That's kind of the point of what he's trying to do though, I think. I used to have no fear whatsoever of wandering around outside at night. Really, I used to have no fear doing anything, since you could see enemies coming in the vast majority of cave systems so I only really worried about skeletons and their range. Now enemies even spawn in deep mines if there are torches around.

If all else fails just make a moat around whatever you're building. A 1 width empty trench alone will stop most things from getting to you; just have to worry about them timing a jump perfectly to get over it.
