Improved Mobs (Fabric)
Looking to diversify your Minecraft experience and make your world truly challenging? This mod offers numerous enhancements to hostile creatures to drastically increase the game's difficulty level.
Mod Features
Dynamic Difficulty System: The game introduces a difficulty indicator that by default increases by 1 each in-game day. Many mob characteristics scale based on this value.
Enhanced Enemy Attributes: As difficulty increases, all hostile mobs gain more health, deal increased damage, move faster, and become more resistant to knockback.
Mob Equipment: Enemies can now spawn in various armor types, with weaker armor being more common. The system supports armor from other mods and can be enchanted.
Smart AI and Environmental Interaction:
- Mobs can destroy specific blocks in their path
- AI considers the possibility of obstacle destruction when building routes
- Enemies actively use ladders for climbing
- Without a target, mobs search nearby chests to loot their contents (only containers not yet opened by players are protected)
Special Abilities:
- In aquatic environments, attacking mobs can summon guardians for movement
- If the target is unreachable by normal means, enemies summon parrots for flight
- Villagers are now attacked not only by zombies
Item Usage: Mobs utilize various items like real players:
- Ender Pearls for teleportation to distant targets
- Flint and Steel for setting opponents on fire
- TNT for throwing explosives (doesn't destroy blocks)
- Snowballs for ranged attacks
- Lava Buckets for creating temporary obstacles
- Bows, like regular skeletons
- Splash Potions of Harming for group attacks
- Enchanted Books granting special abilities to nearby mobs
Pet Improvements: Your tamed animals no longer take damage from your attacks (exception: when sneaking). You can also equip pets with armor by right-clicking them while holding the sneak key.
Technical Capabilities
Server operators have access to commands for managing the modification. All settings can be finely adjusted through the configuration file, including the ability to enable/disable individual features.
Important Notes
The modification doesn't require installation on the client, but players without this mod won't be able to see the current difficulty value.
