I have been working on the Tree Spirit challenge so at first the lack of bad mobs(creepers,zombies ect) not being seen seemed like a lucky break. Now that I have played for more then 10+ nights in minecraft terms, I'm seriously wondering. Where are the bad mobs at? I did find out that I started to build near an underground dungeon, which I have now destroyed, but still I have only had an issue with 1 spider and that is it. No creepers, no zombies, ect.
The only thing I can think of now is that maybe there are more underground caves that they are spawning at? Any ideas?
*note I am using 1.8 release. On Normal difficulty.

In the tree spirit challenge you are prone to standing still on a piece of wood for a very long time right? I think i read somewhere that mobs don't spawn in your immediate vicinity. Once a mob has spawned it'll have to wander all the way over to you, since you don't move. I don't remember the specific block range though. That's why you've only met one spider.
At least that's my theory.
I can't find any proof on the wiki though, so don't take my word for it. You might've just gotten extremely lucky.
The correct distance is 24 blocks. It's pretty obvious that if you don't move and they spawn 24 blocks away, you won't meet many of them

The caves are propably the reason
