Customize Visitor Spawn Rates and Behavior

Accessing Configuration

The mod's behavior is controlled through a configuration file. Use /visitors reload to apply changes immediately without restarting your world.

Key Settings to Adjust

Spawn Frequency: spawnCheckIntervalSeconds controls how often the mod checks whether to spawn new visitors.

Population Requirements: minVillagersForSpawn and minGolemsForSpawn set the thresholds your settlement must meet.

Spawn Limits: maxSpawnsPerCycle caps how many visitors can arrive in one spawn cycle, and maxWanderingVisitors limits total wandering guests in the area.

Baby Visitors: minAdultsForBaby sets how many adult visitors must be present before babies spawn, and babySpawnPercentage adjusts how often babies appear.

Trading: defaultVisitorTradeChance changes the likelihood that generic visitors will offer trades.

Testing Changes

After editing the config, run /visitors reload to apply changes. Use /visitors population <qty> <radius> to test spawn behavior without waiting for natural cycles.
