Mini-Farm and Monsters Spawning

So, I built a tiny farm (water under ground and a couple of plants), nothing too serious yet as I hadn't gathered much at this point. I get the crops planted and the water down, leave to grab something, come back and my garden is now over-ran with all manner of creatures and treasure chests out of the blue! What in the world caused this? Just planting those few tiny vegetables and mushrooms? I don't recall this happening in the past.

Do you have a screenshot, preferably including a large enough area to show the immediate surroundings of the farm as well?

Funny you should ask! I just managed to clean all the monsters up and got a nice screen cap... give me a sec to get it.

Exception made for the possibly buggy leafies, mobs shouldn't spawn _inside_ that enclosure, though they may probably still walk in - mobs are able to jump 2 blocks up just fine, so those 2-blocks-tall pillars with the light on top may not be a barrier to them (I don't remember whether that specific lamp is solid or not).

On the other hand. fences and gates don't need to be doubled up - even if they're 1 block tall, fences can't be jumped by mobs.

Treasure chests may not have any problem spawning in, you can check the reference (ESC screen while in a world, there's a "Reference" button in that list) and then look up the treasures you're getting to see their spawning conditions.

As a sidenote, you could (and probably should) just claim the spot - claimed areas automatically turn spawning off (though you could also re-enable it on the claim settings if you wish) - claiming is a good habit regardless, for one to avoid losing track of a spot, and possibly to protect it from any undesired damage (say, setting off an excavator or TNT by mistake, or other players making a mess if you're playing multiplayer).

You know, I have nearly 400 hours in this game but step away from it a lot and come back after a lengthy break (causing me to forget everything about it). The one thing I think I have never understood was the claiming thing as I only ever play Solo. Thank you, I see why that would actually be a good thing to start doing.
