Talk:NPC spawning

Are there blocks upon which a monster will now spawn on? --67.168.255.104 02:06, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

reclarify the maximum number column please because i have VERY frequently gotten roughly 12 meteor heads at a given time in a hallow biome created by adding meteor biome added in. 96.15.233.3 18:49, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Did you have battle potion and/or water candle active at the time? The time of day also has an effect, unless you are underground. Did you make the meteor underground? I didn't bother including a column for underground meteor, since this typically won't happen naturally. It would have a significantly higher spawnrate/limit. --GauHelldragon 18:57, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * i placed 50 (and any extra meteor pieces the meteor foes dropped) in an open completely hallow area underground at about depth 400 in a small world. it is third layer underground (mostly stone but not yet lava).  i would like to point out that spawn rate, if i constantly killed and not let numbers add up, was roughly 7 heads per 3 seconds.  further, i couldn't completely clean out neighboring hollow spots and i almost constantly had water based mobs appear below me but out of view range, about 3 min and max not counting dead goldfish.  my screen is 1440x900, i think spawn area is equal to half the radius further than view range.  i did not use battle or water candle. 96.15.251.38 19:12, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
