(int): how many blocks above the ground the entities will spawnspawnRate
(int): an entity will spawn near each player every x ticks (on average) while the event is activespawn
(list of EntitySpawnOption): the types of entities that will spawn during this eventwhen
(EventConditions): what situations this event should start underchance
(int): how likely the event is to start. the chance for the event to start each check is (1/chance). the check is made for each possible event whenever it switches between day/night or raining/clear. the event will last until the next check.replace
(boolean): what happens if another data pack has already defined an event of this name. if true, the existing event will be deleted and this file will be used instead. if false, the contents ofspawn
