Alm’s Bewitchment Tweaks Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Does this data pack work with the base Bewitchment mod alone?
Yes, the data pack adjusts spawn rates and drops for the base Bewitchment mod. The BetterNether hellhound feature only activates if you have BetterNether installed, but all other tweaks work without it.
How do I stop salt ore from clogging up my caves?
The data pack reduces salt ore generation by default. If caves still feel oversaturated, check that the data pack is loaded and enabled in your world—it should be listed in `/datapack list`.
Will this make creatures drop more loot?
Yes, the data pack increases item drops from Bewitchment creatures when you defeat them, giving you better rewards for combat encounters.
Why aren't hellhounds spawning in my BetterNether biomes?
Make sure both Bewitchment and BetterNether are installed, and that the data pack is enabled. Hellhounds may also require the correct light level and biome conditions—check that you're in a valid BetterNether biome.
Can I use this with other Bewitchment data packs?
Data packs can conflict if they modify the same spawn rates or loot tables. Load this pack last in your datapack folder to give it priority, or check the load order in your world settings.
Do I need to start a new world for the changes to take effect?
No, the data pack applies to existing worlds immediately. However, already-generated chunks will keep their old spawn rates—new chunks will use the tweaked settings.
What mod settings does this actually fix?
The data pack corrects broken spawn rates and drop tables from the base Bewitchment mod that were unbalanced for survival play. Specific adjustments are listed in the included guides.
Will this affect performance or cause lag?
No, this data pack only adjusts existing spawn and loot mechanics—it doesn't add new content or entities that would impact performance.
How do I check if the data pack is actually loaded?
Run `/datapack list` in your world chat. The data pack should appear in the enabled list. If it's missing, make sure it's in your world's `datapacks` folder.
Can I customize the spawn rates or loot amounts myself?
Yes, you can edit the data pack's JSON files to adjust spawn rates and drops to your preference, though this requires basic knowledge of data pack structure.
