Trying To Add Spawning For Entities In Custom Dimension.
I am trying to add some "background" mobs that spawn at all times. The only problem is, every category I select, something crazy like the attached image happens. The only one that does not do this is "Monster" but that doesn't allow it to spawn on the surface.
I'm wondering if somebody could provide me correct settings, or maybe procedure.
I appreciate all help.
What's Happening: 
It looks like you are using breezes. That might be why they are spawning too much. I know there is a problem with naturally spawning nothing but phantoms, where they don't count towards the spawn limit, maybe breezes have the same problem, because they are intended to just spawn from trial spawners.
If this is the case, it might be helped if breezes are a low spawn weight and something else with normal despawn rules (custom entities with default spawn and despawn settings for example) spawns with the same spawn category but much higher weight. That way the other thing spawns way more frequently than breezes (filling up the spawn limits), but breezes still spawn occasionally.
The only other options would be to remove breeze spawning completely, or maybe make some kind of convoluted tick procedure to basically take over spawning all mobs in the entire dimension, so that you have precise control over spawning, but this would really be too complex to be worth it (I only have a vague idea about how to do it) and it would probably also be extremely laggy.
Breezes do not count toward entity limit, that is correct. Having other entities to spawn more frequent that follow those rules won't prevent the breeze from spawning due to this, I recommend not using the breeze as a natural spawn.
