This mod gives you the option to despawn vanilla creatures in the same way they did in 1.7.3
For the aggressive mobs (i.e. Creepers) you can use the ModLoader.removeSpawn method

Unfortunately I don't know that that method entails, can you please be a bit more descriptive? Sorry for the dumb request, but I've only started playing MC during 1.8.1 and I don't know what it was like previously.

this is referring to using Java code to make your own Mod, he was telling me that the option to de-spawn aggressive Mobs in the Vanilla MC (like Creepers) was removed and if I needed to I could make my own mod and use that. it was a polite way of saying it

I'm not a programmer but thx to him I am trying to learn, and i wish he would re-installl the option in the next update. it was a very useful option, I would Turn off Creepers and Enderman because they are the only Vanilla mobs that destroy Blocks and i would turn off Ogres as well for same reason. be cause i love to fight large amount of mobs but I also love building complex redstone contraptions but i don't enjoy fixing the complex redstone contraptions

I have no clue why he took the option out, either. It was the only reason i downloaded the mod to begin with. Mind if I add you to my friends list? If you're successful with your mod to put the vanilla mob control function back into mo'Creatures 2.14.2, I will give you ALL THE THINGS to let me try it out! 'Till then I just can't upgrade to the newest version. Which makes me a sad little taco.

You make some pretty awesome mods. Nice work

I'll add that option again to the next version of Mo'Creatures

@ DrZhark

As I understand from your OP, this is a mod for mob modders (sorry for the alliteration) to use so they can 'fix' some sort of despawning nerf. My question is, is there a use/benefit for lay people like me for everyday play? ie:

- How does this affect/differ the current 1.0.0 gameplay?
- How do i access it's features? Is there a GUI for settings (like Mo'Creatures) or is there some line of code i need to customize in a cfg or is this like an API with nothing for me to actually use/modify?

Apologies if I'm being a little dense here but just I'm trying to wrap my head around whether or not I should install this (w/ or even w/o Mo'Creatures) and then how would i go about using it?

I'm running a server through a 3rd party host, and since you have recently stated that you will have Mo'Creatures updated for 1.0.0 and it will require this mod, I am wondering how to get it installed on said server.

I do not have direct access to the servers minecraft.jar, but I can access just about everything else directly.

Looking in the .zip, I see one .class and two .java files.

Can I simply drop those somewhere in the server's files? Or perhaps just drop the .zip into the Server's Mods folder?

Thank you for the help.

Edit:

Ah, nevermind. It looks like the SMP version of Mo'Creatures is off the table indefinitely.

Oh, crud. Now I can't run Twilight Forest until this is updated. Argh, I guess I'm stuck with Mo' Creatures 2.14.1.

That pic at the bottom of your comment is a quiver, it is what arrows are stored in on an archers back

Thank you, Dr. Zhark, for putting the despawning as an option and not a forced feature. I happen to like mah farm animals.

[forceofnature]

I'm afraid the link for 1.0.0 puts me on an endless loop. Mirror?

[RaustBlackDragon]

I've received reports that DTDoggies are despawning again with your mod installed, despite the fact that I fixed this in the 1.8.1 version. The only thing that's changed since then is customMobSpawner, so I suspect that it might be the issue. Does this API cause mobs not using the API to despawn like 1.7.3, even if they have their own despawning conditions?

Hi everybody!

I am using the dynamic height mod to play with maps taller than 128 blocks and I have noticed that none of the mo'creatures mobs will spawn at all in maps that are taller than 128. Since the spawning of mo'creatures is heavily reliant on this custom mob spawner, I thought it would be prudent to post a bug-report here as well.

Thank you for your time in reading my bugreport and I eagerly await a response ^.^

[Lueashk]

Thank you for this tool DrZhark!

Mods that increase the height limit are not compatible with this mod. In the file CustomSpawner.java, on line 71 there is this line of code:

int l = world.rand.nextInt(128);

I suggest replacing it with:

int l = world.rand.nextInt(world.worldHeight);

worldHeight is the field for the height limit. It is by default 128.

I have a mod which changes the height limit and people are complaining that Mo' Creatures doesn't work with it, so could you fix this? Thanx.

[Leggerrr]

How does the recently added Animal Breeding work with this? Do they despawn now?

[Tipman2]

This mod is great! I'm trying to get Mo' Creatures in too.

[Scurby]

You my sir have won again! Good job <3

[superant1996]

Could you add an alternative download link such as Sorceforge

Also a Great mod!

[Zoriac2]

Will Cave Spiders be added to the list of Mobs you can turn on and off?

This would certainly make sence - in maps large than 128 blocks tall... let's say 256 blocks tall, the custom spawned creatures will only spawn between levels 1 and 128... So you'll have regular animals above ground and custom animals in the water and caves underground in a 256 map.

I can't wait for this to get fixed. It's really the only reason why I'm not playing minecraft... it just seems boring having 16 times the amount of space in a 2048 map, but no animals except sparsely populated pigs and cows and chickens and junk. It will be awesome when I can play properly in my big maps ^.^
