I did some searching but I'm getting conflicting information. Can mobs spawn in mid air? For example I am in a cave with a large ceiling, the floor is lit with torches but the ceiling extends up a bit so that the torches don't get a lot of light on them. Will a mob spawn up there in the darkness and drop down if there is no floor to spawn on?
Thanks
