This mod reverts the pre 1.18 spawning

[GamingIQ]

Is your suggested enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

Before 1.18 I think it only had to be like light level 7 for mobs to spawn, but now it's light level 0. When using this mod/data pack, mobs can 1 spawn right next to you, but 2 if there is just a LITTLE bit of darkness, they spawn. Creepers are now overpowered with this mod because of this. A charged creeper spawned right next to me and then as soon as it came out of the ground it exploded, ending my 100-day Minecraft world!

Describe the solution you'd like

Make it so that it has to be light level 0 for them to spawn, and that they can no longer spawn right next to you.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Sorry about that 😅
Spawn Animations does not modify spawn requirements, it just changes the moment mobs become visible to the player (they become visible when they are within the activation distance (default: 20 blocks around players), get hurt, or are near a target). To better match vanilla behavior, set the activation mode to vanilla in the settings menu. When doing this, I'd also recommend increasing the activation distance to allow further away mobs to play the animation

LITERALLY
Creepers spawn in front of me when Im running from zombies.. Sometimes i need to have few torches more in the same chunk and yet they spawn...
Eh :/
Thats sad, because mod is really good!

As stated in my previous comment, you can change this behavior. If you don't want the surprise effect (which I personally like), increase the activation distance and set the activation mode to vanilla
