Same issue here. I spend 6 hours modifying the entry as I thought that some wordings or so, might be a problem. Adding keywords, changing name and so on... I wish I had checked the forum earlier, so that I would have not trashed so much of my free time.
Same here, hope it get solve before next week, im trying to start using Above VTT and kinda need the homebrew monster builder for that … guess ill stick to my previous VTT a little longer..
I have the same problem. It seems to have started for me on or about 3/24/2023. Only new homebrew monsters are not available in encounter builder. They do show up on my list of homebrew monsters, though. This problem doesn't seem to affect items, spells, or feats.
Same here, no clue what's going on, annoying too since I spent so long making a fully custom monster for my group, only reason I made it was so I could use it on the encounters builder on this site, I'm better off just using a third party website.
Ok, thought it was me and I was loosing my mind. Had same issue couple of weeks ago, and when I checked days later, I found them to be available in the encounter builder so I thought I was making a mistake. So went on to spend 2 hours creating a whole bunch of homebrewed creatures out of a 3rd party module, and the went to add them to dndbeyond and can't find them (see my older ones from a week ago). Definitely a bug. Hoping I didn't waste by 2 hours? How is it suppose to work?
Glad to have found this topic and i'm not going crazy, made a new monster on friday last week, checked encounter builder today and still not showing up. guess it will be a while for a fix so will have to hope my players don't get far enough through without me needing that monster and anything else in the mean time i am going to have to do old school
I too have created a homebrew monster that doesn't populate in Encounter Builder. It's been more than 12 hours, and the monster exists in My Creations and in My Collection. Older monsters are fine. I really want this capability, and hope it hasn't been removed.
I am also having an issue with this - pulled in some homebrew monsters from the community search page, and they're in my collections but are not populating in the encounter builder. I can see older monsters I added months ago, but none that I added today to use.
It seems to have been fixed. I tested again this afternoon and it is now working for me with the same home brew monsters that didn’t show in the Encounter Builder before. Unfortunately, I already had to cancel my game on Saturday. But hopefully it remains fixed so I can have a game this coming weekend.
I am having this issue as of tonight. I created the monster about a month ago. Any thoughts?
EDIT: I GOT AROUND IT BY ELIMINATING ALL OF MY FILTERS. I KEEP A PREBUILT ENCOUNTER THAT IS FILTERED FOR SOURCES I OWN AS I HATE HAVING ALL OF THE MONSTERS THAT ARE UNAVAILABLE TO ME SHOW UP. PERHAPS WOTC ADDED ANOTHER FILTER FOR HOMEBREWTHAT I NEED TO ADD?
Same issue here! Real pain in the arse since I'm supposed to be running the encounter in an hour.

Same error. Logged a ticket.

Same here. The ones I created last week or earlier are fine. Recent creations I can't find at all. Probably something they did with the code.
I am having the same issue and its really frustrating... I planed to run this encounter and now I will have to do so manually...
Hopefully this gets fixed soon

I just changed the alignment of my monster from "Unaligned" to "Typically Chaotic Evil" and it worked. Worth a try, perhaps.

Is it working for the rest of you?
It is working for me.
It is now working for me as well.
I had sent in a support ticket and got a response late yesterday that the issue was fixed. Appears to be working for me now as well.
I checked again this morning and the new monsters i created are now showing in the encounter builder
