Mob Variants

The younger sister to my Upgraded Mobs datapack, Mob Variants subtly freshens up your game by adding a few twists on the classic mobs we know and love.

Mob Variants adds a few variant spawns to zombies, piglins, hoglins, slimes, magma cubes, phantoms, and witches for you to come across in your world.

Details

All of the variants in this project are detailed below.

Configuration

Don't like some of the variants listed above? While there is no config file, you can open up the datapack ZIP to edit things yourself:

• If you add a # symbol in front of a command in an mcfunction file, that line will be commented out and won't be ran.
• This datapack includes a list of predicates for random probabilities that determine the chance of a variant being spawned. If you want to change a probability, you can replace the associated predicate with a different one, or make your own.
• To prevent a mob from having a chance of being replaced, give it the mobvariants.blacklist tag.

If you want to uninstall this datapack, you can simply remove it from your world with no issues. However, mob variants that have already been summoned by this datapack will remain in the world until they despawn.

Compatibility

This datapack is compatible with all of my other projects. In particular, many of the variants here use the upgradedmobs.blacklist tag to prevent Mob Variants and Upgraded Mobs from interfering with each other.

Again, remember to give the mobvariants.blacklist tag to any mob that you don't want to be affected by this datapack.
