What's the closest monsters can spawn to the player? Namely the Santa-NK1 and the Everscream?
Great beach item farm doing this.If you are right on the edge of the map, you can watch as monsters spawn about a half-screen away from you.
It's also useful to know for getting treasure maps to fall.Great beach item farm doing this.

I've noticed this particularly with King Slime, he seems to always spawn a really long way away from me and, if he gets stuck, he will despawn if I go the wrong direction! I still haven't gotten his trophy.Boss spawns seem to be noticeably different than normal mob spawns. According to what I've been testing, it seems that their spawn radius has a larger maximum, but I'm not entirely sure if they have a larger or smaller minimum spawn radius.
Speaking hitboxes-wise here.Also another question: How big are the Santa-NK1 and the Everscream?

So they can even spawn on a single block?Vertically, from my own farm builds, the minimum number of blocks is 36 blocks below where the player is standing. Raising the spawn surface to 35 blocks away from the player stops the spawns.
The size of Santa-NK1 and Everscream doesn't affect spawns, since at 35 blocks no mobs spawn while at 36 all mobs spawn. In fact, I can see the sub-bosses and bosses spawning on screen.
This boss puzzles me. I've summoned King Slime in places where spawn areas have been blocked off over long distances, and yet I sometimes cannot find this boss even after traveling over big distances. Either the spawn range is huge, or the boss never actually spawns, or "falls" through the map (I've had smaller spawns fall off maps in some of my farms before, particularly if they teleport to a space where they don't fit).
