Mob Banners
by Darkhax
Mob Banners is a Forge adventure mod that hangs decorative banners to mark combat conquests against mobs.
What it does
Each banner records a kill, so a player who defeats enough of one creature earns a banner that commemorates that conquest. The mod works with mobs added by other mods, including modded mobs spawned from spawn eggs, and only kills counted after it was installed are tracked. Kills made before installation do not add to the count, and the required number is fifty kills of the same mob.
The mod suits single-player worlds and multiplayer servers where players want a visible record of their victories. Server owners can change the number of kills needed in the configuration file, and a config option turns off the debuffs that some mobs apply. Bookshelf is required and must be installed alongside Mob Banners on Forge.
Mob Banners is published for Forge 1.12.2 only, with the latest file 1.0.8 dated 2023-06-07 and marked alpha. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and source code and an issue tracker are public.
