This video took a LOT of time and research, I hope you all can enjoy and learn! Want to see some of this information in action? Check out this Slime Farm I did: th-cam.com/video/qKwxoG1rpXE/w-d-xo.html All of the other videos on this topic are around 30 minutes and kind of suck, so I wanted to fix that!
Hello so I can ant to build a semi automatic crepper farm in a Mc JAVA 1.15 server.... will the farm be as efficient in a single player survival world or the player around it ( thousand of blocks) will effect its efficiency? Thank you :)
At 2:06 You say "If you need help, just leave a comment below. I'll get to you." Are you helping with anything or just that specific topic? Because I need help raising money for my truck.
1. The individual intros for your videos are great! 2. I love that you visualize/animate anything you are currently talking about! I'm a returning player and have to relearn a lot! At the same time, I don't feel overwhelmed with information when watching your videos. 3. I get what I clicked for! No "10 tips for XYZ" where I already know 9 of them and feel like I wasted my time. 4. I appreciate a lot that you trim your videos heavily. Because they are so short, I can rewatch them as often as I need without having to listen to you rambling or testing things. Definitely won me over with the effort you put in your videos! Subbed!
@@joshualawton57 yeah but I don't think it plays a big role. If you have a low enough light level and are not too close or to far away they should be able to spawn.
Would like to clarify some things: - The stuff about 'mob density capacity' discussed at 3:15 is a bedrock mechanic. The rest of the information here is java. - The likeliness stuff at 4:05 is incorrect. Mobs do not spawn faster at lower y values - *they spawn faster if the highest block in the x/z column is lower, since the spawn attempt has a greater chance of starting at a useful y level.* This is because, as mentioned, spawn attempts are spread *equally* between the lowest and highest blocks. - With pack spawning - the game will attempt further spawn attempts even if the original spawn fails. The number of times it repeats is based on the pack size of the mob, and each of these can spread up to 5 blocks from the last attempt (in x/z). Therefore, packspawns can spread up to packsize*5 from the original position. - Regarding spawn qualifications - not all 'opaque' blocks are spawnable, and not all 'transparent' blocks are spawn-proof. (Although, what defines 'opaque', 'solid', and 'transparent' blocks is often different to each person.) For example, mobs can spawn on blocks such as top slabs, slime, and anvils, which are technically transparent (do not block light), and cannot spawn on certain opaque blocks such as bedrock. Another thing, the 2 blocks above where a mob spawns must not be redstone components or liquid. Just a few other things to mention: - Most mobs which are affected by light level have a higher spawn success if the light level is lower. Ideally you want 0. - Each tick, when the game makes spawn attempts, it does 3 per chunk. - In 1.16+, the game rechecks the mobcap for every chunk's spawning attempts, so unlike prior versions, you cannot overspawn the cap by much. - Mobcap formula is 70*player loaded chunks/render distance^2
This was a rlly cool vid! I hate to be that person, but I feel I gotta mention 2:29 is not correct since it matters a ton for mob farms and such. Depending on the mob, you may need 1.5 or even 3 vertical blocks for the mobs to spawn in. These can be transparent blocks (such as air blocks, vines, torches), but a lot of transparent blocks don't allow mobs to spawn in them (such as glass). Some examples for the space needed for various mobs to spawn include Creepers requiring 1.8 blocks, Zombies requiring 2 blocks, and Spiders requiring not just 1.5 vertical blocks to spawn, but also 3x3 opaque blocks on the X/Z axis.
@@adityashankar9551 yeah, spawning conditions are very weird depending on the mob. Iron Golems especially, with their larger hit box but only needing a 1x1 block horizontally to spawn meaning they can technically spawn partially in walls and suffocate. Which is not how other larger mobs like Spiders spawn. Very weird. But I like it, makes every farm unique.
It is very important that the Light level matters a lot. The chance for the mob spawn to fail is the Light Level divided by 8, thus at light level 8 and above it is 100%, and 7 and below it is less than that, and the lower the light level the less likely it fails.
