Six Smarter Skeletons
This starts by adding some six nasty smarter skeletons which each has unique abilities and who are smarter and more vengeful than normal Minecraft Skeletons. They also have the power to convert some other creatures to serve them.
Revenge!
These crafty critters will turn vengeful and track players down who attack them while firing arrows from a greater distance than usual. They will also convert other skeletons who get too close!
Other surprises await but the following configurable features are offered:
Tougher the further you get from spawn, if you like.
You can set a minimum range to start and a maximum range to stop making them tougher.
The default is for them to start with hit points about the same as skeletons but to slowly rise to over 40 hit points out past 20,000 meters from spawn. Smite V recommended!
Loot
Themed common and rare loot based on the type of nasty mob.
Configure mobs based on Biome
There are six kinds of skeletons, each with unique special abilities.
You can make them faster in plains, tougher in swamps, slower in the snow, and so on by skeleton type and biome type.
Configure Spawning Light Level
You can configure the light level they spawn at from 0 to 15. The default light level is 9.
Optional Temperature Based Spawning
If this is enabled, then some skeletons have preferred temperature ranges while others still spawn anywhere.
The Purple skeleton prefers cold temperatures, the Green skeleton enjoys medium temperatures, the Red skeleton likes hot temperatures.
(And they can all spawn from any spawner cage but you control the likelihood ("spawn weight")!)
Individual Control over Spawning Weight
Turn off any skeleton you don't like by setting their spawn weight to zero.
Advancements
4 new advancements to recognize your history.
Spoilers!
Nasty Skeletons have the ability to convert normal Skeletons and Wolves to nasty Skeletons and nasty Wolves!
You can control the range and how fast normal skeletons are converted.
You can also control whether wolves
Never turn nasty.
- Turn nasty only if wild.
- Turn nasty only if wild or tamed but unnamed.
- Named Wolves never turn nasty.

Awesome mod. Is there a way to set it so that the skeletons do not spawn in the Nether?
Hi! Love the mod, I'm using it in my modpack: Dawn of Fire if you want to check it out.
Does this work for 1.16.3?
In reply to mdbrown7111:
Not currently, but I'm just starting to make some changes to the mod and will update it to the latest.
Now working on 1.16.2+ version, it has some problems, but hopefully very soon.
I don't see the config archive
In reply to chorriwuarri:
This is a server config (in serverconfig folder under saved worlds), but next update I'll be changing to a common config which is in the config folder.
Version 1.0.7 is using a common config, in the normal config folder.
In reply to h4rry_l0ck8:
Thanks. That would be an interesting mods which we might do, but have a lot going on atm...working on another mod and some updates to this mod.
In reply to h4rry_l0ck8:
They now have another mod developed now, Harder Farther (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/harder-farther) that makes ALL monsters to get tougher the further out from the 0,0 (x/z) coordinate. You might be interested in it!
In reply to AverseThule:
Thanks! (◍•ᴗ•◍)
1.16.1 and 1.15.1, 1.15.2
Fixed issues that lead to having too many hit points in the nether and far from spawn.
Reduced default accuracy of the nasty skeletons
Still recommend you carry a shield and a smite sword.
1.16.1 and 1.15.1, 1.15.2
Themed common... and rare... loot drops.
Advancements! 4 new advancements.
Hey. 14.4! Nice Lupicus!
Do the mobs spawn in lighted areas? We cannot seem to understand their spawning behavoir?
In reply to mdbrown7111:
They are intended to spawn like Skeletons. We should have a fix soon. Thanks for the feedback.
In reply to lupicus:
Ok so the update definitely stopped the spawning everywhere but now we almost never see them. What configs change the spawn rate?

In reply to mdbrown7111:
Increase this value: SpawnBiome = 25
I'll will be making more changes to help.
In reply to lupicus:
Ya after I replied to your 1st change I did change what I suspected was the spawn chance. They are showing up again finally. They are also not spawning in the light which is also good.
In reply to mdbrown7111:
Okay we changed the weight to be same as skeletons and added a new light spawn setting, which is a little higher than normal. To get some of the new settings the file must be deleted, unless you like your current settings.
In reply to lupicus:
Ya these skeletons are truly nasty. We had one that seemed immune the other day but perhaps he just had some kind of effect. Love the mod. Thanks for all the hard work on it.
In reply to mdbrown7111:
He says you can set their Spawning light levels but it is level 9 if you don't change it
