I added InControl in hopes to limit/eliminate passive mobs from spawning. I used this script in the spawn config folder:
[
{
"passive": true,
"dimension": 0,
"onjoin": true,
"result": "deny"
}
]

However, I didn't realize this would also prevent passive mobs from spawning even when using the spawn egg. I switched the "result" line to "allow" and this did not fix the issue. I tried a few other things all with the same result. I resorted to removing the mod and its config folder in hopes to start over, but the effect is still in the game even with it gone. plz help

In Control can literally not do anything if it is not in the game so that's impossible. My guess is something else is going on.
