Commands

All commands live under /mobsettings. Run it on its own to get a list you can click to fill in.

Everything except help and discord needs operator permission.

Command What it does
/mobsettings Lists the commands you can use
/mobsettings spawns <entity> [all|<dimension>] [page] The biomes a mob naturally spawns in
/mobsettings spawns here What can spawn where you're standing
/mobsettings drops <entity> [dimension] The items a mob's loot table can drop, and your drop rules for it
/mobsettings inspect [target] The mob you're looking at, its attributes and the rules that apply to it
/mobsettings inspect type <entity> A mob type's category and rules, no live mob needed
/mobsettings discord A link to SoFoDev's Workshop on Discord

Spawns

/mobsettings spawns minecraft:zombie shows every biome in your current dimension where zombies spawn, with their weight, group size and share of the spawns there. Every rule is already applied, so this is the quickest way to check that a removeSpawns or addSpawns line did what you wanted.

  • Add a dimension ID to look somewhere else, or all to cover every dimension at once.
  • The first page starts with a summary of the weights and group sizes. Long lists are split into pages with clickable Prev / Next buttons.
  • spawns here also includes structure spawns, like Nether fortresses and witch huts.

Remember that spawn rules only take effect after a world reload, so the output won't change until then.

Drops

/mobsettings drops minecraft:skeleton lists everything in the mob's loot table, along with any removeDrops and extraDrops lines that cover it. Add a dimension to see the rules for a mob dying there.

Inspect

Look at a mob and run /mobsettings inspect (or pass a selector, like @e[type=zombie,limit=1,sort=nearest]). You'll see its category, dimension, biome, whether it can despawn, its attributes next to their defaults, and every Mob Settings rule that applies to it. [Show NBT] opens the mob's full data.

/mobsettings inspect type <entity> does the same for a mob type without needing one nearby, which is handy for checking which rules would apply before you spawn it.

Experimental Inspect Screen

Turn on experimentalInspectScreen in the config and inspect opens a screen instead of printing to chat. It shows the mob in 3D, with tabs for its overview, equipment, spawns, drops and rules.

  • Drops removed by removeDrops are struck through (or marked with how often they're removed), and extraDrops are listed as added.
  • Spawn lines saved since the world loaded are marked as taking effect after a restart.
  • On the Equipment tab you can edit, clear or reset each slot, paste gear, and then copy the mob as an addSpawns line, save it straight to the config, or apply it to the live mob.

Use /mobsettings inspect chat to get the chat version while the screen is on.

This is still experimental, so it's off by default and may change or break between versions.
