Combat Man

This mod adds one hostile mob, called the "Combat Man". Combat Man is an attempt to elevate hostile mob combat by emulating how Players PvP.

Combat Man features:

Spawns with random weapons, armor, and an off-hand PvP item.
Spawns at night in a large group.
Targets Players, Villagers, and even each other. (large groups of combat men is just chaos)
Panics and runs away when the opponent is a lot stronger or when he can't win.
Combat Man can drink potions, throw ender pearls, and even water bucket clutch!

Server lagging with Combat Man – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Combat Man consumes the most tick time.
