Hello,

what is the proper way to spawn entities with forge?

I was using this:

ModLoader.addSpawn(EntityCow2.class, 1, 1, 4, EnumCreatureType.monster);

 

But with this, the entity was spawning like hell, especially in a flat world.

No.  Because you're doing it through Forge ModLoader.

 

EntityRegistry.addSpawn(EntityBlinkDog.class, 8, 2, 4, EnumCreatureType.monster, BiomeGenBase.plains);

 

And for spawn eggs:

 

EntityList.addMapping(EntityBlinkDog.class, "Blink Dog", 4, 14342901, 8026845);

 

You'll have to look up what each of the ints do, the only ones I remember are the second two in the spawn egg (the big ones): they refer to the base and spot color on the egg icon.

I replaced it with:

  EntityRegistry.addSpawn(EntityCow2.class, 60, 1, 4, EnumCreatureType.creature);

 

Problem: now it doesn't spawn at all

You'll have to add a last perimeter to addSpawn.

That's the list of biomes your mob can spawn in.

The way you have it now it won't spawn in any biome.

oh well, i thought thisway it will spawn everywhere. ill try it

Nope, you have to use a line for every biome.
