Subject: [PATCH] Added non_spawn_dictionary and function for getting mob light
 levels The non_spawn_dictionary will cover all mobs that don't spawn
 naturally, and holds the the minimum and maximum light values for each of
 them. A function has also been created that will go through both the
 spawn_dictionary and the non_spawn_dictionary and determine which one a mob
 exists in, with the execption of slimes which cannot spawn from a custom
 spawner at the moment.

Mobs who don't have light levels for the world that you are currently trying to set your custom spawner in will default to their overworld values
