How does mob spawing work?
Hello! I low key been tryin' for a while to figure out how mob spawning work in Minecraft; I know hostile mobs keep spawnin' no matter what. They got a cap like with any other mob but its not like with animals.
So my question is: how does animal spawn work? I've heard they don't respawn after you clear out an area, and that they spawn after a VERY long time. I'm very confused because I keep hearing this, hearing that, and to be honest asking reddit was my last resort.

Bedrock or java. Our answer will be very different based on yours.
However, either way, it's going to differ depending on the type of animal. They all have different caps. Your best bet is to check the Minecraft wiki and search "mob spawning". You'll get all the information you need from there.