I-the person who cleared up the wiki on spawning most recently as it still had stuff relating to older versions (subchunk rules and stuffs) and even referenced biomes which only exist in bedrock edition- was wrong about the part where its greater than mobcap. To be precise, its if it is greater than 1 less than mobcap. Anyways, I'll point out some issues or information not included: 1. Fish - they have a despawn sphere of 64 (since 1.16) 2. I'm not sure but I think mobs can despawn just as soon as they leave the 32 blocks away from the player, just so long as it has been 30 ticks since spawning. 3. Technically, the game checks if the block beneath follows certain characteristics or is ex. a top slab, soul sand (possible to spawn, but don't meet base requirements.) There's another set for if the mob can't spawn on it, and another check for if its on magma blocks, ect. 4. The bit on the spawn cycle was unclear - different mobs have the spawns occur at different frequencies, with hostiles spawning every tick, but passives and bats less frequently. 5. Mob density capacity - never heard of it, never seen it, could possibly exist but I don't think so? 6. There are 3 packs chosen, some mobs have differing pack spawn attempts dependent on the type of mob which spawns (I put all the data in the wiki), not 12 pack mob spawn attempts within a pack. 7. Given that a mob would despawn from the circumstances of the despawn sphere, then they won't spawn - but mobs can spawn outside of despawn sphere, specifically passive mobs. 8. As imtheguy helped point out, the light level for overworld hostile mobs (including within other dimensions and wither skeletons) needs to be 7 or below (not lower than 7) [this includes internal skylight level] 9. packs have nothing to do with game difficulty except for like phantom spawning
@@spinnyboi9951 Mobs will never count as negative towards mobcap, but mobs won't count to mobcap if you nametag them, ect. There is some weird stuff about how some new nether biomes handle mobs not spawning, but it's different.
@@jonaspaladin1398 what about mobs that dont despawn to begin with like villagers and zombie villagers? do they count towards the mobcap untill nametagged or are they one of the ones that dont count no matter what
@@spinnyboi9951 Villagers and iron golems have their own mobcap separate from other mobs which no mobs spawn from. Zombie villagers count towards mobcap unless nametagged/ect. and will despawn.
you forgot to mention how placing transparent blocks nearby can increase the pack spawns on nearby solid blocks (probably intended to keep mobs spawning in forests)
Unless I missed something big, this video fails to answer an extremely important question: Does expanding the spawn zone (raising the count of spots that meet the spawn condition) increase spawn rates? If yes, are there diminishing returns to expanding the spawn area? This is important to know because I'm trying to decide on what size to make my farm. Most tutorials don't seem to mention why they make their farms a certain size and I don't want to over-build or under-build.
If you have more areas for things to spawn, then you have more chances for things to spawn. If something is more than 128 blocks away from you, nothing will ever spawn
You will have diminishing returns if the farm ever reaches mobcap with more spawning spaces. Otherwise, more spawning spaces will lead to better results.
2:29 two transparent blocks? That makes o sense cause if that was the case you could place a bottom slab (transparent block) on the solid block and it would still spawn which would contradict the assertion that a mob cannot spawn on a transparent block
Could you make a video about how mob spawning use to be on older versions and between each edition? Because I still remember when you would remove all the torches in your house and would eventually spawn a mob behind your back even in a small room ?
Great tutorial! how does mob spawning in a certain structure work though? (for example: pillagers in outposts, guardians in ocean monuments, shulkers in end cities, etc)
You did kind of forget to mention that the spawn cycle happens within a 256 block radius of every player, but considering that mobs are scheduled to despawn on the next tick if they are further than 128 blocks it kind of makes it inconsequential because they are only alive for a single game tick.
Wanna know a fun little fact about the spawn radius? Any turtle eggs outside your 128 block radius won’t hatch. Keep that in mind when you start a turtle farm.
Hello, is the spawning bubble also active in the Y coordinate? Eg. If i'm 128 blocks away from the lowest block will mob despawn/will mobs only spawn close to lets say an hypothetical platform near me but 128+ blocks away from ground?
Something to point out is that in bedrock edition mobs actually can and will spawn inside of each other, where in Java you would see one skeleton, on Bedrock you'll see 2 - 4 skeletons on the same block
ive played since 2013 and over the years had many creepers spawn right beside my outdoor bed at the exact moment i got in and blow me up and send me back to the origin with a destroyed bed
And if you hate a certain mob... find a room in your world you can sacrifice Nametag them for most mobs (some will be able to wear armour...I'd give them a leather helmet because they are the mob that burns in sunlight) Put the mobs in that room, get the mobs to that number... and suddenly you have "banned" the mobs If you want them back, you can always go back and kill them...best mob to do this with would be phantoms (you are sacrificing repairing elytra though...so at that point you NEED mending enchantments... but that's not even up for conversation because everyone who would have an elytra would have unbreaking and mending on it)
The main differences between Bedrock and java is that Java spawns mobs from the bottom of the world up, while on bedrock they spawn top to bottom. If you want to make a really efficient mob farm on bedrock, build it as high as you can. I am not so sure about how mob density works on bedrock though to take that into account.
Hey! Just wanted to say thanks for making these videos- they're wonderfully edited and concise. It's good to finally see a Minecraft channel that isn't clickbait and presents in a mature, but approachable way. I subscribed, good luck in the future :)
Nice, But I want To Point out Top Slabs are not Opaque to redstone maybe to other stuff it is and top and bottom slabs have the same type its a ModelShape Check For Spawnable and some other perams.
