About this Mod

Better /summon is a lightweight, server-side Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 (Java 21) that extends the vanilla /summon command with repeat counts and an optional random count range. It's built for testing, mapmaking, command workflows, and anyone tired of copy-pasting the same /summon line ten thousand times.

The mod doesn't re-implement summoning — it wraps Minecraft's own SummonCommand.summon(...) in a small, safe batching layer. That means vanilla validation, NBT parsing, mob-cap rules, and side effects (raids, boss bars, etc.) all still apply. The only thing it changes is how many times that vanilla call is made.

What it adds

Better /summon keeps normal /summon behaviour and adds, on top of each existing form, either:

  • a fixed repeat count (<count>), or
  • a random count in a range (random <min> <max>, inclusive).

Both modes work with the three vanilla branches you already know:

  • entity only
  • entity + position
  • entity + position + NBT

Command formats

/summon <entity> <count>
/summon <entity> random <min> <max>

/summon <entity> <pos> <count>
/summon <entity> <pos> random <min> <max>

/summon <entity> <pos> <nbt> <count>
/summon <entity> <pos> <nbt> random <min> <max>
