Royal Variations

Royal Variations is a compact mod that adds enhanced royal versions of standard mobs to the game, featuring unique traits and special drop items. These creatures will periodically appear in the world, each with their own abilities, increased experience, and loot, including new useful items. The mod makes survival more diverse and challenging without overloading the game with excessive mechanics.

The appearance of specific mobs can be disabled through game rules.

The mod was created using MCreator.

The mod requires GeckoLib to work.

Creatures

Royal Zombie

Has enhanced characteristics. Always appears accompanied by two regular zombies. In battle, it can equip nearby zombies with a special Knight's Helmet and an iron sword, increasing their defense and damage. When attacking a target, it applies the "Chosen Victim" effect, under which all undead around the target receive a speed bonus.

Unique drop:

Royal Skeleton

Has improved characteristics. Its shots are significantly stronger than usual, capable of knockback and critical headshots. When hitting the head, the target becomes weakened and slowed, and is also highlighted through blocks. When attacked, the Royal Skeleton jumps back and moves away from the attacker.

Unique drop:

Royal Creeper

Has increased health and movement speed. Is under the constant effect of toxic spores, which it spreads upon explosion. A player affected by toxic spores receives poisoning and slowing effects, while monsters under this effect receive increased speed and damage. If the Royal Creeper is killed before exploding, the spore effect only spreads to monsters around it.

Unique drop:

Items

Spiritual Crown Shard

Periodically drops from any royal mob. Required to create the Spiritual Crown.

Spiritual Crown

Right-clicking on a mob allows you to transform it into its royal variation (if it exists). The item is single-use.

Royal Staff

Occasionally drops from the Royal Zombie. Pressing the right mouse button increases the defense and damage of all players and tamed creatures around you. Loses one durability when used. Can be used as a melee weapon and repaired with gold.

Royal Knight Helmet

Rarely can drop in broken form from zombies equipped with this helmet from the royal zombie's aura. Has good protection and can be repaired with iron.

Royal Bone

Periodically drops from the Royal Skeleton. With it, you can instantly tame a wolf. It can also be used to make royal bone meal.

Royal Bone Meal

Made from royal bones. Works like regular bone meal but only in a 3 by 3 block area. Can also be used to make Spectral Arrows.

Royal Gunpowder

Drops from the Royal Creeper. Required to make the Royal Bomb.

Royal Bomb

A throwing bomb with a large explosion radius. When it explodes, it scatters all destroyed blocks like TNT. When hitting an enemy, it deals high damage to them and nearby enemies, but when hitting a block, the damage from the blast wave is negligible.
