FabricServer-side onlyCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen source1.21.11

What it does

The mod disables natural monster spawns that happen in low light levels. Mob spawners, structures and other spawn sources keep working as before. Its author plans to make it somewhat more configurable later. Only the server needs it, and players can join without installing anything. Builds target Fabric for 1.21.11 only, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is open source.

Key features

  1. Dark spawns disabled

    Hostile mobs no longer appear naturally when the light level is low around the player.

  2. Spawners left alone

    Mob spawners and structure spawns are not affected by the change.

  3. Small footprint

    The mod is small in scope and changes a single spawning rule.

What the author says

Disables mobs spawning from low light levels, while leaving spawns from mob spawners and structures untouched. I plan on expanding and making this a bit more configurable in the future, mostly just made this to break programming block.
