So my friend and I were playing on the agrarian skies server and were excited that we finally set up a mob dropper. It worked very well until we got on the next day and noticed that it had gone completely dry. We hadn't touched it at all. Since then we have tried moving the entire thing to a new location, replacing the platforms with cursed earth, lowering the height of it, increasing the size of the spawn platforms, anything we could think of. The cursed earth did get mobs to spawn, but very few, around 1 or 2 per minute. However, I have been talking with others on the server and many other people have mob droppers that look just like mine but work perfectly. Also, mobs still spawn on my island normally, just not in the dropper. I submitted a support ticket on this subject but the person that 'helped' me just attributed it to a server mob cap of 30 and blamed it on my very small group of passive animals that i got through spawn eggs and promptly closed the ticket. I know that the animals aren't the problem because a fellow player has around 20 to 30 passive mobs on his island and his dropper still has many mobs in it. Help would be greatly appreciated as i'm not willing to restart because I have already put many hours into this island with a friend. I can upload screenshots upon request. Thank you in advance!
Hi RutherfordBHaye5, Thank you for submitting a support thread. I'm sorry to hear that you do not feel completely aided in this issue. Since I have provided all the input I could think of, I will go ahead and bump this ticket to a higher staff. Hopefully our @Senior Moderator can give an angle that I may have forgotten. I hope you get this figured out and once again I'm sorry you are not satisfied with the answer from your ticket. Best Regards, Tipsied
As far as I remember there is a bug which causes specific chunks to no longer spawn mobs in. Unfortunately we don't have a solution for that.
Thank you!! Okay! So I just set it up in 2 unlucky chunks? I suppose I'll try moving it again. Thanks for the input!
I think so, I tried to spawn mobs with a spawn egg and it didn't work in the area of your spawn tower while it worked in a different part of your island.
Okay, so I moved the dropper pretty far from where i was and it seems to be working properly now! However, it may still break as the first one i made also worked at first. I want to give it a few days before I call this solved. Thank you both!
