+Base IV owners can purchase and expand a persistent Pocket Base with `/basesettings pocket upgrade`. Activating a complete diamond-block portal frame inside the normal base with flint and steel opens one public entrance to the owner's grass platform in a private void world. The owner can move the return portal by building and igniting another complete frame inside the unlocked Pocket Base boundary; only the newly activated return portal remains functional. Natural hostile and passive mob spawning is disabled by default. Owners can control each category independently with `/basesettings pocket mobs <hostile|passive> <enable|disable>`.
+
+Owners can change biome metadata without altering Pocket Base blocks, entities, inventories, or portals by using `/basesettings pocket type <void|nether|overworld> <subtype>`. Void uses `the_void`; Nether and Overworld accept their compatible vanilla biome names, such as `crimson_forest` or `plains`. Each change defaults to 16 netherite blocks, is configurable, and affects applicable natural mob selection when spawning is enabled. The Pocket Base remains a void-generated normal-environment world; dimension-specific mechanics do not change.

+## 2026-08-24 — Pocket Base mob-spawning control
+
+- Disabled natural hostile and passive mob spawning by default in new and existing Pocket Bases without a saved preference.
+- Added independent persisted owner settings through `/basesettings pocket mobs <hostile|passive> <enable|disable>`, contextual autocomplete, and status reporting.
+- Migrated each legacy combined mob-spawning preference to both categories to preserve existing behavior.
+- Reapplied both saved spawn flags when Pocket Base worlds load and restored both prior world settings when persistence fails.
+- Verified the feature with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-08-24 — Relocatable Pocket Base return portals
+
+- Allowed Pocket Base owners to activate a complete return portal frame with flint and steel anywhere inside their unlocked pocket boundary.
+- Persisted one active return portal location while retaining the generated portal as the default for existing Pocket Bases.
+- Made only the selected intact frame functional without removing old frame blocks, preserving the void-return safety fallback.
+- Verified the feature with `./gradlew clean check jar`.
+
+## 2026-08-24 — Purchasable Pocket Base biomes
+
+- Added `/basesettings pocket type <void|nether|overworld> <subtype>` with type-aware autocomplete and validation.
+- Defaulted new and unconfigured Pocket Bases to `void/the_void` and persisted each owner's selected biome.
+- Applied biome metadata across unlocked columns and new expansion rings without changing blocks, entities, inventories, portals, progression, or mob-spawning preferences.
+- Added an atomic, configurable biome-change payment that defaults to 16 netherite blocks and restores the prior biome and payment on failure.
+- Verified the feature with `./gradlew clean check jar`.

+# US-018: Control Pocket Base mob spawning
+
+As a **Pocket Base owner**, I want to enable or disable hostile and passive natural mob spawning independently in my Pocket Base so that I can choose which kinds of normal mob activity its private world supports.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [x] Hostile and passive natural mob spawning are both disabled by default in every new Pocket Base and in existing Pocket Bases that have no saved preference.
+- [x] A Pocket Base owner can use `/basesettings pocket mobs hostile enable|disable` to control hostile natural mob spawning in their own Pocket Base.
+- [x] A Pocket Base owner can use `/basesettings pocket mobs passive enable|disable` to control passive natural mob spawning in their own Pocket Base.
+- [x] Changing one mob category does not change the other category.
+- [x] The commands are unavailable until Pocket Base I is unlocked.
+- [x] The commands, categories, and modes are offered through contextual autocomplete.
+- [x] `/basesettings status` displays the current hostile and passive Pocket Base mob-spawning settings.
+- [x] Both preferences persist across restarts and are reapplied when the Pocket Base world loads.
+- [x] Existing saved `mob-spawning-enabled` values migrate to both category preferences, preserving prior behavior.
+- [x] Disabling either natural-spawning category does not remove existing mobs or prevent explicitly spawned or summoned mobs.
+- [x] Persistence or world-application failures produce a clear failure message, restore both prior world flags, and do not report a successful change.

+
+As a **Pocket Base owner**, I want to change my Pocket Base biome so that I can control its biome-specific atmosphere and natural mob selection without rebuilding it.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [x] A Pocket Base owner can use `/basesettings pocket type <void|nether|overworld> <subtype>` to select a compatible biome.
+- [x] Void supports `the_void`; Nether supports its vanilla biome subtypes; and Overworld supports its vanilla biome subtypes.
+- [x] New and previously unconfigured Pocket Bases default to the void type and `the_void` subtype.
+- [x] Each change atomically charges a configurable currency and amount that default to 16 netherite blocks.
+- [x] Selecting the active subtype or providing an invalid type/subtype combination is rejected without charging.
+- [x] Changing subtypes within the same type incurs the configured cost.
+- [x] The selected biome is applied across every unlocked Pocket Base column without changing blocks, entities, inventories, portals, level, or the mob-spawning preference.
+- [x] Newly unlocked terrain receives the selected biome.
+- [x] When natural mob spawning is enabled, Minecraft can use the selected biome for applicable natural mob selection.
+- [x] The selected type and subtype persist through restarts and appear in `/basesettings status`.
+- [x] The command, types, and compatible subtypes are offered through contextual autocomplete.
+- [x] Failed biome application or persistence restores the prior biome and does not consume payment.
