spawnlist (Spawnlist 1.0 library for Minecraft Beta 1.0

Class spawnlist

java.lang.Object
  spawnlist

public final class spawnlist
extends java.lang.Object
extends java.lang.Object

Provides utility methods for modifying the minecraft mob spawn list. The goal is to make an API for mods to use that want to modify the spawn list without interfering with each other or even conflicting. There are two kinds of methods, each in a Monster and a Creatures variety:

add(Monsters|Creatures)ToSpawnList: Adds mobs to the given biomes' spawnlist
remove(Monsters|Creatures)FromSpawnList: Remove mobs from the given biomes' spawnlist

Accepts standard minecraft biome names as the biome arguments:

Rainforest
Swampland
Seasonal Forest
Forest
Savanna
Shrubland
Taiga
Desert
Plains
Ice Desert
Tundra
Hell

Also, the following convenience collective biomes are allowed, which are shortcuts for collections of the above biomes:

Surface biomes: Base & Desert & Swamp
Hell biomes: Hell
Desert biomes: Desert, Plains, Ice Desert, Savanna
Base biomes: Rainforest, Seasonal Forest, Forest, Shrubland, Taiga, Tundra
Swamp biomes: Swampland

Mob arguments are variadic and can be either the mob's registered name or the actual mob class, or mixtures of the two. For example:

 spawnlist.addMonstersToSpawnList("Surface biomes", "Giant", "Ghast", "PigZombie", "Slime");
 spawnlist.addMonstersToSpawnList("Surface biomes", ef.class);
 spawnlist.removeMonstersFromSpawnList("Surface biomes", "Creeper", "Zombie", "Spider", "Skeleton");
 spawnlist.removeCreaturesFromSpawnList(new String[]{"Desert biomes", "Rainforest"}, "Cow");
 spawnlist.addCreaturesToSpawnList("Hell biomes", "Chicken");
 spawnlist.addCreaturesToSpawnList("Surface biomes", fc.class);
 spawnlist.addMonstersToSpawnList(new String[]{"Tundra", "Seasonal Forest"}, Wolf.class);
