Hostile mobs spawn in and around your builds at zero light level or if it is night time. Mobs such as creepers have the potential to destroy your creations, while others may attack you. There are many ways of preventing hostile creatures from spawning.
Light blocks One of the most basic ways to prevent mob spawning is by placing torches. These increase the light level around them, stopping hostiles from spawning. Other blocks such as glowstone or shroomlight emit higher light levels, but are harder to come by. This method does not work with mobs whose spawning does not rely on low light level, such as slimes, magma cubes and hoglins.
Slabs and partial blocks Mobs cannot spawn on blocks that are less than a full block in height. Areas covered in bottom slabs are unable to spawn mobs, no matter the light level, although double slabs, top slabs and upside-down stairs are still spawnable. Also, dirt path and farmland are partial blocks (15/16th of a block in height) and cannot be spawned upon.
Transparent blocks Mobs also cannot spawn on top of transparent blocks, such as glass, or partially transparent blocks, such as leaves.
Carpet Mobs cannot spawn on carpets because they are not a full block.
Snow layer Snow layers of thicknesses 2 to 7 prevent hostile mobs from spawning.
Redstone components Mobs cannot spawn on buttons, levers, pressure plates, and all types of rails.

First you need to use a scoreboard to mark all the types of mobs you don't want spawning. Type this into chat: /scoreboard objectives add hostile dummy.
- Lighting up the area. Most players focus on spawn-proofing an area to prevent hostile mobs from popping up since they can harm players and their base.
- Placing partial blocks. Any mob needs a full opaque block to spawn in a world. This is true for passive, neutral, and hostile mobs. Hence, if players use partial blocks like carpets and slabs, it will prevent mob spawning.
- Placing transparent blocks. Transparent blocks like glass and leaf blocks also prevent any mob from spawning on them. Hence, they can be placed in certain areas as stylish flooring as well as help spawn-proofing.
- Snow layers. Even though this technique is hardly used by players in the game, using snow layers for spawn-proofing is not the worst idea. Snow sheets can be collected with a silk touch shovel and anywhere between two to seven layers can be placed to prevent mobs from spawning.

Sep 11, 2020 · Minecraft players can turn off mobs in their server settings, using commands, or they can even turn off individual monsters using Command Blocks.
Hostile mobs won't spawn in any area that is above light level 7. Torches produce a light level of 14, and that light level decreases by one for every block (along an axis) out. Therefore, any place that is more than 7 blocks away from a torch could spawn a hostile mob.
