World Anchor isn't working with my mob spawner trap.

[Betonrot]

I have a skeleton spawner trap with a world anchor built next to it, but when I leave the chunk, it stops spawning skeletons. Got an idea on how to fix this?

[Aritchey]

A player has to be with in 16 blocks of the spawner not just the chunk be loaded

[Betonrot]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's exactly what a world anchor is for, right? So you don't have to be close to the spawner?

Use the "Dimensional Anchor", World Anchor didn't work for me too.

No, a world anchor is for the purpose of keeping a chunk loaded when you are outside of chunk loading distance.

It does not affect the fact that even in a loaded chunk, monsters will only spawn within a certain distance of a player.

Thanks for the replies!

Still there is a problem: I made a Dimensional Anchor and placed it near the spawner. But my interface doesn't look like it should be looking. I can't change the range of impact. There are buttons missing. Is this a common problem?

For me the dimensional anchor is working fine, menu etc. works.
