sightseeing
by a_JiaoZi
Sightseeing is a Fabric server mod that stops most hostile mobs from spawning naturally while leaving the Ender Dragon fight available.
What it does
The mod only allows a fixed set of mobs to spawn. Zombies, skeletons, creepers, spiders, witches and similar common hostile mobs are prevented from spawning, which keeps monsters away from buildings, villages and player activity areas. Sightseeing does not disable mobs or block terrain, so the normal survival progression still works.
Several key mobs needed to complete the game are kept, so players can continue progressing and reach the End fight against the Ender Dragon. Server owners can run it on multiplayer building or casual survival servers, and singleplayer players who want fewer monsters interfering with construction can use it too. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything.
The project is a utility mod for Minecraft Java Edition, released under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Files exist for Fabric only, for 11 release versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.2.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, published 2026-06-21. The author developed it specifically for Minecraft 1.21.1 and notes that higher versions are not tested, so players should test newer versions first.

What the author says
观光 是一个面向 Minecraft 服务器和单人存档的功能型 Mod，主要作用是禁止绝大多数敌对生物自然生成，从而减少怪物对建筑、地形、村庄和玩家活动区域造成的干扰。 与普通的“禁怪”类 Mod 不同，观光并不会完全删除所有敌对生物，也不会阻断正常的生存流程。它会保留通关过程中可能需要用到的关键生物，让玩家仍然可以正常推进游戏进度、前往末地并挑战末影龙。
