AlaHorde

Hostile mobs grow stronger as you kill them — a global per-species kill counter raises HP, damage, speed and XP for every new spawn.

How it works

Every hostile mob (MobCategory.MONSTER — zombie, skeleton, creeper, witch, enderman, blaze, ghast, wither, ender dragon, warden, …) has its own world-wide kill counter. Every 25 player kills of a species bumps that species to the next level — every NEW spawn of that species after that point comes in stronger.

Stat	Per-level scaling	Attribute
Max health	+10% over base	MAX_HEALTH
Attack damage	+8% over base	ATTACK_DAMAGE
Movement speed	+5% over base	MOVEMENT_SPEED
XP drop	+10% over base	via LivingExperienceDropEvent

Cap at level 20 by default. All thresholds and multipliers are configurable in serverconfig/alahorde-server.toml or via the in-game Mods → AlaHorde → Settings UI.

Each spawned mob gets a styled [Lv.N] label above its head, color-tiered by level (gray Lv.1 → white 2-5 → yellow 6-10 → gold 11-15 → red 16-20). The label is occluded by solid blocks — no X-Ray cheating; the level only shows when the mob is in line of sight.

When a species levels up, all players within the configured radius get a chat broadcast and flame/smoke particles burst at the kill site.

Bosses (Wither, Ender Dragon, Warden) are included by default — only attribute base values are touched, so boss AI phases stay intact.

Commands

Command	Permission	What it does
/alahorde info	everyone	Shows the tracked species with current level, kill count and threshold to the next level
/alahorde reset all	op (level 2)	Resets every species' kill counter to zero
/alahorde reset <mob_id>	op (level 2)	Resets a single species (e.g. /alahorde reset minecraft:zombie)

Configuration

The config file lives at <world>/serverconfig/alahorde-server.toml. The same options are editable from the in-game Mods → AlaHorde → Settings screen.

Option	Default	Description
general.enabled	true	Master switch — when off, the mod is fully inert (no scaling, no labels, no kill counting)
general.killsPerLevel	25	Kills required per level-up
general.maxLevel	20	Level cap; kills are still counted past it
general.excludedMobs	[]	Entity ids opted out of the system (e.g. ["minecraft:bat"])
scaling.hpMultiplierPerLevel	0.10	HP gain per level (0.10 = +10%)
scaling.dmgMultiplierPerLevel	0.08	Attack damage gain per level
scaling.speedMultiplierPerLevel	0.05	Movement speed gain per level
scaling.xpMultiplierPerLevel	0.10	XP drop gain per level
visuals.showLevelLabel	true	Show [Lv.N] above mobs
visuals.showLevelUpMessage	true	Broadcast a chat message on level-up
visuals.levelUpMessageRadius	-1	Notify radius (blocks); -1 = entire server

Compatibility

• Other mods: mob tags / categories from other mods are respected. Use excludedMobs to opt out specific species.
• Modpacks: zero hard dependencies. Drop in and go.
