So, while I'm making the I-1S International Subway from Eden to my Bastion (a ~2000 block trip along a flat region 8 blocks above bedrock), I ran into several lakes of lava, requiring buckets of water and diamond picks. The usual. I chance upon a cave while digging up some iron, walk in, and see a dungeon. I ended up having to fight around 25 zombies while lagging, and eventually managed to torch up the whole place. I destroy the spawner, pillage and break down the chests, and harvest the mossy cobblestone. Usual deal.
Then, it got weird.
The whole place is completely lit up, and I'm digging out this mossy cobblestone. Suddenly a Zombie spawns next to me. I kill it. Boy, that was weird. I continue mining. Another zombie spawns next to me. I kill it. I continue mining. A third zombie spawns in front of me, and by now I'm creeped out by the mobs spawning in total brightness. I walk around the shaft for a bit, use F3 to see that no mobs of any description are visible, and walk back into the dungeon to finish up digging up mossy cobblestone. I'm about 3/4 the way done when I get ninja'd. Read: no spawner within at least a 64 block radius and not a modicum of darkness in the whole chamber. Out of nowhere, a group of six zombies simultaneously appears out of thin air directly in front of me in this completely bare, empty, lit-up dungeon. They swarm around me and proceed to wreck my ****. By now, I'm stuck in a corner with six zombie ninjas gang-raping me while I am down to my last mushroom stew, 5 hearts, and 5 armor while I carry a bunch of freshly-mined ore and diamond tools. I've had enough of this **** by now, so I disconnected before I died.
Unless there's a server mod that makes mobs spawn in groups for no apparent reason, I have no ****ing idea what happened in there.
