Confirmed that there is some flakiness with mob spawning. Several times I witnessed all mob spawning cease (animals, hostile mobs, even squid) while experimenting with a passive mob farm. I've never been able to intentionally reproduce the behavior, however.
I have to ask:
1. What gamemode have you been on? Survival, spectator?
2. If cheats are enabled, what happens when you type:
3. Have you typed
or something similar before?
For me, I was experimenting in a survival world that had been opened to LAN with cheats enabled. Alternating between creative and spectator. When I used "/say @e", it reported a few item-holding zombies and some minecarts, I don't remember anything else, except maybe some items on the ground. I hadn't command-killed anything. I had just sword-killed some passive-mob spawns, and was flying around near the build limit and back down. After a while with no more passive-mob spawns, I realized that nothing was spawning, then started checking for entities with commands. This happened three or four times while I was experimenting. I non-methodically tried several things to restore the spawning, and eventually it would start again. I could never identify the criteria to reproduce the spawn-ceasing behavior or the spawn-restoring behavior, though.
okay i tried the commands through LAN and cheats enabled and it kills basically every NONE hostile mob so like sheep, horses ect just all the hostile mobs are not around so im not too sure
im playing on survival on "normal" difficulty.
@Nathan Ryan, when you play on spectator, mobs are not spawning, even from spawners. Its intended. /say @e tells that there were some mobs. You can find them by typing:
You should be teleported to zombie.
@Michał Oh, yes, I understand that mobs don't spawn in spectator mode. I was mostly using spectator mode to phase through the walls of the farm, in order to check redstone and such. But I most definitely was in creative mode (even toggling between creative and survival) during the times when I noticed mobs weren't spawning.
A similar issue was fixed recently. Is this still an issue in 15w45a? If so, please explain the issue in detail and provide steps to reproduce it. Please also update the list of affected versions.
Can this be reproduced on a new world?
I haven't experienced it since earlier than 15w44a (don't remember the precise snapshot), but I was never able to determine the criteria to reproduce it anyway. Very intermittent, only saw it a few times during long periods of experimentation. If I ever encounter this issue again, I'll be sure to cause a debug crash.
Resolving as cannot reproduce.
