MCPE-38717andMCPE-38786.Windows 10 PC V. 1803 Build 17134.345 Bedrock V. 1.8.0.13 Beta Seed: Coastal Village (-1813740965); Survival Mode; Normal Difficulty; Infinite Size; world created after Beta v 1.5.0.
None of my mob dungeon spawners, located in caves, mineshafts, and stronghold, are working which includes zombie, spider, cave spider, and skeleton (see the following screenshots).shows drowned still spawn;
shows zombie spawner dungeon;
shows zombie dungeon grinder;
shows no zombies, drowned, or villagers.
A few Mobs spawn at night which is a whole other issue (MCPE-21856).
The problem first occurred on Bedrock V. 1.8.0.13 Beta. All was well in V. 1.8.0.11 Beta. It maybe the fix for "Empty monster spawners no longer show fire particles" broke mob spawners. This is a real problem because the spawners were my source for arrows and drowned zombies.

Does this only affect mob spawners? Were the spawners working ok in the previous beta (1.8.0.11)?
same happening to me - skeleton and zombie spawners. all other spawning working as before, and mob spawners worked in previous beta (windows 10)
Mob spawners were working fine in the last beta. Only naturally spawners are affected. If you spawn a mob spawner in creative they work fine (with hostile mobs).
Same here. I updated mc recently and mobs will not spawn in. I've tested it in other worlds and have the same result. I cant play without my xp farms! Please fix this quickly.
My skeletons wont spawn in and i have no torches lit.
This bug needs to be fixed fast!
Please fix y’all trash ahh mob spawns
Me too I have the same problem :'( Oniy affects skeleton natural spawners.
Same issue on Xbox one 1.8.0.13 tried to report but won’t let me put 1.8.0.13 as a build.
all spawners affected in survival
Seed 1330559361
skeleton spawner: -190,58?,199
spider spawner: -65,56,199
Same issue on XBOX ONE EDITION - built large, dark room, height of 5, with spawning pads, at y-151, ocean biome. Platform below for collection at y-133. There is nothing else around, all other caves within 10 chunks lit up. Normal and Hard difficulty makes no difference. Switched to peaceful and back with no change. Stood at the collection platform for nearly 20 minutes without a single spawn. Tried waiting closer - nothing. Tried waiting a bit further away - nothing.
There have been zero updates on this issue, and it's a MAJOR ISSUE. Other than closing related bug reports for different version, such as XBOX ONE, marked as "resolved". What a load of ....
PLEASE FIX ASAP.
@aerialspring The linked tickets here were resolved as duplicates:

Also, the issue this bug is describing is to do with naturally generated monster spawners which stopped spawning mobs in the 1.8.0.13 Beta. This issue has been resolved in 1.8.0.14, and is not related to the issue with the frequency of regular mob spawning.
