Spawning mobs in Overworld ONLY
Sat, 03/03/2018 - 17:37 (edited)

I really want to make some of my mobs spawn in any biome, but only biomes in the Overworld, but I cannot figure out how to do this. If I set them to not be biome restricted, they spawn in every dimension, but having them be biome restricted only allows them to spawn in one biome.

As far as I can tell this string makes a mob spawn in the sepcific biome (in this case, oceans):

Biome.REGISTRY.getObject(new ResourceLocation("ocean"))); 

After hours of experimentation, I figured out that the code works for any two biomes if the string is like this:

Biome.REGISTRY.getObject(new ResourceLocation("ocean", "forest"))); 

However, as soon as I add a third biome, to the list, I get this error and it makes no sense at all PLEASE HELP ME! (If there is a simpler way to just have the code say "spawn in all biomes in dimension ID=0"

 This is wrong: Biome.REGISTRY.getObject(new ResourceLocation("ocean","plains","desert")));

This is correctly:

Biome.REGISTRY.getObject(new ResourceLocation("ocean")));

Biome.REGISTRY.getObject(new ResourceLocation("desert")));

Biome.REGISTRY.getObject(new ResourceLocation("plains")));

In the newer MCreator versions, there is an option where you can restrict the biome spawn thing. But also have it spawn in multiple biomes & also keep the mob in the OverWorld.

 

I hope that helped.

I was able to get it to work with hakann;s code. It was very very long, but it worked. I still just wish there was a spawn-by-dimension option so that it would alos spawn in overworld biomes introduced by other mods, like biomes o plenty or such. My main issue was just getting them to not spawn in the end, so I'm happy it worked.
