What it does

Whitelisted mob types can spawn as champions with stronger stats and extra effects. Each champion gets a rank, and higher ranks carry better stats and more effects. Relative weights set how often each rank appears, and the defaults make most spawns common mobs, with rare, epic and legendary champions appearing much less often. The mod is built on vanilla mechanics and is meant for players who want a more challenging experience in their adventures.

Champions drop legendary loot, including rare items that are not otherwise obtainable. Nearly every aspect can be changed through the configuration, which can be edited with a GUI or through configuration files. The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.21.1, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and the code is licensed under the MIT License.
