as i just had a little talk with someone who has the same issues, why not add clear spawning informations for custom mobs to the wiki? especially for nether hounds for those like me who see minecraft not as lego, but more like lego technic, this could be very usefull and less frustrating when dealing with custom stuff.
i don't care for the drops, but i care for the issues they make while building something but mman2832 you are right, that's an interesting aspect. any ideas how to solve that?
