Description
The Monster Manual of Minecraft!
Various Oddities provides a colourful and diverse selection of mobs to populate your world, complete with config and customisation options to fine tune them for regular play or for adventure maps!
With a diverse and colourful array of mobs, you're sure to find the world far more alive and certainly far more dangerous, so Various Oddities also comes with a plethora of new and expanded gameplay features to help you keep pace with the velociraptors munching on your chickens. Invest in early-game alchemical brews with the alembic, hold off the hordes of undead with a quick holy symbol, and terrorise the local village by inscribing magical spells to rain doom upon them.
Care and attention is paid to keep the mod as config-friendly as possible, allowing you to tailor your experience as you desire be it for personal enjoyment or for a challenging multiplayer run! This includes minor tweaks like the special creature types of different mobs and players, to the removal of certain magic spells, to the spawning details of different oddities.
Keep apace with development by watching along with the playlist of regular video updates on YouTube

Oddity Previews Holding an Odd Egg will display a preview of the contained mob on the corresponding side of the screen, giving you a convenient identifier of what each egg will spawn without having to check the tooltip or remember the egg colouring. -
Goblins & Trolls Two brands of green! Goblins are a slightly-smaller and significantly-less-cute equivalent to Kobolds, whilst Trolls are big brutes that regenerate most forms of damage over time. -
Ogres The largest humanoid mob as of version 2, available in both chubby and buff forms and with up to three horns. A great choice for a brutish boss. -
Pegasi & Winged Donkeys Both traditional forms of mounted warfare and conveyance are available in functional flying equivalents, complete with the option of a unicorn horn -
Not quite Fabergé, but quite fancy! Each odd egg includes a tooltip with details of what the contained creature can do and how it can be customised to fit with your specific context. -
Doom Looms Large The Uberwidren is one of the more unique Oddities, with three options for their legs, one for their arms, and one for how many heads they have. It was designed with the idea that this is what the Wither actually looks like, we just suck at summoning it. -
A colourful collection of kobolds Kobolds ship with a number of different skins as well as two options for model (presence of horns and length of snout). They are also the first Oddity capable of both wearing armour and wielding items, making them ideal dungeon fodder.
