It’s a 144 x 144 block area centered on the player. That’s more like a 144 block diameter, not a 144 block radius. – Matt May 3 ’11 at 11:47 @Matt you are correct! I went back and re-read Item 3, and while the wont spawn radius is 24m, the will spawn radius appears to be 60m around you (excluding that 24m radius).
Is there a cap on the number of spawns in Minecraft?
