Vertical Spawn Control

This addon for Cubic Chunks provides the ability to configure mob spawning by vertical coordinates and block standard creature appearance in specific zones.

Getting Started

The mod requires prior installation of CubicChunks. There is no configuration interface - all settings are managed through JSON files.

Spawn Configuration

Download the configuration file template, edit it according to your needs, and place it in one of the following directories:

• For single player: <minecraft_dir>/saves/<world_name>/data/vertical_spawn_control/
• For server: <minecraft_forge_dedicated_server_dir>/world/data/vertical_spawn_control/

Alternative option - use the special VSCPreset Editor for creating and editing presets.

Operation Features

• In specified ranges, standard spawning can be disabled via the "block_natural_spawn" : true parameter
• Mob spawners are not affected by the modification
• After spawning, mobs can freely move outside the spawn zone
• One mob type can be added to multiple different layers
• Mobs from other mods are supported by specifying the correct registry key in the "class" field

Spawn Conditions

• min_light_level and max_light_level - define the light level range for spawning
• only_in_biomes and exclude_biomes - restrict spawning to specific biomes or exclude them
• Biome conditions apply to the entire layer, not individual spawns

Configuration File Locations

The mod loads settings from the following files:

• Overworld: <minecraft_dir>/saves/<world_name>/data/vertical_spawn_control/vertical_spawn_control.json
• Nether: <minecraft_dir>/saves/<world_name>/DIM-1/data/vertical_spawn_control/vertical_spawn_control.json
• End: <minecraft_dir>/saves/<world_name>/DIM1/data/vertical_spawn_control/vertical_spawn_control.json

Files with other names in these folders are ignored. If no settings are present, the mod has no effect on mob spawning.

Additional Features

Through NBT data, you can configure loot tables for creature deaths, including creating custom variants.
