Periodic Mob Spawner

Highly customizable Minecraft Datapack focusing on Spawning a Random Mob every X seconds.

This project is my very first take on a Minecraft Datapack, therefore not very good, nor efficient. This Datapack uses PRNG (with help from u/mingshi3_uiuc) to randomize the mob spawn. The Datapack features the following commands:

• /function pms:spawn_timer {Timer:x} - x=ticks before next mob spawn

This datapack has been tested and works in following versions:

• 1.21.4

How to install this datapack

It's very simple! Just follow these instructions:

1. Download the Periodic-Mob-Spawner.zip from releases.
2. Unzip the zipped folder.
3. Go to ".minecraft\saves\yourworld\datapacks" and drag the datapack in there.
4. Alternatively, you can create a new world in-game, go to "More", click on "Data Packs" and drag the datapack in there.

The Datapack will begin as soon as you join the world, to disable/enable the datapack run:

• /datapack disable "file/Periodic-Mob-Spawner"
• /datapack enable "file/Periodic-Mob-Spawner"

Found a bug?

You can do the one of the following:

• Submit an issue detailing what occured, how it occured and or if you modified the datapack in any way.
• DM me on discord (username: meilaleinalainen).
• Try to fix it yourself. This datapack is poorly made so I wouldn't recommend this option.
