side.

    Does it behave the same in single player (requiring absolute darkness)?

    Yes, I sat there scratching my head for awhile in a single player wondering why despite having red Xs everywhere it wouldn't spawn mobs, it wasn't until I closed off the room I was using did mobs show up to kill me. I need to do some more testing, but it does appear cursed earth has been changed quite a bit from it's former glory.

    It also no longer catches fire when exposed to daylight, and will happily spread even in the highest of sunlight.[DOUBLEPOST=1487362990][/DOUBLEPOST]As you can see here, it is day time and the cursed earth not only isn't burning it has spread to the surrounding grass.


    Evidently mobs will spawn in partial light if it is night time, but I also had normal mobs spawn on a section of cursed earth in addition to the dark cursed earth mobs, so there maybe limits to spawning behavior with even cursed earth. I'll dig deeper into this as there is no actual configuration for cursed earth itself other than allowing or disallowing it.

    Exact same solution for me, I moved my farm from my other thread that wasn't working 2 chunks away and magically it works despite being the same design. Idk why it wouldn't work in my base rather than a far separate island.

    How close to your main play location was it before?
    Minecraft doesn't spawn any mobs near players.
