How can I stop hostile mobs spawning?
I accidentally turned on danger mode and the hostile mobs started to spawn. I turned it off, but for some reason, they are still here.
I went to sleep and went out the house and they were still there. I killed all the ones next to me and later that night more were outside, even though in settings it says I'm on easy/peaceful mode.
I live by a huge forest, so they are all over my house! Please help me! I have Minecraft version 0.9.0
(I already tried to leave and turn off the game and go back, it didn't work)

Best Answer
From the "Pocket Edition" page on the wiki:
If you are feeling overwhelmed by hostile mobs, turn on Peaceful mode in the options menu by moving the difficulty slider to the left.
This is the options menu with the difficulty slider all the way to the right, you need to slide it all the way to the left to change to peaceful difficulty (without hostile mobs).

How do you keep hostile mobs from spawning?
One of the most basic ways to prevent mob spawning is by placing torches. These increase the light level around them, stopping hostiles from spawning. Other blocks such as glowstone or shroomlight emit higher light levels, but are harder to come by.How do you keep hostile mobs away in Minecraft?
Use a fence or a wall to keep all mobs except spiders and spider jockeys off your lawn. Though to keep spiders and spider jockeys out, just ring the top of your house with any block.

Answer 2
This game has several functions to determine when and where monsters will spawn:
- Difficulty
The only difficulty in which monsters will not spawn is "Peaceful". Anything higher will cause monsters to spawn including "Easy". If you return to Peaceful, any mobs that have spawned, will despawn.
- Game mode
There are two game modes: Creative and Survival. While this does not determine whether or not monsters will spawn, it will determine their aggressiveness toward the player. In Creative monsters will not be hostile, however they will still spawn and wander around aimlessly until attacked directly by the player. In Survival monsters will be hostile toward you once they enter a certain radius. Note: I'm not sure if this is a feature in pocket edition.
- Light level
Once it gets dark enough monsters will begin to spawn. This is true for nigh and day, in forests, caves, or unlit structures that you have made. Placing torches around the areas will stop this from happening.
- Distance
The distance in this game is measured by what is defined as "Chunks" that are loaded and unloaded when a player moves around the map. When a chunk is unloaded, any hostile entities (or mobs) will despawn after a certain time.
Answer 3
It is a bug which I have also experienced in 0.9.0, I am currently in 0.10.4 and monsters spawned from eggs in creative don't despawn when I turn on peaceful.
But the problem is: A bug
Answer 4
Monsters don't spawn on glass blocks. You can also try to make monster traps. The most effective for me is to surround your house in cacti.
