Scaling Mobs

This is a server side mod that allows for scaling of the attributes health, damage and speed. You can configure it through a file and choose on what days the attributes should be applied/active.

Features include, filtering by mobs and dimensions, scaling by days passed, moon cycle, distance from spawn, distance under sea level. You can scale linearly, exponentially or just apply a constant. You also configure when it is active, for example only at nights or every 7 days.

Here's a list of the configuration options that can be found in the scalingmobs.toml file within the configuration directory.

# This is a example config. Each comment describes what the
# setting/modifier under it does

# All health modifiers get applied on top of vanilla/default
# attributes if this variable is set to true
healthAddOnTopOfDefault = true

# All damage and speed modifiers will be applied from 0, without the
# vanilla attributes
damageAddOnTopOfDefault = false
speedAddOnTopOfDefault = false

# Modifiers where "timeWhenActive" isn't set are only
# active at night because that variables default value is "NIGHT"
# and is set implicitly.

# For every block below Y=63 mobs gain hearts exponentially
# This health modifier follows the formula:
# health = start * (increaseFactor ^ blocksBelowSeaLevel)
# health = 1 * (1.04 ^ blocksBelowSeaLevel)
# Don't forget that this health is added to the mobs default
# damage attribute because we set the "healthAddOnTopOfDefault" variable to true

# https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Moon
# At new moon the scaling is 0, at full moon it's 4
# You probably want to limit this to the overworld
# since there no actual moon in the nether or end dimension

# As you can see below one attribute can have as many different
# scaling modifiers as you want, here damage is both changed
# by days passed and the mobs distance from spawn

# Everyday mobs do +0.5 more damage starting from 3 damage.
# This scaling will at most only make mobs do 10 extra damage.
# The scaling is only active every other day i.e day 1,3,5...
# This damage modifier follows the formula:
# damage = start + daysPassed * increaseFactor
# damage = 3.0 + daysPassed * 0.5
