Dedicated to Anne McDonald.



## Purpose



My mother, Anne, enjoys playing Minecraft with me, but she's never liked dealing with hostile mobs, so we usually turn those off. The trouble is, without monsters, there are so many important items you can never get! What's more, Peaceful mode just makes things *too* easy. (We want to be able to eat.)



This data pack fixes all that!



While I was at it, I decided to fix a bunch of things that commonly drive my mother nuts about Minecraft: animals drops are more realistic, carrots and potatoes can be found elsewhere, and several "missing" recipes are implemented.



## Features



* This data pack provides alternative sources for all hostile mob drops. Some are craftable or smeltable, others come from non-hostile mob drops.



* Adjusts the loot tables for animals to be more realistic.



* Removes hostile mobs on any difficulty level. (You can control which types of hostile mobs spawn.)



I highly recommend you also install my other data pack [The Missing Recipes](https://github.com/codemouse92/the-missing-recipes), which is designed as a companion to this one. Many recipes previously included in this datapack, but not actually directly to mob drops, have been moved to there.



## Nightmares: Temporarily Allowing Monsters



Minecraft 1.21 added the new Trial Chambers for new combat challenges. Recognizing that players may want to enjoy

this challenge (or other specific situations) without allowing all monsters all the time, I've provided two ways

for you to temporarily enable monsters to spawn:



* If _any_ player has the Bad Luck status effect, or

* If _any_ player has the Raid Omen or Trial Omen status effect (not just Bad Omen).



Please take care in multiplayer, as the effects are global!



**If you really, _really_ don't want a type of monster to spawn, even during nightmares, enable the "never" rule

for the monster type. See Mob Control.



You can get the Bad Luck status effect from Nightmare Stew, a new recipe added

by this data pack. The Raid Omen and Trial Omen status effects come from entering

a village or trial chamber with the Bad Omen status effect, and that comes from

consuming an Ominous Bottle.



See Recipes for both recipes.



> NOTE: Because the Bad Luck status effect is not applied by anything in vanilla Minecraft, this was a reasonably

> safe status effect to use. However, be aware if you're using any other data packs or command blocks that confer

> Bad Luck, as they will also allow monsters to spawn.



## Recipes



### Crafting



#### Creeper Head



4 lime dye around a skeleton skull produces a creeper head.



![Creeper Head](img/creeper_head.png)



#### Dragon Breath



Crafted from 1 blaze powder (see Blast Furnace), 1 glowstone, 1 ghast tear,

and 1 sweet berries.



![Dragon Breath](img/dragon_breath.png)



Okay, I'll admit, the only reason berries are included here is because my mother was asking if there was *anything* she could do with berries besides eat them. In any case, it adds to the initial difficulty of crafting.



#### Froglight



Crafted from 1 slime block, 1 glow ink sac, and either a white, lime, or

yellow dye to determine the color.



![Froglight Pearlescent](img/froglight_pearlescent.png)



![Froglight Verdant](img/froglight_verdant.png)



![Froglight Ochre](img/froglight_ochre.png)



#### Gunpowder



Crafted from 1 coal or charcoal, 1 bonemeal, and 1 ghast tear.



![Gunpowder](img/gunpowder.png)

![Gunpowder](img/gunpowder2.png)



In real life, gunpowder is made from charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur.

I'm substituting ghast tears for saltpeter and bone meal for sulfur (although

that last one is a total scientific fabrication!)



### Music Discs



Crafted from 1 dye sandwiched between 2 phantom membrane. The type of dye

corresponds with the music disc.



![Music Disc](img/music_disc.png)



The recipe for 11 is hidden (unless you cheat and read the code!)



It is not possible to craft Pigstep: these are very rare, and can only

be found in the world.



#### Nether Star



Crafted from 8 blaze powder (see Blast Furnace) and 1 diamond.



![Nether Star](img/nether_star.png)



#### Nether Wart



Nether wart is now recoverable from nether wart blocks. One block yields nine

nether warts.



![Nether Wart](img/nether_wart.png)



### Nightmare Stew



Nightmare Stew is a brand new item added to this mod pack that confers the Bad Luck status effect for 10 minutes

(half a day). When _any_ player has Bad Luck, all hostile mobs will be able to spawn as normal. As per usual,

you can clear this effect by drinking milk.



Craft by combining 1 wooden bowl, 1 red mushroom, 1 brown mushroom, and 1 poisonous potato.

