New hostile mob spawning concept

New hostile mob spawning concept: Mosters only spawns on blocks not explored (nbt tag) meaning the top of the block was never in vision of a player after it`s placement or generation. This means monsters have to move into explored areas and making spaces safe would be much more intuitive by using fences etc. Also your house doesn`t become a mob spawner after adding a roof. Building would become much more beautiful because lighting can be used at lower levels. Sleeping would become obsolete. Mob spawner would remain possible but more complicated to build. Only despawning in overcrowded areas, so flying away does not work. Reduced ai usage for mobs far away just a strategic movement so monsters enter explored areas from far away.

    Too overpowered. What if you explore so much areas that no mobs could spawn, because unexplored areas are outside your mob spawn radius? It could be harmful to certain players, and decreases the challenge so much! It breaks one of the purposes of lighting.
