Skeletal Plus
by gamerbenyt
Skeletal Plus, a Forge mob mod, changes skeletons and slimes with new variants that appear in different biomes.
What it does
The mod adds new skeleton and slime types, each tied to a biome, so skeletons found in deserts and other regions look and behave differently from the vanilla versions. A desert skeleton and an end variant with slimeballs are among the additions. Slime behavior is adjusted in the End, where the slimes' AI handles size changes and splitting.
Models for the changed mobs scale with size changes, although the hitbox does not follow the model in every case. The additions are inspired by a video series about silly Minecraft ideas, and the author notes that the content overlaps with that series. Skeletal Plus runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod.
