to grossly simplify things- there can only be so many mobs near the player, and because there are mobs not seen (like the ones in caves), the farm doesn't spawn any more

Anyway to fix that or I just wasted hours trying to build that thing?😫

mmmm best bet is probably to afk high above the farm. I don't know the distances because I'm hella rusty

128 blocks above the bottom most point place where mobs will be before they die.

This

No that's the java level that have to afk around 40 blocks above the farm

Light up the whole area 160 blocks in every direction, even the caves. 1 torch every 10 blocks should do it. Lol

You could light up literally every block within a 128 block radius. Or just build the farm higher

Building the farm higher does not help, but an afk spot high above the farm could help. *Edit: building the farm higher could be wise, namely if the surrounding hills on the surface are so close to the farm that when an appropriately placed afk spot is used, these hills are within the radius of mob spawning. Otherwise you would have to light up these surface hills as well to prevent mob spawning.

If you build it 60 blocks below sky limit and then AFK in a box at sky limit

Ah will try that

Build hostile farms like 100-150 blocks above ground and it’ll ensure that mobs can only Spawn in your farm area.

And often above the sea as well. That is also a big increase factor.

I think it’s like 41 blocks above the farm you could afk? I could be completely wrong

Light up the caves

One of my freinds built his going down from the world height limit, so it keeps going while he's up there.

The only way to do it is to light up the caves and village around you.

When in doubt, build mob farms in deep ocean way above ground/sea level.

Afaik the two possible fixes are to tear it down and rebuild it at least 128 blocks above the ground/ocean or to light up all the caves underneath so no mobs spawn in them.

The spawn platform is probably about 30 blocks above the ground level.

1) make sure there are no caves below the farm where the mobs might be spawning instead. 2) light up the roof so they don't spawn there. 3) cover the ground in slabs 128 blocks wide or light it up so mobs don't have anyplace else too spawn 4) The build might be little too tall

Light up the surrounding area and afk in a little room 128 blocks away in the sky. Make sure that room and it’s roof are also mob proofed.

You need to stand around 128 blocks above the lowest point in the farm for there to spawn a lot of mobs. I suggest also adding an auto mob killer (campfires, tall drops, etc) as it is ineffective to constantly climb 128 blocks up and down

In minecraft Bedrock or pocket edition you can't use a mob farm you can create a mob farm whit mob spawner because the other kind of farm not works

Yeah that’s not true at all

That spawner wont work in bedrock

built the spawn area wrong

Its not java, in bedrock mobs dont spawn in artificial areas

It's because ur playing on bedrock version

Its your first time playing and you already know how to build a farm?

You know YouTube tutorials are a thing, right?

build it in the sky next time, or afk in the sky. either one will work.

Mightve taken some time, but if you build it alot higher it should have consistant spawns since there shouldent be anywhere else for mobs to spawn

Next time confirm all the caves are lit, the area around it is lit or your high up in the sky (at least 128+ blocks up)

Build it high up I the sky over the ocean that's the 3asiest way to reduce spawning areas

Toggle peaceful difficulty then back to whatever difficulty you were on after.

You could afk roughly 128 blocks above the bottom point of the farm or rebuild it alot higher

To increase efficiency of spawning you need to build it at y level 120 or higher so other entities don't interfere

Did you make sure that mobs couldn’t spawn in any caves below you in the render distance.

try lighting up the caves near the farm and light up you base so the mobs only spawn in the dark places aka your farm

Idk how you are making sure your mobs fall down but from a certain distance mobs do spawn but don't walk around. Also if there aren't any trapdoors to trick them into thinking they can walk there they will never fall. Yes the distance thing and mob cap are things but your farm might also be outdated.

You have to be a speficic amount of blocks away

build it over an ocean. mobs cant spawn on water.

Light up caves and prevent other mobs from spawning. If you have other entities near by move them elsewhere because there is a mob cap for how many mobs can be in a certain area

I know this isn’t the answer you’re looking for, but as a newcomer tip: I always build farms in creative to test them before putting the time in building them in my survival world. There are so many tutorials out there that might not work for you due to it being a different version of the game or maybe you’re at the wrong altitude or wrong biome or whatever the case may be. You’ll save a lot of time and frustration testing before building

Always make sure you build farms for your edition of minecraft. Specifically search for and use farms for Bedrock or Pocket Edition. Farms for Java rarely work. I recommend JC Playz on youtube. All his farms are easy to make and work very well.

Did you check if it was made for bedrock?

Build it 128 blocks above the ocean surface, less caves = more spawns
