Project New Wind — Configuration

Every setting in the mod config file, with what it changes.

Option	What it does
`incubator`Active Incubator	Tuning for the Active Incubator block: spawn and spread timing, the nearby-undead cap, blob radius, and tentacle reach.
`biome_restrictions`Biome Restrictions	Optionally limit the height-based spawn rules to specific biomes, on top of the dimension filter.
`spawn_chance_hard`Cavalry Spawn Chance (Hard)	Probability that a freshly spawned Zombie, Husk, or plain Skeleton (excluding babies, Drowned, Stray, Wither Skeleton, Zombie Villager) is promoted to a Heavy Cavalry variant — full armor, iron sword or axe, and a shield — on HARD difficulty. Only natural and
`depth_rules`Depth Rules	Y-level thresholds and probabilities: surface crowd culling and gear clearing above the surface line, upgraded gear deep underground.
`dimensions`Dimensions	Dimensions where the height-based spawn rules apply. Each entry is a dimension ID such as 'minecraft:overworld'. Default: the Overworld only.
`duration_ticks`Duration (Ticks)	How long the Undead Immortality freeze lasts, in ticks. 20 ticks = 1 second. Default: 100 (5 s).
`custom_player_regen_enabled`Enable Custom Regeneration	When enabled, the mod controls player health regeneration via the dynamic food/health system on Normal and Hard difficulty (Peaceful and Easy keep vanilla healing). When disabled, vanilla regeneration always applies and the natural regeneration gamerule is lef
`infected_zombies_enabled`Enable Infected Zombies	When enabled, naturally spawned zombies, husks, and drowned have a small chance to be marked Infected on spawn, gaining mod behavior. The exact chance is set by Infected Spawn Chance below. When disabled, no infection mark is applied.
`modified_spawn_enabled`Enable Modified Friendly-Mob Spawn	Master toggle for New Wind's reworked spawning of cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens by biome. When off, these animals appear at their normal vanilla rates instead. Default: enabled. Requires a full server restart.
`enabled`Enable Settlement Alarm	Master toggle for the village alarm reaction. On nights when surface spawning is allowed (a vanilla new moon, or any active custom moon phase), every village bell within 96 blocks of a player rings a five-strike peal shortly after nightfall, and again 30 secon
`excluded_mobs`Excluded Mobs	Mobs to leave untouched by the surface-spawn rule. This overrides every other list. Entries are entity IDs (for example 'minecraft:enderman') or '#'-prefixed entity tags. Default: empty.
`extra_mobs`Extra Mobs	Extra mobs to include in the surface-spawn rule, in addition to those chosen by Mob List Mode. Entries are entity IDs (for example 'minecraft:phantom') or '#'-prefixed entity tags. Default: empty.
`fluids`Fluid Behavior	Behavior of the mod's fluids, such as whether brine forms infinite source blocks.
`food_weight`Food Weight	How strongly your hunger level affects healing speed. Higher means low hunger slows healing more. Default: 0.4.
`friendly_spawn`Friendly-Mob Biome Spawning	Changes how often cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens appear in each biome. Changes require a server restart.
`heavy_cavalry`Heavy Cavalry	Chance for a freshly spawned zombie, husk, or skeleton to become a heavily armored variant with a weapon and shield.
`height_spawning`Height-Based Spawning	Restricts surface spawns to certain moon phases and applies depth-based gear rules to hostile mobs in the configured dimensions. Set Mode to Disabled to turn it all off.
`hp_weight`HP Weight	How strongly your current health affects healing speed. Higher means low health slows healing more. Default: 0.6.
`spawn_chance`Infected Spawn Chance	Chance a naturally spawned zombie, husk, or drowned receives the Infected mark. Requires Enable Infected Zombies above. Range: 0.0-1.0. Default: 0.015 (1.5%).
`infection`Infection	Controls the Infected mark on zombies, husks, and drowned, plus infected combat and the Active Incubator.
`infinite_brine`Infinite Brine Source	When enabled, Brine forms infinite source blocks like vanilla water. Default: disabled.
`vanilla_spawn_enabled`Keep Vanilla Friendly-Mob Spawn	When on, the normal vanilla spawns of cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens are kept on top of New Wind's, so both add up. When off, the vanilla spawns are removed from every Overworld biome, leaving only New Wind's. Has no effect unless Modified Friendly-Mob Spawn
`max_delay_ticks`Maximum Heal Delay (ticks)	Longest delay, approached at critically low HP and saturation. Default: 200.
`min_delay_ticks`Minimum Heal Delay (ticks)	Shortest possible delay between heals, used at full HP and saturation. 20 ticks = 1 second. Default: 40.
`mob_list_mode`Mob List Mode	Which mobs the surface-spawn rule affects. Default uses a built-in list of common hostile mobs (zombie, skeletons, creeper, enderman, spider) plus your Extra Mobs; All Hostile affects every hostile mob, vanilla or modded, plus your Extra Mobs. Either way, Excl
`mobs`Mobs	Mob behavior: the infection system and undead immortality.
`mode`Mode	Master switch for the height-based spawn rules. Enabled applies them in every listed dimension; Partial behaves like Enabled (reserved for future per-dimension control); Disabled turns off all spawn changes without removing the mod. Default: Enabled.
`moon_phases`Moon Phases	Which moon phases let hostile mobs spawn on the surface — the vanilla new moon and custom phases from other mods.
`player`Player	Player-side mechanics, such as health regeneration.
`player_regeneration`Player Regeneration	Custom food/health-driven player regeneration on Normal and Hard, replacing vanilla natural regeneration.
`formula`Regen Formula	Fine-tunes how strongly your health and hunger affect how fast you heal.
`settlement_alarm`Settlement Alarm	Village bell alarm and villager fear reaction on nights when surface spawning is allowed.
`spawning`Spawning	Where, when, and how mobs spawn: height-based rules, friendly-mob biomes, heavy cavalry, and the village alarm.
`undead_immortality`Undead Immortality Mechanic	How undead cheat death by briefly freezing instead of dying, and which hits bypass it.
`world`World	World and fluid behavior: brine.

