Please don't modify or supply the CustomSpawner file with your mod, redirect users to this thread or put the
http://adf.ly/4zA0M link in your own thread. Thanks!
You have to create an instance of the CustomSpawner class, and specify the limits for Mobs, Animals and Aquatic mobs. Then you add the custom spawns in a similar way as Risugami's ModLoader. However you only need to specify the weighted random frequency 'freq'.
You can see how is done by looking at this example:
If you have any questions, post in this thread.
package net.minecraft.src;
import java.util.Map;
import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
public class mod_example extends BaseMod
{
public mod_example()
{
ModLoader.SetInGameHook(this, true, false); //sets the hook to use OnTickInGame
ModLoader.RegisterEntityID(MyMob.class, "MyMob", ModLoader.getUniqueEntityId());
ModLoader.RegisterEntityID(MyAnimalMob.class, "MyAnimalMob", ModLoader.getUniqueEntityId());
ModLoader.RegisterEntityID(MyAquaticMob.class, "MyAquaticMob", ModLoader.getUniqueEntityId());
myCustomSpawner = new CustomSpawner(); //initializes the instance of the spawner
myCustomSpawner.setMaxMobs(50); //sets the maximum number of custom mobs
myCustomSpawner.setMaxAnimals(40); //sets the maximum number of custom peaceful mobs
myCustomSpawner.setMaxAquatic(30); //sets the maximum number of custom aquatic mobs
int freq = 10;
//freq is a weighted random choice. It depends on the other freqs of the list.
//The higher this number, the higher the chance of that particular mob to spawn
//adds MyAnimalMob to the three specified biomes
myCustomSpawner.AddCustomSpawn(MyAnimalMob.class, freq, EnumCreatureType.creature, new BiomeGenBase[] {
BiomeGenBase.forest, BiomeGenBase.plains, BiomeGenBase.taiga });
//adds 'MyAnimalMob' to all the biomes except Hell and Sky
myCustomSpawner.AddCustomSpawn(MyAnimalMob.class, freq, EnumCreatureType.creature);
//adds 'MyMob' to Hell
myCustomSpawner.AddCustomSpawn(MyMob.class, freq, EnumCreatureType.monster, new BiomeGenBase[] { BiomeGenBase.hell });
//adds 'MyMob' to all biomes except Hell and Sky
myCustomSpawner.AddCustomSpawn(MyMob.class, freq, EnumCreatureType.monster);
//adds 'MyAquaticMob' to the Ocean and River biomes
myCustomSpawner.AddCustomSpawn(MyAquaticMob.class, freq, EnumCreatureType.waterCreature, new BiomeGenBase[] {
BiomeGenBase.ocean, BiomeGenBase.river });
//this overwrites the frequency of the MyAquaticMob in the river biome only:
myCustomSpawner.AddCustomSpawn(MyAquaticMob.class, 5, EnumCreatureType.waterCreature, new BiomeGenBase[] {
BiomeGenBase.river });
//this removes MyAnimalMob from the biome plains
myCustomSpawner.RemoveCustomSpawn(MyAnimalMob.class, EnumCreatureType.creature, new BiomeGenBase[] {
BiomeGenBase.plains });
//and this removes MyAnimalMob from all the biomes
myCustomSpawner.RemoveCustomSpawn(MyAnimalMob.class, EnumCreatureType.creature);

//how often to perform this code? change 100L. the higher the number, the less frequent

//this is what you would normally need to make your mod behave like it did on Minecraft 1.7
myCustomSpawner.doCustomSpawning(mc.theWorld, mc.gameSettings.difficulty > 0, true);
//the settings here are: the current world, spawns mobs, spawns peaceful creatures
//this code will randomly spawn MyAnimalMob up to 15 times
myCustomSpawner.doSpecificSpawning(mc.theWorld, MyAnimalMob.class, 15, EnumCreatureType.creature);
//There are also methods to despawn vanilla creatures:
//this code reactivates the despawning of vanilla creatures as in Minecraft 1.7
int despawned = myCustomSpawner.despawnMob(mc.theWorld);
System.out.println("despawned " + despawned + " vanilla mobs");
//the despawnMob method, checks the distance of the mob to the player or the 'age' of the mob
//and will despawn vanilla animals that are far away from the player or old enough
//this one despawns wolves, it will ignore tamed wolves, the ones who are near the player and the ones who are not 'old' enough
myCustomSpawner.despawnMob(mc.theWorld, EntityWolf.class);
//or you can provide a list:
myCustomSpawner.despawnMob(mc.theWorld, EntityChicken.class, EntitySheep.class);
//you can also count the number of a particular entity, and despawn but keeping a minimum number of creatures:
if(mc.theWorld.countEntities(EntitySheep.class) >10)
{
int y = myCustomSpawner.despawnMobWithMinimum(mc.theWorld, EntitySheep.class, 10);
System.out.println("despawning " + y + " sheep");
}
//the above code counts the number of sheep, if the number is greater than 10, it will
//despawn sheep while leaving 10 alive.
}

Also, don't forget to add this override to your EntityAnimals, so they despawn.
@Override
protected boolean canDespawn()
{
return true;
}
