Mob Spawning Light Level
by furgl
A server owner can choose the light level that hostile mobs need before they spawn, using one game rule named mobSpawningLightLevel.
What it does
The mod adds the gamerule mobSpawningLightLevel, which controls the light level at which hostile mobs spawn. Setting it to 0 allows spawns only in complete darkness, and higher values let mobs appear in areas that are lit to some degree. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric on 1.16.5 and 1.17.1, with 1.2.0 for 1.17.1 as the latest file. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Spawn light gamerule
Hostile mobs spawn at whatever light level the mobSpawningLightLevel game rule is set to.
Full darkness spawns
At level 0, mobs spawn only in completely unlit areas, and lit areas stay free of spawns.
Adjustable threshold
Higher gamerule values allow spawns in dimmer areas, so the threshold can be tuned to a world's needs.
