 Description   

Mobs spawn in areas that have a lot of light. I made sure to place plenty of torches around a village I live near and in my house but mobs still spawn in there. This keeps happening on the bedrock server I made. We are playing on hard difficulty too if this information helps.

Your issue appears to be one of poor lighting. This is just one section of your village, everything with the check pattern on it is spawnable.

Its generally easier to upload to a service like OneDrive or Google Drive (or anything you have an account to) and share a link here.

Oh ok sorry about that I have provided some screenshots and my world seems to be too big is it fine if I upload it in parts? New here so not sure how to go about this. 

 

Edit: was able to upload by removing db folder will try to upload it still tho

Edit 2: db folder still too large. It is at 184mb.

You will need to provide more information to narrow this one down. A world download and location of the issue (plus a screenshot to make sure we get the right location) would be best.

We've seen an uptick in reports for this issue but in most, if not all occurrences so far it has been caused by inadequate lighting.

Many point to the fact that mobs never spawned in this areas prior to 1.16 as evidence of a bug however there were mob despawn changes in 1.16 that explain this. Prior to 1.16 it was possible to spawn in small dark holes in the area and they would never despawn, preventing mobs from spawning in those areas in perpetuity, even in unlit spots.

That change has led many to falsely report mobs spawning where they think they shouldnt.
