Group Enhanced
by cwh070401
Group Enhanced changes how zombies, creepers, skeletons, spiders and endermen fight, so monsters act as coordinated groups instead of individuals.
What it does
Zombies call nearby monsters for backup and push together to overwhelm a target. Creepers shorten their fuse time and can explode instantly when they get close. Skeletons hold a fixed shooting distance and keep backing away rather than chasing a player too far into low light. Spiders apply Slowness on a hit and gain a speed boost while chasing. Endermen teleport behind a player instead of moving at random.
The mod works on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required, and Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional. Cloth Config adds a GUI for 18 parameters, which can also be changed in real time with gamerule commands, and Mod Menu provides a built-in entry for the settings. Files cover 1.20.1 only, and the latest Fabric file is an alpha release published 2026-06-04 under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Coordinated zombie groups
Zombies summon backup and attack together, so a single player faces a pack rather than separate enemies.
Creeper fuse behavior
Creepers compress their fuse time and can detonate instantly once they reach a player.
Skeleton spacing
Skeletons maintain a set shooting distance and retreat instead of closing in on a target.
Spider and enderman tactics
Spiders slow a target on hit and speed up when chasing, while endermen teleport behind a player on purpose.
Adjustable parameters
Eighteen gamerules and a Cloth Config screen let server owners and players tune monster behavior without leaving the game.

How it compares
Remove Baby Zombies is server-side only, CC0 1.0 Universal licensed, not open source and published for 1.20.1, so it only changes baby zombies. Scary Creepers is also server-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, covering 1.19.4 – 1.20.4, so it targets creepers rather than a group of monsters. Group Enhanced covers five monster types, runs on client and server, and has files only for 1.20.1.
