Done Passive Mobs Spawning

I have a area with grass as the ground thats lit up with the biome split between forest and plains but I just can't get passive mobs to spawn there.

 

• Make sure the chunks are loaded
• Add more grass blocks for them to spawn on (i.e. more space = higher percent chance)

It's kind of a tricky deal getting them to spawn as you only load the chunk you are standing in and they can't spawn in the chunk you are in; only neighboring chunks.

Get a chunk loader and place it in the area you want them to spawn in and then go work in a different area ^_^

*F9 will show chunk boundaries

 

I have tried this and still nothing is spawning

 

If anyone can help that'd be great because I need animals to spawn

 

Im on my way now

 

Any luck, the only passive mobs I can spawn is squid, I get those in the hundreds.

 

I cant get any to spawn apart from the fluid cows..

 

As far as I know Slind, On my island only fluid packs spawn, for some reason its not the same on Singleplayer. Not sure about your third question

 

I don't even get the cows, just lots of squid.

 

Is the area 20 blocks from your island
it needs to be that far to spawn mobs

 

I anyone getting passive mob spawns?
In single player, same setup generated many passive spawns,
No idea on other forge setup.

 

They don't spawn in oceans so that might help...

 

I paid to change it to one to forest, one to jungle, and one to tiaga none spawn. Profrags, you having luck spawning passive spawns?

 

I have gotten animals before and o think my friend made it something like plains.

 

I hade same problem but i got some spawn eggs from lucky blocks. I had a 4 chunk are grass land where i had chunk loader and payed to get 4 different biomes. I'm quesing that the problem is with changing the biome dose not change the friendly mob spawns becouse originally it wase ocean biome. For some reason i have only chikens spawning and that was in my hostile mob farm. I have desrtoyed it for now and the grass land i will try this thing once i find a original (biome that i have not changed) biome that friendly mobs spawn

 

You will not find on your island. On every chunk of your island, by default, is ocean.

 

i remember i had somthing in a corner but now i see that everything is ocean. but even if i rememberd rong there still is a broblem with the biomes and i noteace it on the 1 day i played when i dident wand rain becouse i dont like it i try changing the biome to taiga witch is a snowbiome but no snow still rained and water dose not turn into ice.

 

I checked my entire Reserved area, all Ocean except what I have changed. Seems changing the biome has no effect of spawns. Dud find floating island though.


is there a way to get a new skyblock home location?

looks like all arround my area is non-ocean. like the square for my skyblock was changed when it was created.

 

My experience with passive mobs on SF2.

9-chunk area covered in grass blocks and chunk loaded.
Plains biome.
2 months no spawn.
...
Created a powered chicken spawner.
Spawned some pigs via eggs and market-bought safari nets.
Still no naturally spawning passive mobs (~2.5 months in)
...
One day fluid cows showed up.
They lasted for about a week.
Then one day last week all passive mobs disappeared (including those placed via eggs/safari nets and powered spawner).
