Unholy Mobs can randomly empower some spawning hostile mobs with powerful variant types, making them significantly tougher.
Latest mod version: 1.2.1.
Currently Supported versions:
- Minecraft 1.19.2 — Forge
- Minecraft 1.20.1 — Forge
- Minecraft 1.21.1 — NeoForge
The mod must be installed on both client and serwer
The mod currently introduces four variants of special mobs:
| Variant | Default spawn chance |
|---|---|
| Insane | ~1% |
| Extreme | ~0.2% |
| Grandpa | ~0.04% |
| Silent | ~0.008% |
- Each higher tier includes all strengths of the previous ones and adds more on top. Power grows roughly exponentially between tiers.
- Empowered mobs gain a particle aura and a prefix in their name, making them distinguishable from normal mobs.
Enhanced mobs receive:
- Increased health, damage, attack speed and movement speed
- Regeneration, resistance and knockback resistance
- On-hit debuffs applied to the player, such as Slowness, Weakness, Poison or Nausea
- Special behaviour for the strongest variants, like teleportation, periods of invisibility or sound reduction
- Increased damage for melee and projectile attacks
- Protection from damage caused by their own projectiles, potions and special explosions
Only Silent mobs can teleport, with a configurable cooldown and range. Invisibility and sound suppression are also exclusive to the Silent variant.
Improved loot for defeating Unholy mobs:
- Significantly more experience
- Extra items (ores, resources, rare materials)
- Enchanted books with low to high-level enchantments
- Special Variant Cores
Advancements & Kill Tracking:
- First-kill advancements available for all variants.
- Additional advancements track total Unholy mobs defeated at 10, 100, 2,500 and 10,000 kills.
Target Health Bar:
When the player aims at a Unholy mob, a target health bar appears at the top of the screen. It displays the mob's variant name and its current and maximum health.
The client configuration can disable the health bar, hide the variant name or display health as a percentage.
Unholy Mob Variants Modifiers:
Attributes:
| Variant | Health | Damage | Speed | Knockback Resistance | Armor and Armor Toughness | Attack Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Insane | 2x | 2x | 1.3x | +0.25 | +4 | 1.5x |
| Extreme | 4x | 3x | 1.6x | +0.5 | +8 | 2x |
| Grandpa | 8x | 4x | 2x | +0.75 | +12 | 4x |
| Silent | 16x | 6x | 2.5x | +1 | +16 | 6x |
Levels of Permanent Effects:
| Variant | Resistance | Regeneration | Fire Resistance | Water Breathing | Dolphins Grace |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Insane | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Extreme | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Grandpa | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Silent | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
Unholy Creepers become powered and use variant-specific explosion radii: 4 for Insane, 7 for Extreme, 10 for Grandpa and 13 for Silent.
Explosions triggered by Unholy attack can damage but do not destroy terrain.
Random events:
Silent Night:
At the beginning of night when the moon rises, there is a chance (~0.1% default) for the night to be "Silent" - if this happens, spawn rates of the silent mob variant are increased 400x, event ends with the sunrise.
Unholy Night:
At the beginning of night when the moon rises, there is a chance (~1% default) for the night to be "Unholy" - if this happens, spawn rates for unholy mobs are increased 10x for each variant, event ends with the sunrise.
Silent Night takes priority over Unholy if both events occur at the same time
Active events end at daybreak and cannot be skipped by sleeping.
Configuration & Commands:
Unholy Mobs provides an extensive configuration system.
Gameplay and server settings are stored in:
config/unholy_mobs-common.toml
The gameplay configuration allows server owners to customize:
- Natural spawn chances for every Unholy variant
- Health, melee damage, projectile damage, movement speed and attack-speed multipliers
- Armor, armor toughness, knockback resistance and additional damage
- Passive and on-hit effect levels, durations and probabilities
- Silent teleportation, invisibility and sound suppression
- Core conversion rules and eligible creatures
- Entity and dimension whitelists or blacklists
- Unholy Creeper properties
- Unholy Night and Silent Night chances, multipliers and behaviour
- Unholy Blade damage bonuses and held effects
- Loot availability, drop chances and quantity multipliers for every variant
- Additional experience and Variant Core drops
- Particle amounts, frequency and render distance
Client-side interface settings are stored in:
config/unholy_mobs-client.toml
They can also be changed directly through:
Mods → Unholy Mobs → Config
The in-game client configuration controls the target health bar, variant name visibility and whether health is displayed as exact values or as a percentage.
Gameplay settings are controlled by the server. When playing multiplayer, Unholy Blade tooltips automatically display the server's configured damage bonuses and effect levels.
Unholy Mobs allows you to adjust (besides config) Unholy Mobs spawn rates and chances for random events:
Using "/unholy_spawn_chance" command you can set/get/multiply the spawn chances of each variant:
- /unholy_spawn_chance <variant> set <percent> percent - sets the spawn chance to provided percentage.
- /unholy_spawn_chance <variant> multiply_times <multiplier> - multiplies current spawn chance for variant.
- /unholy_spawn_chance <variant> get - shows you current spawn chance of variant.
- /unholy_spawn_chance <variant> reset - restores the current configured default spawn chance.
Spawn command examples:
- /unholy_spawn_chance Insane set 4 percent
- /unholy_spawn_chance Extreme multiply_times 6
- /unholy_spawn_chance Silent get
- /unholy_spawn_chance Insane reset
Similarly using "/unholy_event_chance" command you can set/get/multiply the chance for specific event:
- /unholy_event_chance <Unholy_night|Silent_night> set <percent> percent - sets the event chance to the provided percentage.
- /unholy_event_chance <Unholy_night|Silent_night> multiply_times <multiplier> - multiplies the current event chance.
- /unholy_event_chance <Unholy_night|Silent_night> get - shows the current event chance.
- /unholy_event_chance <Unholy_night|Silent_night> reset - restores the current configured default event chance.
Event command examples:
- /unholy_event_chance Unholy_night set 5 percent
- /unholy_event_chance Silent_night multiply_times 2
- /unholy_event_chance Silent_night get
- /unholy_event_chance Silent_night reset
Note that lower variants take priority when spawning. This means that if the chances are set to 100% for both Insane and Extreme, the mob will attempt to become Insane first, in this case causing its variant to always be set to Insane.
