Description

Grudge

You died. It noticed. It's waiting.


Grudge showcase


Any mob that kills a player becomes a named, stronger rival that never despawns. Kill it to settle the score and claim a trophy. Pure vanilla datapack, no mods needed.

The grudge

When a mob kills you, it:

  • Takes your name: Zombie, Bane of {player name}, visible from a distance
  • Gets stronger: +50% max health (fully healed), +20% speed, +20% attack damage
  • Burns with soul fire: a permanent particle aura, easy to spot in a crowd
  • Never despawns: it stays where it is until you come back

In multiplayer, every player gets their own rival. The mob remembers who it killed and goes after that player first.


Announcements

Everyone on the server sees it start, and see it end.
