Good morning!
I wasn't sure where to put this question, so I appologize if it shouldn't be here. I don't know that it's a modpack issue, and I'm not even sure if it's a mod or game issue. It might very well be a computer system or user error issue. So, I was hoping for some insight.
I'm playing Material Energy^4 and this is the first time that I have ever built a mob spawner of any kind. As such, it is neither the prettiest or most efficient, but I'm proud of it because I did it all by myself.
I'm using the powered spawner from enderio, combined with conveyor belts and water to wash the mobs into diamond spikes and the loot into XP drains from openblocks and vacuum chest from enderIO. And pretty much from the start, I've had quirks with it.
When I first started, I used 1 skeleton spawner and witch water instead of water. It worked pretty well, but I knew I wanted to use four spawners. As soon as I added a second spawner, it stopped consistantly spawning mobs. Then I added 2 more spawners and it stopped working entirely. I was watching the spawners and they had full power and appeared to be running, but nothing happened. I spread the spawners out. Nothing. I lowered them in case maybe they were too far from blocks where mobs could spawn. Nothing.
Finally, I took them all down and started over with one. I also replaced the witch water with water temporarily (for my own safety). Nothing.
I went to bed and got up the next morning, logged in. Instantly there were mobs there. And they were wither skeletons. Wither skeletons coming out of a skeleton spawner when I had water flowing. They only spawned once... until I logged off and logs back on. Then they were back.
Now I have 4 skeleton spawners that always spawn wither skeletons and only when I log in in that room. I can't teleport to another room and back, I have to log out and back in.
I'm not too concerned because, hey, it works. But it's really weird. Any advice?
(As an added question, when I first created my spawner, it dropped 4 skeleton heads. Since then, I have not seen a single head, skeleton or wither skeleton. It's been days working on this, and no more heads. Not even when I went in and used my beheading weapons on them. Not a head to be gotten. It just doesn't make sense to me. What am I doing wrong?)
