| Description |
|
I am building a tower on a man made island and for most of the time there are no mob spawns except for squids, Iron golems, and slimes (Theres a 2x2 chunk slime farm on the island). Ocassionally I will spot a creeper, a skeleton, a spider, or a zombie roaming around on the ground floor. I've searched every spot for light levels of 7 and below and there are only light levels of 8 and above. |

Light levels at my head were all 9 or better. At my feet it would be 8. Also, this only started happening a couple days ago. I've never had this trouble before, and I use this design a lot. Also, the zombie appeared in the room directly over the one I was in, I was definitely within 24 blocks. |

Ok first of all Endermen have the ability to teleport from anywhere to anywhere they like, happend one teleported right infront of you. Secondly this game has very simple mechanics whether a mob can spawn or not: if it's dark, mobs spawn - if it's light, mobs do not spawn. Also the game provides the simplest and cheapest way of preventing mobs from spawning: Torches! But if you insists of putting as little torches down as possible it is up to you to make sure every single block a mob can spawn is lit enough. As I tested sufficiently enough light levels above 7 prevent mobs from spawning. |

I realize that f3 checks the light levels at head level. Though, mobs were never able to spawn like this in the past(in my experience) with a level 7 light on the ground and a level 8 above that. |

I'm checking the levels at my feet. |

Are you checking the light levels at your feet on the surfaces? |
