I'm talking basic mobs (Creepers, Skeles, Endermen, Spiders) and spawn out of thin air. Not the cage thingies.

What about Pig Zombies? They appear to spawn like only 5 blocks away (read: behind)from me.

They can't spawn within 24 blocks of the player (in any direction), or above light level 7.
Zombie Pigmen will spawn in any 2-high space in the Nether, regardless of distance from the player.

No mob can spawn with in a 24 block sphere of you.

Normal hostile mobs will spawn in light level 7 or lower. The lower the light the greater the chance to spawn. so you will get more at light level 0-1 then you would 6-7.


As for Zombie Pigmen, I couldn't tell you other then light doesn't effect their spawning.

What about a maximum distance?
