@Grievous I flew over Rohan and the Misties at night. I used Opis to determine the amount of entities per chunk. The most I ever saw was around 15 and even then, by the time I got there, a lot of them had either despawned or were underground in a cave. In any case, I couldn't find large numbers in a small area, but I did find groups of 20-25 on the surface spread out in approx. 4 chunks. If mob spawning has been changed to be "more like patrols of soldiers," then having 15 mobs in one chunk would be a good thing, correct?

@Obsidianman Afaik, having many entities in one chunk does not prevent more entities spawning in said chunk, nor does having zero entities in a chunk make it more likely to spawn more. The only exception to this is that if there are too many entities in one chunk, any spawn attempt would collide with another entity and would fail. In my testing in the Misties and Rohan, the largest total entities I ever saw was around 125, but the majority of the time it was 50-60. When you say almost 200 mobs, I assume you somehow subtracted all the item entities to leave only the mobs reamaining, correct?

I guess I must be doing something different than you guys because I am struggling to even reach the mob cap, while you guys are having too many. Also, I still haven't observed pack spawning(this is my definition of pack spawning, obviously using different amounts of mobs per pack for LOTR entities) of more than 6 mobs.
