For mobs to spawn very efficiently you want to be 128 blocks away from any other potential spawning points for them (blocks with block light lower than 8), so you should be 128 blocks above the highest block in an 128 x 128 area around your spawner.
Where should I build my mob grinder?
Mobs spawn in dark areas. It’s best you build a cobblestone room with no light source in it. You can build a spawner everywhere, even at a ocean. You might want to build that spawner very high above the ocean.
How far away does a mob have to be to spawn?
Mob spawning in Minecraft is limited to a 128 blocks distance from a player.
Do chunks matter for mob farms?
It is impossible for only part of a chunk to be loaded. So this means yes, it’s possible for a mob to spawn near bedrock even if you’re on the surface. Note that this is not true for mob spawners. A mob spawner will only spawn a new mob if a player is within 16 blocks of it (calculated spherically).
Why are there no spawns in the mob grinder?
What this means practically is that the higher you build your mob spawner, the more spawning spaces you need to get good rates. 400 spawning spaces at y 200 is going to be too low to get many spawns, especially if you’re checking it fairly regularly to see if anything spawns.
How do I Make my mob grinders work?
Note: For natural mob grinders to work, you most go into /settings and enable mob spawning. Please light up your island so mobs don’t spawn where you don’t want them to spawn. If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device. Videos you watch may be added to the TV’s watch history and influence TV recommendations.
What kind of mobs can you spawn in Minecraft?
Some mobs such as zombies and skeletons can occasionally spawn with Feather Falling boots or armor which may change the required distance. Because of this, it is often better to make the drop further than necessary.
How does a fall damage grinder work in Minecraft?
Arguably the most important aspect of a fall damage grinder is the drop height. Different mobs need to be dropped different distances in order to kill them. Some mobs such as zombies and skeletons can occasionally spawn with Feather Falling boots or armor which may change the required distance.
