So I just got a new server from BeastNode.com, but I've noticed that spawn_monsters is true and difficulty is on 3 but ABSOLUTELY NO MONSTERS SPAWN.
I event went into a ravine at night and got everything it had to offer without seeing one monster. Normal animals spawn, and not sure about villagers because haven't found a village yet, but there is absolutely no monster spawning. Restarting server and everything doesn't fix anything, anybody know what gives? (it's clearly not the settings)
Uhhhm, is this vanilla? If so, get your server.properties file, I'll edit it for you.
It is vanilla now and I can't tell if it's working. It was bukkit's beta version for 1.2.3, but now I reverted to vanilla for the server. There are monsters spawning, and it's on hard difficulty still, but I can't help but feel like there are still hardly any spawning.

Test it, go find a dark cave, and see if they spawn, or set the time to nighttime, and see if they spawn a lot, I think Minecraft only allows like, 20-ish mobs to be spawned in a chunk, I may be wrong, but if there is a spawner below you, you will see less above ground, due to them spawning automatically underground.
Ok I had the same problem but heres the solution if ur still on bukkit just change ur view distance to 10 be sure to stop the server before u make the change and everything will be fine
Are you on the server when you're wanting mobs to spawn? They don't spawn when no one is on, due to them not loading any chunks for players. Try a vanilla server and see if it works, might be something in the Bukkit config.
