  • new to hosting with aternos, small server for my friends and i. we're running 1.15.2 and just getting things started. there's a CRAZY spawn rate. the server is set to "easy" and we're getting endermen in groups of 3-4 and literal hoards of zombies. how do we ease up a little? i want a fun and challenging game, but this is a little too much, especially for novice players like most of us on the server.

  • Which software and version is installed on your server?

    Did you restart your server after changing the difficulty to easy?

    Vanilla software running 1.15.2
    The server has been easy since the first run / set up-- so, no, I haven't restarted it, but I'm unsure if it would help.

  • I'm having the same issue. I made sure it's on easy and reloaded the thing but it's still doing the same overkill amount of mobs. It was working fine on our own system and when I imported the world onto aternos the spawn rate skyrocketed. Is there a setting I missed moving my spigot world over?

  • Ok so, I tried cutting the mob limit in half to see if that would help. from 70 down to 35. This seems to have temporarily helped for a little early in the night, but over time it got worse again. Also my players have mentioned the days night cycle is taking roughly 10 minutes to go for a full in game day which apparently is tremendously fast. Any thoughts?

  • It is. I've confirmed the settings multiple times trust me. That said I think the issue is the day night cycle moving too fast so too many ticks happen too soon. I'm not sure how to fix that though...

    There's a "ticks-per:" a little below the mob limit. Try setting "monster-spawns" to 4.
