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, 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! This includes minor tweaks like the special creature types of different mobs and players, to the removal of certain magic spells, to the spawning details of different oddities.
Keep apace with development by watching along with the playlist of regular video updates on YouTube

I ran across a bunch of kobolds in a desert and they were all carrying pride flags and that is the most adorable thing ever! I hope they will always carry those flags, even when it's not pride month because that is the cutest thing ever! I love them!
In reply to arthademon:
They unfortunately only bring them out for the month of June, to celebrate Pride month, but as a special detail a given kobold always waves the same flag each year! Persistent Pride :D
A config option to make them always carry pride flags would be neat.
In reply to anIceyGirl:
Agreed, I love the little pride flags and would happily enable the config to let them show their pride all year round if I could! They are so adorable! I must protect them all! Yes, I aggressively destroyed a skeleton for shooting one by accident trying to shoot me xD
In reply to Lyinginbedmon:
Then I will enjoy the adorableness while it lasts! I love the little kobolds with pride flags! Everybody in my Discord server loved it too, thought it was the most adorable thing ever.
Can tame the crab?
i play in 1.12.2 version.
I would appreciate the answer <3
In reply to dfuhx187:
The crabs are not tamable, unfortunately.
I have one question about the 1.12.2 versions, how can I inscribe by hand???
I want to have it on a server and to let the players investigate, but I don't know how to combine the sigils
In reply to xwerffx:
Right-click on a piece of paper whilst carrying inscribing ink in your inventory, this will open the inscribing screen. Inscribing in this fashion is significantly more limited than using a table (with a level cap and no reference slot), but can be done on-the-go.
In reply to Lyinginbedmon:
and then what is the use of the sigils?
In reply to xwerffx:

Is this compatible with 1.16.4, or only 1.16.5?
In reply to mrserpophaga:
I can only attest that it has been tested with 1.16.5, I haven't tested it for 1.16.4
Do these spawn in biomes o plenty biomes?
In reply to genk64:
They should, and if not the config allows for BoP biomes to be added
Compatible with curios?
how's it going with the Uberwidren? Scrolling through your twitter I saw you said it's not been implemented into 1.16 yet, are you thinking about tweaking it or are you just working on getting it working in 1.16 before making any tweaks or changes? Also I love the Kobolds, one of my favourite D&D races, so glad to have them well animated in Minecraft, have you considered having them have some form of interaction with either the Ender-Dragon or dragons from other mods like Wyrm-Roost or Ice & Fire? I could totally see Kobolds in the End with black and purple tribal paint doing little tasks to try and please the dragon, or building little huts around an Ice & Fire dragons nest
In reply to strange030guy:
The Uberwidren is definitely coming to 1.16, the present versions are just dominantly about getting the simpler mobs in while I build up the foundations for the extra modules. Rest assured, it'll be along to wreck house in due time.
I had not considered that but it's certainly an appealing idea! Most probably such a feature would be included as part of the worldgen module however.
How to make Giant Rats, (Small) Scorpions, Goblins, Kobolds hostile to the player?
Also, could you change the Giant Scorpion red lobster color to something more realistic e.g. whitish with a tint of yellow maybe?
Could you make humanoid creatures like Kobolds and Goblins spawn with random weaponsand/or armor (configurable) ?
In reply to zothen73:
Giant rats are already hostile. Goblins are currently hostile but will be joined by kobolds to be faction reputation-dependent, in which case a poor enough history with them will make them hostile. Small scorpions are hostile when attacked first.
Kobolds, goblins, and other humanoids in future will spawn with random equipment similar to zombies.
