About this Mod
A simple Forge mod for 1.20.1, for players who want to quickly disable problematic mobs without looking up the id, tweaking a config file and then restarting their game.
Simply right-click any mob with the wand to blacklist it (or use commands). Blacklisted mobs are immediately removed from the game world and cannot respawn.
It works by intercepting Minecraft's mob spawn events and canceling them for blacklisted entities.
All changes automatically save to a JSON config file.
You require OP level 2 to use the wand or commands.
Commands:
- /mobwand list - Shows all your blacklisted mobs
- /mobwand add
- Blacklist a mob by ID (like minecraft:creeper) - /mobwand remove
- Allow a mob to spawn again - /mobwand clear - Clears the blacklist
- /give @s mobwand:mob_wand - Give yourself the wand (or use the creative tools tab)

MobWand server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is MobWand compatible with forge?
MobWand officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with MobWand – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if MobWand consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
