So I have a world in Minecraft PE that only has a tiny island I live on. I want to know how far away do you have to be for mobs to spawn and what light level does it have to be?

Best Answer

The distance for mobs to spawn is from 24 to 128 blocks away from any player. Further than that, the mobs don't spawn at all. If you're between 24 and 32 blocks, mobs could spawn and despawn too, probably a memory limit thing. Light level must be lower than 8.

How far away from spawn can mobs spawn?

When there are multiple players, mobs can spawn within the given distance of any of them. However, hostile mobs (and some others) that move farther than 128 blocks from the nearest player despawn instantly, so the mob spawning area is more-or-less limited to spheres with a radius of 128 blocks, centered at each player.

How far away do mobs have to be from a spawner to spawn more?

Mobs are created within an 8x8x3 high area centered around the spawner's lower northwest corner. Note that mobs can spawn in any dark space within range, even if the spawner is fully lit. The spawner will only spawn mobs if a player is within 16 blocks of it.
