What size world is this?

What size world is this?

most likely small, as if it was medium or large they probably would've gone to a different sky lake

@Redigit🌳 *What world size is this? /Joke

Upon fixing this could the other extreme please also be taken into account?
In many cases (on small worlds) the space height or more precise the height of space enemies spawning is too near to the surface.
e.g. here Wyvern (and harpies (HM)) can spawn at the surface

Wyvern can spawn if the player is above the dotted line

They can spawn if the spawn tile is less than (worldSurface)*0.45 tiles from top of the world. But the spawn area is up to 46 tiles higher than the player location.
If e.g. worldSurface=300, 0.45*30 = 135. But +46 we get (135+46)/300 = 0.6
0.6 is much deeper than 0.45. This leaves no much area for building, boss fights, arenas or in the case above even surface fishing.

change could be something like spawning tile < (worldSurface)*0.45 - 46

@Cryptic. and @Unftf, can you please add the seeds for your worlds? That will help with testing. Thanks!

I too have wyvern and harpies spawning in my small world like 10 blocks above my spawn

Don't have this world anymore. But here a new one (they are pretty common):
seed: 1.1.2.829444290

They spawn if the player is above the dotted line:
(so almost the whole oasis is above it)
or they spawn if the player is building something or just jumps a little - very annoying

Or some sort of Scarecrow to higher the altitude would be nice too.

And here some extra seed for the surface floating island case:
3.1.2.109969040 (water island above the desert)
