No Spawning on Ice Highways
by RedRam567
No Spawning on Ice Highways is a Fabric server-side mod for 1.20.1 that stops hostile mobs from spawning on certain ice blocks in the Nether and End.
What it does
Mob spawning is disabled on ice, packed ice and blue ice when they appear in the Nether and End. Ice in the Overworld keeps its normal spawning, and frosted ice is left unchanged, so only polar bears spawn there as in vanilla. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Its files target 1.20.1 only, and the source is released under the MIT License.
Key features
Nether and End ice
On the Nether and End dimensions, mobs can no longer appear while standing on ice, packed ice or blue ice.
Overworld unchanged
Ice in the Overworld keeps its vanilla spawning behavior.
Frosted ice unchanged
Frosted ice keeps vanilla spawning, so only polar bears appear on it, as before.
