Infused Mobs

Hostile mobs spawn with occult-infused tiers and randomized abilities — fully configurable via JSON.

---

🎮 Overview

Infused Mobs transforms vanilla hostile mobs into dynamic, unpredictable threats. Instead of every zombie or creeper behaving identically, mobs now spawn with occult tiers that grant them randomized abilities — making every encounter unique and every farm run a gamble.

Abilities are drawn from a unified pool (all trigger types mixed together). A Cinder mob might get a HURT poison ability, a TICK speed buff, or a DEATH explosion — you never know what you'll face.

Tier	Spawn Chance	Health	XP	Abilities
🟢 Cinder	40%	1.5×	1.5×	1 (any type)
🟡 Shade	20%	2×	2×	2 (any type)
🔴 Doom	10%	4×	4×	3 (any type)

~30% of hostile mobs remain vanilla — infused mobs are common but effects are weak (configurable).

⚔️ Ability Types

HURT (fire on melee hit or projectile hit, blocked by shields)

Ability	Effect	Duration
Bane	Poison I	3s
Chill	Slowness I	3s
Decay	Wither I	3s
Hellfire	Ignite	3s
Siphon	Heal 100% of damage dealt	—
Vitriol	4 durability to all armor	—
Hex	Weakness I	3s

Shield blocks negate all HURT abilities. Projectiles (arrows, fire charges, etc.) fired by infused mobs also trigger their HURT abilities on hit.

---

TICK (passive, refreshes every 1s, no particles)

Ability	Effect	Duration
Ward	Resistance I	3s
Frenzy	Strength I	3s
Wraith	Speed I	3s
Blight	Regeneration I	3s
Thorns	Reflects 15% melee damage	—

---

DEATH (trigger on kill)

Ability	Effect
Rupture	Splits into 2 Cinder-tier copies at 60% health (each gets 1 random ability from the unified pool, DEATH abilities filtered to prevent recursion)
Combust	Area damage + explosion sound at death (configurable power, default 4.0 — TNT = 4.0)

---

🎯 Announcements

The first time an infused mob hits you, a chat message announces its tier and all abilities:

⚡ DOOM Zombie has: Bane, Ward, Rupture

This only happens once per mob per player — no spam.

🐛 Known Issues

• Split copies from Rupture are always Cinder-tier (by design, to prevent recursion)
• Nametags use Minecraft color codes (§a, §e, §c, §7) — visible in vanilla
• Old configs (pre-2.5.0) must be deleted; the new abilityCount field is required
