Mobs not spawning, but NPC spawn works

    You could always try in chat

    /gamerule allowmobs

    Are you in your own world? Even if allowmobs is false, the summon command seems to still work in chat.

    Yes, it's my own world. Mobs used to work. And /gamerule allowmobs does not work 😔

    So chat commands don't work at all? or it replied that the condition is false?

    Chat commands work, it just still isn't allowing mobs. It appears for a fraction of a second and dissapears.

    So sorry, I must be end-of-the-year-too-tired-brain! =D But I'm just not tracking on this yet. 

    1. You have definitely set the setting to allow mobs. 
    2. You clicked T (for chat) and used the command /gamerule allowmobs and you see a message on your screen that says "allowmobs = true" or "allowmobs = false" or you don't see any message at all?
    3. But other chat commands like /summon goat work? or /say Hello?
    4. Are you placing spawn eggs in the world (from inventory,) or using code? 

    I'd like to help. I'm just trying to get enough specifics to eliminate some possibilities. As always, don't forget to restart your computer! =]

    Yes, I have done all necessary. When I use the command, it always says allowmobs = false. I can summon a goat or use the agent to bring in cows, but once I close the world and come back in they are gone. 

    I can use code to temporarily add mobs, but I cannot use spawn eggs.

    Using

    /gamerule allowmobs

    Tells you what the state of the rule is. For some reason your mobs are disabled.

    Have you tried to change the setting by using

    /gamerule allowmobs true

    You could do this in case - for some reason - there is a command running that is stopping them.

    Did you add a command block? if so you could disable command blocks also.

    What you can try to do is set your gamemode to Easy, Medium or Hard to see if it works. If not, maybe try to copy your world, set the settings back to default and change it to the custom settings you've set earlier.

    I think it might be working now. I used the /gamerule allowmobs true. That seems to be working. No sure why the toggle setting would not work. Thank you all for your help!
