Biome authority

BiomeProfile friendlyMobs and hostileMobs lists are used by MobSpawner; MobClass.spawnBiomes is serialized but not read by that spawner.

Day and caves

Insects

Only spawn outside while there is no precipitation; biome chunk spawning uses a 1-in-28 attempt and the global insect spawner caps the active count at 50.
