In Control Mod puts you in charge of mob spawning. Block unwanted mobs, make spawns stronger or weaker, add custom mob spawns, control loot drops, and tweak experience gains. It’s all controlled through JSON configuration files that work with both Forge and Fabric.
What It Does
Block Mob Spawns
Stop mobs from spawning using the spawn.json file. Set conditions like weather, time of day, biome, light level, height, distance from spawn point, and more. When you block a spawn, it stays blocked. No more unwanted creepers or skeletons.
Modify Mob Properties
When mobs are allowed to spawn, modify them. Increase or decrease health, speed, and damage. Give them armor or weapons. Apply potion effects. Make them angry at players. Turn weak mobs into bosses or nerf dangerous ones.
Add New Mobs to Biomes
Use potentialspawn.json to add mobs to places they normally don’t spawn. Want blazes in the overworld? Witches in plains biomes? Add them with custom weights and group sizes.
Control What Mobs Drop
The loot.json file lets you change what items mobs drop when killed. Set different drops based on the biome, how the mob was killed, who killed it, and other factors.
Adjust Experience Rewards
Set custom experience amounts with experience.json. Give more XP from tough mobs and less from easy ones.
Zombie Summon Control
Use summonaid.json to control zombies that spawn as backup when you hit another zombie. Same rules as spawn.json.
How Rules Work
In Control uses JSON files with condition-action pairs. Each rule checks if certain conditions are met, then performs actions based on the result.
Conditions you can use: height range, light level, weather, biome, structures (villages, fortresses, strongholds, etc), time of day, difficulty, distance from spawn, block type, mob type, dimension, and more.
Actions you can perform: allow or block spawns, multiply health/speed/damage, add armor and weapons, apply potions, set NBT data, control item drops, and remove specific mobs.
You can also use weight values and percentages to randomize spawns, target specific mods’ mobs, or check for structures to limit spawns to certain areas.
