Stronger Armored Mobs
by Luc1fer1o
Stronger Armored Mobs is a NeoForge server mod that replaces vanilla armor and weapon rolls on selected mobs with JSON-defined equipment.
What it does
The mod overhauls mob equipment spawning for the mobs listed in its configuration. Only mobs named in the applicable mobs list use the modded armor logic, while other mobs keep vanilla behavior. Equipment sets are defined through JSON using leather, chainmail, golden or iron armor items, and a full-set roll can spawn a complete matching set on a mob, such as full leather armor, with a set chance controlling how often that happens.
Pack makers can also tune per-slot rolls, separate enchantment pools for armor and weapons, optional weapon rolls that add swords while keeping vanilla weapon behavior, and status effect rolls that give configured mobs effects such as Resistance or Speed. Everything is handled in one generated config file, and a debug option logs roll results and effects to the console.
The mod is published for NeoForge and only for the 1.21.1 version. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Configurable mob list
Only the mobs named in the applicable mobs list receive the modded armor logic, so the change stays limited to chosen creatures.
Custom equipment sets
Armor sets for leather, chainmail, golden and iron items are defined through JSON, with the set chance controlling how often full sets appear.
Separate enchantment pools
Equipment and weapon enchantments are configured independently, and each option carries its own chance and level range.
Weapon and status effect rolls
Configured mobs can carry swords made from several materials, and can spawn with effects like Resistance or Speed.
