Ok, deleted config and made changes through GUI. I should have it set up so that any block should be viable for them to spawn on, but yet they refuse to spawn on BOP blocks.
From what I understand, if I leave a blank entry in their blocks thing, they should be able to spawn on any type of block, right?
Edit: So what I find is happening is that when I change anything through the GUI, it automatically reverts to default on relaunch. Definitely explains the issues I have been having.

Welp. Stumped again. I was able to find the info on the biomes and whitelisted them. Loaded into betweenlands to see if the plants were spawning and nada. So I got curious and added swamp to the config, just to see. Still nada. Dug into betweenlands config looking for the dimension ID and it shows the default of 20. Maybe I set it wrong in the mowzies config?

^info from betweenlands config. Do I maybe need to add blocks specifically to allow them to spawn? I assumed they just would based on "grass" in the allowed blocks, but perhaps I need to add more specific blocks from BL? (and nether, as BOP is awesome and gives some quite nice nether biomes.)
edit: added multiple apropriate blocks to target for spawning still nothing. I can only assume that I have the dimension line set up wrong, but ive tried it with commas, just with spaces and with each dimension on its own line and still no luck. I am certain now that I have the dimension correct, so I am at a loss.
Figured it out after a lot of trial and error. Needs to be on own lines seperated by comma.

Buuuuut still no joy.
Edited config so that block spawns was blank, now i can only plant them on vanilla grass and any kind of leaves?? So very lost on why this refuses to work.
Thank you! I had been trying to figure this out for a couple days after mo'creatures got ripped as it was crashing people tying to fight bosses. Was picking up some replacement mods when I notices mobs that had not been spawning now were, and looked to see if you had added anything new. Keep being awesome boss.
Hey, I was looking through the configs, and you specify "A blank entry means all biomes. No entries means no biomes." What exactly do you mean by a blank entry vs no entry?

FOREST,MAGICAL,!SNOWY

This is for lanterns as you likely guessed. I was hoping to cause them to spawn in most biomes and only blacklist a couple(namely snowy/BOP specific biomes). (Super stoked you added the ability to change the biomes btw, it was something i had earlier asked about.) On initial impression I would think changing FOREST,MAGICAL to BLANK, or more likely just removing it outright would be the ticket, but I am very new to programming and I am not certain how to proceed.
My other question is how to cause the vicious plants to spawn in the betweenlands, I feel that they would fit right into that environment. I already amped up their spawn, hp and damage a fair bit- we all have high level gear on the server and I wanted them to be a real threat. I assume I would need to figure out what biome code is associated with the betweenlands then just plug it into the specified spot in your config, but I am uncertain where or how to get that info.

Ok. This is what the foliaath entry looks like from my config, yet for some reason it now refuses to spawn basically anywhere.
