On a forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1230 server, I have the difficulty set to 1. I used gamerule doMobSpawning false to disable mobs from spawning. I switched the difficulty to peaceful and back to easy and mob immediately start spawning. The same happens in an SSP world. The only mods installed are carpenter's blocks and Mo' Creatures. Anyone know what's wrong?

Mo'Creatures may have its own settings overriding the global ones. Have you checked its config file?

No idea why I didn't think about searching around config files earlier. I found a Mo' Creatures.cfg which allows me to disable each mob's ability to spawn individually. I can't imagine life without notepad++, but I just replaced all lines that said canspawn=true and replaced them with canspawn=false. However, THEY STILL SPAWN. Vanilla and Mo' Creatures. I'll try removing Mo' Creatures too.
Removing Mo' Creatures indeed did fix the problem. But I really would like to keep Mo' Creatures. Can anyone snoop around the configs maybe and see if they can find a fix?

Hmm there should be a global spawn and spawn rate option in the mo'creatures config from what I remember. But if not, ask the author. He'll best be able to tell you how to get around this annoying problem.

I found many different places in different Mo' Creatures configs where there were different ways to disable spawning, but not a single one of them (at least 3 ways) worked. I'll try contacting the mod author.
