Lure is a mod which overhauls the vanilla mob spawning system. Expect to see a massively higher amount of monsters aswell as almost no pre-existing land creatures, which are obtained instead by the player constructing suitable conditions that will lure the mob to spawning. It does not affect modded mob spawns or fish.
Warning: This mod is EXTREMELY difficult.
Creature spawn conditions consist of two factors:
- The floor: This is the block the mob requires to spawn ontop of. (ex. pigs need mud)
- The surroundings: The blocks directly next to the floor must have 1-4 of the surrounding block ontop of them. (ex. pigs need 1x carrot plant)

- x1 Carrots > Pig
- x1 Mangrove Roots > Frog
