Champions
Champions gives hostile mobs in Forge worlds a random rank, and higher ranks bring heavier combat and better drops.
What it does
Any hostile mob that spawns can become a champion, and most mobs stay ordinary. A champion is recognizable from a distance by the colored particles it emits and by a health bar that appears on screen when the player looks at it. Each champion's rank is drawn at random, with higher ranks progressively rarer, and every step up in rank makes the champion tougher and more rewarding to defeat.
Affixes are the special traits a champion carries, such as Adaptable, which reduces repeated damage of the same type, and Desecrating, which periodically creates a harmful cloud under its target. The affixes of a champion are listed beneath its health bar, so players can judge its threat before engaging. Ranks and affixes are both adjustable in the serverconfig folder through champions-ranks.toml and champions-affixes.toml, and the mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later.
Champions is published for Forge only, with 7 release versions 1.12.2 – 1.18.2 and the latest file 1.18.2-2.1.6.3, dated 2023-02-09. Players and servers both need it, since the mod runs on client and server.
