About this Mod
AlaHorde

How it works
Every hostile mob (MobCategory.MONSTER — zombie, skeleton, creeper, witch, enderman, blaze, ghast, wither, ender dragon, warden, …) has its own world-wide kill counter. Every 25 player kills of a species bumps that species to the next level — every NEW spawn of that species after that point comes in stronger.
| Stat | Per-level scaling | Attribute |
|---|---|---|
| Max health | +10% over base | MAX_HEALTH |
| Attack damage | +8% over base | ATTACK_DAMAGE |
| Movement speed | +5% over base | MOVEMENT_SPEED |
| XP drop | +10% over base | via LivingExperienceDropEvent |
Cap at level 20 by default. All thresholds and multipliers are configurable in serverconfig/alahorde-server.toml or via the in-game Mods → AlaHorde → Settings UI.
Each spawned mob gets a styled [Lv.N] label above its head, color-tiered by level (gray Lv.1 → white 2-5 → yellow 6-10 → gold 11-15 → red 16-20). The label is occluded by solid blocks — no X-Ray cheating; the level only shows when the mob is in line of sight.
When a species levels up, all players within the configured radius get a chat broadcast and flame/smoke particles burst at the kill site.
Bosses (Wither, Ender Dragon, Warden) are included by default — only attribute base values are touched, so boss AI phases stay intact.

AlaHorde server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong neoforge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is AlaHorde compatible with neoforge?
AlaHorde officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with AlaHorde – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if AlaHorde consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
