Stray Spawn

by Serilum

Stray Spawn lets skeletons spawn as strays in places where the vanilla game only produces strays in ice biomes.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.16.5 – 26.3

What it does

A configurable chance decides how often a skeleton spawns as the stray variant, with the default set to 0.25 and the range running from 0 to the maximum. Strays can then appear across ordinary biomes rather than only in ice terrain. The mod requires Collective and runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 26.3, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Natural stray spawns

    Strays can spawn naturally in places where skeletons already appear, not only in ice biomes.

  2. Adjustable spawn chance

    The chanceSkeletonIsStray setting controls how many skeletons become strays, from 0 to the maximum.

  3. Minimal scope

    The mod changes only which skeletons appear as strays, leaving other mob behavior as it is.

How it compares

Full comparison

No Stray is the opposite approach and removes strays entirely, with files for 1.13 – 1.21.11 that need the server and leave the client optional. Stray drop blue ice is open source under the MIT License and runs only on the server, with Fabric files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4.

What the author says

Stray Spawn is a minimalistic configurable mod which adds a chance for strays to spawn naturally everywhere instead of a skeleton spawn. By default in the vanilla game they can only spawn in ice biomes, but they are too cool looking to not have them everywhere. chanceSkeletonIsStray default 0.25, min 0, max 1.0 The…
