Why are mobs spawning in my house?

Mobs are spawning in your house because there are areas with low light levels, typically 7 or below, allowing them to spawn, and it’s also possible that your house has open doors or gaps that let them in, or you might have grass blocks inside or around your house where mobs like creepers and animals can spawn. To prevent this, you need to ensure that your entire house, including the surrounding area, has a light level of 8 or above, which can be achieved by strategically placing light-emitting blocks such as torches, soul torches, or sea lanterns.

Understanding Mob Spawning

Mobs in Minecraft spawn in dark areas, and the simplest way to prevent this is by lighting up the area with light-emitting blocks like torches, sea lanterns, froglights, and more, which increase the light level in several blocks and prevent any hostile mob from spawning.

2. Why do mobs keep spawning in my base?

Mobs keep spawning in your base if you haven’t placed your torches properly, or there’s a break in the fence causing mobs to come from the outside, or you can place slabs as the flooring of your base as mobs don’t spawn in blocks less than 1 block high, i.e., a slab.
