NoSpawn
by bentianjia
NoSpawn lets server operators switch off spawning for chosen mob types using in-game commands, with the choices saved in a persistent config.
What it does
Server administrators name the mob types to block by their registry IDs, for example minecraft:creeper, minecraft:vex or minecraft:phantom, and the mod prevents those types from appearing. The ID must be valid, and the command suggests available mobs once the first word is typed. Vanilla mobs and modded mob types registered in the game both work, and the examples given are only that: any valid ID can be used.
Access is controlled by permission. Holding operator status or a LuckPerms node that matches the command is sufficient to run it, and the nospawn.admin node grants access to the command. The mod supports both ns and nospawn as the command name, and it switches between Chinese and English messages according to each player's game language.
NoSpawn is a server-side mod, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files exist for 1.21.4 – 26.1.1, and the latest Fabric file, 1.0.0+26.1.1, targets 26.1.1.
Key features
Disable selected mob types
Chosen mob types stop spawning, and the list can hold one type or several, so the rest of the world stays unchanged.
Persistent configuration
Disabled mob types are stored in a config file that survives restarts, so the restriction stays in place after the server reboots.
Modded mob support
Vanilla mobs and modded mob types registered in the game can both be disabled by their IDs.
Command suggestions
After the command word is typed, the game offers available mob IDs, which helps avoid mistyped entries.
Permission matching
Operators or players holding a LuckPerms node matching nospawn.admin can run the command, with operator permission as the fallback.
