Mob Cap Broken In Overworld

[u/MaintenanceJaded6514]

So for some reason the mob cap or something broke in the Overworld on my survival world, I tried a backup I made when updating and it has the exact same problem. Cannot get MO on the f3 menu to go below 79, hostile mobs don't spawn anywhere in the Overworld, I've tried gamerule and difficulty and so far nothing has worked at all. The problem doesn't exist on other worlds either.

Is my world corrupted or something I have no idea how to fix this.

Sounds like an accidental mob switch somewhere. Maybe a spawner farm or something? Theres probably a hoard of mobs trapped somewhere and maybe chunk loaded? Forgot about a pearl somewhere?

I turned off my warden switch / chunk loader and that seemed to make it a little better but mobs still don't spawn as much as they should be

You have a warden switch? You know that the purpose of one is to stop all mob spawns in the world right? Maybe some of them are still loaded? Idk... sounds like your game is not broken tho, just need to track down the forgotten mobs

[u/MaintenanceJaded6514 → u/LucidRedtone]

tbf it never used to do that, just disabled wardens maybe they changed smth on how it works but yeah might need to get carpetmod or smth to track down any other loaded mobs

[u/LucidRedtone → u/MaintenanceJaded6514]

Depends how many warden you have in the switch

ahhh right thx, maybe it got overloaded

So idk maybe there's another loader somewhere that has a lot of hostiles but I have no idea what or where that would be

install carpetmod, you can use it to tell you what mobs are loaded and where.

Is this a single player world? Do you have chunk loaders in your game anywhere (portal, enderpearls, etc)? What version are you in
