The monster spawning setting determines whether hostile mobs like zombies, creepers, and skeletons naturally appear in your world. Disabling this feature creates a peaceful environment perfect for building projects without combat interruptions.
Here's how to enable or disable monster spawning on your Minecraft server.
Configuring Monster Spawning
- Log into your GhostCap panel and stop your Minecraft server
- Navigate to the Files section
- Open the
server.properties
file and locatespawn-monsters=
- Set the value to
true
(enable monsters) orfalse
(disable monsters) - Save the file and start your server
What This Setting Controls
When spawn-monsters=false
, hostile mobs will no longer spawn naturally in your world, creating a safer building environment. However, friendly animals like cows, pigs, and sheep will continue to spawn normally, maintaining the world's natural ecosystem without the danger.
This setting is ideal for creative building servers, educational environments, or when you want to focus on construction without constant mob threats.
