Mob Battles
Mob Battles lets players stage fights between mobs, with team setup, a selection tool and timed duels run from chat and right-clicks.
What it does
A player picks one mob as the first fighter by right-clicking it, then right-clicks a second mob to set up a battle between them. Mobs can also be grouped into teams, and a team is chosen by right-clicking the mob that will join it. Holding SHIFT and right-clicking air clears the current selection.
When a battle starts, a three-second countdown is announced in chat. Bossbars appear over both players and show how much health each side has left. The mod supports multiplayer, so a group of friends can watch, place bets and run small events. It runs on the Fabric loader, and the server and every player need it, because the environment is client and server. The code is under the MIT License, but the mod is not open source.
Key features
Mob-versus-mob duels
Two mobs are matched against each other, and the fight is decided by health until one side is defeated.
Team battles
Mobs are arranged into customized teams through a simple interface, so full team fights can be planned.
Battle Axe selection
A Battle Axe lets players select the mobs that take part, marking them for the next battle.
Countdown and health bars
A three-second timer is shown in chat, and bossbars over both players display the remaining health.
