As the title says, how would I go about checking the dimension and not just the biome from scratch ? I've had some users of my mod say a sky dimension was spawning my monsters in it because it used vanilla biomes in its generator, so I wanted to add a an additional check to my mob spawning conditions to make sure that its only the overworld/end/nether variants of the biomes and not random dimensions!

 

My Entity Registration/Spawning Code

public class ExplorerEntities {
    private static List<EntityType> entities = Lists.newArrayList();
    private static List<Item> spawnEggs = Lists.newArrayList();

   
    public static final EntityType<EnderreeperEntity> ENDERREEPER = createEntity(EnderreeperEntity.class, EnderreeperEntity::new, EntityClassification.MONSTER, "enderreeper", 0.6F, 1.99F, 3801171, 7078066);

  	/* Unneeded Code Redacted */

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void registerEntities(RegistryEvent.Register<EntityType<?>> event) {
        for (EntityType entity : entities) {
            event.getRegistry().register(entity);
        }

        EntitySpawnPlacementRegistry.register(ENDERREEPER, EntitySpawnPlacementRegistry.PlacementType.ON_GROUND, Heightmap.Type.MOTION_BLOCKING_NO_LEAVES, MonsterEntity::func_223325_c);


  

    private static void registerEntityWorldSpawn(EntityType<?> type, int weight, int minCount, int maxCount, Biome... biomes) {
        for(Biome biome : biomes) {
            if(biome != null) {
                biome.getSpawns(type.getClassification()).add(new Biome.SpawnListEntry(type, weight, minCount, maxCount));
            }
        }
    }

    public static void registerEntityWorldSpawns() {

        if(EntityConfig.enderreeper_enabled.get()) {
            registerEntityWorldSpawn(ENDERREEPER, 5, 1, 2, Biomes.THE_END);
            registerEntityWorldSpawn(ENDERREEPER, 8, 1, 2, Biomes.END_BARRENS, Biomes.SMALL_END_ISLANDS, Biomes.END_HIGHLANDS, Biomes.END_MIDLANDS);
        }
        //&& DimensionType.getById(0) == DimensionType.OVERWORLD
        if(EntityConfig.enderreeper_overworld_spawn_enabled.get()) {
            EnderreeperEntity.addSpawn();
        }

        if(EntityConfig.enderreeper_nether_spawn_enabled.get()) {
            registerEntityWorldSpawn(ENDERREEPER, 5, 1, 2, Biomes.NETHER);
        }
    }
}

 

My Enderreeper addSpawn() code:

 //==== Spawning ====//
public static void addSpawn() {
  ForgeRegistries.BIOMES.getValues().stream().forEach(EnderreeperEntity::processSpawning);
}

private static void processSpawning(Biome biome) {

  if (biome != Biomes.MUSHROOM_FIELDS || biome != Biomes.MUSHROOM_FIELD_SHORE || biome != Biomes.NETHER) {
    biome.getSpawns(EntityClassification.MONSTER).add(new Biome.SpawnListEntry(ExplorerEntities.ENDERREEPER, 2, 1, 1));
  }

}

 

How would I go about this? unfortunately i've been away from modding for a good few months and i'm rusty as hell, so any help regarding this would be massively appreciative! Many Thanks

How does vanilla do it for Zombie Pigmen?

The zombie pigmen are just spawned as a spawn condition on the nether biome, aren't they? I'm not having a problem spawning them in the dimension, its adding additional checks to make sure that it is a particular dimension, so my mobs don't randomly spawn in say, a birch forest biome on a sky island in the sky dimension mod.

 

this.addSpawn(EntityClassification.MONSTER, new SpawnListEntry(EntityType.ZOMBIE_PIGMAN, 100, 4, 4));

 

I'm basically, trying to clean up some of the bugs in my 1.14 version to make it more polished before working on my 1.15 version, so hopefully, someone can help me figure this out

MonsterEntity::func_223325_c

Check that method out, then write your own and replace this in the EntitySpawnPlacementRegistry call.

Thanks, that might actually work! Might be difficult for me to test but hopefully it works
