    There appears to be quite a few differences between the Pocket Edition and the 360/PC version. Due to this I don't think this should be closed as a duplicate.

    Hi, @GeloDCastroid, I've edited your question to add in a bit of punctuation and taken the game name out of the title. That's done to eliminate the redundancy for SEO.

    I'd recommend reading our about page. We work a little differently than most other gaming sites. An overriding rule across the SE network (of which Arqade is a part of) is, "Be nice". We are trying to help you.

    I've played PE a lot and have a rough idea of the radius of monster spawning. I think that in PE, monsters can't spawn in a radius of about 15-20 blocks and the zone of monsters not able to spawn is about... 60 blocks after the normal no monster spawning radius. Note that this information may not be very accurate and uses rough estimates by the looks from where I am.

      Using "roughly" and "about" and "I think" doesn't help anyone. Try to back up your answer with canonical references or sources.
