Control Monster Spawning (Mobs) on Your Minecraft Server

Control monster spawning settings on your Minecraft server

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

  1. Log into your GhostCap panel and stop your Minecraft server
  2. Navigate to the Files section
  3. Open the server.properties file and locate spawn-monsters=
  4. Set the value to true (enable monsters) or false (disable monsters)
  5. 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.
