MCPE-16586Hostile Mobs Not Spawning Above A Certain Block Height
The frustrating problem i have encountered is the spawning algorithm set for hostile mobs. I just completed my first mob farm created after the Automatic Mob Farm Flush O' Matic by Snocrash. I created this farm in console edition and it works great. But the two serious problems i was faced with was build height and mobs not spawning. I built my farm over an ocean and to build height, which is only 64 blocks above sea level. But with everything complete mobs are not spawning in the spawn rooms at all. The light levels are 0-1, being impossible to see inside, and with a cealing height of 4 blocks there are still not a single mob spawning inside. The mobs seem to not spawn at a certian height. With the lowest spawn room at about 45 blocks and the top at about 60 blocks high. The ocean is very deep so caves underneath are minimal.

This would be the same bug as stated in
MCPE-12422This is a duplicate...
Obviously.. but its a major problem, and if there aren't enough votes in the other stated problem maybe since more people are posting the same problem they will see it as a problem needed to be resolved imediately. All the hundreds of others bugs are just noob bugs, but this bug is core to minecraft and farming. Only experienced players building automatic farms will come across this problem.
This perception is sad because it's true.
