Hi. Im having problem with finding mobs generally in overworld and farmworld at night. Specially in the Darklands biome. I cant find a single absyssalcraft mob for instance. Is there a bug with this?
It's a known issue with the way mobs spawn. Unfortunately there's no fix for it. There are mob spawners in the world for these mobs.
They're randomly in the farmworld. Cilo used to have one claimed so they do exist, but alas she hasn't been playing there.. I'll ping her anyway for you in case I'm wrong about that @_Cilo_
The one thing I could do in single-player to reliably get mobs to spawn was to turn my render distance down to 8 or so. Then the mobs would spawn until I turned it up again. Doesn't seem to work in multi-player, sadly So far in a darklands forest I managed to find only two shadow creatures and get 4 shadow fragments The forest was hard to navigate, but I have found a plain (and a village!). Hopefully I can see the shadow critters from farther away now
Both mob drop kits had shadow gems added to them on release when we realized it was an issue, so it may not be perfect it is an added option to finding those tough drops.
I managed to find a shadow creature spawner. Got myself a goodly number of shards. I had not realized that mob kits had the gem. I have yet to claim one due to the fear that so much of those drops would be 'unfamilliar'
