Minecraft mobs can spawn anywhere and it would be pretty annoying to have them invading your base. Therefore, spawn proofing is usually the first thing you must do after creating one. In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase a complete guide on how to spawn proof your base in Minecraft 2022.

1. Keep your base well lit

Zombies, skeletons, creepers, and spiders only spawn once the light level of any place reaches 7 or below. Therefore, placing light blocks at various strategic places is the best way to prevent mobs from spawning, with torches being the most common.

Other light blocks such as Shroomlight or Glowstone emit higher light levels than torches but are fairly hard to find. Lanterns are great for aesthetic purposes as they look good in typical base builds like wooden cottages and log houses.

This method doesn't work on mobs that spawn regardless of light levels like slimes, hoglins and magma cubes.

2. Add slabs and half blocks to your builds

In Minecraft, mobs only spawn on top of full blocks. Therefore, building the ground of your base with half blocks and slabs is actually a pretty good idea. Just be careful as only the bottom half slabs are spawn-proof, while those slabs placed on the top half and double slabs are not.

Additionally, using dirt paths/grass paths also counts as a partial block in height and can prevent mobs to spawn.
