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>
