Every time there is a horde they spawn right on top of the player and it makes it annoying to do anything when you are suddenly insta-killed by 20 zombies. Are they supposed to spawn like that? If possible. I believe it would be better to have the horde spawn in a configurable radius around the player.

Forgot to include mod and forge versions
The hordes: 1.4.1
Forge: 36.2.9
MC:1.16.5

Fixed in atlas lib version 1.16.5-1.1.3.a.

Update the dependency if you haven't already.

No, this is a bug, I'll look into it and try and get it fixed.

Alright Thank you

Same problem here. They even spawn on the player in creative, regardless of y level as well. Not sure if that little tidbit of info will help, but I figured I'd say something

Reopened for consistency because further issues with this have been discovered and fixed.
