The Following is in Vanilla Minecraft Survival mode ,
I have read that there is / was an issue with Mob farms working just after building and turning on,,, Then shortly afterwards spawning slows then stops. A number of Videos claim this is "Possibly because of 1 or 2 or Both of these reasons.
Here is one of those videos:
1) There exists a 272 by 272 Block area " Centered on the center Chunk you are in " where Mobs can spawn,, Just on the edge of that and for 20 or so blocks is where Mobs are Frozen after coming in and out of that 272 X 272 range and that hits the mob cap,, they are just there and Frozen. In the video above he lit up that area as well as the 272 and his mob spawner started working again.
2) Block render distance was set below 10.
Does anyone else see this happening in 1.8 or know any further info ?
I'm not really sure, but maybe Mob Spawners don't work in 1.8, or they work more buggyly.

Mobs are totally bugged in 1.8 - A.I. it's not working properly and the spawn issues are several (its true that has something to do with the render distance and only hostile mobs are affected).
If you look out the forum about "slimes not spawning", "mob grinder not working", "mobs bugged in 1.8", etc., etc., you'll see at least 30 different posts in all sections describing the same issue, and all are the same problem...
