QuickAdditions StationAPI
by Telvarost
StationAPI Mod Beta is a mod for Minecraft Beta that gives control over how vanilla mobs spawn, despawn and count toward each biome's cap.
What it does
Spawn rules are set per creature type. Server owners can change the maximum spawn capacity for monsters, passive animals and squid, and can tune spawn mechanics for each biome. Living entities can be kept from despawning, and saddled pigs can be excluded from despawning or from counting toward the passive spawn cap, so new passive mobs can fill that capacity.
The mod requires StationAPI and ZastavkaAPI. ZastavkaAPI is used to make music biome- and dimension-specific by reading the current background music. It is open source under the MIT License and published for b1.7.3 with Fabric and Babric loaders, with snapshot builds available. Either side can run it, and neither needs it.
Key features
Biome spawn control
Vanilla entity spawning can be changed per biome, including which mobs appear and how often.
Spawn capacity limits
The maximum spawn capacity for monsters, passive animals and squid can each be set to a different value.
Despawn settings
Living entities can be prevented from despawning, and saddled pigs can be handled separately.
Passive spawn counting
Saddled pigs can be excluded from the passive spawn count so other passive mobs fill the capacity.

Use cases
Tuning survival mob density
A server owner can raise or lower the spawn cap for hostile mobs and animals to change how crowded a world feels.
Keeping player-owned animals
Saddled pigs can be kept from despawning, so mounts a player has tamed stay in place.
Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack authors running Minecraft Beta who want to adjust how vanilla mobs spawn and despawn.
How it compares
Animal breeding mod adds breeding behavior for Babric and runs on the client and server, which makes it a different kind of change from spawn control. DontDespawn is server-side only and published for 1.20.4 – 1.20.6 on Fabric, with no Babric build, and it is not open source. I Died, My Items Didn't (IDMID) is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and built for 1.20 – 1.21.1 on Fabric.
