About this project
What does Darker Spawns add?
A mod that forces hostile mobs to spawn in darker light levels. By default, drifters spawn in light level 7 or lower. For reference, 11 is the brightness directly on a torch block, 22 is direct daylight, and 0 is pitch black.
This mod changes the maximum spawnable light level for drifters to "1", ensuring that even dimly lit abodes should be safe to return to, especially in the winter where snow sometimes *forces* mobs to spawn in your homestead. Bells and sawblade locusts now have maximum light level of "0" for spawning as well.
It is important to note that while many nights are pitch-black, thus still allowing drifter spawns, some have enough moonlight to prevent spawning with this mod.
