Revert Passive Spawns

by AzyLooper

Revert Passive Spawns changes how passive animals such as pigs, cows, frogs and pandas are spawned, returning them to the older rules used in the early game.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.18 – 26.3

What it does

Passive animals such as pigs, cows, frogs and pandas spawn under the older rules, which were in place before later versions changed them. The change matters on a server, where mob farms and chunk loading were shaped by the newer behavior, so the outcome differs from current spawning. Only the server needs the mod; players join without installing anything. Mod Menu is an optional dependency that can be added alongside it. Files are published for Fabric only, across 32 release versions 1.18 – 26.3, and the code is released under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Older passive spawn rules

    Passive mobs spawn using the older rules from the early game rather than the rules used in later releases.

  2. Passive animal coverage

    The change applies to pigs, cows, frogs, pandas and the other passive entities in the spawn tables.

  3. Mob farm impact

    Mob farms and food supply behave differently, since passive animals must be generated and found under the older rules.

What the author says

Revert Passive Spawns is a really simple mod that modifies how every passive entities (such as Pigs, Cows, Frogs, Pandas, etc...) spawn. This pretty much means mob farms are no longer required and you no longer need to generate new chunks in order to get food.
