Minecraft – Why does the character not look whilst walking

Only a limited number of mobs can be spawned at once, so after the first couple of minutes the limit has been reached, unfortunately these mobs have been spawned elsewhere.

You need to stop mobs spawning outside of the spawners the easiest way of doing this is by lighting up all the tunnels in the area.

It would be most efficient to light up the tunnels between you and the spawning pads as the mobs spawning there do not de-spawn like the ones further than 144

Assuming you are running Windows Vista/7. The procedure would work for other versions of Windows but the PATHs will be different.

• Create a folder named C:\Users\Public\Minecraft
• Download the Minecraft.exe file and save it into that folder
• Create a batch file named start-minecraft.bat (or whatever you want) and save it on your desktop or wherever you want to click to start Minecraft
• The contents of the batch file should be

start-minecraft.bat

@echo off
:: set the app data to be a path that doesn't break minecraft
set APPDATA=%PUBLIC%\Minecraft
:: start up minecraft
%PUBLIC%\Minecraft\Minecraft.exe

Basically we just need to set the APPDATA variable to a directory that Minecraft will consider to be valid.

P.S. This same procedure can be used to keep multilpe different versions of Minecraft installed. Just create a different folder for each version, and update the APPDATA variable to reflect that.
