MobManagement
by Meiste-r
MobManagement lets players stop certain mobs from spawning with specific items, and a menu with a key press manages the item selection.
What it does
The mod is built around item-based spawn control. Players and server owners can choose items that prevent mobs from spawning when those items are present, which changes how a world fills with monsters. Armor and weapon items such as leather, chainmail, iron, golden and diamond armor, along with iron swords and iron shovels, are part of the item selection.
Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on Fabric only. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files cover 1.20.1 – 1.21 across seven release versions, and the latest Fabric build, 1.0.1 for 1.21, was published on 2024-07-26 on the beta channel. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Item-based spawn prevention

Selection menu
Pressing the right shift key opens an item selection menu where the spawn rules are chosen.
Early development

Use cases
Survival spawn tuning
A player who wants fewer monsters around a base can exclude mobs tied to particular gear from appearing.
Server rule setup
Server owners can decide which item-based spawn rules apply to the world before players join.
Who it’s for: Players who want to shape which mobs appear in survival worlds, and server owners who manage spawn behavior on a Fabric server.
How it compares
Stronger Mobs is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.20 – 1.21.10, so it differs in environment and version coverage. Custom Mob Spawns is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.19.3 – 1.21.1, and it works on either side, with neither needing it. Nocreepers works only on 1.21.11 and is not open source, which sets it apart in both version and license.

What the author says
Please note: This mod is in very early development and bugs are to be expected. More mobs are going to be added to the mod and the gui will improve. Press right shift to enter the item selection menu. And yes, the Mob Managenemt message says Zombie Management. Why? Im to lazy to fix it.
