Scaling Mobs
This is a server side mod that allows for scaling of the attributes health, damage and speed. Scaling can be done through lunar cycles, distance from spawn, altitude and time.
Here's a list of the configuration options that can be found in the scalingmobs.toml file within the configuration directory.
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| start | Float (default 0) | The start value of scaling |
| max | Float (default MAX_FLOAT) | The maximum value it can scale to |
| min | Float (default 0) | The minimum value it can scale to |
| scalingFactor | "DAYS","DISTANCE_FROM_SPAWN","LUNAR_PHASE","DEPTH","HEIGHT" (default "DAYS") | If scaling by "DAYS" it will increase the scaling factor/variable once per day. "DISTANCE_FROM_SPAWN" will scale by blocks from (0, 0) of where the mob spawned. (Useful to pull out a graphing calculator since it's hard to get right) |
| scalingType | "LINEAR","EXPONENTIAL","CONSTANT" (default "LINEAR") | Should it scale linearly or exponentially |
| increaseFactor | Float (default 1.1) | If scalingType is linear you can calculate final value approcimately by (start + scalingFactor * increaseFactor). If exponential then (start * increaseFactor ^ scalingFactor). If constant (increaseFactor) |
| startingFrom | Integer (default 0) | Determines when the scaling modifier start and is applied depending on the scalingFactor |
| activeNth | Integer (default 1) | A number of 3 means that the attributes will be applied every 3rd value of the scalingFactor. For scaling to be applied this number should be 1. (Do not put it to 0, that will crash the game.) |
| timeWhenActive | "DAY","NIGHT","BOTH" (default "NIGHT") | Determines when the modifier should be active, If "DAY" then it will only be applied at day time. |
# This is a example config. Each comment describes what the
# setting/modifier under it does
# All health modifiers get applied on top of vanilla/default attributes
healthAddOnTopOfDefault = true
# All damage and speed modifiers will be applied from 0, without the
# vanilla attributes
damageAddOnTopOfDefault = false
speedAddOnTopOfDefault = false
# Modifiers where "timeWhenActive" isn't set are only
# active at night because its default value is "NIGHT".
# For every block below Y=63 mobs gain hearts exponentially

# As you can see below one attribute can have as many different
# scaling modifiers as you want, here damage is both changed
# by days and their distance from spawn
# Everyday mobs do +0.5 more damage starting from 3 damage.
# This scaling will at most only give 10 damage.
# The scaling is only active every other day i.e day 1,3,5...
