It’s not stupid at all — mob farms in CubeCraft Skyblock work very differently from normal Bedrock survival, so a lot of common designs don’t function the same way.
Here are a few things that might explain what you’re experiencing:
• Mobs won’t spawn if you’re too far away
CubeCraft uses a custom spawning system, and mobs only spawn when the player is physically close to the farm. If you’re at the bottom and the farm is too high above you, the game simply won’t spawn anything.
• Mobs despawn quickly if you’re not in range
Even if the mobs spawn at the top, they’ll despawn during the fall if you’re too far from them. This is normal for CubeCraft’s system.
• Being in the same chunk isn’t enough
On Skyblock, distance is more important than chunk alignment. Your farm has to be within the “active area” around your player — usually around 30–40 blocks for reliable spawning.
What you can try:
- Build your farm so you can stand very close to the spawning platform (horizontal distance doesn’t matter much, but vertical distance does).
- Try an AFK spot near the middle height of the farm instead of the top or bottom.
- Make sure the spawning chamber isn’t too high — sky limit farms rarely work well on CubeCraft.
You’re definitely not alone — a lot of players run into this with the custom mob-spawning rules. Once you adjust the farm to work inside the active radius, it should start working properly.
