The Monster Manual of Minecraft!
Various Oddities provides a colourful and diverse selection of mobs to populate your world, complete with config and customisation options to fine tune them for regular play or for adventure maps!
With a diverse and colourful array of mobs ranging from kobolds and goblins to giants and tyrannosaurs, you're sure to find the world far more alive and certainly far more dangerous, so Various Oddities also comes with a plethora of new and expanded gameplay features to help you keep pace with the velociraptors munching on your chickens. Invest in early-game alchemical brews with the alembic, hold off the hordes of undead with a quick holy symbol, and terrorise the local village by inscribing magical spells to rain doom upon them.
Care and attention is paid to keep the mod as config-friendly as possible, allowing you to tailor your experience as you desire be it for personal enjoyment or for a challenging multiplayer run!
Keep apace with development by watching along with the playlist of regular video updates on YouTube!

Crash with witherboss and when around any of the mobs it says "An unknown problem has occured" top right of my screen. I was looking around your issues and googling your mod and Im assuming its the mobs trying to play their sounds. I found no solution and I'm at my wits end for this is the mod to make my modpack SOLID!

Please open a new issue with the related crash log
Hi Im developing my own modpack, and I am using this mod
Had a Random crash whilst playtesting
https://pastebin.com/PzUstfXc <-----Crashlog
I have disabled the phylactery system in the configs, and all seems okay for now.
I did look for a Github but couldnt find anything.
Hope your well.
Loving the Mod

Please open a new Issue with this crash log.
Seaguls are.. broken, they have weird squares around the wings and irokez (black with shaders like SEUS, and they are also glowing). They have also random loot like coins, flame jars (fancy torches in iron bars) and also venom poison.. or something like that.
In reply to LUEZIS:
Please open a new issue with video or screenshots of the problem.
In reply to Lyinginbedmon:
They are just.. weird, and also have random loot sometimes, nothing so special. Black squares around the feathers might be in-theory transparent wing texture backrooms.
Would it be possible to enable or disable individual features of the supertypes? Let's say you want to have a custom vampire NPC, but by default Undead cannot regenerate health. Being able to turn off "no regeneration" for Undead would be useful. Same with wanting to have, say, an empowered boss that's immune to paralysis, but is still capable of being poisoned.
Perhaps more troublesome: could there be a way to configure valid damage sources for the purpose of immunity or weaknesses for these types?
This is possible even for modded damage sources via something like NoDami's debug tool, which registers valid damage types. Being able to ensure a fire creature takes bonus damage from Mowzie's Mobs Ice Crystal and Electroblob's ice spells would be great, and would shift the burden to modpack creators instead of eventually getting a hundred messages of "Can you make X type immune to Y from Z mod??"
Finally, and this would be the most difficult - the ability to create new super or subtypes, for advanced config usage only. For when you can't quite get the right combination of types without making something immune to everything... you'd do it yourself. As fantastic as your types are, even these miss a few classics like "Elemental", "Monstrous Humanoid", "Monstrosity" from the various versions of D&D... to say nothing of custom worlds where "Fungal" and "Yo-Kai" and "Psionic" are worthy of being their own categories. This would be an absolute godsend for modpacks and adventure worlds.
Thanks for the cool mod and good luck with future development!
In reply to SandwichHorror:
Adding controls to every feature of every individual creature type would add a lot of bloat to the config files, but adding some kind of control over what abilities of creature types affect what status effects or damage sources is certainly feasible. The prospect of configurable creature types, such as by JSON, is incredibly tantalising but I'll have to hold off on that until the next release version or I'll be mired in it for months :D
In reply to Lyinginbedmon:
Thanks for the update! One thing you could do, if you wish, is to have an "opt-in" format for advanced config. Better with Mods does it like such:
gloom-penalties {
# Set this to true to allow more granular configs to generate and make the penalties work as you please. Requires the game to be started to generate more configs.
B:Customized=true
Changing the default value from "False" to "true" and starting the game generates a whole new list of individual configurable features. Better with Mods has this sort of config for many of the more in-depth changes in the game, so anyone who wants the "default experience" can just play normally, someone who wants to tweak one or two things won't have to spend two hours scrolling through the default config, and any obsessive or detail-oriented modpack creator can alter every last feature to their liking.
Unfortunately I am just a peasant and don't know the code behind being able to dynamically update the configs after an opt-in, but perhaps this could be something to look into!
Wonderful concept for those JSON creature types! You love to see it... someday!
Yo creo que tengo un fallo en el mod ya que casi no se me generan mobs en el mundo, como lo puedo arreglar?
In reply to CarlitoSs987:
El desove de la mafia se está reelaborando en la próxima actualización, pero puede ser un error en la configuración del bioma o del peso de desove en su configuración.
Do the conveyor belts currently work? I don't see any information on the wiki about them, and I tried everything I could think of to get them to start moving. No gears, redstone power, or press of the buttons/lights on the side seem to power them. :(
In reply to TheVisionaryOne:
Gears are used to craft tracks, which are then placed. Right-clicking will reverse the direction of travel. They are then made functional by right-clicking with leather to add the conveyor belt.
I have a question: since i can see you got a GitHub, why don't you adapt the issue section to your github? (simply curious)
In reply to zack7292:
It's just easier to have the issue section in the same place as people download the mod
Thank you for the update! I am excited play through all the new changes and additions!
Did this update fix the JEI issue, by chance?
In reply to Darkfiend009:
The CR display has been changed to its own UI screen with a full breakdown of the different factors, this means its presence on the inventory screen is now just a button that you can move around with client-side configs. This should mean it no longer breaks the JEI search bar but feel free to submit a new issue if this is not the case!
Holy moley, can't believe how long I slept on this mod. To anyone else evaluating: when the author says there's more going on in the video updates, he means it. Most recent video as of posting is April 16, 2020, so mod's definitely alive.
There is a TON of stuff going on here and of very good quality as far as I've seen. Mobs are just the start of it--interesting D&D loot (the wiki doesn't list all of it!), I love the CR handling, the AI is leagues beyond vanilla's stuff, I haven't messed with the magic system yet but it seems very polished, config is excellent. Stunning that it's not got more downloads, hence me posting.
Only real "problem" I've run into so far is basically wanting more--I'd love to expand the CR treasure pools with things from other mods, but that's probably possible with In Control! or similar. Oh, and the glowing mushrooms (not mentioned here or on the wiki I think) were a lovely surprise and look amazing in forests, but are taking over the desert for some reason. That's about it.
Anyways: adds some great stuff, mod page doesn't do it justice, would drag me out of GM psuedoretirement if my players weren't still scarred from GM'd Blightfall.
How do I land with a pegasus?
