Hostile Mobs Overview
Understanding Hostile Mobs
This innovative server-side mod enhances the aggression of hostile mobs in Minecraft. By enabling these creatures to detect sounds through walls—such as the noise from opened chests and active furnaces—players will need to be especially vigilant while exploring.
Enhanced Hostility
In the game, typical hostile mobs like zombies and skeletons are already a challenge, but this mod takes it to the next level. For instance, creepers will actively seek to explode walls in order to reach their targets. After making a series of attempts, if they don’t succeed, they will eventually detonate, escalating the pressure on players trying to maintain a safe environment.
Creeper Mechanics
A creeper will typically initiate its detonation sequence around 3 seconds after getting within one block of its target. They monitor their surroundings and will continuously seek alternate routes every 10 seconds. If they fail to find a new path within 5 tries, they will explode, leading to potential destruction of your structures.
Configurable Features
One of the unique aspects of this mod is its flexibility in terms of activation. By default, the mod is only enabled every 7 days, allowing players to prepare and fortify their defenses effectively during this period. This timed approach adds a strategic twist, as players must ensure their valuables remain safe and that they manage their furnaces wisely.
Interaction with Other Mods
For players utilizing the Create mod, hostile mobs will also react to spinning components, further increasing their motivation to gather around these moving elements.
Configuration Options
Within the hostilemobs.toml file located in the configuration directory, players can customize the following options to tailor their experience:
| Setting | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| activeNthDay | Number | This setting defines how frequently the hostile behavior activates; for example, a value of 3 indicates that the mod will trigger every third day. |
| triesBeforeBlowingUp | Number | This parameter pertains specifically to creepers, determining how many attempts they will make to find a new path to a block before deciding to explode. |
| detectionDistance | Number | This defines the range at which mobs are capable of “hearing” sounds from blocks through walls, adding an extra layer of strategy to gameplay. |
By utilizing this mod, players can significantly heighten the challenge and excitement level of their Minecraft experience. Prepare to defend against mobs like never before!
