hostile mobcap 1000
Hostile mobcap 1000 raises the hostile mob cap so that zombies and other hostile mobs spawn in far greater numbers in a world.
What it does
The mod increases the hostile mob cap from 70 to 1000, so a loaded area can hold many more hostile mobs than vanilla allows. Zombies are the mobs most players will notice first. Stealth becomes more useful, since the world fills with enemies and quiet movement matters more. It is a server-side only Forge mod for 1.20.1, and only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. The code is released under the MIT License, but the mod is not open source.
Key features
Higher hostile mob cap
The hostile mob cap rises from 70 to 1000, allowing far more hostile mobs to exist in a loaded area.
Zombie-heavy worlds
Zombies fill the world in large numbers, which makes stealth a practical way to avoid them.
Structure-free spawning
The cap change applies to mob spawning itself, not to structures, so the mod leaves structure generation alone.
