Cavern Mob Farm Too Large?

[Burka Swag]

I recently constructed a large cavern layer mob farm that is based on the 168x99 format, however my farm measures in at ~200x130.

10 mobs will spawn very quickly once I enter and it appears to function, but once they die, zero mobs will spawn in the top half. I have even added extra walls around the perimeter, added jungle grass blocks, but I cannot find a solution.

Should I just shrink it to the exact format dimensions? Any feedback is appreciated.

It should be mentioned that the platform for spawning is Stone Slab, as is the entire perimeter.

he has a point, if the farm is in a cave and the skeleton merchant spawn, he can decrease the spawn rate alot

also are the areas nearby the farm covered in walls or with a layer of lava on the blocks? because the enemies can just be spawning out of the farm plataform

Thats interesting. He does spawn in there frequently, but he often dies as well.

It is so strange. The moment I move around or enter the spawn area, tons of mobs begin to spawn. Its in the center that nothing happens.

[Brandon]

are you behind background walls, I know that some mobs dont spawn if you're behind background walls and/or not moving

[Burka Swag]

I am behind walls yes. I'll remove them and see what happens

Removing the walls helped for a second, but unfortunately the spawns are now back down
