Mob Showdown
by Paojiao134
Mob Showdown lets players pit any entities from other installed mods against each other in staged one-on-one battles, with a chat announcement when a champion falls.
What it does
The mod sets up a fight between two champions chosen from mobs of different factions. Once the battle starts, the system tracks both champions and announces the winner in chat when one of them dies. A lightweight utility, it is aimed at players who enjoy cockfighting-style mob battles and want to see which creature comes out on top.
Several options shape each match. An Invisible AI setting keeps mobs from staring at the player, a Bad Effects option blocks harmful potions and buffs, and an Aggressive AI Injection setting pushes each side to strike its rival first. A God Mode Cameraman setting makes the player invincible and takes no damage, so the player can watch the fight safely. Mob Showdown requires Architectury API on both Fabric and Forge. Files cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. It is published for Fabric and Forge and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
