Entity Random Spawn

Requires ItemsAdder 4.0.11 or greater!

You can make custom entities randomly spawn in your world, exactly how vanilla mobs do.

This is an example to make an example red_zombie spawn.

It will spawn only with a 20% chance of when a vanilla zombie spawns. It will replace the vanilla zombie with the custom one.

It will spawn only in worlds of which name starts by world, between world height 0 and 150 during weather RAIN and with light level from 0 to 10.
