Hey all,

i suck @ Json but i tried to use the following to make a limit to the total of enemy hostile spawns overall. (or either Dim 0 and -1 and 1)

{

"hostile": true,

"maxcount": 40,

"mincount": 10,

"maxspawndist": 70,

"minspawndist": 21,

"onjoin": true,

"result": "allow"

},

But sadly for some reason it doenst work. What did i do wrong and how can i get a spawn limit on the server of Every type of hostile without having to name every one of them in Spawn.json or Potentialspawn.json?

P.S Want to do the same to Passive Mobs

I'd really like some help with this:

[
{
"mob": ["iceandfire:cyclops"],
"dimension": 0,
"biome": ["minecraft:mesa","minecraft:extreme_hills"],
"result": "allow"
}
]

For some reason I can't get it to work. Anyone know or have had success with Ice and Fire mobs?

.

I'm loving this mod, definitely a huge help to server admins that want to change up anything related to mobs. The basics are pretty easy to get but I am having a few issues I'm hoping I could get help with. They aren't even issues really just trying to understand this mod and json better.

Here is a pastebin link that contains two examples I have questions about.

I would like to be able to declare either a variable or an array at the start of loot.json so that I won't have to type the mob names 50 times but I'm not sure if the mod can handle a variable in loot.json or maybe I am just writing the code wrong, I have very little experience with json but some familiarity with javascript and java.

The second part for the "Zombie" section is two different items with different drop parameters. Will that work like this? Will they both just inherit one of the parameters of the other or will neither work? Would I have to split it up into two "Zombie" sections?

Thank you very much for your time! I also posted the same question to the curseforge overview page so don't feel the need to respond to both should you come across both. Thanks again!

I can't seem to even make a simple example work on my 1.12 modpack. What I'm trying to do (amongst other things) is to stop cyberzombies spawning in dimension 0 and make no normal zombies spawn in dimension 111 as well as making more cyberzombies spawn in dimension 111. So I started on the additional spawn as that looked simple, but I can't make anything happen to the spawn at all. I switched to trying to spawn blazes as that seemed easier to see for testing. The code I have in potentialspawn.json is:

[
{
"dimension": 111,
"mobs": [
{
"mob": "minecraft.blaze",
"weight": 20,
"minlight": 8,
"groupcountmin": 4,
"groupmax": 8
}
]
}
]

Hoping someone can point out my mistake. I've also tried Blaze instead of minecraft.blaze.

Just noticed should be groupcountmax not groupmax. Tried it, made no difference.

So, tried Blaze, minecraft.blaze, minecraft_blaze, minecraft:blaze & net.minecraft.entity.monster.EntityBlaze.

This is the only one that doesn't crash or throw an error in the log file:

[
{
"dimension": 111,
"mobs": [
{
"mob": "Blaze",
"weight": 20,
"minlight": 8,
"groupcountmin": 4,
"groupcountmax": 8
}
]
}
]

But still no spawning of Blazes in dimension 111.

Just wanted to make sure I can get this to work. I'm on 1.12.2, and trying to set rules for multiple mobs. Do I need them in separate sections?

[
	{
		"dimension": 0,
		"mobs":[
		{
			"mob": "fnafmod:Freddy_Fazbear",
			"weight": 10,
			"groupcountmin": 1,
			"groupcountmax": 3
			
		},
		{
			"mob": "fnafmod:Bonnie_Bunny",
			"weight": 10,
			"groupcountmin": 1,
			"groupcountmax": 3
			
		},
		{
			"mob": "fnafmod:Chica_Chicken",
			"weight": 10,
			"groupcountmin": 1,
			"groupcountmax": 3
			
		},
		{
			"mob": "fnafmod:Foxy_Fox",
			"weight": 10,
			"groupcountmin": 1,
			"groupcountmax": 3
			
		}
		]
	}
]

I'm just gonna post this here, it answers several of my questions. In Loot.Json this makes hard to find mobs from vanilla, quark, thaumcraft, thermal foundation drop different storage components from ae2 (which have different item ids) on death. Hopefully this helps someone!

[
  {
	"mob": ["minecraft:zombie_villager","embers:ancient_golem","quark:ashen","quark:dweller","quark:wraith","thermalfoundation:blizz","thermalfoundation:blitz","thermalfoundation:basalz","thaumcraft:brainyzombie"],
	"item": "appliedenergistics2:material@35",
	"itemcount": "1/2-3/4-6"
  },
 
  {
	"mob": ["minecraft:wither_skeleton","thaumcraft:giantbrainyzombie"],
	"item": "appliedenergistics2:material@36",
	"itemcount": "1/2-3/4-6"
  },
  
  {
	"mob": ["WitherBoss","minecraft:ender_dragon"],
	"item": "appliedenergistics2:material@38",
	"itemcount": "1/2-3/4-6"
  }

Hello, I'm looking for some help. (I'm sure everyone is shocked.)

I've found that when I drop a "deny" argument into spawn.json I get a crash.

  {
    "dimension": 0,
    "mob": ["minecraft:horse", "minecraft:polar_bear", "minecraft:blaze"]
    "result": "deny"
  }

or this
  {
    "dimension": 0,
    "mob": "minecraft:blaze"
    "result": "deny"
  }

Both seem to cause a crash on my end.

Caused by: com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Unterminated object at line 5 column 6 path $[0].mob

That's the location where the "deny" is, and I don't understand. Does anyone have any advice?

And now for the praise. Thank you for making this mod, I've been wanting a way to control creature spawns to specific biomes and dimensions for a long time, ever since "just another spawner" went kaput in 1.7. I want to have pegasus in the aether darn it! I want unicorns in my flying sky islands!

I don't think I'm gonna get an answer for this but...

I have a really big fear of endermen!! So I decided to download this mod and I edited the file (spawn.json) to remove endermen.

I said this...

[
{
"mob" ["minecraft:enderman"],
"result": "deny"
}
]

Will this disable endermen from spawning? I also have two more questions, will I still be able to spawn endermen through spawn eggs and a monster spawner, and will they still spawn in the End?

.

I tried to change these spawn rates but it seems not to work correctly. Can anyone help? Btw, this is spawner.json (1.16.5 potentialspawn.json).

		"amount": {
			"minimum": 1,
			"maximum": 1

You need to add a comma after the ] on the mob line and another comma after "minecraft:blaze"
