You cheated first
by pillowdrink1
You cheated first adds named cheats to hostile mobs, so monsters spawn with some of them and players can apply others to a mob during a fight.
What it does
Standard survival mobs gain stronger traits, which raises the challenge of ordinary monsters. Naturally spawned neutral and hostile mobs can appear with one to three cheats. Several items let players apply cheats directly, which makes mob battles more involved and easier to follow on screen.
Cheats are grouped into level cheats and other cheats. In the level menu, a right-click switches between levels and a left-click applies the selected level. Other cheats are applied instantly with a left-click. The cheats include continuous health restoration, regeneration after a set number of hits, a radial arrow shot, a single revive that only works on some mobs, a teleport behind the target, a short self-enhancement that raises attack damage, armor and toughness and can stack up to 100 times, a damage cap over a period, a limit on flight, an iframe remover, a healing block and projectiles that reflect or explode.
The mod is published for Forge and 1.20.1 only, with the 0.8 file dated 2026-04-05 as the latest. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
