Mobs spawning even in well lit areas

[Holy_Hobo]

I've started a new game in junk jack and my tunnel keeps on spawning mobs, which is incredibly annoying. The lighting doesn't seem weak to me at all, and I keep dying and losing weapon durability because of the level of mob spawns. This happens on every mode(except peaceful ofc), and is very frustrating. Any help?

Fun Fact: as far as I know light doesn't stop mobs from spawning. If your tunnel is the only open space on screen, well it's not going to be pretty.

That's an incredibly stupid system if that's the case. You should always be able to make yourself safe, at least temporarily. What's the point in lighting up areas? What's the point of durability and making a house if you're going to be attacked no matter what?

Hello, mobs won't generally spawn in well lit areas, with some exceptions: harder planets and depth, so you should be safe if you place enough torches in your house and caves near surface. We hope this helps!

This is the first planet, and they spawn even at the top of my tunnel(like 5 blocks under the surface)

Yeah, this might be a bug then, because I'm getting it too.

I also constantly have mobs spawning all over my roof... I put some jack-o-lanterns on my roof to stop them but that only stops nighttime mobs as daytime mobs don't seem to care about lighting.

On the first planet? Its usually harmless bugs and sometimes a spider.

Also Umbra, where daytime mobs are still bad.

No, it's slimes and bats and ♥♥♥♥ that I have to spend a lot of time, durability, and health killing. It's incredibly annoying.

I don't get those in my terra homes. Like, ever.

I made a new home on umbra. A planet where hostile mobs spawn even during the day. And I still didn't have enemy spawning in my base, Though I did have a ton of enemy spawning on my roof. So that when I exited the house a horde of monsters would be quickly following.

It was a mistake also making my crop fields here as theres no safe time to pick them.. 24/7 enemy spawning. (Too bad tilled earth doesn't prevent spawning)

Had to add a wall on the roof on each side to stop the masses.

Don't know what to tell you. They constantly spawn in my tunnels, I can't move like 5 blocks down without getting attacked.

I think it might be an underground thing.

On Umbra I built a town and a castle, with a sewer system. The town and castle are above ground and I have mobs all over my rooftops but not inside. The sewer, which is underground enough that it has automatic backwalls, gets mobs in it constantly. The lights only prevent zombies, but it still fills up with bats and slimes.

On Terra my house is an entirely underground bunker and constantly has spiders and stuff spawning inside.
