I need help getting my mob to spawn underground.

So, I have this small mob (less than 1 block in size). I need it to spawn in caves. I almost managed to do this using a procedure, but with my current setup, it's only spawning near lava.

Here is my procedure: https://imgur.com/a/NWPL3C3

Here is my spawning tab: https://imgur.com/a/Qqy5AUR (weight = 500 for tests)

Maybe it's some setting in my mob then? I think the solution would be to delete and recreate it

I found the problem. Even though the entity was configured as a mob in the behavior tab and a monster in the spawning tab, i had mistakenly left the "Make this entity animal type, breed items" checkbox enabled in the AI and goals tab. Just a silly mistake on my part. Case closed the issue wasn't with the spawn condition procedure after all.
