Hi, I am having trouble figuring out the system and was looking for help in regards to denying and allowing mobs.

this is on version 1.16.5

the context is that I am looking to disable mobs from a mod, in this case Lycanitesmobs, until a certain phase is reached

within my spawn.json file this is what I have so far

[
{
"dimension": "minecraft:overworld",
"mod": "lycanitesmobs",
"result": "deny"
}
]

and this certainly works, but, I thought that doing this afterwards in spawn.json would work
[

{
    "phase": "after_day5",
    "dimension": "minecraft:overworld",
    "mod": "lycanitesmobs",
    "result": "allow"
}

]

however, Lycanitesmobs do not start spawning normally after the 5th day. Is there something i'm missing? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Rules are evaluated in order. From top to bottom. As soon as it reaches that 'deny' rule it will not try further rules as it already found a rule that works. You need to put the allow rule first
