Why does this mob spawner not working? We are 117 blocks up and the nearest cave below is is lower than 45. The difficulty is set to hard.

Can you please make another screenshot in which the brightness is set to "bright" instead of "moody"? I literally only see a black rectangle. Opening in a new tab and setting my screen brightness to maximum allows me to see that there is something there, but not what.– Fabian RölingOct 20, 2018 at 19:19

There are a couple of things that I can think of off the top of my head:
Is this a multiplayer server? Having other players online will allow mobs to spawn near them, filling the mob cap.
Mobs can spawn anywhere within 128 blocks of a player. To find a good spot to AFK at, find a spot where the mob farm is within 128 blocks of the player but other spawning spaces either: aren't, or are modified to prevent mob spawning (using light sources or non-spawnable blocks like half slabs).
