Latest file for v1.19.3:
driftersbelongunderground_v1.0.1.zip 1-click install


Makes drifters spawn only underground, and with very low artificial light level, or at least wherever natural light would not have been able to reach.

Based off 'Drifter Overhaul Mod' by Grifthegnome. I just changed one of the values, "blocklight" -> "maxlight" as well as the maxLightLevel value.

Changes:

[
  {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/server/spawnconditions/runtime/lightLevelType",
    "value": "MaxLight",
    "file": "game:entities/land/drifter.json",
    "side": "Server"
  },
  {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/server/spawnconditions/runtime/maxLightLevel",
    "value": 4,
    "file": "game:entities/land/drifter.json",
    "side": "Server"
  },
  {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/server/spawnconditions/runtime/maxYByType/*-normal",
    "value": 0.98,
    "file": "game:entities/land/drifter.json",
    "side": "Server"
  }
]

Did you turn them off, or did you turn them invisible ?

There's a pretty big difference between the two. Invisible rifts are, well, invisible, and don't drain your temporal stability or affect the player in any way, but still spawn drifters.

If you have actually turned them off, then it is a bug and you should probably report it on the discord. Also, press C to see the current Rift Activity : AKA How Many Holes The World Has Today.

R4d6 Unfortunately not... I think that turning rifts off changes their spawning rules in some other way so they can still appear on the surface. That's actually what brought me to this modpage -- I turned off temporal rifts a few days ago, but I'm still getting 5-10 drifters growling outside my door every night.

You know you can just do the /worldconfig temporalRifts off command to prevent drifters from spawning on the surface at all, right?

I'm having drifters periodically spawn on the surface at night in 1.19.7.

I believe the issue is fixed now :)

hey there, the mod isnt working for me, drifters still spawn on the surface at night time. im playong on 1.19 rc 4 with the 1.19 rc 3 version wich is the only 1.19 version you have 

(the newest update fixed it)

Thank you for this. I didn't know we could change the light level requirements. Glad that light sources don't need to be spammed and the atmosphere doesn't need to be ruined with oil lamps every 5 blocks for a place to be safe.
