Gold's Beasts - Plugin

Transform your Hytale creature encounters with dynamic elite spawning, enhanced combat mechanics, and progressive difficulty scaling! This plugin introduces intelligent kill-tracking and rewards skilled players with increasingly challenging elite variants.

NEW in v2.1.0: Two new elite reptile variants - Umbra Rex and Umbra Toad! Elite spawns now include deadly cave dwellers with enhanced loot!

🔥 Key Features

🎯 Dynamic Elite Spawning System

Elite variants spawn intelligently based on your performance:

• Kill Tracking: Monitors wolves, grizzly bears, battle hardened bears, magma rhino toads, and cave rexes over 72 in-game hours
• Progressive Difficulty:
  • 5 kills → 60% spawn chance
  • 6+ kills → 100% guaranteed elite spawn
• Smart Spawning: Elites appear 10-20 blocks away from kill location
• Rewarding Gameplay: More kills = tougher encounters with better loot
