ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.18.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Hostile mobs appear with skins taken from a list of player names, and a server can add names to a whitelist so only chosen ones are used. A mob may be friendly toward a player who shares its name, and it can drop the head of the skin it wears. Players can also drop their own head when killed, depending on a config option.

Installation needs Client and server, so both the server and every player run it. Player Mobs is published for Forge and NeoForge across 9 release versions, 1.18.1 – 1.21.1, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later.

  2. Server name whitelist

  3. Player head drops

    Mobs drop the head of their skin, and players can drop their own head on death if the config allows it.

Questions

Does Player Mobs need to be installed on both sides?

Yes. It is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod.

How is a mob spawned manually?

Use the command /playermobs spawn <name> with an optional position. The list of remote names can be reloaded with /playermobs reload.
