Who told you that there was a spawn change? And the only bug that I know of that spawns mobs is when sleeping in a bed.

this is a mix of bugs and spawn changes thats why the reports are so scatered

Absolutely nothing had been done to the spawn system.

4JSteve said that changes have not been made to the spawn system.

This has Always happened since the game came out. I heard 4J is looking into the problem though.

I've had the same problem. I dug underneath my house and found six creepers. A risk towards my house, so I killed them (which wasn't easy). Dug underneath there again, and found five more. So I always have creepers under my house. Dangerous but when a friend makes me mad, I make them put their stuff in a chest and send them down there to be blown up by creepers.

I had 6 creepers, 3 Zombies, and 3 Skeletons chasing me the other day. It was awesome when I led them all into my brother's house. It was so funny just having a train of mobs following me. Already read Steve's post, so obviously nothings been done. Still funny the amount that spawned right next to me though.

Seems lighting is the only logical explanation. Regardless, the evidence is pretty clear cut. Unless you dont' believe me and would like to take a stroll in the vally underneath my village sometime....

There is definitely something strange going on with the lighting. I recently started a new world after the update and I noticed a random 1X1X1 square was completely dark in the middle of the daytime. This is probably some sort of bug, but I've been experiencing the same increase in mobs as several others have reported. I don't know if this bug can be linked to that, but regardless there is something going on with the lighting whether it has been changed or there are lighting bugs.

I have also noticed alot more mobs recently(especially creepers), and in many areas where they werent before. Its to a point where I am considering only playing peaceful. I was building a well lit batcave yesterday where I was constantly being attacked I died like 30 times in a 4hr span on easy. Previously I had worked on this same project and rarely was attacked prior to patch.

The lighting was actually brought forward to 1.7.3. So it may just mean that the darker shadows are giving the mobs easier access tospawn. I never suggested the mob spawning had been adjusted by 4J.

Thats an indirect change to the spawning.

Light makes MOBs spawn. Lightning has been changed. Therefore the spawning has been indirectly influenced...

Agreed, but how does it explain the CREEPER UPRISING problem? People seem to see WAY more s than other mobs.

BTW you put lightNing instead of lighting.

Typo, I ignore them. Anyway, I think Creepers tend to spawn more depending on how dark the area is. There are signficantly more pitch black areas now. I think thats where they're all coming from.

Sounds like subjective validation to me.

Any hostile mob can spawn in the dark.
Although what I'm thinking is that the spawn ratio was changed so that creepers spawn more.

Exactly, that is why this forum was even created. Way more Mobs but same spawning system. It makes no sense.

there have been increase of mobs in my world so much that i turn in to a mob hunter an killing creepers has been so easey that i dont step away when its about to blow

I havn't noticed. Are you sure they messed with the spawning? If anything, I havn't seen as many creepers.

after the update every single house i build is the only place the creepers are spawning. i mean ive had 8 creepers at one time then they all blow up as soon as i hit one.(not a good idea) but still there getting annoying. dont feel like i hate the game though(its my fav game) but they need to fix it.

I can confirm this is on Xbox, I have the same map. And to the guy he was quoting, there is no mod to spawn in mobs.

Honestly, it's the luck of the draw.

I swear - every time I see that picture I think to myself "Run, Forrest, RUN!" LOL

I have not seen an increase in mob frequency, but I rarely play on Hard mode.
