I'm playing Minecraft in Survival, and no hostile mobs are spawning! This has been happening for the past week or so. I also tried Creative mode (superflat) and mobs are spawning there.

What would cause mobs to stop spawning in Survival?

Details:

  • Minecraft 1.7.2
  • Using Rei's mini map mod
  • Windows Vista
  • Created a new super flat world (creative) and mobs spawn

  • I'm sorry, I can't understand what you're trying to say here. Are mobs not spawning?

    Did you accidentally set /gamerule doMobSpawning false somehow? I'd try a clean reinstall (backup your saves first) and see if that fixes it.

Most likely your render distance is set less than 8. This is a known issue introduced in 1.7.2 when they allowed fine grain control over render distance. Set render distance large (16?) and you'll have lots of mobs.

This question is a duplicate of 1.7.4 Problem with mobs spawning
