Help! No monsters are spawning if I have 3 players in world. (lemmy.world)

I have a 3 player vanilla survival realm and everything has been working fine for 100-200 hours of gameplay until this past weekend. We noticed that monsters suddenly weren’t spawning when all three players are in the game. If one player leaves, monsters immediately begin spawning. It doesn’t matter which player leaves the game.

Things I’ve tried:

  • Set game to peaceful for some time (force all hostile mobs to despawn) then back to normal difficulty.
  • Player 1 was playing on PC and tried switching to Xbox X.
  • Player 3 has a child account: age was set to 21+.
  • Tried eliminating many non-hostile mobs in case we were near the limit.
  • Tried downloading the game to my Xbox and hosting locally. Still no mobs even though Realms wasn’t involved.

We are playing Bedrock edition 1.20.51. This is my son’s first time playing survival and he is super invested in our world. We are all frustrated that one person has to log out for the others to fight monsters. Please help!

Thanks for the idea. That link is quite comprehensive! I didn’t detail this well in my post but we tried this earlier today. Near our house we do have a large chicken farm so I went through and eliminated them down to around 50 chickens. I’m not totally convinced that this farm is in a loaded chunk when we are home.

At our house have about 10 horses/donkeys/skeleton horses. Cows about 15 and sheep about 30. We also have about 30 dogs altogether. So even if the chickens count we should be well under 200 after tonight’s slaughter.

I’m also not convinced it’s related to the mob cap because when one person quits multiple monsters start spawning immediately.

That's really interesting that you get multiple mobs spawning right after one person leaves. Have you tried a new world (at least temporarily) and see if the error persists across worlds?

You could also try copying the realm locally to play on a PC and test if mobs spawn - you'd need to have all 3 players connect to the local IP however.

Also, perhaps the game rule was updated? No idea how that would work as I believe game rules are server based and not per user.... but you can try fixing it with:

/gamerule domobspawning true

The last idea I have is that perhaps you fought the end dragon last weekend? There is a forced chuck load/persistent area in the end once it's been loaded for the first time.

There are a few Jira/Bug reports over the past year or so with users experiencing similar issues - however, none seem to have a solution. Not sure if that means that it fixed it for the user after an update or not.
