Monster Spawn Nerfs

When I first played 1.20 I thought the bowtorns and shivers were cool (terrifying) but way too common and I felt they should be more rare enemies. Now i'm making a 1.21 server and I wanted a fairly easy going world for new players so I made a mod with these ch

About this project

What does Monster Spawn Nerfs add?

All mobs can only spawn at a light level of 0 (drifters, bowtorns, shivers, bells, locusts)
Bowtorn spawn chance changed to 1/10th of before
Shiver spawn chance changed to 1/20th of before
Shivers only spawn underground
Bowtorns and shivers should also spawn less often in temporal storms

Basically this mod makes all mobs only spawn in pure darkness and then nerfs bowtorns and shiver spawnrates massively. Affects natural spawns and temporal storms but not the story locations.

Also if you're a real mob hater you can add drifters throw nerf as well.
