How to stop patrol spawning in your Minecraft server

Patrols are hostile mob groups that spawn in specific biomes such as deserts, badlands, and savannas. They consist of one patrol commander and up to five other patrol members, and Patrols can be dangerous to encounter, as they will attack players on sight and can cause significant damage, which is why we will teach you how to prevent them from spawning in this article!

How to patrol spawning in your server?

1- Start your Minecraft server from your server’s control panel, then open your game then click on “Multiplayer

2- Click on “Add Server

3- At “Server Address” enter your server’s IP, which you can find in your server’s control panel, then hit “Done

4- You will find your server added to the servers list select it then hit “Join Server

5- Open the in-game chat, then run this command /gamerule doPatrolSpawning false then patrols will not spawn naturally in the game, and players will not encounter them while exploring the world
