Hostile mobs are the greatest danger to any Minecraft player. Common monsters like zombies, creepers, and skeletons alone have caused many player deaths.
One of the easiest ways to avoid dying from hostile mobs is to prevent them from spawning. In Minecraft, most hostile mobs spawn when the light level is below seven. A few hostile mobs can spawn even if the light level is high.
Players can stop hostile mobs like creepers from suddenly blowing a part of their home by spawn-proofing. Spawn-proofing can also help increase the mob spawning rate in farms by a considerable margin.
Spawn-proofing in Minecraft
Spawnproofing techniques depend on why the player wants to prevent mob spawning. A method suitable for builds may not work for farms. Depending on the purpose, players can use the following techniques to spawn proof:

Water and lava are the only two fluids available in Minecraft. Players can use both to prevent land mobs from spawning. Aquatic mobs can still spawn in water, and similarly, striders can spawn in lava in their respective biomes.
Water is often used for spawn-proofing end islands for wither rose farms built in the End dimension, whereas lava can be used for spawn-proofing fortresses.
Mob switch
Anything is possible in Minecraft if a player is smart enough. Minecraft engineers have developed a way to prevent mobs from spawning by turning on a switch. For those who don’t know, Minecraft has a hostile mob limit. Using withers or shulkers, players can build a mob switch that prevents hostile mobs from spawning when turned on.
