Special Mob Variants

Each variant changes one vanilla mob in a specific way. A Creeper variant is shaped like a flower and attacks with a pollen cloud that applies several negative effects, while another Creeper variant resembles a brewing stand and throws potions that raise speed and strength for nearby hostile mobs. A Zombie variant throws blocks at a distant target, causing small earthquakes at close range, and other zombies nearby play a drum that increases their strength. A Skeleton variant shoots much further than a normal skeleton with higher accuracy, and it fires fireworks at targets. A Spider variant spawns smaller spiders and spreads cobwebs wherever it walks.

Some variants also add spawns and biome features. Several appear at night or during a full moon, in deserts or near oceans, and one spawns the Overgrowth biome. Other spawns place large monster rooms underground that guard a loot chest, and some variants take part in raids. The mod needs NeoForge and runs for Minecraft 1.21.8 only. Installation is required on the client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is under the MIT License and the project is not open source.
