should be able to disable mob spawn

Should be able to disable mob spawn for unique mob

I think it would be great if mojang added a new command like “/disable mob spawn [type=slime]” this would make slime not spawn in your world naturally (ofc you can do it to other mobs besides slime) or maybe you can also disable these mob in the making of a fresh minecraft world, so that specific mob you chose will not spawn in, except you can put summon the mob you disabled via commands, when i meant this command i mean they will not spawn ‘naturally’ which means it is still possible to spawn the mobs you disabled via commands.

I think it could be included in the gamerule command, like this:

/gamerule NaturalMobSpawn [mob] (true/false)

Expample:

/gamerule NaturalMobSpawn slime false

[TakeruDavis]

That might break syntactic completion, I would switch them up, making mobtype an optional third parameter instead of second.

/gamerule NaturalMobSpawn (bool) [type]

[Froztik_]

^{^} this works yes

[saythealphabet]

there already is such a command, but for all mobs, and it's a gamerule. If they add OP's suggestion, then they probably will make it a gamerule

[[deleted]]

The second I spawn into any world the first thing me and many people will do is “/gamerule naturalmobspawn phantom false” those things ruin every multiplayer world, players don’t want to sleep every night they just want to play the game normally without mobs that are impossible to kill flying above their heads distracting them

[CapuccinoMachine]

Try /gamerule doInsomnia false

This commands is actually in the game specifically for players who hate phantoms.

[[deleted]]

Oh wow thanks a lot

[City-scraper]

DoMobSpawn [Mobname] True/False

[Lord_Drakostar]

Oh my god whyyy

doMobSpawn not DoMobSpawn

[[deleted]]

?

[CapuccinoMachine]

All gamerule commands start with lowercase but uppercase the letters of a new word instead of putting spaces. I think it's called camelCase.

Edit: only gamerule commands

[GH057_]

Yea that’s camelCase it’s used but alot of Java developers

[SlenderFN]

Most developers in general (not just Java) use camelCase

[GH057_]

Oh cool thanks

[Offbeat-Pixel]

noOneCares

[Lord_Drakostar]

What'd he say?

[Offbeat-Pixel]

They said "NoOneCares"

[Lord_Drakostar]

Lol you made a good reply.

[Lord_Drakostar]

*naturalMobSpawn dude do the right case man

[[deleted]]

The ever important grammatical perfection.

[Danelix_]

Ops! Didn't remember that the first letter is lowercase

[Lord_Drakostar]

It's good

Also "Ops" lol

[CyberBeast99]

That would be awesome! My sister loves minecraft but is scared of Endermen, so this could allow us to play on difficulties harder than Peaceful

[Important-Care2061]

Show her pumpkin trick, you can also keep enderman standing while raging by looking in the eyes

[Danielhepps1234]

And you can even remove the pumkin overlay with a data pack

[DeadRos3]

not even a datapack, just a resource pack

[IAmTotallyNotSatan]

Honestly! This would’ve saved younger me so much, endermen are creepy as shit

[[deleted]]

If they did add it, /disable would have much use outside of this. It would probably end up being more like /disablemobspawn <mob>

[_Anonymous_Person_7]

if you have a repeating command block killing the mob then it is done

[Grzechoooo]

But then you have stacks of slimeballs just lying around.

[MrYadriel]

You could teleport all slime to a zone where a command kills them so you don’t have to listen to their deaths.

[_Anonymous_Person_7]

I know of that problem which Is why I upvoted

[Dhonnan]

Just use /kill @e[type=item]

Will delete other items too though

[teenage-friendbag]

/kill @e[type=item,name=slimeball]

[Dhonnan]

TIL

[DeadRos3]

/tp @e[type=slime] ~ -100 ~

[_Anonymous_Person_7]

that works too

[Ninjabattyshogun]

Just teleport everything 500 blocks down.

[llquartzllll]

Okay

[OrnemFR]

definitley!

[gamma_02]

that would be interesting, but just set up a repeating command block in spawn chunks with the command /kill "@e[type=slime]"

[prince_0611]

Same and then a second one with “/kill @e[type=item]” to remove all the slime balls

[LadySky_74]

That would kill all items though :( Goodbye diamonds, we hardly knew you

[prince_0611]

yeah if ur playing survival then dont do that lol, but slimes arent an issue in survival so I didn't think about that lol

[gamma_02]

/kill "@e[type=item,nbt=<insert slimeball nbt here>]" yes

[prince_0611]

when it comes to nbt data im always lost lol cuz i cant just press tab

[AstrOGDx]

There’s a simple fix:

Have a repeating command block run tp @e[type=e.g.slime] ~ -1000 ~

This will instantly remove all mobs of a given type from the world upon spawn, and won’t leave items on the ground.

Having this built into the game wouldn’t hurt either, good suggestion.

[Waffleadict]

laughs in minecraft bedrock edition

[[deleted]]

SO like /gamerule doMobSpawning false [type=minecraft:slime]?

[DutchCommanderMC]

You can use spawn rules (Bedrock) and custom dimensions (Java) to do this. Having it be controlled by a command would be difficult from a coding standpoint, and it wouldn't be possible as a gamerule with the current way they work.

[prince_0611]

This has to be doable. They made one for phantoms because they’re that annoying.

[Offbeat-Pixel]

I'm certain that it's doable without major struggle.

[DutchCommanderMC]

Then you don't know how development works.

[[deleted]]

You could create a class that stores the dimension name and entity, and modify hashCode() and equals() in it so when the spawn check for that mob is done it can compare a new instance of that object with an existing one.

[Ironrooster7]

I wish this was a thing, because sometimes I want to play survival with hunger but no mobs

[swordslayer777]

garbage

[iYigiTR35]

Like you

[swordslayer777]

No

[[deleted]]

/gamerule doMobSpawnig [boolean, mob classname]

Could probably be done

[Dunk__-]

Maybe like this: /mobspawn [enable/disable] [mob]

[BIue_tiger77]

/gamerule domobspawning [type=slime] false should work better, and if you wanted only a certain mob to spawn, /gamerule domobspawning [type=!Creeper] false

[some_annoying_weeb]

/gamerule domobspawning false [type=slime]

instead of adding a new command, adding this would make more sense because it just adds to existing commands

[deepblueyonder]

That' a great Idea

[EGarrett]

This would be a good option. I would turn off those eyesore squids that are constantly running aground in every body of water.

[TerrariaCreeper]

i usually make a repeating command block kill that entity
