Overview

Bad Mobs (mod id badmobs) is a lightweight utility mod that lets you disable spawning per entity. Every entity registered in the game - vanilla and modded alike - automatically gets its own section in the mod's configuration, where you decide whether that creature may appear in your world and by which routes.

Blocked entities are removed the moment they try to join the world, so a blacklisted mob never actually shows up - whether it came from natural spawning, a monster spawner, a spawn egg or a mob conversion, depending on which options you turned off.

Typical uses:

  • Protect builds by disabling only creepers while keeping every other monster.
  • Make a peaceful-feeling world that still keeps selected hostile mobs.
  • Turn off a single annoying creature added by another installed mod.
  • Curate exact spawn lists for adventure maps and servers.

Bad Mobs is a standalone utility mod with no library dependencies and no commands - everything is driven by its configuration. The original mod is by Darkhax (github.com/Darkhax-Minecraft/BadMobs), released under the LGPL 2.1 license.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Bad Mobs Mod let me control?
It lets you decide exactly which monsters and animals are allowed to spawn in your world. You can stop specific creatures from appearing naturally, from spawners, or from being created by players.
Does Bad Mobs work with mobs added by other mods?
Yes, it automatically detects and lists creatures added by other installed content packs. This means you can block or allow those mobs too.
Does Bad Mobs need to be installed on the client?
No, it runs entirely on the server side. This gives server admins full control over what spawns in multiplayer worlds.
