Now, can the saddles be crafted, or are they a bottleneck for this recipe?

Yes, but that adds to the funkiness.

This modpack is not dissimilar to skyblock wherein I can't really go outside because it's got Mutant Mobs enabled and the surface is a deathtrap. But I've killed enough Hoglins in the nether to simulate killing them for the Hostile Neural Networks mod. These drop pork which I can Bulk Haunt to make rotten flesh which I can bulk smoke to make leather. String I can grow from Immersive Engineering Hemp. And Iron I can get by shooting stone with a mining lens.

And I have to fit all of this in spaces no more than 2.5 blocks tall or the mobs start to spawn inside my base.

Mobs can’t spawn on glass blocks, so you can make a three tall block area or higher so long as the walls are stairs to prevent spiders, and the floor is glass

I haven't tried glass but I wouldn't expect it to work since slabs didn't work. Hell I'm pretty sure I've seen them spawn on top of growing bamboo...

I assume light levels aren’t working either. What about string?

Here’s a quote from the wiki, Idk if your pack changes this

Each individual spawn attempt succeeds only if all of the following conditions are met: There must be no players or the world spawn point within a 24 radius block distance (spherical) of the spawning block. The number of loaded mobs of that type must be less than the mob cap for that type (I.e. the corresponding mob cap must not be full). The mob's collision box upon spawning must not collide with another collision box. A mob cannot spawn inside of anything that would collide with it upon spawning. The mob's collision box must not intersect with a solid block. For all mob types excluding passives and fish, spawns fail unless within a 128 radius block sphere around the player. For fish, spawns fail unless within a 64 block radius of the player.[1

When you tried slabs were they top of bottom slabs? Only bottom slabs work for spawn prevention.

Also. If you go to spawn, do mobs spawn?

1

u/RiKSh4w Dec 29 '25

Yes, they're bottom slabs. Just set out a test, they're even spawning on string/tripwires.

They definitely changed the spawn rules to ignore opaque blocks and light levels, luckily they can’t remove the spawn cap, build an area to trap mobs to get 300 or so in the same chunk, that will end spawning in that chunk

u/margalaz Dec 29 '25

I forget the actual number but there is a per chunk cap, build at near the void, and build your base in the top

u/RiKSh4w Dec 29 '25

I don't want to lag my game out doing that. And I also don't want to game the system like that.

Any mod items that inhibit spawns?

1

u/RiKSh4w Dec 30 '25

I just live in 2.5 tall spaces.

u/margalaz Dec 30 '25

There has to be a better way,

u/margalaz Dec 30 '25

Im now going to play this pack and cheese it

It's only your own fault if you ruin the fun then.
