Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.19.2 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.18.2 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.16.5 · Forge
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

SDM Mob Stages

SDM Mob Stages is a modern reimplementation of the original Mob Stages mod, created because the original developers have not ported their version to newer Minecraft releases. All versions below Minecraft 1.21 are considered outdated and no longer supported.

This version preserves the main idea — limiting or replacing mob spawns until the player reaches a specific stage — but has been completely rewritten with updated logic, new APIs, and native support for modern scripting tools.

Description

SDM Mob Stages allows you to control mob spawning based on player progression. With it, you can prevent specific creatures from appearing or replace them with others until a player unlocks the required stage. The mod integrates with both KubeJS and CraftTweaker, making it ideal for modpack creators and progression-based servers.

Usage Example

KubeJS

// Server_Scripts
MobStages.builderById("minecraft:pig", "stage_one")
    .biome("minecraft:plains")
    .biome("minecraft:forest")
    .replace("minecraft:zombie")
    .build();

CraftTweaker

import mods.modstages.MobStages;

MobStages.builder(<entitytype:minecraft:pig>, "stage_one")
    .biome(<resource:minecraft:plains>)
    .biome(<resource:minecraft:forest>)
    .replace(<entitytype:minecraft:zombie>)
    .build();

Features

Notes

This is a standalone port created and maintained for modern Minecraft versions. All earlier versions (1.20 and below) are deprecated and will not receive further updates. The mod itself does not add gameplay content — it functions as a library and configuration tool for modpack developers.
