Lost Souls Mod FAQ

Haunted buildings look like normal Lost Cities structures but spawn mobs even in fully lit rooms, and the mobs inside have noticeably more health and hit harder than usual. If torches aren't keeping a building safe, it's haunted.

You have to kill a set number of the boosted mobs inside the building; once you hit that threshold, spawning stops and the building is considered cleared. Check your config to see how that threshold is set.

That's the core mechanic of the mod: haunted buildings ignore light level, so torches and other lighting won't stop spawns. The only way to stop them is to clear the building by defeating enough mobs.

Yes, Lost Souls Mod is designed to work alongside The Lost Cities and modifies its buildings, so it won't do anything meaningful without it. Make sure both are installed together.

Use the mod's config file to adjust spawn counts, mob health and damage multipliers, and which mob types can appear. Lowering the spawn count and the clear threshold makes buildings much more manageable.

Yes, the config lets you control which mob types are allowed to spawn inside haunted areas. Remove or blacklist the ones you don't want and they won't appear there.

The required number is configurable rather than fixed, so check your config for the current clear threshold. The mod tracks your kills and stops spawns once you reach it.

Bring strong armor, a high-damage weapon, plenty of food, and healing items, since the boosted mobs hit harder and have more health than vanilla ones. Don't rely on torches for safety; rely on combat readiness.

Extra mobs spawning in haunted buildings can add load, especially in large or densely packed structures. If performance drops, reduce spawn counts and the number of haunted buildings in the config.

Once you reach the clear threshold, spawning in that building stops, so it becomes safe like a normal structure. The cleared state applies to that building, not the whole world.
