Is there a height limit for mob spawning in Minecraft?

When there are multiple players, mobs can spawn within the given distance of any of them. However, hostile mobs (and some others) that move farther than 128 blocks from the nearest player despawn instantly, so the mob spawning area is more-or-less limited to spheres with a radius of 128 blocks, centered at each player.

Is there a texture pack that shows where mobs can spawn?

English: This Resource Pack will change minecraft’s lighting to show where monsters can and can’t spawn.

Do mobs not spawn above certain height?

Except for Slimes, height does not have an effect on mob spawning. Chunks are 16x256x16, and are loaded all at once. It is impossible for only part of a chunk to be loaded. So this means yes, it’s possible for a mob to spawn near bedrock even if you’re on the surface.

Can mobs spawn on level 256?

TIL mobs can spawn on Y=256 during daylight (and don’t burn)

Can mobs spawn on stairs?

Mobs can spawn on stairs and leaf blocks again during night or low light levels.

Can mobs spawn in water?

Mobs can’t spawn in water, even from Monster Spawners! The special rule of spawners is that they can spawn mobs in midair; their spawns still require appropriate (lack of) lighting and an empty space, but they do not require an opaque block underneath like normal monster spawns do.

Can mobs spawn in a 2 block high area?

The spawning area is two blocks high, allowing all the Overworld’s hostile mobs to spawn, with the exception of Endermen, who teleport upon touching water.

Where should you AFK for a mob farm?

Your AFK room can technically be anywhere within 128 blocks of the spawner room. But the best place to put it is high up into the air, approximately 80 blocks above the roof of the farm. Since mobs can’t spawn in midair, going this far into the sky makes your spawner room the only place they can possibly appear.

How far away do mobs spawn in Minecraft?

Hostile mobs (and some others) that move farther than 128 blocks from the nearest player will soon despawn (see Despawning), so even with a larger chunk loading radius, the mob spawning area is more-or-less limited to spheres with a radius of 128 blocks, centered at each player.

How big is a mob in Minecraft?

Mobs spawn naturally within a 15×15 chunk (240×240 block) area around the player. Ok, well, thats simple enough, one chunk is a 16×16 block centered on the player, got it. But, thats a two dimensional measurement, and this is a VERY three dimensional game.

Is there a height limit for mobs in Dungeons?

There isn’t really supposed to be a height limit but the upper cap was just recently increased and for whatever reason mobs don’t spawn above the old cap of 128. You also can’t do nether portals with the bottom block above 128 either.

Do mobs spawn when there are no players?

If the mobs are naturally spawning (not from a mob spawner block): There must be no players and no player spawn points within a 24 block distance (spherical) of the spawning block. A mob will immediately despawn if there is no player within 128 blocks of it.
