First version of the MobVariants logo.
Description
Tired of every zombie being exactly the same as the last one? MobVariants gives you the chance to encounter special variations of mobs with differing stats and attributes alongside the default versions. Variants can range from the miniature Mini mobs to fearsome Epic monsters with boosted health, defence and damage!
Features
- Customise the probability of each individual attribute occurring! Don't want to go up against a double-damage creeper? No problem! Would you rather bosses not end up with random variations? Sorted!
- Unique titles for many variant combinations! Can you tell an Enduring mob from an Experienced mob? (If you can't they're all available below!) Identify variants at a glance with custom nametags for the mobs!
- Configurable private and public announcements for kills! Find out exactly what it was that you defeated, or brag of your victory to the entire server.
- Spawn specific variants of mobs on command! Are you man enough to take on an Epic Wither? Don't worry about getting swamped if you're not, because the command can be locked or unlocked via permissions.
Upcoming Features
- Increase the probability of variants spawning the closer to bedrock you go.
- Fast mobs!
- Got another idea? Let me know!
Instructions
To install MobVariants simply place MobVariants.jar into the plugins folder of CraftBukkit and you should be good to go!

- Defence: Halves the damage taken by the mob.
Secondary attributes are additional, minor variations of a creature and will only affect the colour if there are no primary attributes.
- Burning: Mob is permanently on fire (unless it is extinguished, but it can be reignited) and does not take fire or lava damage.
- Mini: Mob is permanently tiny (supported mobs only).
