Botz Mob Leveling

BotzMobLeveling — 1.0.3

New Features

• Kill Leveling System — Mobs now gain XP and levels by killing other mobs and players. XP scales based on the victim's level, making high-level kills more rewarding. Kill levels stack on top of spawn levels and persist through chunk unloads.
• Kill Persistence — Any mob that scores its first kill becomes persistent and will never despawn, letting it continue growing stronger over time. Great for pets and tamed mobs.
• Kill Indicator — Mobs that have made a kill display a ★ symbol in their name tag so you always know which ones are dangerous veterans.
• Hunt to Level — New per-rule datapack field hunt_to_level: true. When enabled, mobs gain active hunting AI and will seek out and kill other mobs on their own — even when no player is nearby.
• Hunt Chance — New per-rule field hunt_to_level_chance (0.0–1.0) controls what percentage of mobs in a rule actually receive hunting behavior. Falls back to a global config value if not set per-rule.
• Boss Hunt Support — Boss rules now also support hunt_to_level and hunt_to_level_chance, including Cluckthulhu who now hunts at a 95% chance.

Example Datapack

An example_datapack folder is now included in the GitHub repository demonstrating every rule type with all new fields:

• Base (distance scaling)
• Biome (desert, jungle hunters, swamp)
• Structure (stronghold, nether fortress)
• Dimension (nether, the end)
• Bosses (Cluckthulhu, Nether Overlord)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash on startup caused by Patchouli's mixin being incompatible with Forge 47.4.0 in the dev environment.
• Fixed setPersistenceRequired() call signature for Minecraft 1.20.1.
