Stray Spawn Mod is a minimalistic configurable mod which adds a chance for strays to spawn naturally everywhere instead of a skeleton spawn. By default in the vanilla Minecraft, they can only spawn in ice biomes, but they are too cool looking to not have them everywhere.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make strays spawn everywhere instead of just ice biomes?
The mod already does this by default — any skeleton that spawns anywhere in the world has a chance to be a stray instead. You don't need to enable biome spawning; just make sure the mod is loaded and the chance value isn't set to 0.
Where is the config file for this mod?
It's a standard Forge-style config, so look in your instance's config folder for a file matching the mod's name. Open it with a text editor and edit the chanceSkeletonIsStray value, then save and restart the game.
What does chanceSkeletonIsStray actually control?
It sets the probability that a skeleton which just spawned is converted into a stray instead. The value runs from 0 (never) to 1 (always), with the default being 0.25.
Do I need to restart Minecraft after changing the config?
Yes — config changes are read at load time, so edit the file, save it, and fully restart the game for the new chance to take effect.
