MobBlocks
MobBlocks replaces normal block drops with a mob encounter. When you break a block, a random mob spawns and you must kill it to receive the items.

About this Mod
MobBlocks
MobBlocks completely changes how block breaking works. Instead of instantly receiving items when mining a block, a glowing mob spawns in its place. You must kill that mob to receive the block's drops. Until you do, you cannot break any other block. If you die before killing the mob, it is removed and the items are lost permanently as a punishment.
💡 Inspired by a challenge of the YouTuber BastiGHG.

/mobblocks mobdrops <on|off>
Controls whether mobs drop their own natural loot in addition to the block's items. Default: off.
/mobblocks blockbinding <on|off>
When set to on, each block type is permanently mapped to one specific mob. The mapping is determined by the block type combined with the world seed, so it differs between worlds but stays consistent within the same world. When set to off, a completely random mob is chosen every time. Default: off.

Server lagging with MobBlocks – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if MobBlocks consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
