Spawn cycle

Bedrock Edition

Natural spawning in Bedrock Edition shares only a few similarities to natural spawning in Java Edition. In Bedrock Edition, there are two main types of natural spawns: pack spawns and structure mob spawns. Structure mob spawns are mobs spawned as part of a structure, such as nether fortresses, witch huts, etc. Pack spawns account for all other types of natural spawns, including mobs that spawn individually (i.e. not in a pack of 2 or more). Both types of natural spawns follow the same rules for spawn conditions and the mob cap.

Type holes in TypeScript

In TypeScript there are a few ways you can sidestep type inference and the compiler to introduce type holes in your code. Type holes are parts of the code where we’ve lied or hid information from the compiler and can be a source of bugs that are not present in properly typed code. The common ones I see are listed below in order of really bad to bad.

Type casts

const something = getValue() as any;
const cat = dog as Cat;

            return users.query({username: username})

        .then(function(exising){
