About this Mod
🦇 Spooky Scary Jockeys 💀
Putting the 'trick' back into trick or treat™

This mod adds various new jockeys, the spookiest combinations you'll probably get! Originally made for the MMD SpookyJam in 2021.
Skeleton Bat Jockeys
The night is dark and full of terrors.
Large Bats are the bigger and badder counterpart of regular bats with a desire for the player's blood! They will track, surround and swoop attack the player, similar to phantoms.
But they are not alone: With their loyal Skeleton Riders on their heads, they are a dangerous threat at both close range and from a distance!
When you get real unlucky, you might encounter a wither skeleton variant which is especially hard to see in the night sky.
Wither Skeleton Ghast Jockeys
From afar, a flame arises.
Small Ghasts are the slightly faster counterpart of ghasts with the inability to shoot fireballs. Instead, they got Sniper Wither Skeletons on their enormous heads which will shoot fiery arrows from up to 100 blocks away!
Vex Bat Jockeys (1.17+)
Even walls won't save you.
Vex Bats are the vex counterpart of bats, carrying pesky vexes even faster through the air. They are quite rare but be prepared if you shall catch a glimpse at something light blue! Requested by supersaiyansubtlety.
Spawn chances and other attributes are highly configurable.
More to come, open to suggestions as well!