(Hey, that stew would give _me_ nightmares!)



![Nightmare Stew](img/nightmare_stew.png)



### Ominous Bottle



When _any_ player has the Raid Omen or Trial Omen status effect, all hostile mobs will be able to spawn

as normal. These come from entering a village or trial chamber while having the Bad Omen status effect,

and you get _that_ from consuming an Ominous Bottle. As per usual, you can clear this effect by drinking milk.



Craft by combining 1 glass bottle, 1 glow berries, 1 ink sac, and 1-5 fermented spider eyes, depending on

the desired strength. 1 fermented spider eye will give you Ominous Bottle I, 2 fermented spider eyes will

give you Ominous Bottle II, and so forth.



![Nightmare Stew](img/ominous_bottle.png)



#### Rotten Flesh



Pork, beef, or mutton can be fermented into rotten flesh when combined with

1 sugar and 1 brown mushroom.



![Rotten Flesh](img/rotten_flesh.png)



This recipe is based on that of a fermented spider eye.



#### Slimeball



Crafted from 1 kelp or cactus and 1 egg; yields 2 slimeballs.



![Slimeball](img/slimeball.png)

![Slimeball](img/slimeball2.png)



This recipe is inspired by real life glue made from mucilage, of which

kelp and cactus are prime sources. I replaced the water typically used with

egg, which can also be used to make adhesive in real life.



#### String



Crafted from 1 white wool (yields 14 string) or 1 white carpet (yields 9 string).



![String](img/string1.png)

![String](img/string2.png)



Of course, making yarn in real life is never this easy...



#### Totem of Undying



Made from 4 gold ingots, 2 emeralds, 1 gold nugget, and 1 nether star.



![Totem of Undying](img/totem_of_undying.png)



I like to imagine that it's the nether star which absorbs the damage for the player.



#### Trident



Made from 3 prismarine crystals (see Blast Furnace), 4 prismarine shards,

and 2 blaze rods.



![Trident](img/trident.png)



#### Zombie Head



8 rotten flesh around a skeleton skull produces a zombie head. Not sure why

you'd want this, but hey...here it is!



![Zombie Head](img/zombie_head.png)



#### Wither Skeleton Skull



Made from 1 skeleton skull and 1 coal or charcoal.



![Wither Skeleton Skull](img/wither_skeleton_skull.png)



#### White Carpet



Since 1 white carpet can yield 9 string (above), the inverse is true as well.



![Carpet from String](img/white_carpet.png)



#### Wool



3 carpet atop each other yields 2 wool of the same color.



![Wool from Carpet](img/white_wool.png)



### Smelting & Blasting



To preserve some challenge of obtaining materials previously only available as hostile mob drops, I've chosen to require use of a blast furnace on most of these. Presumably, it's the high temperature that transforms the materials.



#### Blaze Powder



Blasting crimson roots yields blaze powder.



![Blaze Powder](img/blaze_powder.png)



#### Blaze Rod



Blasting weeping vines yields a blaze rod.



![Blaze Rod](img/blaze_rod.png)



#### Dragon Egg



The Dragon Egg has always been a coveted decor item, but now it has another use:

a way to gain a lot of experience very quickly!



Placing a Dragon Egg into a blast furnace yields...itself. (What can we say,

dragon eggs really like being warm!) But it also produces *400 experience* in

the process!



![Dragon Egg](img/dragon_egg.png)



You're going to need a *lot* of fuel and time for this, however.



Don't worry about the dragon egg hatching, though — *that* takes thousands of

years. Just keep the egg warm, and you'll reap the benefits.



#### Ender Pearl



Smelting or blasting a warped wart block yields an ender pearl.



![Ender Pearl](img/ender_pearl.png)



#### End Rod



Blasting a twisting vine yields an end rod.



![End Rod](img/end_rod.png)



This is intended as a logical complement to blasting a weeping vine into a blaze rod; an end rod is a "warping" of a blaze rod, one of its constituent ingredients.



#### Ghast Tear



Blasting warped roots yields a ghast tear.



![Ghast Tear](img/ghast_tears.png)



#### Phantom Membrane



Blasting leather yields a phantom membrane.



![Phantom Membrane](img/phantom_membrane.png)



#### Prismarine Crystal



Blasting a prismarine shard yields prismarine crystals.



![Prismarine Crystal](img/prismarine_crystal.png)



I imagine this works because it refines the impurities out of the shard.



