In Minecraft, I usually play by myself in the single player game mode. Now I had to disable the internet access on my laptop because of an overload on internet usage. When playing Minecraft I searched for some pigs and horses to bring back to my city, but after an hour of looking around I only found a few chickens (that I happily murdered).
Do animals spawn less frequently in offline mode or is this just sheer coincidence?
Best Answer
Animal spawning is determined by your seed.
As a test, I used this seed: -9057352651117540831 which is known to produce a lot of horses near spawn. I generated the world twice, offline and online. The results were the same, not just for the horses, but for all passive mobs.

Online:
The groups of animals are generated in both instances.
