I have also noticed a large increase in mob spawning since the 1.7.3 update. My mob grinder output has increased more than two-fold. I realize that there was apparently no change to the spawn system per Steve, however i have noticed a significant difference. I suppose it could be other factors playing in, though I'm not sure what.

I have noticed on my server an increase in mobs but on my son's server our mob grinder hasn't been puttin out nearly what it used to, I never even considered that the update might have had something to do with it. I am currently building a mob grinder on my server so I hope the mobs keep spawning like they are.
I WISH I WAS YOU! CREEPER HEAVEN! FINALLY! I have 64 gunpowder at my house (no duping, i hate duping) and i'm looking for some more.
I wish I had that much gunpowder, I need to blow up the mountain next to my castle wall. Mobs will jump off the cliff and attack me (and scare the s*** out of me)
When I go hunting, I find 5, 3 despawn and 4 start shooting me, and I get ONE piece of gun powder.

I had a friend help me make a mob grinder recently and I get about 10 up to 25 gunpowder per 10 minutes plus bones, arrows and other stuff so just try to make one maybe you can finally have your tnt dream :f

Too bad I used 80% of my cobblestone chest on the castle.
You could be on to something there. While i've not experienced quite teh creeper rush AR3 has. I've definitely noticed an increase in mobs across the board. Before a mignight dash from the beach house to the new build was a dodle, maybe 1 or 2 mobs on the way. The other day I got ambushed by 3 skeletons while being chased by 2 zombies and 2 creepers.
I have a problem with mobs spawning in my house! Its completely lit up, with a floor of wood planks and bricks. The basement has a cobblestone floor and is bright, but you have to get out with a ladder and there is a trapdoor that is shut. Eventually I just blocked in my bed with gravel so I could sleep. I really hope 4J fixes this...

Wow I did not realize this was getting so much attention! Anyway, I realize Steve said nothing has changed about the spawn system but I just can't believe that... The day before I updated to 1.7.3 I received my usual low amount from my grinder. Immediately after it I went to collect and I found a substantial increase in loot. I'm also seeing alot more monsters spawning everywhere, especially on my world. I really don't understand it.
By the way, there are no mods affecting my game. I wouldn't play with them and I'd leave if my friends used them.

The lightning system was one of my thoughts... Much darker shadows and they're much more common as well.
And you come to my world and have fun putting up inventory after inventory of torches in that entire area....
I found them all bunched up in one area and tried to screenshot them. I died afterwards
I am sorry for your loss.
You sir have a great brain, lol

It was the only thing I could think of since 4JSteve had said that nothing had been done to the spawn system.
I know someone who has found a solution to this.

The lighting system was changed to the 1.8.2 version.
Thank you for confirming the lighting change.
