Mob Repellent
by nurogt
Mob Repellent adds Braziers, blocks that stop hostile mobs from spawning in a set radius around a base once they are lit with flint and steel or a fire charge.
What it does
A Brazier is lit with flint and steel or a fire charge and then prevents mob spawns inside a spherical radius. Terracotta Braziers cover 40 blocks, Stone Braziers 20 blocks, and Wooden Braziers protect the surroundings of a base at a smaller range. The stated radius for the Terracotta and Stone variants is the reference point for planning placement, and the radius values can be changed in the configuration file.
Braziers need maintenance. A lit Brazier can extinguish itself at random after it has prevented a spawn, and it can be put out by hand with a water bucket. Players who want to keep an area clear must relight them over time. The mod is installed on the client and the server, so both sides need it to run.
Mob Repellent runs on Fabric and NeoForge. Its latest files are for 1.21.1, and the mod has release builds across 1.21.1 – 26.1.1. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Spawn prevention around a base
Lit Braziers stop hostile mobs from spawning within their radius, which keeps a built area quieter at night.
Three Brazier types
Wooden, Stone and Terracotta Braziers cover increasing radii, so each can be placed to fit the size of a base.
Simple crafting recipes
Each Brazier is crafted from common materials such as coal, cobblestone, sticks and amethyst or echo shards.
Self-extinguishing blocks
A Brazier may burn out by itself after blocking a spawn, and a water bucket puts it out on demand.
