help me find a mod to control mob spawns

[Mondef]

I'm working on a custom map, and I need to be able to make mobs spawn in dimensions where they usually don't.

Specifically I'm using Galacticraft, and no mobs spawn in the "Space Station" dimension. I need a set of mobs to spawn given normal spawning rules.

Anybody have any idea what mods I can use to do this?

I believe believe command blocks can already do this, don't ask me how though. Never tooled around with command block but I have seen them used to spawn mobs.
There's also a mod called "Almost accidentally circumstantial events" or something like that. I think it lets you script events. Like if player enters area then spawn x amount of y mob.

Command blocks can be used to summon mobs, but not in a random constantly spawning way.

I would like to have mobs spawn in the Space station dimension as though it was the overworld.

My understanding of Almost accidentally circumstantial events. is that it is very scripty. Great for custom maps, but again, not what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the thought.

I use vanilla command blocks some time. The command you're thinking of is "/gamerule DoMobspawning true/false.

I tried this, it does not work.

Galactricraft has blocked normal spawning in this dimension, I need a way to overpower this block.

So do regular spawners even work? Can you use mob eggs? Would just like to know the nature of how Galacticraft prevents mobs from spawning.
Is there any reason why it's gotta be a Space station dimension?

Tested:

Both spawn eggs, and vanilla spawners will create mobs.

No it doesn't have to be the space station age exactly. I need it to be an age that has no galactricraft air, and that is empty (void age). I can turn any of the preexisting planets into a void age without issue, but I would lose out on the new gravity-less movement that you get in the space station age.

If we can overcome the spawning, it'll be perfect. Otherwise I'll have to settle for something else.

Hmmk so you need the airlessness. I did a google search and I'm surprised that with the advent of custom challenge maps that a mod with features like you have suggested doesn't come up.
So essentially you want to add mobs to a specified dimension's spawning table. Have you checked Galacticraft's config at all?

Yeah, I checked all of Galactricraft's config files. I've even posted on the forums over there to (with no success).

It's a tricky thing I'm wanting to do... but.. It seems like there should be a solution.
