Install on the server only; players don't need it
NoMobSpawn is a lightweight Fabric mod that allows you to completely block specific mobs from spawning in your world.
Client-compatible
Only for singleplayer/local worlds!
- Singleplayer & LAN: Install the mod into your client's mods folder, and it will work perfectly in your worlds.
- Joining other servers: If you connect to third-party servers, the mod will harmlessly sit in the background. It will not cause crashes and will not prevent you from joining any servers.
For which server types
The mod is Server-Side. This means it is compatible with all types of Fabric-based servers:
- Local hosts
- Public and Private Servers
- Key Advantage: Players joining your server DO NOT need to install this mod. It functions entirely on the server side.
Config location
Only modify this file if you know what you are doing!
Settings are saved per-world at: .../[world_folder]/nomobspawn/nomobspawn.json

⚠️ Note: All commands from this list are available only to players with permission level 4 (Owner).
/nms perm get- displays the current global permission level/nms perm set <0-4>- sets the required global permission level for the core mod commands- `/nms perm player set <0-4>` - sets an individual permission level for a player
- `/nms perm player get ` - displays the player's current individual permission level
- `/nms perm player remove ` - resets the player's individual permission level. The global permission level will apply afterward
Memo for "/nms perm player set"
If a player's permission level is equal to or higher than the global permission level, they can use
/nomobspawncommands. Players with permission level 4 can also use/nmscommands to manage permissions. ⚠️Warning:
- If you lower your permission level below level 4, you will lose access to all
/nmscommands.- If your permission level drops below the global level, you will lose access to
all commandsin this mod entirely.- You will only be able to restore your permissions through the configuration file or via another player with a sufficient permission level!
Notes
By default, a local world also acts as a server. This means you have the maximum permission level and can use all commands.
When playing on a multiplayer server, you must have the required permission level to use commands. Please consult the server owner for details.
This mod works with most modded mobs. If a specific mob does not appear in the command suggestion list, you can still type its ID manuall, use the format `:<mob_id>`.
