Major Update: Complete System Overhaul
This update completely rewrites the mod to offer total, precise, and high-performance control over creature spawning, regardless of your game version.
New Features
Filter by Spawn Source
You can now choose exactly how a mob is blocked:
- natural: Blocks natural spawning (night, caves, biomes).
- spawner: Blocks monster spawners (Standard & Trial Spawners).
- egg: Blocks spawn eggs (players and dispensers).
- command: Blocks summons via /summon.
- all: Blocks everything, no exceptions.
Inverted Logic (Whitelist)
Use the exclamation mark (!) to allow an exception.
- Example:
!spawnerwill block everything (natural, egg...) except spawners.
Preset System
Block entire categories with a single command.
- Available categories: monsters, creatures (animals), ambient (bats...), water (fish), and misc.
Global Settings
Apply rules to the entire server using the global command (e.g., block natural spawning everywhere).
New Admin Commands
/spawnblocker add <mob> <rules>: Adds or modifies a rule./spawnblocker list: Cleanly displays all active rules./spawnblocker reload: Instantly reloads the configuration (no restart needed)./spawnblocker reset: Completely resets and clears the configuration.
Performance & Configuration
- Optimized code for zero impact on server performance.
- Configuration saved cleanly in JSON format (
config/spawnblocker.json).
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
