About the mod

No Hostiles Around Campfire is a configurable mod which prevents hostile mob spawns around the campfire in a configurable radius. The mod will also prevent modded entities from spawning if they are classified under "EntityClassification/MobCategory.Monster". When there are hostile mobs around the campfire while placing it, the mod will burn them for 30 seconds, until they're dead or until the campfire is broken.

The Soul Campfire in the 1.16 version is compatible! This is configurable.

Some entities might not be classified as "Monster" but can still be hostile to players. There is a custom list within the mod which contains these specific entities. If you've found one, let me know via the issue tracker so I can add it to the list.
Currently on the list: FoxHound from Quark.
