[IMPORTANT] Empire Update: Silence Of The Lambs!

I assume you are referring to a darkroom grinder. If thats the case, these new rules are doing nothing to break your grinder, in fact your spawn rate will go up (if the grinder is built right). You shouldnt have to make it bigger, unless you literally kill them in the center, of which there is no available room for them to spawn. Overall though, you should see an increase in mobs spawning, and if you dont, there is something wrong with the design. Also, you should tell us where that data came from, cause it looks very, very wrong.

My understanding of mob spawning is that the default range mobs will spawn in is a sphere of 128 blocks around you with an inner sphere where they won't that is 24 blocks. I'm not sure where, but I recall seeing Aikar post that the new range is 64.

I've got a darkroom spawner that has four interlinked 20x20x10 spawning chambers. It is working comparably to how it was before the update. I haven't done any math, but given the current settings, I should be able to add another chamber as well as add several more levels onto each one without having too many dead pads.

Edit: Found it in post 175 of this thread. It's been reduced from eight to four chunks. Maybe someone can confirm whether you can get past the limit if you build up instead of out?

Thanks for everyone's reply so far.

It used to work, I guess these rules affect people differently. The design must be outdated then..

And yes, vanilla says a distance of 24-120 will spawn actively(where 128 is the despawn I think). Lowered to 24-64, I can still see how this could be effective.

It seems to be about 3 secs after, or so.

Only one question: What does the 'Other' do?
Total is the total count on your res
Animals are the total animals on your res
Items are the total Items on our res,
but what says me the Others amount? I have 6 Others on my res, but don't know what that is!

what will hapen if you have massive wheat or sugar can farm????

oh k i just thought i wouldn't be able to have a farm because if i have to much wheat on the ground it would not give out any when i hit the wheat

Not realy someone left there gate open and then smp9 was flooded in my area with cows pigs and sheep i got alot of wool <.< sHhHhHHhhh dont tell the owner

sorry for bumping this theard, but i still have one quetion: is there a comand, that deletes all your entries on your res? like in worldedit //butcher?

Please change the way mobs spawn....too many all the time in the wild

Not enough... Too many. The general public can be difficult to please :3

Well... where else would they be?

There's definitely too many ghasts - that's for sure.
