MobFilter lets you limit mob spawning in your world so that you can

  • Create a safe zone around your base where hostile mobs don't spawn
  • Completely prevent certain mobs from ever spawning
  • Prevent mobs from spawning in certain biomes
  • ...and more.

MobFilter uses a flexible, rules-based filtering system. When Minecraft wants to spawn a new mob, MobFilter checks the rules you have configured to see if the spawn should be 'vetoed.'

MobFilter uses the Fabric modloader and is server-only (so it works with vanilla clients)

I will not be doing a Forge version of MobFilter.

Usage

The first time you run Minecraft with the mobfilter jar installed, an empty configuration file will be created in `config/mobfilter.yml`. Just edit this file to set up your rules and they'll take effect the next time you start a world.

Rules can test for several conditions, including:

  • Block Position
  • Location (Biome, World, Dimension, BlockId)
  • Mob Type (EntiyId or SpawnGroup)
  • Time of Day
  • Light Level

See the default configuration file for examples and more detail on setting up rules.

Why This Mod?

I wrote this mod because I wanted to be able to be able to play survival minecraft with my daughter, and that meant we had to have a mob-free area around our base. There are other mods out there that manage mob spawning but none of them did quite what I needed them to do.
