Lycanites Alpha Fix Patch

Lycanites Alpha Fix Patch is a small unofficial compatibility patch for Lycanites Mobs.

This mod is not a replacement for Lycanites Mobs. It does not add new mobs, items, equipment, recipes, progression, or balance changes. Its purpose is to apply small, conservative fixes for specific crashes, display issues, spawn trigger issues, and server-load risks found in supported Minecraft versions.

Choose the Correct File

Each Minecraft version has its own build. Please install only the file that matches your Minecraft and Forge version.

The public mod name and mod id stay aligned across version lines, but the implementation is version-specific. Fixes are not blindly backported between Minecraft versions because Lycanites Mobs and Forge internals differ significantly.

Minecraft 1.20.1 / Forge 47.x

The 1.20.1 build targets Lycanites Mobs 1.20.1 alpha.

It includes conservative guards for issues such as:

• client render crashes around the night vision scale path
• incorrect boss health bar names for named Lycanites bosses
• high-frequency Lycanites spawn handling in large modpacks
• recursive entitySpawned chains from Lycanites-created entities
• client-side ExtendedEntity / ExtendedPlayer cache null entries
• missing cooldown recording after successful player-based SpawnTrigger calls

Advanced pack developers can tune server-side spawn guard limits in:

config/lycanitesalphafixpatch-common.toml

Minecraft 1.16.5 / Forge 36.x

The 1.16.5 build is not a simple backport of the 1.20.1 build. It is a dedicated implementation for Lycanites Mobs 1.16.5 and Forge 36.x.

It includes:

• client cache null-entry guards for ExtendedEntity and ExtendedPlayer
• cooldown recording after successful player-based SpawnTrigger calls
• FileLoader handling for bundled default JSON loaded through jar: resource URIs
• immediate EntitySpawnedSpawnTrigger re-entry suppression for entities created by Lycanites spawners

The 1.16.5 build provides these config options:

spawnTrigger.recordSuccessfulSpawnerTriggerCooldowns
spawnTrigger.suppressEntitySpawnedReentry

Minecraft 1.12.2 / Forge 14.x

The 1.12.2 build is a small compatibility patch for the LycanitesMobs 1.12.2 series.

The first 1.12.2 release records cooldowns when a player-based SpawnTrigger succeeds. This is intended to let the existing Lycanites cooldown map take effect so the same configured trigger does not repeatedly fire while it should still be on cooldown.

The 1.12.2 build does not use Mixin at runtime. It applies the cooldown fix through a small Forge coremod transformer designed for the 1.12.2 runtime.

This first 1.12.2 release does not include EntitySpawnedSpawnTrigger re-entry or chain suppression.

What This Mod Does Not Change

This patch does not intentionally change:

• Lycanites Mobs balance
• mob stats or AI
• drops
• equipment
• recipes
• progression
• general spawn balance
• Lycanites Mobs content replacement

Respect for Lycanites Mobs

Lycanites Mobs is a large, ambitious, and highly distinctive Minecraft mod.

This patch exists as a small compatibility layer for specific issues that can be safely handled outside Lycanites Mobs itself. All credit for Lycanites Mobs belongs to the Lycanites Mobs developers.
