Good morning, the boys are wanting me to turn on vanilla mobs for our pixelbcg server. Is there a way for me to do that? I have looked it up on google and everywhere it leads me to shows me how to do it if i was playing single player. Thanks for the help in advance
#Turning on Vanilla Mobs in pixelmon server

Hey!
I think that downloading a mod like this one: https://modrinth.com/mod/mobsbegone should work. You will need to configure it manually though by adding the mobs to the blacklist
Modrinth won't load for me currently, not sure if thats a me-issue or not but this is the same mod: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/mobsbegone/files/6742844
It does only have one for 1.21.1 though.

Maybe I need to clarify, we are wanting the vanilla mobs to be able to spawn. Currently it is just pokemon. We are playing on the 1.16 version as well. I went into the config files to see and it says that vanilla mob are allowed to spawn however we havent seen one in multiple hours of playing.

howdy, you said its enabled in the entity.yml?
what version of pixelmon are you using? Pixelmon Mod 9.1.13?
Oh actually I see you said youre using a modpack with for it

are you referring to server.properties? there are other config files in the config folder. more specifically config/pixelmon/ folder. where you can find spawning.yml in there you will find allow-vanilla-mobs: false, change it to true. save and restart the server. enjoy the cows.
ebon terrace
sometimes for the pixelmon packs theres other mods that prevent vanilla from spawning. Look for a file called incontrol may be a config.
dry quarry
@dim terrace I double checked what the internet told me, and the file you want to edit config/pixelmon/config.yml and the allow-vanilla-mobs: false is right at the top, change it to true and restart your server.
make sure to hit save if you edited it online

pixelmon is tempermental, i don't recommend installing additional mods or datapacks to it.

did you also check the server.properties, sometimes there's something in there that prohibits vanilla mobs from spawning.
dim terrace
yes I set the spawn monster and toggle animals to true and still nothing
dry quarry
yes I set the spawn monster and toggle animals to true and still nothing
and you restarted?
ie stop and start the server after
if yes to that, we're definitely into ticket territory
ebon terrace
ill try one more time but yes I have restarted since doing htat
Did you see if you had anything called incontrol in your files like in your configs or mods/plugins area

default pixelmon 1.16.5 only has these files.
it is possible Hayden was doing the reforged version, in which case it is import to tell those helping you the exact name of the mod pack
dim terrace
Yes I did and found it but I didnt see anything that would prohibit it
dry quarry
so you didn't have basic 1.16.5 pixelmon
ebon terrace
Yes I did and found it but I didnt see anything that would prohibit it
What's in the config for it
dry quarry
which pixelmon mod pack name did you select, that makes a big difference
ebon terrace
which pixelmon mod pack name did you select, that makes a big difference
Pixelbcg per his original post
Which is believe comes with incontrol
dim terrace
yes tthat is the exact version I have
dry quarry
incontrol is denying them
edit config/incontrol/spawn.json
goto line 80, change deny to allow
save and restart
check the rest of the config
if there are other things you know are missing that your kids want, and are also denied there, set them to allow too
alternatively deleting hte file if you want all of it to spawn
and restart
So syndave was definitely on the money this entire time
ebon terrace
Yea ive used incontrol in the past its a blessing until its not XD
@dim terrace Let us know if that works for you
dim terrace
Now it wont even perform a successful restart so I have no clue what is happening

probably edited the config wrong. the latest.log will have the answers
if you've opened a ticket already, i recommend not mixing our help with their help
