Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with Mob Filter Mod after installing it?
Launch the game once so the mod generates its config file (mobfilter.yml or mobfilter.json5) in your config folder, then open it to add your first rule. Rules take effect on world load or after running the reload command.
Where is the Mob Filter config file and what format does it use?
It lives in your Minecraft config directory and can be written as either mobfilter.yml or mobfilter.json5. Pick one format and keep all your rules in that single file.
How do I write a rule that stops one mob from spawning?
Add a rule that names the mob and sets its action to deny, optionally scoped to a biome, dimension, or coordinate range. Without extra conditions, the deny applies everywhere that mob could spawn.
What's the difference between the config file rules and the /mobfilter command?
The config file holds persistent, condition-based rules that load with the world, while the /mobfilter command lets you quickly deny or allow a mob on the fly. Use the command for quick tests and the config for permanent setups.
