About Mobs Blocker

From Modrinth

Mobs Blocker is a simple and effective admin tool to prevent any mob from spawning on your server via a simple command.

Mobs Blocker

Advanced Spawn Control for Your Server

NeoForge GitHub MCreaHub License

Mobs Blocker has been completely re-architected to give you granular control over entity spawning. Stop mobs based on specific conditions (natural spawns, spawners, eggs) or apply rules globally across mob categories.

⚠️ UPDATE NOTICE: This mod has been rewritten and currently ONLY supports version 1.2.0. For version 1.1.0, please check the GitHub repository. Versions below 1.1.0 are no longer supported.


🚀 How It Works & Core Features

The Logic System

Mobs Blocker intercepts every entity spawn attempt and checks rules in this specific order:

  1. Specific Rules: Is there a rule for this exact Entity ID? (e.g., minecraft:zombie)
  2. Preset Rules: If not, is there a rule for its Category? (e.g., monsters)
  3. Global Rules: If not, is there a Global rule set?

Key Features

  • Granular Control: Block mobs based on how they spawn (Natural, Spawners, Eggs, Commands).
  • Smart Presets: Apply rules to entire categories (e.g., block all monsters or water_creatures).
  • Global Settings: Apply a rule to every entity on the server instantly.
  • In-Game Management: Full command system with auto-completion.
  • Zero Lag: Uses optimized HashSet lookups and hooks into NeoForge events for minimal performance impact.
  • Server-Side Only: Clients do not need to install this mod.


📜 The Rules System (Understanding Block Types)

When adding a rule, you define what to block. You can block specific sources or use "Inverse Mode" to allow only specific sources.

| Rule Keyword | Effect | | :--- | :--- | | all | Blocks ALL spawns for this target. | | natural | Blocks natural spawns (darkness, biome generation). | | spawner | Blocks mob spawners (dungeons, trial spawners). | | egg | Blocks spawn eggs and dispensers. | | command | Blocks /summon or command block spawns. | | !natural | Inverse: Blocks everything EXCEPT natural spawns. | | !spawner | Inverse: Blocks everything EXCEPT spawners. | | !command | Inverse: Blocks everything EXCEPT commands. |


💻 Command Guide (Usage Examples)

All commands require OP Level 4.

1. Specific Mob Control (add)

Target a single entity type.

  • Block Zombies completely:
    /spawnblocker add minecraft:zombie all
  • Block Creepers from spawning naturally (but allow spawners/eggs):
    /spawnblocker add minecraft:creeper natural
  • Allow Skeletons ONLY from Spawners (Inverse Mode):
    /spawnblocker add minecraft:skeleton !spawner

2. Category Presets (preset)

Apply rules to groups of mobs. Available categories: monsters, creatures, ambient, water, misc.

  • Block all Monsters from spawning naturally:
    /spawnblocker preset monsters natural
  • Disable all ambient creatures (Bats, etc.):
    /spawnblocker preset ambient all

3. Global Settings (global)

Apply a fallback rule to the entire server.

  • Disable Natural Spawning server-wide (Adventure mode style):
    /spawnblocker global natural

4. Management & Utilities

  • Remove a rule:
    /spawnblocker remove minecraft:zombie
    /spawnblocker remove preset monsters
  • List active rules:
    /spawnblocker list
  • Reload Config (from disk):
    /spawnblocker reload
  • Reset Everything (Wipe Config):
    /spawnblocker reset


📂 Configuration File (Manual Editing)

The configuration is saved automatically to config/spawnblocker.json. You can edit this file manually if the server is stopped.

Example spawnblocker.json:

{
  "minecraft:phantom": [
    "all"
  ],
  "preset:monsters": [
    "natural"
  ],
  "minecraft:zombie": [
    "!spawner"
  ],
  "global_settings": [
    "command"
  ]
}
