Special Day Events (Data Pack)

This is an add-on that works in combination with another data pack "Special Mobs (spmdpi is 3.x)", which adds numerous mobs with unique abilities to Minecraft.

Working Principle

I created this data pack because some mobs in the overworld were too powerful for beginners. To solve this issue, I divided all special mobs into three categories, each appearing on specific event days. When the sun rises, the day events change.

Installation Setup

For the pack to function correctly, you need to delete the file data/spm_dpi/tags/functions/nature_spawn/in/overworld.json from the "special mobs" data pack.

Mob Classes by Days

• Magic day: ender phantom, skeleton lord, warp enderman, fire creeper, lightning creeper, black widow.

• RPG day: barbarian, ninja, ice shooter, robbery, miner, sailor.

• Undead day: no special mobs, but with increased numbers of undead creatures (zombies, skeletons, drowned).

• Peaceful day: no special mobs.

Important Details

This data pack only modifies the spawning rules for special mobs in the overworld. If you don't like a particular class of mobs, you can simply skip that night by sleeping.
