Modded Entities in Spawn Flags

You can easily register modded entities into the spawn-monster and spawn-animal Flag GUIs. Simply add their entity names to your configuration:

flags-configuration {
   # Add MOD entities names for Animal or Monster spawn flags.
   # Check "textures.conf" for entity names.
   mod-entities {
       animals=[
           EXAMPLE
       ]
       monsters=[
           "VAMPIRISM_ADVANCED_HUNTER",
           "VAMPIRISM_ADVANCED_VAMPIRE"
       ]
   }
}

Custom heads and textures for the GUI icons can be defined in textures.conf.
