Better Peaceful

by Twobie

Better Peaceful removes most hostile mobs from survival worlds while keeping the progression mobs that players need to finish the game.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.21 – 26.1.2

What it does

Players who want a calmer survival world can use Better Peaceful to stop most hostile mobs from spawning. Mobs needed for progression stay in place, so Blaze Rods and Ender Pearls remain obtainable and the Ender Dragon can still be defeated. The server must run the mod, while players may add it for their own client, and it is licensed under the MIT License, not open source.

Mob control is handled through a configurable blacklist. Server owners can add mob IDs to block them or remove IDs to allow them to spawn. Because the behavior is also delivered as a data pack, it can be used on non-Peaceful Minecraft worlds and servers to disable unwanted mobs without changing the world difficulty.

Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack version is available. Builds cover 1.21 – 26.1.2 across 15 release versions, with 1.0.0+mod for 26.1.2 as the latest file for every loader.

Key features

  1. Hostile mob removal

    Most hostile mobs are prevented from spawning, which leaves survival worlds with fewer fights.

  2. Progression mobs kept

    Mobs needed for major milestones stay enabled, so players can still collect Blaze Rods and Ender Pearls.

  3. Configurable blacklist

    Mob IDs can be added to the blacklist to block them or removed from it to let them spawn again.

  4. Data pack option

    A data pack brings the same feeling of Peaceful Mode to non-Peaceful worlds without removing the chance to complete the game.

Questions

Does Better Peaceful need to be installed on the client?

No. Only the server must run the mod; players may add it to their own client, but a client without it still joins.

Can Better Peaceful be used without changing the world difficulty?

Yes. The data pack version brings a Peaceful-like feeling to non-Peaceful worlds and servers, and the blacklist can disable chosen mobs.

Can the Ender Dragon still be defeated with Better Peaceful?

Yes. Mobs needed to reach and fight the Ender Dragon are kept enabled, so the game can still be completed.