### Stonecutter



#### Skeleton Skull



You can carve a skeleton skull with a bone block on a stonecutter. (Added for my pal Scarecrowman.)



![Skull](img/skeleton_skull.png)



## Drops



### Animal Drops



Killing most animals now always yields bones and (if appropriate) meat. There is also a rare possibility of a skull being dropped. Larger animals drop more bones.



The amounts below are only without looting.



* Camel: 1-2 bones, 1-2 leather.

* Chicken: 1 raw chicken, 1-2 feathers.

* Cow: 2-3 raw beef, 1-2 bones, 1-2 leather.

* Donkey: 1-2 bones, 1-2 leather.

* Hoglin: 2-4 raw pork, 1-2 leather, 1-2 bones.

* Horse: 1-2 bones, 1-2 leather.

* Llama: 1-2 bones, 1-2 leather.

* Mooshroom: 2-3 raw beef, 1-2 bones, 1-2 leather,  1-2 red mushrooms.

* Mule: 1-2 bones, 1-2 leather.

* Pig: 1-2 raw pork, 1-2 bones.

* Rabbit: 1 raw rabbit, 1 rabbit hide.

* Sheep: 1-2 raw mutton, 1-2 bones.

* Skeleton Horse: 3-6 bones.

* Trader Llama: 1-2 bones, 1-2 leather, 1 blue carpet.



### Block Drops



Other wild plants might be hiding in the tall grass!



* Tall Grass -> Beetroot Seed

* Tall Grass -> Carrot

* Tall Grass -> Potato



In vanilla Minecraft, zombies are one of the only ways to get potatoes and carrots outside of finding them in a village. Since zombies are removed by this data pack, we needed another place to find these crops.



### Fishing



Several basic hostile mob drops have been added as junk or treasure from fishing, or else the probability of finding it has been increased.



* Bones (junk)

* Prismarine Shard (treasure)

* Rotten Flesh (junk)

* Spider Eye (junk)

* Wet Sponge (treasure)



Lilypads are now also junk from fishing in swamps, and their likelihood as treasure is more rare. Crafted junk is also rarer.



## Mob Control



The spawning of potentially hostile mobs are controlled by the datapack. Certain groups of mobs can be allowed or suppressed. By default, none of these groups are allowed to spawn.



Most mobs are actually removed from the world altogether, instead of being killed in place, to eliminate drops. The only exceptions to this are the ender dragon, to facilitate escape from the end, and the wither, to provide another source for nether stars.



There are three control levels for each mob type:



**Allow** permits the mob group to spawn normally. To allow a group, run `/function no-monster:control/allow/`.



**Suppress** prevents the mob group from spawning, except during nightmares. This is the default behavior. To suppress a group, run `/function no-monster:control/suppress/`.



**Block** prevents the mob group from spawning, even during nightmares. To block a group, run `/function no-monster:control/never/`.



> NOTE: The `spawn` game rules from previous versions of No Monster Minecraft still work, but you no longer need to set them directly!



For example, to enable Illagers, use:



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/illagers

```



To suppress Illagers again, run:



```

/function no-monster:control/suppress/illagers

```



To ensure Illagers can NEVER spawn, even during nightmares, run:



```

/function no-monster:control/block/illagers

```



### All



If you just want to allow, suppress, or block all monsters, use one of the

following commands:



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/all

/function no-monster:control/suppress/all

/function no-monster:control/block/all

```



### Illagers



These are the evil villager types.



* Evokers

* Illusioners

* Pillagers

* Ravagers

* Vexes

* Vindicators

* Witches



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/illagers

/function no-monster:control/suppress/illagers

/function no-monster:control/block/illagers

```



Remember, you can also disable only raids using Minecraft's built-in `disableRaids` gamerule.



### Arthropods



These are hostile overworld arthropods.



* Cave Spiders

* Silverfish

* Spiders



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/arthropods

/function no-monster:control/suppress/arthropods

/function no-monster:control/block/arthropods

```



### Creakings



Creakings are controlled separately, as they're a special type of mob.



* Creakings (Natural)

* Creakings (Spawned)



Natural Creakings, the ones that are linked to a Creaking Heart, do not actually

despawn. Instead, they freeze and remain silent, so you can hit them as much

as you want to generate resin from the Creaking Heart.



Spawned Creakings, which are not linked to a Creaking Heart, despawn like normal.



If you start allowing Creakings, or have a nightmare while only supressing them,

any natural Creakings which were frozen will become active again, so beware!



