Nice Rarity Mobs
by NiceRon
Nice Rarity Mobs gives hostile mobs one of four rarity tiers, and each tier changes the health they have and the loot they drop.
What it does
When a hostile mob spawns, it can take one of four rarities: Common, Rare, Legendary or Mythical. Higher tiers carry more health, with 50, 75, 100 and 125 Health Points as the listed values, and drop better loot in return. Lower tiers drop only ordinary items, while the top tier can drop a random enchanted armor piece.
The loot covers several kinds of reward. Some drops are valuables such as diamonds, redstone and emeralds. Others are bundles filled with items drawn from 12 themes, or a randomly chosen enchanted book. The drops come from config files, so server owners can adjust the tables instead of accepting the defaults.
The mod runs on the server, and players need nothing installed to benefit from it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest files are for 1.21.5, with builds covering 1.21.3 – 1.21.5. Forks of Paper, such as Purpur, need the allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards setting enabled for the mod to work properly. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
