Okay, here’s my experience with the “Minecraft InControl” mod:
So I started a server with this zombie apocalypse modpack I threw together, right? I wanted to crank up the spawn rate to make things super challenging for me and my buddies on Aternos. That’s when I stumbled upon this mod called “InControl!”. It sounded perfect ’cause it lets you mess with all sorts of mob-related stuff in Minecraft. You can tweak their spawning, their loot, all that good stuff.
I dug into it, and it turns out this mod works with these rule files. They’re all tucked away in the “config/incontrol” folder. The main one I was interested in was “*.” I think there were, like, five different rule files you can play with, but that was the key for what I wanted to do.
Now, let me tell you, figuring out the syntax for these rule files was a bit of a headache at first. The “*” file was especially different from this older “*” file that’s only for version 1.12. I’m on 1.16 or higher, so I had to ignore that one. Thank goodness for the wiki, though. It helped clear up a lot of the confusion.
After some trial and error, I finally got the hang of it. I started by experimenting with simple rules, you know, just to see how it all worked. For example, I tried blocking certain mobs from spawning in specific biomes. Then, I got a bit bolder and started messing with the spawn rates themselves. I wanted way more zombies, so I bumped up their numbers like crazy. And you can even control which dimensions certain mobs can appear in. It’s wild!
- I tested it out with my friends, and it was a blast. We were completely overrun with zombies. Exactly what I wanted!
- Then, I dabbled a bit with the loot rules. You can make mobs drop certain items, or even change the probability of them dropping something. So, for example, I made it so zombies always dropped rotten flesh, ’cause, why not?
Overall, I’ve had a ton of fun with the “InControl!” mod. It really gives you a whole new level of control over your Minecraft world. If you’re into customizing your game and making things more challenging, or even just plain weird, you should definitely check it out. Just be prepared to spend some time figuring out those rule files. Once you get the hang of it, though, it’s totally worth it!
