Troubleshooting Drowned Spawning Near Conduits

Checking the Conduit Status Effect

If you encounter drowned zombies in an area protected by a conduit, verify that the mod's primary condition is being met:

1. Open your inventory or check your screen overlay to confirm you have the conduit effect active.

2. The mod does not suppress spawns simply because a conduit block exists; the player itself must actively hold the conduit effect.

3. If the effect has expired, swim closer to your conduit frame to refresh it before proceeding.

Checking Spawn Timing and Distance Settings

If drowned are still appearing despite having the active effect, check the following factors:

• Preexisting Spawns: The mod halts new spawn events. Any drowned that generated before your conduit was built, or that wandered in from unloaded terrain, must be cleared out manually.
• Config Distance: Open your config folder and check the value for preventDrownedInRange. The default distance is 400 blocks. If this value was reduced significantly, drowned may still be permitted to spawn just beyond that shorter Euclidean distance and swim toward you. Reset the setting to 400 to restore full area suppression.
