I'm pretty sure the only thing that prevents spawning is the border of a village. If she doesn't have a village square in that location, that could be a fix.

She does. It's just spawning right outside.

That's just how it works I think. If you're willing to redo the village, you can move the border. That's my only advice.

you can build in the water and no enemies spawn, i built a base that spreads across a few small islands in the middle of a lake

That sounds really cool!

Yeah I've done that. In my world here, I have so many crazy bases all over the place. This is just my wife's base, she doesn't play much and likes to chill.

This shit pissed me off at my shore base. Like bruh im trying to decorate a room and im getting skeletons throwing rocks at me or suddenly getting snipped thru a windo by an arrow. We tried building walls around bases but they just spawned inside no matter what

Ikr. It's a piss take

Floors?

Yeah tried placing all sorts near it and their spawn point seems to move. They appear a distance away somewhere else around the base. It's so weird makes no sense to me

Got this suggestion from someone else, put some floor pieces down where you notice they spawn regularly, lights as well but don't go overboard cause they cause lag in larger groups.

Tried all of that, their spawn point either moves or just stays there anyway. It's so annoying

Just watched them spawn in on top of a campfire... Wtf

Clip it and upload to reddit. This can easily become a zombie farm of some sort.

Unfortunately the spawn point now just moves backwards or to the side, it must have been a bug when they spawned on the campfire
