Leveled Mobs

by lullaby

Leveled Mobs scales hostile mobs by distance from spawn, so enemies farther out carry more health and damage.

What it does

Each mob receives a level that rises the farther it spawns from the world origin. Distance Per Level sets how many blocks pass before the level increases, and Max Level caps it. Health, attack damage and maximum bow power each have their own scaling factor, so the rise in difficulty can be tuned per stat. Names above mobs can be shown or hidden with the Visible Names option.

Server owners running survival or role-playing worlds can use it to make distant areas more dangerous than the spawn area. The mod is intended for SMP and RPG servers, where it adds progression without building a custom system. Mobs marked with the tag leveled mobs.mob.ignore skip the leveling process, which allows exceptions for bosses or scripted encounters.

Leveled Mobs requires a server and is optional on the client. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 26.3 as the latest release. The mod is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code is public.

Key features

  1. Distance-based levels

    Mobs gain levels as they spawn farther from the origin, so enemies grow stronger the farther a player travels.

  2. Adjustable scaling

    Max Level, Distance Per Level and separate factors for health, attack damage and bow power each set how strong leveled mobs become.

  3. Visible level names

    An option shows or hides the level above each mob, letting server owners choose how much information players see.

  4. Tag-based exclusions

    Mobs with the tag leveled mobs.mob.ignore are left unchanged, so specific entities can be kept at their normal strength.
