Peaceful Nights

by qendolin

With Peaceful Nights installed, mobs stop spawning on the surface during night thunderstorms, and the change is controlled by a game rule.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyMozilla Public License 2.0Open source1.20.1 – 1.21.5

What it does

A new game rule, doSurfaceSpawning, is set to false by default, so surface mob spawning is switched off during night thunderstorms until an operator turns it back on. While the rule is off, the day cycle behaves as if it were always day for spawning purposes. The change applies only in dimensions with a sky light level: the overworld, the nether and the end. Slime spawning in swamps is also affected. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across seven release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.5.

Only the server needs the mod, since it runs on the server side alone and players join without installing it. The source code is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

Key features

  1. Surface spawning rule

    The doSurfaceSpawning game rule, set to false by default, stops mobs from spawning on the surface during night thunderstorms.

  2. Always-day spawning

    With spawning disabled, the day cycle counts as day for spawn decisions, so the surface stays quiet at night.

  3. Sky-lit dimensions

    The change applies only to dimensions that have sky light, covering the overworld, the nether and the end.

Adds the game rule "doSurfaceSpawning" which is false by default. When disabled mob spawning behaves as if it was always day. No mobs will spawn on the surface at night and during thunderstorms.
