Adapted Mobs

by call13

Adapted Mobs, by call13, reworks the creepers and other hostile mobs of Primitive Mobs into vanilla-style mobs with new behavior and spore-based items.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.1

What it does

Adapted Mobs is presented by its author as the successor to Primitive Mobs, with revamped versions of those mobs and new ones planned for later releases. Its mobs are passive until provoked, and a single nearby hostile mob can be targeted to gain a strength and speed buff. Below half health, a hostile mob with that buff switches to an offensive mode and attempts to explode.

The mod adds Gunpowder TNT, Mystery Eggs in several rarities, nighttime in the Overworld and a number of items. Explosions do not damage terrain under the default config settings, and charged TNT still damages blocks. Platform and YetAnotherConfigLib are required, and Tolerable Creepers is optional for a matching set of creepers. Adapted Mobs runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21.1 only, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Passive until provoked

    Adapted Mobs hostiles stay calm until a player provokes them, then follow the buff rules described above.

  2. Spore items

    Reaper, Leaper and Seeper spores are throwable items, and a killed creeper releases a spore cloud that matches its type.

  3. Spore Barrel

    A light Spore Barrel produces the same effect as a planted spore flower pot and works as a decoration.

  4. Gunpowder TNT

    Thrown TNT blocks detonate shortly after landing, and mobs can be made to run away from them when they get too close.

Questions

Does Adapted Mobs need Fabric API?

No. The required dependencies are Platform and YetAnotherConfigLib, and Fabric API is not listed among them for this mod.

Does Adapted Mobs have to be installed on the server?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

What does Tolerable Creepers add to Adapted Mobs?

With Tolerable Creepers installed, three creepers gain matching Creeper Spores, which is an optional integration rather than a requirement.
