Additional Spawn Constraints
A server-side dependency mod that allows JSON mods and patching to control various spawn conditions; does nothing on its own!
AdditionalSpawnConstraints will look for an additionalSpawnConstraints object inside an entity's /attributes object. This can be included on new entity JSON files, or patched in via JSON.
An example for some properties is below, applied via a patch to drifter.json:

The properties that can be set within additionalSpawnConstraints are:
-
"minRegionStability" : The minimum region stablity required when spawning the entity; does not take into account rifts nor rift proximity.
-
"maxRegionStability" : The maximum region stablity required when spawning the entity; does not take into account rifts nor rift proximity.
-
"canSpawnOn" : A list of block codes that are valid for spawning the entity on; supports globs and regex to handle variants.
-
"cannotSpawnOn" : A list of block codes that are not valid for spawning the entity on; supports globs and regex to handle variants.
-
"changeTemporalStormSpawnMechanics" : Determines if other properties can affect temporal storm spawning, where applicable; default is false if unspecified. Does not apply to "minRegionStability" or "maxRegionStability". Only affects entities that are spawned during storms.
- Properties related to health scaling on spawn.
- Natural Spawns : Limits drifters to spawning on soil and other natural blocks, even during storms.
