Spawn-Proofed Villagers
by Estecka
Spawn-Proofed Villagers keeps hostile mobs from spawning close to villagers, on Fabric servers.
What it does
Hostile mobs are prevented from spawning near villagers, so a village stays free of monsters in the area around its residents. The protected radius defaults to the same range that the game uses for players, and the spawn-proofing is driven by configured gamerules. Iron Golems and Cats are also prevented from spawning there, because the game already treats them as affected by a player's presence. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric across 19 release versions, 1.19.4 – 1.21.10, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Hostile spawn blocking
Hostile mobs do not spawn in the area around villagers, keeping village streets and trading halls clear.
Default player-range radius
The protected area uses the same radius as the game's player-based spawning by default.
Configured gamerules
Spawn-proofing follows gamerules that server owners can set to adjust how the protection behaves.
