Frequency = the frequency that CustomMobSpawner will pick that particular mob when it chooses a random spawn. The higher it is, the more "frequent" it will be chosen.
Min - After CMS chooses a spawn, this is the lowest number that this type of mob can spawn at the same time. So if you have 2, then CMS will never spawn less than 2 at a time for this type of creature.
Max - After CMS chooses a spawn, this is the highest number that this type of mob can spawn at the same time. So if set to 5, it will have a chance to spawn up to 5 at the same time.
Chunk - This relates to world gen(as a chunk is generated). So when a chunk is generated, how many spawns can occur at the same time for this particular mob? if set to 1, you should never see more than 1 of the type in that chunk.

If you want more creatures to spawn of a specific type, raise the limits. in this case you would just raise water mobs to a higher number. As for the spawn tick rates, this controls how often CMS will attempt to spawn that specific type of entity. So if you want a ton more spawns for watermobs, you can lower the waterSpawnTickRate. For example, since 20 ticks = 1 second in real time, if you set the tick rate to 1, CMS will attempt to spawn water mobs 20x every second. Our default of 60 means it will spawn a water mob every 3 seconds.

Hope this helps.

????, i have made a little lake with a white dolphin inside it, and i have taken it in and outside the lake many times with a water gate, i dont really understand what is happening to yours : /

Thanks for your feedback.

If I understand you correctly, you have a small body of water - you said small lake - with no exit from it. The dolphin cannot leave the lake. Do you then have a small area connected to the lake which you get to through the water gate ... and your water gate is not letting the dolphin out of its pen? I am wondering if your water gate really does keep the dolphin in its pen, or is the dolphin just swimming around in the lake.

I am located right on the sea, and I have a large pen for my dolphins which is surrounded by the sea and connected to the shore. I put a water gate between the enclosed pen and the sea, and the dolphins just swim right out of the enclosed pen into the sea, never to return. This is why I now have sand blocks instead of the water gate, and this is not a great solution, as I have to break the blocks and replace them every time I want to take a dolphin out of the enclosure. I tried using double doors, but as I said, the dolphins don't want to go through them most of the time, and when I ride them through, they get damaged, sometimes so much so that they die.

The water gate I constructed is not stopping the dolphin from getting out of its pen. Maybe I am not making it properly, or I have heard that water gates do not work in the current version of Minecraft. I am using 1.5.2 right now. I've got my water gate configuration below.

EDIT was for correcting the little section above, as the spaces are not acknowledged, and lines are a bit irregular with using a varied space font.

Please help this dyslexic neophyte.

Open up your chat in-game and type '/gamerule doMobSpawning true'. If you do not have cheats enabled, open your world to LAN and allow cheats.

Quote from DarkImpulses

Press the ESC key go to global mod option into Zharks mo' creatures into custom spawner and there are adjustable bars as to how many spawn at one time it is default set to 250 which is an obnoxious amount especially when playing on hard difficulty.



I did what you suggested it didn't change anything still only vanilla mobs spawning I turned them off in the Custom Spawner options and that didn't change anything either I would still like to play with the vanilla mobs anyway for a steady supply of vanilla items.

Quote from Kye_Duo

check and make sure you did not shut off the use CMS option.

Quote from dwgasdfhb

Can anyone please explain me in a specific way how to lower the spawn rates of every creature? not the chances of individual creatures spawning, but of the general spawn, do i have to lower or the number of animals in the custom spawner options? do i increase or decrease the spawn ticks? Vanilla and MoCreatures animals are spawning a lot, so much that it gets annoying.

Quote from Donosis777

I just installed this mod (on 1.5.2) and when I tried to disable the spawn for the bigogre, I got this.

Every other mob I've tried I can edit no problem, it's just that one mod. What did I do wrong?

Quote from Kye_Duo

overall spawn limits will limit the total numbers of each type of critter/mob. the spawn tick rate is how fast, the higher the number the slower they spawn, it is the ticks between spawn attempts


nothing, it is a known GUI bug, you'll just have to edit the settings in the config file.
