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!
Especially built to be compatible with (but not at all dependent on) Custom NPCs by Noppes, so you can give your NPCs some glorious visuals to make them feel more at home in whatever setting you require!
Mobs currently included:
- Kobolds, everyone's favourite first-dungeon critter
- the Uberwidren, a realisation of the question of what the Wither would look like if Steve was actually any good at summoning it, perfect for a dramatic boss encounter!
- Trolls, big ugly dudes who will heal most damage naturally over time
- Ogres, similar-but-distinct big ugly dudes
- Goblins, everyone's other favourite first-dungeon critter. Fond of 10' x 10' rooms with a single chest.
- Pegasi & Flying Donkeys, for all your terrain-traversing convenience
- Mimics, the treasure chest that bites back!
- Gryphons, a tasteful travel option for your trip to Stormwind City
- Monkeys, now with 100% less poop!
- Giant Crabs, enemy or otherwise
- Floating Skulls and Disembodied Heads, spoopy!
- Rats, to ravage your crops!
- Bulettes, the terrifying land shark!
- Scorpions, to sting you a little and sting you a lot!
- Ravens, scarecrows not included
- A full upgrade and rework of Giants, both living or un-deceased!
Mobs coming soon:
- Collossi
- Whales
- Raptors
- Gargoyles
- And many more!

New oddities and features are frequently teased and spoiled on my Twitter and are occasionally developed live on stream over on Twitch. Various Oddities, and all my other projects, are supported by all the wonderful people supporting me on Patreon.
In reply to TheCutestGuy:
In terms of the VO config, there's no distinction based on dimension. For instance, the End is just one colossal minecraft:sky biome and the Nether is one massive minecraft:hell biome. So we'd just put one or both of those in to the spawn settings for an oddity to spawn there.
Otherwise if you're setting up spawns in a different dimension using another mod's config, you would (presumably) use the namespace reference to the oddity in question. For instance, varodd:kobold, varodd:goblin, varodd:giant_crab, etc.

Ty! This is a great mod and I'm really looking forward to learning more about it, especially the magic and alchemy
In reply to Lyinginbedmon:
I think I've found a glitch: end golems can attack players, but their projectile is completely invisible.
In reply to TheCutestGuy:
This isn't a glitch, their attack is a laser-style attack. It functions similarly to that of the Guardians.
Suggestion: Bulettes can swim through sand as well as dirt. I think it would just make sense that they would be able to swim in sand if they already can "swim" through dirt.
Any chance that we could get configurations to disable some of the things like the new spell system you recently implemented? I originally used this mod for the mobs and the coins, and I rather like the baubles but the other stuff is just bloat to me. I'm not sure if anyone else feels that way but just something I thought i'd ask.
Anyway to slow down the flight speed? Max movement speed? And what key is for descent when flying.
Normally I would look at the code and maybe add some configs for something like this I hate bothering authors with the little things because they are always so busy.
Liking the thinking behind this mod reminds me of old school D&D.

I need to look into the feasibility of a mod that lets you put in speed caps [like no horses over a certain speed] and no sprint on ridding creatures/vehicles when i get the time.
Got this crash on server startup.

In reply to celittle:
Hey, I've got B:"Spawn Oddities naturally"=false , but I'm still getting dozens and dozens of seagulls (retextured ravens) spawning on beaches. It looks like maybe they spawn like monsters, but never despawn (sort of like as if they were livestock)
Could you look into it? If so, want me to make an issue for it?
Edit: NVM, there were two files, varodd_mobs and varodd_spawns, and it was false in one but not the other. Sorry to make a false report.
Would it be possible to list the AI of the different mobs so we can decide if we want it on or not? Amazing mod by the way!

The mod crashes, but no log is generated. Would the output from the launch log help you?
In reply to xorbah:
Hoping for cooming soon mobs!
Any chance on taming some of these? Maybe becoming a goblin/kobold king and commanding them as minions?
