dev 1561 disabled darkness monster spawns?

Initial evidence seems to indicate that the changes in dev version 1561 disabled darkness monster spawns. Dungeons still generate monsters as expected, but world entity counts plummeted and no additional monsters could be found in dark areas.

Reverting back to 1559 restored the monster spawn count to expected levels in darkness.

Scratch that, 1559 had a large number of initial spawns and then the number dropped drastically. It's likely not 1561 that is the issue, or is only complicating it.

Yep, same here ) For now its so peaceful I cant go back a version haha!

 

More info: We had to revert back to 1557 before behavior went back to normal.

Dev build 1558 only had an Ender Dragon fix and style cleanup. So I'd guess it's an incompatibility issue with a plugin and the new styles. Won't know for certain until I can test craftbukkit with no plugins.

 

b1562 Fix for entity spawning and some code cleanup http://ci.bukkit.org/job/dev-CraftBukkit/1562/

 

Just updated to 1565, still no mobs spawning ^^
Im gonna try 1562 now, maybe that helps.
EDIT: Ok mobs ARE SPAWNING @ version 1562.... Mobs are NOT spawning @ version 1565.

 

They are called dev builds for a reason - they aren't really meant to be used in a production environment .

 

Presumably the devs who build it would like to know about defects so that they can fix them. This wasn't a complaint, this was a bug report with extended information to isolate the source.

This is a confusing one. The specific fix was in 1562 SpawnerCreature line 95, and that has not been changed through 1565. Hmm...

Im just giving feedback about releases. Without this they cant make any fixes. So just in the case they didnt know Im posting my feedback And besides we are atm in the > BukkitDev Information and Feedback thread.

 

Moved.

 

Using 1566 with no mob spawning problems. Also everything else seems to be working on my server with essentials dev build also. Love the new prevent enderdragon blockdamage now can spawn dragon in main world with no grief worries...