Riddle me this: I build a mobfarm, pretty deep down a mountain. When iam under the mobfarm, no mobs spawn. When iam above, they do. There are no longer caves, or any other mobspawn locations under or in all 4 cardinal points within 150 blocks. Version is 1.16.5 I dont get it, back then in 2014 when i last played, the same farm worked very well.
so i have a zombie spawner underground and the actual place where they fall is 20 blocks below, and when i sit at the place where they fall no mobs spawn
A bit late, but basically the game always try to spawn at a specific y value between the lowest and the highest y value. This means the lower the spawning ground the less block the game has to count
Mysticat used to sound like a dude,lol. I subscribed for the crazy creative command line shenanigans, but the tutorial stuff is surprisingly entertaining. Keep it up you crazy feline!
Was this video made before the introduction of simulation distance..? It is my understanding that simulation distance changes the eligible spawn distance, for hostile mobs at least.. Not sure about other types of mobs.
I made a wither skeleton farm in 1.16 and I need to know if it would be benificial to remove all of the blocks above the farm. I have already spawn proofed everywhere. You said something about how the game picks a random y level for each spawn attempt up to the highest block. I suppose that if a remove all the blocks above my farm and then put a 1 block thick roof above the farm, all spawn attempts would be in or below my farm, as opposed to being above it. Also, great video btw!
Is the spawning region around a player also vertical? Basically, is it a sphere around the player or a cylinder from bedrock to the height limit? Also, great video!
I'm not sure if this was explained in the video, but anyway... Me and my friend have a bedrock world with a skeleton mab farm. We want to let the skeletons stack up while we afk. Is there any way to change to amount of mobs that occupy one block?
Weird- 70 mobs? I've got a three-level gold farm suspended at Y246 and space below nether ceiling cleared out beyond 128 blocks from AFK spot. I explicitly see 3 groups of four zombie pigmen spawn and then there is the aggro-inducing zpigman trapped. So I only ever see a maximum of 13 mobs in my farm. Render distance is at 21 chunks.
does anyone know how we can make a spawn location for entities? Like we want an entity to naturally spawn only in desert biome? Do anyone know how to do that help me with that pls
Are Iron Golems unique? Seems like they spawn much closer than the outside of the 24 bubble? I’m referring to the natural spawn not building one from blocks and carved pumpkins. Thanks!

"there are only four types of mobs: hostile friendly water and ambient" neutral mobs: am i a joke to you?
I guess that for spawning purposes they count as hostile

Nametag them for most mobs (some will be able to wear armour...I'd give them a leather helmet because they are the mob that burns in sunlight) Put the mobs in that room, get the mobs to that number... and suddenly you have "banned" the mobs
If you want them back, you can always go back and kill them...best mob to do this with would be phantoms (you are sacrificing repairing elytra though...so at that point you NEED mending enchantments... but that's not even up for conversation because everyone who would have an elytra would have unbreaking and mending on it)

Spawn are only within a 128 bubble, but the Nether always has Bedrock on top so you can’t affect it
would removing the bedrock then make my farm more efficient

Is the spawning region around a player also vertical? Basically, is it a sphere around the player or a cylinder from bedrock to the height limit? Also, great video!
4:24 no one is talking about the white sheep going through grass?
so non hostiles spawn radius (0:33) and density capacity (3:16) doesnt work the same? 😢 help
I'm not sure if this was explained in the video, but anyway... Me and my friend have a bedrock world with a skeleton mab farm. We want to let the skeletons stack up while we afk. Is there any way to change to amount of mobs that occupy one block?
Bedrock is broken and works entirely differently
So so underrated!! Awesome content!!
This may be outdated, as fish are part of a 5th category called water ambient.
Bro the first part explained to me why most my farms didnt work :/ thank you very much brother
Is the spawn bubble a circle or a sphere? Like, does it effect x, y, and z coordinates? Or does it just effect x and z coordinates?
Sphere
Wow that was fast! Thank you.
At 4:23 a sheep casually clips into the grass
his voice is like 50% familiar and 50% different from today but still like it
Very interesting, good job
Weird- 70 mobs? I've got a three-level gold farm suspended at Y246 and space below nether ceiling cleared out beyond 128 blocks from AFK spot. I explicitly see 3 groups of four zombie pigmen spawn and then there is the aggro-inducing zpigman trapped. So I only ever see a maximum of 13 mobs in my farm. Render distance is at 21 chunks.
How about for farms that use Portals? Is the Mob Cap affected even if mobs are taken to the Nether?
No if a mob is taken to the nether it does not contribute towards the mob cap
Now teach us Redstone in 5 minutes!!
How do I increase the amount of mobs spawned, I recently added a zombie apocalypse mod and there are very few to none zombies that spawn.
3:03 nice.
does anyone know how we can make a spawn location for entities?
Like we want an entity to naturally spawn only in desert biome? Do anyone know how to do that help me with that pls
Are Iron Golems unique? Seems like they spawn much closer than the outside of the 24 bubble? I’m referring to the natural spawn not building one from blocks and carved pumpkins. Thanks!
