How do I make mobs slowly respawn up to a certain cap?
Posted On: January 27, 2023

I am currently making a Legend of Zelda themed adventure map. I am struggling to make it, so enemies spawn every few minutes but not spawn large amounts over time. I have tried using things like hopper clocks to time when enemies spawn but after a while it turns into a large swarm of unwanted enemies. I am looking to make it so if an enemy has already spawned another will not spawn.


Example: if there are 5 enemies in a room, there will never be more than 5. So even if a few are killed, a few minutes later more will respawn, but no more than 5 in total.


Question from user Opllusion at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

You can store the result of the execute if entity subcommand to count how many entities there are and then execute based on that.


You will need a dummy scoreboard objective (let's say count) and a fakeplayer to store the amount in (let's say $zombies).


Now we can count the amount of zombies and only summon another one if there are 4 or less zombies in total:.


execute store result score $zombies count if entity @e[type=zombie].


execute if score $zombies count matches ..4 run summon zombie.
