Allright, so i made this basic hostile mob grinder in vanilla and spawn rates seem to be really low. I thought maybe the multiplayer is the issue, tried it when no one else was online, didn't work. First, I tried to afk 80 blocks up from the farm then I tried 50, then 24. I also lit up the surface and all caves around it. Because we were close to the world spawn i thought maybe the spawn chunks are the problem so i built the same farm far away, didn't work either. I tried building it in a singleplayer world and see if the farm design was the issue, and seems to be working perfectly fine. Also, I think the hostile mob spawn overall is low, almost none spawn in caves. World difficulty is hard. Non-hostile mobs looks to be spawning fine. Afaik, aternos doesn't change spawn rates so i really don't get what the issue is. Server version is 1.17.1
