Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.21. File opened and checked on 21 Sep 2026; downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
Install this datapack to disable Pixelmon's vanilla mob overriding mechanic (allowing zombies, spiders, etc to spawn!)
Note: If you want mobs to spawn naturally (ie at night, in caves), you will also need to change `allow-vanilla-mobs` to `true` in your `config/pixelmon/config.yml` file.
This project supports both Pixelmon's 1.16 and 1.21 versions. Make sure you download the correct file for your version.
(This mod is the exact same as my datapack, but provided in mod form for easy installation.)
