Just what it sounds - animals have stopped spawning in my world and it's very frustrating :c
I created new worlds to see if the same problem was going on there, and they spawned just fine. It seems my main world is having problems.

Any help or advice?

I have the exact same problem and its so frustrating any help would be great!

Do you have a lot of tamed wolves in your world? They count toward the max mob count, and can keep other animals from spawning in your world.

This. Time to kill some wolves. *Gets out chainsaw* Here!

Hmm... I wonder if this will be the same with ocelots when the Jungle biomes come out...

Wouldnt know, is there a difference in spawn numbers by that point as breeding is in by then ?

I don't think PC had this problem so we'll just have to wait and see.

If you have more then 10 wolves then nothing else will spawn.

Limit the number of tamed wolves to 7 that way you get a decent number of other animals spawned.

One question - why?

i do not know, but problem fixed ^^ now spawn animals, thx

Glad you got your other animals back. Personally, I think the tamed wolves are a real PITA. If I leave them sitting in their run, other animals spawn in the run with them and nudge them around all over the place. It's kind of sad to watch. Then, if I tell them to follow me, they're always teleporting in front of me and tripping me up or worse. If boating, the boat collides with them, breaks apart and I die.
