In Minecraft, players can interact with living creatures called mobs. These mobs can spawn at all types of places in the world.
There are different types of mobs available in Minecraft. Mobs are divided into three groups – Neutral, Passive and Hostile Mobs. Neutral mobs do not harm players unless they are hit first. Passive mobs will never attack players, while hostile mobs will always attack them in Minecraft. Each mob in Minecraft has its own spawning mechanism.
When spawning, Minecraft divides mobs into five categories: hostile, friendly, water creature, water ambient, and ambient. Minecraft has a unique spawning method for each of these categories. To make efficient farms, players need to know the best distance to spawn mobs in Minecraft.

In the case of a spawner, players need to be at a distance of at least 16 blocks distance from the spawner to activate it. When AFK-ing at a spawner-based farm, players should be at a distance of less than 16 blocks from the spawner.
Friendly mobs spawning
horses, chickens and pigs spawn when a player enters a new chunk. These mobs can spawn in groups of four at once when players enter new chunks. These mobs are also found inside small farms in villages.
Villagers only spawn in villages. Players can also find zombie villagers randomly spawning in dark areas. They can be cured with a splash potion of weakness and one golden apple. Most friendly mobs do not have a specific spawn distance in which they spawn.
