Too many single-type hostile mobs

[BrighBrigh]

I just build my first MCServer and in the world I generated, the only hostile mobs are creepers, and lots of them. I went into the world.ini and removed creepers from the animals list but now there are no hostile mobs spawning. Is this a common problem?

[BrighBrigh]

update: So I switched the game difficulty in the world.ini file to peaceful then tried to change it back in the in game command console, which didn't change it back. I changed it in the world.ini file but now I just have tons of skeletons spawning and nothing else.

Wow, that's weird. I haven't seen such behavior; but then I don't use the server on survival.

Same here.
A lot of creepers, no spiders, zombies or skelletons.
Build was made today from git-repository.

Same issue here. Anybody aware of a work around or should monsters just be disabled?

Same here,
Downloaded Binary for Raspberry Pi last week.
Besides many mobs are spawning in the water (I'll do an extra Bugreport for that)

[BrighBrigh]

Yeah I sorta gave up on MCServer because of this. It makes survival no fun at all. Plus I figured out how to get spigot running solid on a RPi 2.

Send me an email (jonah@jsebean.com) on your Spigot details. I ran a Spigot
build and it was too laggy on my Pi 2. It's off topic though here so you
can send an email if you are kind and wish to :)

I believe I have fixed this, but it won't help with existing chunks, it will only affect newly spawned entities.

[jsebean]

Awesome. Thank you much. Will be building now :P

Ok works, but now lots of monsters spawn.
I think there are different possibilities for different monster types to spawn. Is there something documented in original MC?
For example i had 2 enderman, 2 spiders and 4 zombies in the first minute!
All running after me, but not doing any harm?

Sorry but this is not a survival mode...

That would be the crude AI we have - it simply tells all nearby mobs to go to you no matter what.

[jsebean]

But the wont attack? I thought they use to?

The code for attacking is there, but doesn't produce very consistent results. If you stay close to the hostile mob/stay still, they should deal damage?

[Knochi]

Unfortunatly they don't. Anyhow the behaviour ist strange.
For example you can see the spiders jumping at you, but they don't deal any damage.
Beside the jump lasts seconds and looks more like the spider is getting weightless for a few seconds.
Normally you won't survive if you get attacked by two enderman that close to you and without any armor.

[jsebean]

So TLDR: the AI needs a lot of work :P
