I have an Pixelmon server up and running. I know that spawn-monsters = false disable Pokemon from spawning, but enabling it spawns monsters like Creepers and Skeletons too. Is there an command that I'm missing?
I didn't change the pixelmon.hocon file from Pixelmon. This is my server.properties

While changing the server difficulty comes with additional side effects, if your intention for the server is to focus specifically on pixelmon, you may want to change the difficulty to peaceful. This will disable the spawning of anything that is aggressive towards the player, but should not include pixelmon creatures.
Additionally, in the pixelmon configuration file, there is a setting called "allowVanillaMobs" which by default is supposed to be set to false, disallowing all vanilla mobs.
Two choices seem to be your best bet:
If you want to simply disallow vanilla monsters you should set the difficulty to 0 (Peaceful)
If you want to focus solely on pixelmon and forego survival, you should double check if allowVanillaMobs is set to false. I would recommend setting the difficulty to peaceful anyway, so hunger does not become an issue.
