Better /summon

Better /summon is a lightweight Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 that extends the vanilla /summon command with repeat counts and an optional random count range—perfect for testing, mapmaking, command workflows, and quickly spawning large batches of entities without copy-pasting the same command over and over.

What it adds

Better /summon keeps the normal /summon behavior, but lets you append either:

• a fixed repeat count (<count>)
• or a randomly selected count (random <min> <max>)

It works with the same /summon 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>

Examples

/summon minecraft:zombie 50
/summon minecraft:zombie random 5 20

/summon minecraft:creeper ~ ~ ~ 10
/summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {NoGravity:1b,Invisible:1b} random 3 12

Vanilla-safe behavior

• Uses Minecraft’s internal summon logic, so vanilla validation and rules still apply.
• random uses a cryptographically secure random source and picks one amount per command run.
• If a repeated summon fails mid-way, it stops immediately and reports how many were successfully spawned.

Guardrails & permissions

• Repeat range is limited to 1–10,000 per command.
• Invalid random ranges (like min > max) return a clear error.
• Requires the same operator-level permission as vanilla /summon.

Requirements

• Fabric (Minecraft 1.21.11)
• Java 21
• Fabric API
