There was also the "Deadly Monsters Mod" on this server.
This mod spawns very many enemy mobs. That worked too. But no Vanilla Minecraft mobs were spawned (except Spawner or Spawnegg).
I have completely removed them (under mods and config)
Since she's gone, not a single mob spawns (not even peaceful ones).
PS: I do not know anything about such a thing. It would be nice if you write answers that everyone understands.
Enter in the chat / Gamerule domobspawning True
then it should work again
if not tell me!
I have already tried it twice.
Unfortunately not a single mob spawns (of course without Spawner or Spawnegg)
The problem has been resolved.
In the config of AirSupport you can set whether Vanilla Minecraft mobs are allowed to spawn or whether they can only "copy" them.
