About this project
What does Stray Spawn add?
Stray Spawn 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 game they can only spawn in ice biomes, but they are too cool looking to not have them everywhere.
All available config options:
chanceSkeletonIsStray default 0.25, min 0, max 1.0
The chance a skeleton that has spawned is of the stray variant.
onlySpawnStraysOnSurface default false
When enabled, strays will only spawn on the surface.
dimensionsToSpawnIn default ""
Dimensions in which skeletons can turn into strays, separated by a comma. Leave empty for every dimension. For example: 'minecraft:overworld,minecraft:the_nether'.
biomesToSpawnIn default ""
Biomes in which skeletons can turn into strays, separated by a comma. Biome tags work too, starting with a '#'. Leave empty for every biome. For example: 'minecraft:snowy_plains,#minecraft:is_mountain'.