Height Spawning

Option	What it does
`allow_new_moon`Allow Vanilla New Moon	Allow hostile mobs to spawn on the surface during vanilla new-moon nights. Default: enabled.
`allowed_custom_phases`Allowed Custom Phases	Extra moon phases from other mods that also allow surface spawning, such as blood moons. Entries whose mod is not installed are simply ignored. Default: a set of common blood-moon integrations.
`allowlist`Biome Allowlist	Biomes the height-based spawn rules are limited to while the Biome Filter is enabled. Entries are biome IDs (for example 'minecraft:plains') or '#'-prefixed biome tags. An empty list means no restriction. Default: empty.
`surface_skip_chance_creeper`Creeper Surface Skip Chance	Surface skip chance used for creepers instead of the general Surface Skip Chance. The creeper must still appear in the Surface-Skip Mobs list. Default: 0.75 (a 25% chance to spawn).
`deep_y_threshold`Deep Y Threshold	Height (Y level) below which a mob counts as deep underground and becomes eligible for upgraded gear. Default: 0.
`desert_threshold`Desert Biome Threshold	Vanilla biome base-temperature cutoff. A biome whose base temperature is at or above this value counts as desert, which lets Husk spawn underground (paired with the underground-husk biome modifier). Note: the incubator's husk-in-desert pick checks the desert b
`enabled`Enable Biome Filter	When enabled, the height-based spawn rules only run in the biomes listed in the Biome Allowlist. When disabled, or when the list is empty, every biome in the configured dimensions is affected. Default: disabled.
`gear_scaling_mobs`Gear-Scaling Mobs	Mobs that have their gear stripped on the surface and rolled for upgraded gear deep underground. Entries are entity IDs or '#'-prefixed entity tags. Default: zombie, husk, and all skeletons.
`icy_threshold`Icy Biome Threshold	Vanilla biome base-temperature cutoff. A biome whose base temperature is strictly below this value counts as icy, which lets Stray spawn underground (paired with the underground-stray biome modifier). Default: 0.15.
`surface_skip_chance`Surface Skip Chance	Chance that a hostile mob spawning on the surface is cancelled outright, thinning surface crowds. 0.0 never cancels, 1.0 always cancels. Default: 0.5 (50%).
`surface_y_threshold`Surface Y Threshold	Height (Y level) above which a mob counts as being on the surface, for the surface crowd cull and gear clearing. Default: 40.
`surface_skip_mobs`Surface-Skip Mobs	Mobs affected by the surface skip chance when they spawn on the surface. Entries are entity IDs or '#'-prefixed entity tags. Default: creeper, spider, zombie, all skeletons, and witch.
`surface_skip_chance_witch`Witch Surface Skip Chance	Surface skip chance used for witches instead of the general Surface Skip Chance. Set high so witches stay rare on the surface, since (unlike other mobs) they are not limited to the allowed moon phases. The witch must still appear in the Surface-Skip Mobs list.

Infection

Option	What it does
`max_blob_radius`Max Blob Radius	Maximum radius of the initial infection blob before the tentacle phase begins. Default: 5.
`max_tentacle_reach`Max Tentacle Reach	Maximum distance in blocks a tentacle may grow from the incubator before it self-terminates. Values that are too low cut tentacles off mid-growth. Default: 64.0.
`mob_cap`Mob Cap	Maximum undead within an 8-block radius of the incubator before spawn rolls suppress. Default: 6.
`spawn_chance`Spawn Chance	Probability per spawn-interval tick that the incubator spawns undead. Range: 0.0-1.0. Default: 0.15 (15%).
`spawn_interval`Spawn Interval (ticks)	Ticks between incubator spawn-roll attempts. Each successful roll may spawn 1-3 undead near the incubator. Default: 60 (3 s).
`spread_interval`Spread Interval (ticks)	Ticks between infection-spread progression steps. Doubled internally when the incubator is in dim (>6) light. Default: 20 (1 s).
