Unholy Mobs
by Avrukey
Unholy Mobs makes some hostile mobs spawn as powered variants that hit harder, last longer and carry debuffs, with Unholy Creepers using variant-specific explosion radii.
What it does
A share of spawning hostile mobs becomes an Unholy variant, with its own tier, stats and visual prefix so it can be told apart from a normal mob. Each higher tier keeps the strengths of the lower ones and adds more, and the gap between tiers widens quickly as the tier rises. Affected mobs gain increased health, damage, attack speed, movement speed, regeneration, resistance and knockback resistance, and their hits apply debuffs such as Slowness, Weakness, Poison and Nausea to the player. Unholy Creepers become powered, and their explosions use the radius of their variant and can destroy terrain.
Two timed events change the spawn pattern. Each night a moon may rise, with a default chance of 1% for an Unholy night that raises the spawn rate of Unholy mobs tenfold, and a default chance of 0.1% for a Silent night that raises the spawn rate of the Silent variant four hundredfold. Silent Night takes priority when both events occur at once, and an active event ends at sunrise and cannot be skipped by sleeping. Only Silent mobs teleport, with a configurable cooldown range, and they are invisible and suppress their sounds.
Unholy Mobs is published for Forge and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.8, and the mod must be installed on both the client and the server. Its gameplay and server settings are stored in configuration files, which lets server owners adjust the spawn chances, event timing and variant behavior.
Key features
Powered hostile mobs
Some spawning hostile mobs take on variant types with significantly higher stats, which makes them tougher to fight.
Variant tiers
Tiers named Insane, Extreme, Grandpa and Silent step up in power, and each higher tier builds on the one below it.
Health bar and mob info
Aiming at an Unholy mob shows a health bar at the top of the screen with its variant name, current and maximum health.
Client display options
A client configuration can turn off the health bar, drop the variant name, or show the health percentage in place of the numeric value.
Night events
Unholy and Silent nights change which mobs spawn after dark, with both events ending at sunrise.
