What it does

Mobs that spawn receive randomized equipment. From the 1.21.5 build onward, the equipment strength grows the farther a spawn sits from the world center at XZ 0. A data pack can add or remove the mobs that receive randomized equipment through a mobs tag list. The mod runs on the server, and clients may install it too. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with files for 1.21.3 – 1.21.5.

  2. Distance scaling

  3. Data pack control

    A data pack can add or remove mobs from the randomized equipment list through a tag.

What the author says

Starting with the 1.21.5 release, the mob equipment gets stronger the further away a mob spawns from the center of a world (XZ:0).
