Maelstrom Posted January 18, 2025 Report Posted January 18, 2025 (edited) Spent a night in the salt, err.. quartz mines on a high activity night. Came to the surface to be greeted by this. They didn't seem to disperse given the advanced time of day. Had to go to creative to not get murderized. /edit - after watching them for a bit they just milled about and didn't flee to darker environs. Edited January 18, 2025 by Maelstrom 2
Thorfinn Posted January 18, 2025 Report Posted January 18, 2025 So far as I know, you have to despawn them. It's not too bad -- get 64 tiles away and wait there for 6 seconds, I think. It's why I've taken to build a vertical cofffin at least 6 high on top of the mine shaft. Since 1.20 came out, I've found bears and wolves and shivers and bowtorn just milling around waiting for me. Dig out a couple blocks up out of bear climbing reach, climb up, and take off running.
Seadog94 Posted January 19, 2025 Report Posted January 19, 2025 Spawning got ridiculous for my world on 1.20.1. We keep getting swarmed by shivers in caves and they are waaaaay to fast, quiet, and high damage for early game. They totally broke cave exploration for early game, and it seems like they are tuned for late game armor sets. 3

I would definitely recommend against cave exploration until you've gotten at least some bronze-tier armor. Unlike other block games, the key to advancing is limiting yourself to surface exploration and only digging down when you've found something through prospecting or surface deposits (like copper, tin, etc) 2

Tried to fight all of them and got lucky enough to have survived the ordeal.
