Shriek Control
by WiselyWisp
Shriek Control lets server owners decide exactly which mobs spawn when a Sculk Shrieker is activated in the Deep Dark, and with what potion effects.
What it does
Normally a Sculk Shrieker summons a fixed set of monsters. This NeoForge mod replaces that default with configurable spawn lists, so a world can have waves of Creepers, armies of Skeletons, or a mix chosen by the server. Vanilla mobs and mobs from other mods can both be placed in these lists, and each spawn can be given potion effects to change how dangerous it is.
The mod suits adventure maps, custom survival gameplay and multiplayer servers that need the Deep Dark tuned to their own balance. Builders can create terrifying encounters with controlled mob events, and the same settings can be used to keep a shared server fair. It is built for NeoForge and runs on 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released under the MIT License. The mod is not open source.
Client and server: the server and every player need it, so both sides must run the mod. It is published for NeoForge only, on 1.21.1. Compatibility with Corrosive Sculk Hippos is noted by the author.
Key features
Configurable spawn lists
Each Sculk Shrieker activation can draw from lists the server owner edits, changing which mobs appear.
Vanilla and modded mobs
Spawn lists accept both vanilla mobs and mobs added by other mods.
Potion effects on spawns
Individual spawns can be given potion effects, adding strength or weakness to the encounter.
Adjustable Deep Dark danger
Monster spawns from the Deep Dark can be reshaped, making the area more customizable and less predictable.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Adventure maps
Map makers can set exact mobs and effects for each Shrieker, building controlled scripted encounters.
Custom survival
Survival worlds can use altered spawn lists to change how hard the Deep Dark feels.
Multiplayer balance
Server owners can adjust the Deep Dark to suit their player base without editing vanilla data.
Who it’s for: Map makers, survival world builders and server owners who want to control Deep Dark encounters rather than accept the vanilla defaults.

What the author says
Shriek Control lets you decide exactly what happens when a Sculk Shrieker is activated. Instead of the default behavior, you can configure which monsters spawn, making the Deep Dark more customizable, chaotic, or strategic than ever before. You can also decide wether entities spawn with potion effects as a bonus…
