Features
(Your vanilla experience will be further enhanced thanks to these features)
Vanilla mobs can get really easy to defeat, especially in a modded environment where players have equipment and weapons superior to vanilla stats. This mod changes mobs difficulty by making them harder to kill. Each mob has been fine-tuned to feel different based on on-going player feedback. This will make each fight exciting similar to games like Dark Souls where you have to plan each mob fight.
Pehkui is recommended if you want to make the Ender Dragon fight harder (other mobs will work without it).
Some Examples:-
(Dont mess with Polar Bears!)
Permission - Feel free to use in your modpacks.

DarkMobs server crashes on startup – what to do?

Is DarkMobs compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
DarkMobs officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with DarkMobs – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if DarkMobs consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
