Minecraft – MC Win 10 beta mob trap not working

minecraft-bedrock-edition

I started a SkyBlock on MineCraft Windows 10 edition and built a mob trap. It is just a basic canal design, but for some reason, it is not working properly. it sometimes works slowly when I'm far away from it, but when I'm standing right by it, it won't work at all. I've tried making it 24-45 blocks high.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with It? I really need some bones.

This is how it is intended to work; mobs do not spawn within a 24 block radius from you, so you need to go over 24 blocks away from your farm.

You should not go further than 128 blocks away from it however, as mobs despawn immediately outside of that radius.
