Mob Blacklist
by Drypted
Mob Blacklist lets server owners stop chosen mobs from spawning, with changes made directly from in-game chat or commands.
What it does
A server operator adds or removes mob types from a blacklist while the server is running, so the listed mobs no longer appear in the world. The changes are entered through chat or commands rather than by editing a configuration file, which keeps adjustments on a live server quick. Only the server needs the mod, and players join without installing anything.
The mod is built for Fabric and depends on Fabric API, which must be installed alongside it on the server. Files are published for 1.21.1, 1.21.11 and 26.1.2, and the latest build, 1.0.0 for 26.1.2, was released on 2026-06-02. The source code is available under the MIT License, so the project is open source and can be inspected or modified. Forge and newer 1.21.x support is noted by the author as planned, but it is not part of the current files.
Key features
Mob spawn blacklist
Chosen mob types are blocked from spawning inside the world, which removes them from natural generation on the server.
Chat and command control
The blacklist is edited with chat commands, so changes take effect without restarting the server.
Live adjustments
Entries can be added or removed while the server runs, making it practical to tune mob behavior as a world develops.
Fabric API dependency
The mod relies on Fabric API for its hooks into the game, so that library must be present on the server.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners and operators who run Fabric servers for 26.1.2 and want to control which mobs spawn, without editing files between sessions.
How it compares
NoMobSpawn is server-side only, licensed under the MIT License, and published for Fabric across 1.21 – 26.3, so it covers a wider version span. Mobs Are Gone is a client and server mod for Fabric and NeoForge with files for 1.21.1 – 26.1.2, and its license is All rights reserved, so its source is not available. NoSpawn is open source under the MIT License, targets Fabric for 1.21.4 – 26.1.1, and needs the server while the client stays optional.