Control with one of these three commands:



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/creakings

/function no-monster:control/suppress/creakings

/function no-monster:control/block/creakings

```



### Creepers



Creepers are controlled separately, for those who don't like their stuff

getting blown to pieces...or perhaps do, but dislike other monsters.



* Creepers



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/creepers

/function no-monster:control/suppress/creepers

/function no-monster:control/block/creepers

```



### Slimes



These are slime-type mobs.



* Slimes

* Magma Cubes



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/slimes

/function no-monster:control/suppress/slimes

/function no-monster:control/block/slimes

```



### Undead



These are undead overworld hostile mobs.



* Bogged

* Drowned

* Husks

* Phantom

* Skeletons

* Strays

* Zombies

* Zombie Villagers



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/undead

/function no-monster:control/suppress/undead

/function no-monster:control/block/undead

```



> **Note:** The old `spawnMonster` rule no longer works; the Monsters category

> has been split into Undead and Slimes.



### Guardians



These are controlled separately, since guardian spawning is limited to ocean

monuments, and thus may still be wanted.



* Elder Guardians

* Guardians



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/guardians

/function no-monster:control/suppress/guardians

/function no-monster:control/block/guardians

```



### Nether Mobs



These are non-monster nether mobs; there are safe ways of interacting with

these.



* Piglins

* Zombified Piglins



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/nether_mobs

/function no-monster:control/suppress/nether_mobs

/function no-monster:control/block/nether_mobs

```



### Nether Hostiles



These are hostile nether mobs that don't quite classify as monsters.



* Hoglins

* Piglin Brutes



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/nether_hostiles

/function no-monster:control/suppress/nether_hostiles

/function no-monster:control/block/nether_hostiles

```



### Nether Monsters



These are most of the monster-like hostile mobs in the nether.



* Blazes

* Ghasts

* Wither Skeletons



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/nether_monsters

/function no-monster:control/suppress/nether_monsters

/function no-monster:control/block/nether_monsters

```



> **Note:** Magma Cubes are now controlled with `spawnSlimes`, due to their

> desirability in relation to overworld frogs in 1.19 and beyond.



### End Mobs



These are non-monster mobs in the End; these are safe ways of interacting with

these.



* Endermen



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/end_mobs

/function no-monster:control/suppress/end_mobs

/function no-monster:control/block/end_mobs

```



### End Monsters



These are monster-like hostile mobs in the End. Shulkers themselves are *always*

allowed to spawn, but eliminating the shulker bullets removes their means

of hostility.



* Endermites

* Shulker bullets



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/end_monsters

/function no-monster:control/suppress/end_monsters

/function no-monster:control/block/end_monsters

```



## Bosses



Because all items necessary to spawn bosses are accessible without other

hostile mobs being enabled, these can be controlled separately as well.



* Ender Dragon

* Wither



Dragons are automatically killed upon spawning, so they still drop their

loot and produce a portal. Withers are removed so they don't spawn cheap

nether stars - use the added recipe instead.



Wardens are not included in this group. See "Non-Controlled Mobs".



Control with one of these three commands



```

/function no-monster:control/allow/bosses

/function no-monster:control/suppress/bosses

/function no-monster:control/block/bosses

```



### Non-Controlled Mobs



One of the reasons for the datapack is the assumption that *some* challenge is

desired. Just for reference, the following mobs are potentially dangerous to

the player, but are not affected by this datapack:



* Bees

* Breezes (see note below)

* Dolphins

* Goats

* Iron Golems

* Llamas

* Pandas

* Polar Bears

* Pufferfish

* Shulkers (excluding bullets)

* Trader Llamas

* Warden (see note below)

* Wolves



All passive mobs are also unaffected.



#### Why Not Breezes?



I've decided not to control the Breeze with this data pack because they

can only spawn from trial spawners in trial chambers. Trial chambers only

exist for combat purposes, and can be avoided.



#### Why Not Wardens?



There are a few reasons I've decided not to control the Warden with this

data pack:



1. It can already be controlled with the `doWardenSpawning` gamerule.



2. Removing Wardens makes the Deep Dark and Ancient Cities quite a lot

   less interesting.



3. They have no drops, because you're supposed to be avoiding them anyway.



## Other Functions



The functions under `no-monster/internals` are only intended to be used by the mod itself.

Using them yourself may have unintended consequences...including, potentially, killing yourself.

Don't use these. Just don't.
