Low Mob Spawn Rate

[DizzyEffectz]

It seems to me that mobs, both passive and hostile, are very hard to encounter on my 1.0.8 server. I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find where to edit the spawn rate for mobs. Is there a way to edit the spawn rate of mobs?

If you're flying around everywhere, this is a normal minecraft thing - try walking around a bit first or staying in one area for a while (while flying you move faster than the spawn rates once there's already a lot of entities around and spawning slows down).

 

In answer to your question though I'm not aware of anything but the cofh config files might have something (they've got a lot of worldgen stuff so they might have some spawn stuff too), though I'm not sure.
