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.

| Mod Loader | Minecraft | Java | Fabric API |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fabric | 26.2 | 21+ | 0.158.0+ |
- Client-side: Required (for announcements, nametags)
- Server-side: Required (all logic runs server-side)
- No custom status effects — uses only vanilla effects
- No world gen / block / item additions — safe to add/remove mid-save
📦 Installation
- Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.2
- Install Fabric API (required)

- Config-driven — no code changes needed for balance tweaks
- No hard dependencies beyond Fabric API
- Tested on: Fabric 0.19.3+, MC 26.2
🐛 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
abilityCountfield is required
