Mob Spawner Tick Rates non-functional

[HorusApl]

Expected behavior

Adjusting the config option ticks.per.mob-spawner should effect how often spawners tick/how often mobs are spawned from them.

Observed/Actual behavior

Setting this value to any number appears to have no effect.

Steps/models to reproduce

Set the number to default of 1 or 2 and then compare by setting it to a high number of 50.

Im not sure if its definately related to that, but not only spawners are taking longer to spawn, but also are spawning less mobs on single spawn (always one and according to mc wiki should be four)

The behaviour you are seeing is normal, setting the tick rate to 2 will cause it to ignore every other tick, but the spawn delay will also be decremented by two when it does tick. That way the spawner still spawns at roughly the same rate, without ticking as often
