I have a custom dimension made within a datapacks, and within that custom datapack there is a custom biome that has mob spawning criteria. The only mob that seems to be spawning is the Allay, since the dimensional build I have is currently lit up, but none of the other mobs seem to spawn. Here is my dimensional_type and the biome info

I am currently just trying to get mob spawning to work, I want spiders, silverfish, phantoms, and vex to naturally spawn within this biome, at a light level of 8 or lower

amber python
#

You have put most of the mobs in the wrong spawner category

#

Spiders, silverfish, phantoms, and vexes are monsters, not creatures

whole flame
#

Oh? How do I fix this then?

#

I thought spawner just was all mobs at once

amber python
#

By making a separate object in spawners called monster, and moving those mobs in there

amber python
#

Take a look at the vanilla biomes

Ok thank you

This look right?
#

It doesnt seem to function so that answers my question I suppose

fast patrol
#

Did you restart your world? (Not the game)

#

The json seems fine to me

whole flame
#

I did, but not my game, I can try a restart real quick again to see

#

yup still no mobs spawning

#

Even in pitch darkness no hostile mobs, maybe I am misunderstanding "monster_spawn_light_level": 9, "monster_spawn_block_light_limit": 9?

#

It also seems allays and cats are not spawning now

fast patrol
#

is there anything in your logs?

whole flame
#

I am unsure how to check logs, can you help with that?

#

Okay I have that turned on and i am loading into my world now

#

I am not getting any errors or debug info for the datapack, so it is running properly, its just not spawning

#

It started suddenly spawning after a bit I am so unsure

#

thank you though

#

One thing I do need help with, the Vex are instantly dieing, I want them to linger a little bit, I know vex typically despawn if they last too long / go too far from the evokers, but I want them to last a little while

#

Is that possible in data packs
