What if mobs could use enchantments too?

The idea may sound familiar - Minecraft Dungeons already gave mobs their own enchantments. And while there is appreciation for its mechanics, Enchanted Mobs isn't meant to simply bring Dungeons' mechanics into Minecraft.

Instead, the addon takes the concept as a starting point and explores how enchanted mobs could work within Minecraft's own mechanics and design philosophy. Some ideas can be adapted directly, some need to be reworked, and some are better left as experiments rather than forced into the vanilla formula, at least until properly adapted. The result is a system where familiar mobs can occasionally spawn with enchantments, making encounters more varied, rewarding, and unpredictable, all while still feeling like they belong in Minecraft.

Features

Vanilla Fidelity

• Vanilla-friendly enchanted variants for both hostile and passive mobs.
• Enchantments are implemented around their vanilla behavior *whenever possible*. Less obvious enchantments are ported carefully: when one doesn't naturally translate to mob combat, it is adapted to fit rather than simply discarded.
• Enchanted mobs keep the loot of their base mob and add extra loot and experience based on the effectiveness and rarity of their enchantments, following vanilla progression as closely as possible.

Customization

• Around 1 in every 7 mobs spawns enchanted by default, and this chance is configurable.
• Files easily configurable, allowing the player to choose which mobs should and shouldn't have enchanted variants.
• Optional enchanted book drops from enchanted mobs.
• Visible mob names and enchantments make enchanted mobs easy to identify, with an optional version without nametags for WAILA users.

Glints

• Multiple glint styles: Base, Purple, RGB, Rainbow, Java Edition-inspired and Minecraft Dungeons-inspired.
• Adjustable glint intensity and brightness.
• Optional glow in the dark.
  
  

Experimental Subpack

Want to see how far enchanted mobs can go? The Experimental Subpack is where things get a little more... experimental.

It features mobs with WIP enchantments, unusual combinations, and ideas that are intentionally more ambitious than the main addon, including the addition of Minecraft Dungeons enchantments for the near future. Some mechanics may be powerful, weird, or simply not fit the vanilla-friendly philosophy of the main pack - that's the goal!

Consider it a playground for ideas that might eventually become something more.

More mobs, enchantments, and experiments are planned for future updates!

Note: This is my first addon project. AI-assisted tools were used during development, but the addon itself was designed, tested, and refined manually. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
