Mob list

Drops and locations

Common rules

A custom mob is a regular Minecraft mob (zombie, skeleton, magma cube...) with overridden stats, appearance, skills and drop list. Combat behavior (walking, shooting, jumping) stays as in Minecraft.

• Persistence: all current mobs are persistent, meaning they do not despawn when a player moves away. They are saved together with the terrain and return after a restart with the same skills and drops.
• A mob's equipment never drops. Mobs do not pick up items from the ground.
• Minecraft drops are disabled. Only the mob's own drop list drops (section Drops and rewards).
• Burning in sunlight: a mob with burning disabled does not catch fire from the sun, but fire, lava and an enchanted sword still set it on fire.
• Mob level sets the difficulty for learning combat skills: a sword hit on a level N mob counts as a level N action (Skills and professions). A regular Minecraft mob has level 1.

Name tag and health bar above a mob

A two-line tag hangs above the mob's head. The top line is the level and the health bar, the bottom line is the mob's name in in-game colors:

• The bar has 10 squares. Filled squares are health, empty ones are lost health.
• The number of filled squares is rounded up, so a living mob always has at least one filled square. An empty bar means only death.
• The bar refreshes after every damage and heal, including ones from the mob's skills. At the moment of death it shows 0 and disappears together with the body.
• The tag is visible from about 16 blocks away and does not shine through walls (a regular Minecraft mob name is visible through walls from 64 blocks).
• A level below 1 is shown as 1.

The boss bar at the top of the screen (like the Wither's) only shows for mobs that natively have one in Minecraft. The current boss is a zombie, so it only has the tag above its head.

Mobs do not fight each other

Custom mobs never hurt each other and never target each other. A Ghost's arrow that hits another Ghost deals no damage and triggers no retaliation. This also applies to mobs of different kinds. Regular Minecraft mobs behave normally toward them.

Mob stats

Damage and armor are calculated with equipment and effects. * ranged attacker: the number applies only to the melee hit.

How mob skills work

A skill is a list of lines. Each line says: when (trigger), on whom (target), what (mechanic), with what chance, after what delay and how often. Lines can be grouped into named scripts, which the mob runs as a single mechanic.

1. Trigger. An event runs all of the mob's lines with that trigger, in list order.
2. Conditions. All of a line's conditions must be met (a condition can be inverted). They apply to the mob or its target.
3. Chance. The line's chance is rolled. A chance of 0 or 100% means "always".
4. Cooldown. A line that recently fired on this mob waits until its cooldown ends. The cooldown only starts after a successful roll, so a failed chance does not block it. Every mob has its own cooldowns.
5. Delay. The mechanic starts after the given time. If the mob dies during that time, the line is lost (except for the Death trigger).
6. Target and mechanic. The mechanic acts on each selected target separately.

• A script has its own conditions and its own cooldown (separately for each mob). Once they are met, it runs all of its lines; each has its own chance and a delay counted from the script's start.
• A script can call another script, at most 5 levels deep.
• The target radius is counted as a cube: +-r blocks on each axis from the mob, not a sphere. The mob itself is never its own target from a radius.
• Times in the panel are given in ticks: 20 ticks = 1 s.

Drops and rewards

When a mob dies, each entry on its drop list is rolled separately. A mob can therefore give several items at once, or nothing.

1. Farm: a mob from a farm skips "wild only" drops, DNA and keys, and its chance is multiplied by its variant's multiplier (Farms and incubators).
2. The killer's Magic Find raises the chance of rare drops only, meaning those with a chance of up to 5%.
3. Chance roll. A failed roll = that entry does not drop.
4. Amount: random from the minimum to the maximum (every value equally likely).
5. Looting on the killer's weapon adds a random 0 to L pieces (L = enchantment level), if the entry allows it.
6. Farm: the amount is multiplied by the variant's multiplier, and the fractional part becomes a chance for +1 piece.
7. The result is at least 1 piece.

A chance of 6% and higher is already "common", so Magic Find does not change it.

Where drops go

• A wild mob's drops go straight into the killer's inventory, skipping the locked menu slot. Overflow with a full inventory falls at the recipient's feet. Only the recipient can pick it up, and after 5 minutes the item disappears.
• In a party, drops are split among members within 48 blocks of the mob according to the mode chosen by the leader (Society and party).
• A farm mob's drops fall on the ground as in Minecraft.

Other kill rewards

• XP: XP orbs in the amount from the mob's card; a farm mob gives no XP.
• Keys open crates in the lobby (Crates and keys).
• Banker's contract: once accepted, every wild mob killed by the player counts toward 50 kills, and a boss toward 1 boss kill. Only the one who lands the last hit counts (Bank).
• Combat skills grow from sword hits on mobs, with the mob's level as the difficulty (Skills and professions).

Wild and farm mobs

The same mob can appear in the world (wild) or in an incubator on an island (farm). Farm details: Farms and incubators.

To be decided

• Mobs with no spawn. Mini Boss, Strong Zombie, Fire Slime, Forest Guardian, Elite Skeleton, Specter have no spawn point at all. A player can only meet them after an administrator summons them or another mob's skill does.
• Elite Skeleton: on-attack skills do not work. The Attack trigger only counts a melee hit, and Elite Skeleton shoots a bow, so its lines with the Attack trigger never run.
• Ranged attackers' damage. Elite Skeleton and Ghost shoot a bow. In Minecraft a skeleton arrow's damage depends on the bow and the difficulty, not on the mob's damage stat, so the entered damage (e.g. 14 on Ghost) does not apply at range. To be decided whether ranged attackers should get their own arrow damage.
• Permanent effects expire. Mini Boss and Fire Slime have effects lasting 999,999 ticks, about 13 h 53 min. A mob that lives longer (mobs do not despawn) loses them. A permanent effect should last indefinitely.
• The Resistance effect (Mini Boss) is saved under an old name from older Minecraft versions. To be checked in the game whether the mob gets it at all.
• Fire Slime has a random size of magma cube (as in Minecraft), and on death it splits into smaller, regular magma cubes with no stats, drops or tag. To be decided: a fixed size of 1 or disabling the split.
• Drop descriptions. Mini Boss's Nether Star has the name "Boss's Heart" and a description in the data, but the game issues a regular Nether Star. To be decided: a separate item or removing the description.
• Mini Boss's Potion has no defined effect, so an empty potion drops.
• Boss bar at the top of the screen. Mini Boss has the boss bar enabled, but it only shows for mobs that have it in Minecraft (Wither, Ender Dragon). To be decided whether bosses should get their own bar.
• Unused settings. Attack range, pushability, AI targets, rarity, the variant label (e.g. Old on Mini Boss) and spawn chance are stored on mobs but do not change their behavior in the game.
• Random equipment. A mob with no defined equipment can get random armor or a weapon like a regular Minecraft mob (skeletons always get a bow).
• Summoned mobs (e.g. Mini Boss's Strong Zombie) have full drops and XP and count toward the banker's contract. To be decided whether they should give rewards.
• Mob messages are written without Polish diacritics and in Polish only (e.g. "I will be back..."), although the rest of the game is bilingual.
