Mob farming: 240-radius of air vs. 128-radius of lit caves
Mobs spawn naturally within a square group of chunks centered on the
player, 15×15 chunks (240×240 blocks). When there are multiple
players, mobs can spawn within the given distance of any of them.
However, hostile mobs (and some others) that move farther than 128
blocks from the nearest player will instantly despawn, so the mob
spawning area is more-or-less limited to spheres with a radius of 128
blocks, centered at each player. In multiplayer, mob caps are shared
by all players, no matter where they are.
-- Minecraft Wiki
So, if I core out a 240-block radius around my farm, will that prevent the game from doing spawn attempts at all outside the farm, thus causing 100% of all spawn attempts to be applied to the farm's platform? Also, does it try to spawn in lit caves, or are lit solid blocks equivalent to air?
